  1. Been without water and electricity for 3 days now, with a 3 year old, and somehow this thread is worse than this fucking ice storm. The last two pages are hot garbage smeared with steaming liquid shit. Fuck you people. 
     
    to make this relevant to recruiting the post quoted is fucking bullshit and completely fabricated. Ewers’s family, and I don’t mean a fucking cousin or uncle, want him at Texas. 
    Yeah but have you actually met Ewers?

    This is more of a commentary on how these guys are written about overall by the 9.95ers, but it's remarkable how literally like 80% of the people at these positions are the best in the country. I'm sure a lot of them are sources for 9.95ers but I have literally never seen anything written about a Director of Player Personnel where the consensus is that they're even mediocre at their job.

    That's not true, the predecessor is usually a step down - crazy how good all school are at hiring these guys

    Do you see a similarity between Tre Watson's potential role in the offense and Ty Jordan's? Then perhaps Mookie Cooper gets the Jake Smith sell? This could be strengthened if Jamison wins snaps at the slot this season.

    Yes Mookie Cooper is recruited for the Jake Smith spot. He said that somewhere sometime ago

    Basically Bodacious Bevo is correct. And White was behind Bonito on the list. When FCB fucked UT, Bonito bolted and White came into the picture. At that point it was too little too late.

    Anyway, the bigger point is that UT is only going after elite LBs. The state of Texas has been weak at linebacker. Brooks was one. Gbenda was two. Brooks lost it - turned in his ball. Gbenda may be given his dream shot, but Gbenda isn't elite.

    And so we have been forced to go out of state for elite guys.We got one guy, Floyd. We are going after McCoy, Davis, Tongue,  Tufono, Henry, Mangham, and Cooper. We need at least 3 and the odds of getting 2 out of that group isn't great. However, I wouldn't say that it is time to give up and bring in Gbenda. It may be the eventual outcome but since his size/speed combination isn't ideal, I agree with Orlando who is waiting on the other guys. If they don't pan out then it is time to circle back and reconsider Gbenda or Lytle or some other "late rising senior".

    And I think Hobbs and Overshown have the potential to be very good lbs for us after they put on weight and learn the position.

    LB recruiting has been pretty quiet this year. Why is that? As you have rightfully stated we are going mostly OOS because there are no elite LBs in state. This also means that our 9.95 don't have as much insights on the recruits. Just look at Houston, until last week, very few were projecting him to come to UT. Gbenda will probably commit if we push. That fact that we don't should be a hint that we currently feel could about the guys higher on our board. Last year Chip Brown (who ought to be fucked!) cost us Bonitto. Otherwise we would have gotten a pretty swell LB corps in him, AA, Hobbs, and Overshown (who I think will ultimately end up at Rover). Even without him, it is still pretty nice.

    That's we I'm not too worried about LB recruiting at this point. I think there is a good chance Tongue will end up with us, Tufono loved his visit and getting him back on campus would be big (I think he is dropping his top 5 this week). Personally, I love Davis and would love for him to come to us, but I think UGA is the safe pick here (which would in turn increase our chances for Tongue). Cooper is a little bit of a dark horse at this point, but IIRC he is supposed to visit sometime this summer. There will always be a place for Bru, and we will see how this will play out. I think we will get at least one of those guys and there is a decent probability that we will get two. That's why the staff might not be pushing as hard for Gbenda right now. Could it backfire à la White? Absolutely, but only time will tell
