“If you have to talk a kid into coming here, you’ll have to talk that kid into playing hard”

Jeannine Edwards tweeted this picture of a quote written in the Texas Tech football facility that echoes Kliff Kingsbury’s philosophy in recruiting moments ago. It’s a little something that he picked up from Spike Dykes.

If you’ve ever recruited, or begged a kid to come out for football at the high school level, you know just how true this is (more times than not).
