Getting a lot of good ABs despite a ridiculous zone. Good to see. Adding Yordan really changes our B-team lineup.

Thank you giving me your opinion on me personally in this post. It was both germane and also added some positive energy to my day.
I am now going to start all my conversations with "I don't think much of you, but . . ."

Lake was a power in the 80’s and 90’s before the new schools were built. Best player in any sport I ever played against played football for Lake in the 90’s.
Not Galveston Ball?

So it looks from the ratings of all the guys this weekend that it is most likely backup plans or under the radar types. Any idea who’s the most likely to blow up out of nowhere like an Overshown? Anybody?
Way too soon to be looking at rankings, other than a handful of no-brainer-type guys. The services arent anywhere near knowing who the upper middle class of recruits is yet.

He was also great in the latest Mad Max movie.

Of course, Surly may be biased in favor of the far-below-7% outliers.
I mean, HenryJames posts here.

From the article: "You try to throw as much against the wall as you can." That about sums it up. The coaching change had zero to do with this move.

Why is it being accepted that Tate is transferring because of a head coaching change? It seems to me he is transferring for no reason other than that Fields is transferring to tOSU. If fleeing competition is grounds for a waiver, the floodgates are well and truly open.

One might even say they are on the precipice.

This part is stunning and unintentionally hilarious:
"Not this time, though. This Kool-Aid is going to be as sweet as 1975-76 and 2010-11.
Surely, you remember those years. In the 1975-76 athletic year, A&M’s football team was 10-2, the basketball team won the Southwest Conference and the baseball team advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals.
In 2010-11 the football team was 9-4, the basketball team made the NCAA Tournament, the baseball team reached the College World Series, the men’s track team won the outdoor track national championship and the Gary Blair’s women’s basketball team won the national championship."The two greatest years in A&M athletics history. Bruce Springsteen should write a song about it.

New Poster. First posts defending Ro Simon & Addidas.
Righhhhhht.
I have never defended Ro Simon or any similar "trainer." I just know how this shit works at the board level for public companies and i have a hard time seeing Adidas watch its executives get arrested and imprisoned and say "oh well, let's keep at it." I doubt the directors or senior brass want to share a cell.

1990’s ... Phil Ford ... UNC a Nike school ... Boo Williams Hampton VA AAU ... Ronald Curry Hampton HS AA in both football and basketball ... verbal commit to UVA an Adidas school.
Last minute flip ... connect the dots.
Does not pass the smell test here and now. Adidas just had several guys get indicted and put in jail for pay for play. That means Adidas the company and its board and senior leadership have long since lawyered up to their eyeballs to "investigate" and play damage control. Nike is likely doing the same thing behind the scenes. I just cannot see any realistic scenario at all in which, while executives are going to jail, the company is still out there paying players. It is suicide. The DOJ can turn out your lights.
You tell the feds, with as much sincerity as you can muster, that these were a few bad apples playing dirty pool unbeknownst to the leadership, and we SWEAR we will do whatever it takes to clean up our act. If the games continue after you say that and it comes to light (and since the FBI is actively investigating and has had wiretaps, cooperating witnesses, etc., it damn well might) turn out the lights, fellas.
Ro Simon and his ilk might well try to play up their record to Adidas of "training" players who go on to Adidas schools in exchange for "sponsoring" their teams, which i assume includes paying the coach's salary. But unless i see proof otherwise, i have a hard time believing that shoe companies are still paying players under the table.

Not that i have plans to start posting again, but it is good to see 1 or 2 of you.

Do we get to ban CTJ if he doesn't commit tonight, or only if he doesn't commit at all?
