Just saw Mel Kiper's draft board and not a single Red Raider in the top 150. Not one. Reminds me of the early 2000s when we couldn't get a guy drafted to save our lives until Wes Welker came along and reminded everybody what Lubbock produced. You know what the difference was back then? We reruited kids from small Texas towns who had something to prove. Kids who grew up working on farms and playing three sports. Now we're chasing the same five-star transfers as everybody else and losing the identity that made us dangerous. Coach Spike Dykes would drive his pickup truck to some dusty town in West Texas and find a quarterback nobody else wanted and turn him into a winner. That's how you build a program, not by swiping right on the portal.
