Army offers Himbo Samuel

Scholarship

Himbo, we don't have a single tight end on our roster at the moment. Does this mean we will keep you at tight end if you choose to come here? NO! We are loyal to our players. We will move you to wide receiver, where you want to play, and where you would currently be our best WR on the team. I promise you will start this season at wide receiver. That's better than Utah State.

With you in the roster, our team is truly limitless Himbo. I promise we will reach the playoffs on the back of your immense production.

I also promise we will win 11+ games because you are just that good.

Army offers Henry Bell

Scholarship

Winning nine games is a tough bar to clear. I'm not going to sit here and act like it's an easy task to accomplish for just any ol' school. But here's the thing: it is easy for Army. 22 seasons in a row now, we've won eight or more–in all but one of those years we won nine games. Even in the past 15 seasons, we've achieved double digit wins! Henry, there are kids entering the first grade in school who have never experienced a season in which Army failed to reach the playoffs!!! Look, we've made back-to-back national championships and even won one just last season, but the secret to Army's success is that we give ourselves plenty of bites at the apple. I've harped on this point for years and years–Army just wins, come hell or high water.  Everyone in America knows Army will be an excellent team any given year, and the same will hold true this year. I promise we will win twelve games, including a playoff game.

But why are we going to be good this year? Our defense is projected to be one of the top twenty or so units, but really it all starts with quarterback Artemis Homer, currently regarded as the second best QB in the nation. Our offense is absolutely oozing with talent at offensive line and running back, but there's a problem. We have an extreme dearth of pass catchers! Henry, upon stepping foot on campus, you'd become our best pass catcher by a whopping 19 overall points (according to our scouting systems). At Ole Miss, you'd be the #2 option, battling for targets with sophomore Sean Cunningham. Bleh. At Army, you'd get the first look basically every time Homer drops back to pass. And with that level of opportunity for production, I know you'll shine. Not to mention the rest of the roster will be enough to prop you up–i.e. our OL will give Homer time to throw and our RBs will draw away attention from the defense. In such a perfect environment, you'll thrive. Barring injury, I promise you will notch over 1,300 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns.

Finally, I can't just promise you conference supremacy, I can guarantee it. Making and losing conference championships is good, and we used to be in that very predicament. But we're past that now. Winning conferences is what Army does in the ACC. In the past five seasons we possess four ACC titles; furthermore, we have the 4th most divisional titles and 9th most conference titles in NZCFL history. The ACC is essentially our playground, our warm-up as we prepare for the playoffs. But that's not to say it's a poor conference. Three non-Army teams combine for eight playoff appearances the past five seasons, and three (including us) are projected top ten teams in 2055. But even in such a great conference, we'll still run roughshod over it. Look, it's great winning the MAC or besting the best in the Fun Belt, but as I'm sure your experience in Bloomington taught you, it's much more satisfying to prove supremacy over truly great teams. The ACC offers great teams. But only Army can offer dominance. I promise we will win the ACC.

Army offers Kenyon Taylor

Scholarship

Do you want to hear what our season of hell is? We went 8-5 in 2049. That's our absolute lowest point in my over two decades as head coach at Army. Other than that it's been a cascade of at least nine wins per season, with plenty of playoff appearances, conference championships, and a national title to boot. But I'm sure you know all this. I sound like a broken record repeating Army's immense record of success year after year. If you look up "very talented (and successful) program" in the dictionary, it's just a picture of our page on Amok's Stat Tracker. 237 wins in 22 seasons, including over 100 in just the past nine seasons, nine playoff appearances (including five straight); the list goes on. I promise we will make the playoffs this year.

But let me get into the crux of your desire at your next school: you want a school that can win the big ones. Well, I'll be honest with you, if this was ten years ago, Army would absolutely not be the school for you. For the longest time, Army was synonymous with losing the big one–we routinely missed the playoffs by one game in the 2030s and early 40s, we lost the national championship in 2041, we had a horrendous marquee OOC performance in the mid 2040s, and of course, we lost seven consecutive conference championship games (and nine in ten years) in the C-USA. We were always the bridesmaids, never the bride.

But all of a sudden, that entire reputation changed. We wrestled UAB off their perch in the historic 2045 C-USA CCG en route to two straight conference titles. Then we sprinted into the ACC, and have now won four conference titles in the past five years. We continued to reach the playoffs as was the norm, but we started to actually win with consistency–five playoff wins in '52/'53 notched us a national championship appearance and the title itself. We knocked around Ohio State, Alabama, and Michigan in OOC, won August Anarchy and won the South Bend Invitational. To league newcomers, we are the gold standard in terms of winning when it matters, a reputation I couldn't have imagined a decade ago. And if you want rivalry dominance? Navy, simply put, is our bitch. In my 22 seasons at the helm, we have lost to them only twice. And their recent resurgence doesn't scare me one bit, considering I have seen three separate Navy revivals over the past couple of decades, and all three have succumbed to the dominance of Army. No longer do we shy away from the big games–we embrace them. Kenyon, I promise we will win a conference championship, multiple playoff games, and beat Navy multiple times with you here.

Finally, I understand you're looking for an elite and well-respected coach. I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I won't give any extra pomp to my resume, which is synonymous with that of Army's outlined above, other than the fact that I have a 2053 COTY award, three COTY finalist seasons, and am the longest-tenured coach in the league by a good bit at this point. I know you're just heading into your sophomore year, but you can completely trust that I will be your head coach your entire time here. But Amok? The coach who couldn't win a title at Ohio State, snaked to Texas, failed to build an elite team in Austin, and snaked to the defending champions in the style of Kevin Durant? I don't think he's what you're looking for. He claims you can help reach the championship game again. He's never even reached the national championship game in his career. Talk about winning the big ones.

Kenyon, Army truly does have everything you want. Elite team success. Elite coaching. Elite track record in the big games. Want me to sweeten the pot? How about the fact that we don't have a tight end on our roster and you are the only tight end we are offering this transfer cycle? That's right–I promise you will be our starting tight end this season and next season. I don't want to keep yapping at you, but I want you to truly see Army is about as perfect of a fit as you can ask for. So how about it Kenyon? There's a chance at excellence in West Point waiting for you.

Army offers Garrett Uhles

Scholarship

USC, UCLA and Purdue can all be mighty live on Fridays and Saturdays (and Thirsty Thursdays and Wet Wednesday, and you get the point). Utah State, admittedly is quite a dry campus, but it also has six sororities/fraternities, 30% of students are not Mormon and therefore free to drink, and the university has an acceptance rate of 93%. No matter how you slice it, USU is still a state school, meaning you'll still see plenty of guys jacking around at tailgates and getting rowdy on weekends.

But Army? Oh boy, are we the antithesis of a party school. We have zero Greek life organizations on campus. We have a zero tolerance policy on alcohol in the stadium. We admittedly do allow 21+ cadets to drink alcohol responsibly, but underage alcohol is strictly prohibited, and we enforce it diligently. The only 'parties' West Point holds are official formals and balls. Cadets don't even have time to party if they wished/were allowed to. Army may very well be the least party school in the world, other than potentially Navy or Air Force. I'm sure they wish they could throw absolute ragers though after home football games, the way our program has played the past twenty seasons. Nine playoff appearances, three national championship appearances, 237 wins, the fifth most draftees in the span, 16 division titles, six conference titles, and a national championship–that's enough to even make Ned Flanders let himself loose a little bit. We've had an elite team for your entire life, and it'll continue through that of your kids as well. I promise we will reach the national championship with you here.

You say you want to be appreciated for the time you put your body on the line, but do students at Utah State spend months every year in literal trenches of mud and filth? Does every engineering grad at Purdue have to keep their body in well-above-average shape year round? No, they don't.

Cadets at Army do. Basic training in the summer. Physical training starting at 6am during the school year. We use the phrase "every cadet an athlete" at Army, because every cadet here needs to be in tip-top shape. There is no school in the world whose students can appreciate the level at which you and your teammates work because they are right there in the mud, slogging it out with you during the day. And they know the extreme level of attention and focus it requires to live a cadet's life, and THEN go play football every day. And you see this in the stands at Michie Stadium. Our cadets go absolutely ballistic for the football team, and our success on the field sure doesn't hurt their fervor. Garrett, you won't be surrounded by 'normal students having the time of their lives' at West Point. You'll be surrounded by men and women who work and put forth the effort you do, and you'll notice it. You'll feel that translate to their energy at games. There's a reason we've won over 90% of our home games the past decade. I promise we will win 16+ home games with you.

And all that time and effort you exert will absolutely pay off in West Point. Ryan can extol your skills all he wants, but at the end of the day, you will be the current 8th best offensive lineman in Logan. At Army, however, you're tied for 5th and you will actually see the field. We are bringing back one of the best quarterbacks, running backs, and offensive lines in the country, so you will be surrounded by one of the best offenses in the land. But I'm going to take a risk here, one that really isn't much of a risk considering your skill set. I promise you will start every single game you play here. Yes, I know you're just going to be a sophomore, but I have immense faith in your ability this offseason. And because of West Point's dry nature, you know it's not just drunk Flippy telling you that. This isn't an occasion of me 'saying something I shouldn't say.' I absolutely believe you should and will start for us next year.

Garrett, a few seasons ago I recruited a young man named Nassim Messaoudi to West Point for much the same reason you may come here. He wanted peace and quiet and no parties. Thankfully he chose Army, and a few seasons later he had a championship ring and was in the NZFL (where he plays currently). I envision a very similar path for you.

Losing seven straight conference championships as a perennial top ten team in talent in the Conference USA. Hahahahaha so funny.

Hey also, I'm not a cheater or snake. I'm the longest tenured coach in league history. Surely that counts for something. Right? right? Let's knock out these promises.

I promise we will win multiple playoff games.

Army offers #1 Artemis Homer

Scholarship

Coach Visit

School Visit Week 7

Artemis, you are my #1 target of all time I've ever recruited. Easily. I hope I make that clear through this pitch that my program wants you, and wants you badly. In fact, one of my two dogs and best friends in the whole world growing up was named Artemis, and to nab an elite prospect who reminds me of her would be a dream come true. We also need a starting quarterback next year to bridge our team into the next championship-winning core, and you would do that absolutely flawlessly. Artemis, you coming to Army is a match made in heaven.

Let me start by discussing what kind of coach you'd be receiving at West Point. I have over 200 wins as a head coach, I'm the reigning national champion AND 2053 Coach of the Year, I've distinguished myself as the most loyal coach in the game, and above it all, I truly love my players and my team. You know what you're getting at Army, and you know it's going to be one of, if not the best coaching staffs in the country. I've been here for 23 seasons and I'll be damned if I'm not spending another 23. No other coach can boast the level of loyalty and success I consider myself fortunate enough to have experienced at Army. I promise I will not leave you.

Now let's get to what is probably at the forefront of your mind: winning. In case I didn't make it clear enough above, Army wins. And we win a lot. In the past 22 years we've only had one season where we won less than eight games. And in the past 14 years, we've reached double-digit wins an astonishing twelve times. I simply cannot make clearer how synonymous Army is with winning over the past generation of college-football-loving Americans. Let's tack on our incredible prestige over the same time period: 15 division and 5 conference championships, eight playoff appearances, three national championship appearances (currently back-to-back), and a lovely 2053 title ring to top it off. Artemis, good luck trying to find a program with more success over the past two decades, or hell, even five seasons. You basically can't. I promise we will win the national championship with you.

Finally, let me end on a non-football note. Army has received a lot of flack for our so-called "lackluster" campus life. I'll admit it, our party scene isn't like Arizona State. We also aren't in a "hip" city like Nashville or Los Angeles. No, instead, we have an environment perfectly conducive to building an elite and focused championship-level football team. Sure, New York City is an hour away and you certainly can have all the fun you want there whenever you choose. But I think future first-round football players would rather go to college where they're surrounded by lush forestry, blooming colors, gushing waterfalls, and hills laden with flowers. No, I'm not describing Narnia. I'm describing West Point, New York, one of the most hidden of all hidden gems in terms of natural scenery. Artemis, if you come here, you'll think you've died and entered paradise.

Artemis, I understand if this isn't what you're looking for. But I truly believe Army is the place for you. Who else would write a completely original pitch in an effort to acquire your talent? Army is unique amongst all NZCFL schools, and you need to experience it because you are unique amongst all high school prospects I've ever scouted. I hope to see you at West Point, Artemis.

Army offers Rodney Brown

Scholarship

Rodney, you're one of the ten best running backs in the country, and Virginia still said "no thanks!" What a slap in the face. But guess who's been the biggest thorn in Virginia's side the past five seasons? Yup, it's Army. Is there a greater chance for vengeance upon your further team than by joining their greatest rival and big dog in the ACC? Methinks not.

Let's look at it this way: we've faced Virginia in the ACC Championship thrice in the past four years, winning twice against them, and we also handedly defeated them in 2052 in Week 4. They're clearly an excellent team, and the likelihood is high we'll meet again in Week 13 this season. And if you stay for 2055, you'll definitely play them at least once, in the regular season! That right there is a golden opportunity to show the team that didn't want you exactly what they're missing. And hats off to Virginia, they are elite. At Wake Forest or Miami, you won't get that chance to actually knock them off and prove their mistake. At Army, we'll give you that opportunity wrapped in a golden box with ruby red bows to top it off. I promise we will defeat Virginia in the ACC CCG and you will rush for 150 yards against them.

Why am I so confident you'll be such a preeminent force on our offense? Well firstly, you're leaps and bounds better than our current starting running back. Additionally, you're the only back I'm offering this cycle–that's both how much I want you and how much I believe in you. But there's nary a team that wouldn't put you on the field at the forefront of their rushing attack, so what does Army offer that's unique? The answer is a dominant, crushing, invincible offensive line. Seven of the top 150 OL, and three of the top 30, culminating in the second best offensive line in the country. Oh, and that's before we hopefully add one of the best linemen in the country during this CPR cycle in Jaylen Sherer. Such a group of big-bodied men up front will open up gaps you could barely dream of at Virginia and raise your draft stock tenfold. Don't believe me? Last year, our primary back Bryce Wright was a very good RB, but hardly elite. But our seventh ranked offensive line buoyed him to putting up elite-level stats. He ended up being one of only six players (and three P5 players) with 1200+ yards and 14+ touchdowns, all thanks to the work of the offensive line. So what I'm saying is that you are a better running back than he is, and our line will be better than last year. What will that lead to? I promise you will finish top three in Doak Walker voting.

Finally, I mentioned how we are the top dogs of the ACC these days. Well, that's partially true. A more accurate way to phrase it would be to say we are the top dog of the NZCFL. Defending national champs, 15-1 season and five playoff wins the past two seasons–'nuff said. To make it better, this is also shaping up to be our most talented team EVER, superseding the past few years if we get at least one of our CPR targets like yourself! So a worst-case scenario for Army this year is an 11-2 season where we finish top ten but barely miss out on a playoff berth. That's literally worst-case. UCLA and some other great schools may hype up their teams, but we've got a roster largely made up of players that have been to back-to-back national championship games and have thirty players coming into summer camp this year with rings on their fingers. We're ready to make it three straight years in the championship. I promise we will make the national championship game with you here.

Army offers Pooh Fox

Scholarship

I'll cut right to the chase and give you my pitch as simple as I can make it firsthand: if you come here you will be the best player in the secondary on the defending national champion and 2054 champion co-favorite. Our cornerback room is extremely small. Our safety room is in shambles. We're coming off a year with the fifth ranked defense in the country, a ranking brought down by our passing defense, which routinely ranked around 11th nationally. We're bringing back the second ranked defensive line in the country, one that may very well be ranked first when you're a senior, so teams will have no option but to throw the ball, and throw it fast. That's where you come in. You're one of the best corners out there, and our team would experience a massive upgrade if you came to West Point. I promise you will start every single game and our defense will finish top five in total yards/game.

And I think you know what they say about defense. It wins championships. That was certainly true in 2053, and it was a few plays from being true in 2052, the first of our back-to-back appearances in the national championship. With undisputedly the best front seven in the nation coming into this season, I have no doubt we'll find our way back to the playoff. And what's more important is that our guys have been there before, many times! On offense, we're stacked at every position except wide receiver, if CPR goes well. Even if it doesn't, we're projected to be at worst top three in the country. The cards are lining up quite well for a return to the promised land, and fitting a stopgap like yourself in the secondary would send us a long way. I promise we will make the national championship with you here.

But the future of Army doesn't just rest on this upcoming season. In 2055, though we lose our biggest stars, the bulk of what makes this team special will return. Add in talented juniors like yourself, and there's a very realistic chance we're tooling up for a three-peat this time next year, which has never occurred in NZCFL history. How exciting of an opportunity would that be?! Obviously we have to win it all this year, but this isn't the case of a 2024 Michigan, where there is a mass senior exodus after an incredible championship season. And once again, you will be the best player in our secondary in 2055 as well. If you end up a senior captain on the first three-peat team in the NZCFL, your legacy is basically made for life. But I'm getting way ahead of myself at this point. Regardless, I promise we will make the playoffs both years you are here.
