    Bijan will obviously be a UT legend, but Evans was another I was upset about (at the time).  Again, I learned to just read and trust you guys.  I enjoy recruiting, but have learned I don’t know shit lulz. 

    The thing about recruiting is that you have to evaluate how good a player is now and how much more he’ll develop physically. Is he playing shitty competition? Is he physically maxed out?

    I think that’s why people whiff on OL so often. They want to believe big HS OL are ready to go college players, but they have a crazy high bust rate. They’re often just bigger than everyone else but lazy as fuck. See: JPU.

    Skill players, how does their game translate to the next level? People knocked Jonathan Brooks because he went to Halletsville, but if you watched him play, he wasn’t good because he was at a small school. His game was always going to translate. He was never going to just be depth

    Even better. They had Texas at 6.

    Well, he said our helmet has been the same for two decades, so it’s clearly not classic. And with baby puke orange (as those mouth breathers like to call it) on a white background, it’s the opposite of clean.
     

    His logic is sound for those on the inside looking out. And licking the windows.

    The difference between sooner and aggy. The first post following that bullshit calls bullshit. On Texags, it would have been “I heard it was north of 9 figures and the sips had to take out a loan on DKR”. I’m not defending ou idiots, but they can kinda police themselves in ways that ags cannot. 

    And on an Arkansas board…they’re still trying to splice the wires together to get on “that there innernots.”

    The irony of all of this is that... yeah, our schedule this year isn't incredibly daunting.

    BUT that's what we have been trying to say for the past decade when aggy claimed "8-4 in the SEC is like 12-0 in the Big 12!!!".

    ...and in most of those years, our schedule was more difficult. Of course we don't play FCS schools and they do every season.

    He entered the portal some time ago, but if Texas is courting him they've kept it pretty quite. 

    If I remember his recruitment correctly, we liked him but didn't want him to play his preferred position. I think we wanted him to play DB and he wanted to play WR. So if he's seen the light about his place on the field, then bringing him in would make sense. Maybe a year at UH has given him some much needed perspective about his place in the food chain.

    Sounds right to me.

    In HS, he played all over the field, especially on offense. Played a lot of QB, as I recall (but I am getting old). He is certainly talented and versatile.

    Those kind of guys don't like to be pigeonholed in college until they realize you can't specialize in everything.

    I was just thinking, "is that where that came from?"

    It's not. But it's a huge coincidence that their school is such a piece of shit that they get confused with Mississippi State.

    "Richest school in America," my ass.

    I wonder honestly, who did more cocaine in their life...Rodney or Manziel?  Not judging, just curious?  

    But Rodney was an entertainer. It goes with the territory. Manziel was just a professional drug addict.

    I understand there's not a lot to talk about, and it's easy to get off topic. But if we're gonna have a side-bar, can it be something funny or more interesting than "can you change your throwing motion"? You fucking imbeciles are killing me here. 

    I Brie-lieve I agree with you.
