Trin Lore (Trenton Luera), a former college quarterback, speaks directly to recruits about the frustrations of the college football recruiting process. He recounts a recent Twitter Space question about whether he ever wanted to quit recruiting, explains his own modest recruiting background (not a top-rated prospect, from middle California, was a backup), and frames his message to encourage recruits who are discouraged by the process.
