    Might want to check your facts on that one.

    Also, the last I heard was that 140 Capitol police officers were injured. So they didn’t die. It’s still kind of a big deal, especially when it was violence encouraged by a guy who professed to be “the law and order President” (as if we hadn’t heard that claim before).

    Who was killed by BLM?

    I know it’s not lost on any of you all that, as of late, Texas hasn’t been hitting home runs on the recruiting front.

    I’m sure there are a variety of reasons but I wanted to offer up three particular issues I think may be weighing on Texas a bit.

    ***The turn over at Texas had dulled the pitch. This really isn’t on Sark, at all. Texas has just had so many coaching changes in such a short period of time that a lot of these kids are old enough to remember that Charlie was supposed to bring Texas back to the promised land. Then, Herman was going to change things.

    So, Sark isn’t getting the benefit of the doubt the way Charlie and Herman did.

    Players continue to say that they want to see the product on the field. To add to that, what’s going to be expected of Sark in his first year is probably more than what Herman was expected to deliver.

    ***Another issue outside of Sark’s hands that I think is impacting recruiting is Covid.

    I didn’t initially think much about the Covid effect. But something that reminded me of how difficult it can be to recruit as a new coach let alone a new coach in unprecedented circumstances, was Demarco Murray’s sudden change in fortune at OU.

    Murray was hired at OU just before Covid. In his first class, Murray, a former star NFL player, OU alum recruiting for a program that produces a number of backs landed exactly zero running backs in his first class. Zero.

    Fast forward one year and he has two top five running backs committed (Raleek Brown and Gavin Sawchuk) and is in a pretty good spot Jovantae Barnes.

    Again, it’s tough sledding coming into a new program and building new relationships. But, when you can’t even visit the players or have them visit you until months into your arrival, it makes it that much more difficult.

    ***The final issue is one I think Sark can and will control. I think Sark is missing a couple of key pieces on his staff.

    He has great coaches on the staff. But sometimes you need one or two true recruiting guys that can bring it all together.

    In my estimation, Sark will need one staff replacement. He will need a guy like a Rashaad Samples type who is both a coach and an elite recruiter who can leverage relationships.

    I also believe he will need to add a top recruiter to his front office. I get the sense he needs a narrator of sorts – someone who can tie the Texas message together, hold a room of parents and recruits and make coaches look great.

    Herman had Carrington for that and I have to admit, as much I knew Carrington was a great asset, I didn’t realize just how vital he was. My suspicion is that Sark didn’t realize it either.

    So, again I think Sark will need to add a front office guy. Those two simple additions can make all the difference.

    Having said all of the above, as you know, winning cures all. But if Texas has more of an eight or nine win season, I think you’ll see the third issue remedied. The first two will work themselves out.

     

    Both Carrington and Samples should have been at Texas as long as they wanted.

    Pretty sure the person who posted about it on IT said one of the TE’s missed workouts to go on vacation and it was Helm. No mention of Sanders.

    I am shocked Bruh Man took the most pessimistic possible take on this, potentially mixed in with some pure invention to make it seem even worse.

    I posted verbatim what he said.

    Yes, he said it was Sanders.

    Anyone in the know at IT - was the only explanation from the mods on being so wrong about Banks was simply a “my bad” explanation?  Had to be more that that. I would think subscribers would be calling them out over that kind a bs response.

    Share if there was more explanations please. 

    Wait for the Scoop tomorrow. There's been a few cancellation threats but I wouldn't call a mutiny. IT solidified a cult following by hiring Gerry and being the anti-OB.

    I don't want to be in their corner too much, because they're going to be absolutely insufferable until the season starts, but it seems like Gerry and Nahlin, in good faith, had a shitty source. Gotta go with what you've got if you're trying to see into the future.

    Guess the family just liked talking to Perroni more, which, woof.

    Yeah it seems like that's the case - bad source and they're in too deep to reverse course now.

    Still, it's not a good look for a staff w/ Bobby, Gerry and Eric to get schooled like this on a GHA 5 star recruit.

    Damn, now Nick Harris is vs IT as well. Tomorrow will be a make or break moment for IT.

    Only one who has posted on IT today is Gerry and he hasn't really said anything of substance. Bobby, Eric and Justin have been M.I.A. 247 are the only ones giving concrete updates. In a recruitment like this, I think they have the advantage of being able to get insight from all the parties.
