Welcome back to the state of Recruiting's Open Mike.

I'm Mike Rochiff, Warns 247, and each week I'll be sitting down with a friend or colleague

from the industry to talk about football or recruiting. This week's guest is Tyler Foster.

Coach Foster formerly worked as the running backs coach at Prairie View A&M and as a recruiting staffer

at Oklahoma State. He talks about the process of evaluating prospects for recruitment

and what we can expect from some of the Texas commits he evaluated during his time in Stillwater.

So please enjoy this conversation with Tyler Foster.

And now joining me on this week's edition of Open Mike, it is a good friend of mine.

And to me, one of the best talent evaluators in the state of Texas right now,

he formerly worked for Oklahoma State in their recruiting department, worked for Prairie

A&M as a running backs coach. It is my friend, Coach Foster. Coach, thanks for joining me today.

I appreciate it, Mike. Glad to be here, man. Thanks for having me.

So first off, just kind of, you know, what's been going on with you during this quarantine,

man, what you've been working on, you know, any good TV shows, anything like that?

I know you, you've just been working out and going to Chick-fil-A, but share something good with us,

man.

Man, quarantine time for me has just been about staying mentally sharp.

So anything I can do that helps me stay focused while we don't have sports.

So as you mentioned, of course, I'm working out like crazy.

That's what I do.

And since the gyms have been shut down, it had been a lot of outdoor cardio for me.

So it gives me time to mentally clear a lot of things out. But from a recruiting aspect, it's just trying to find kids in every, every hole, every pocket of the state, even of the nation, just trying to make sure I don't leave anything
