    There are people involved with recruiting who have been saying that this guy is bad news for months. You’re letting the player and his family off the hook. 

    I don’t follow the daily ups and downs that closely, but Ojo stating publicly a few months ago that he was Texas’s priority OT/OL in this class, given how long the staff had been on Turntine, was off-putting at the time and made me lukewarm on him (that was the first time I’d heard his name). 

    Give me the guy that didn’t feel any need to respond to Ojo’s statement, who is a better actual player, and who was choosing between Texas, Michigan and Stanford (probably the top three I’d encourage my kid to consider) every day of the week. That’s an easy pick.

    And yeah, I get that people are more annoyed that his bullshit may have cost the program other guys than they are about not getting him specifically. But I’m also not worried that Sark/Flood/Texas will figure it out.

    I was on campus the same time as Priest.  I saw him at the bus stop outside of Jester in early '95.  I remember him as not being very impressive from the standpoint of D1 running back.  I was standing next to him and thinking, "I am in better shape then this guy." 

    I remember seeing Ricky Williams for the first over by the old social work building one day, just in passing. I remember thinking that I’d never seen anyone that looked anything like this guy ever in terms of his body proportions. Like, to the point where the pattern-recognition conventions my brain had invented to identify humans as human weren’t really working. I hadn’t felt so physically inadequate since the day I tried to pick up a teenaged lifeguard at Splashtown when I was 11.

    Would an all burnt orange ensemble appeal to anyone as an option when playing aggy and/or 0u at home?

    Of course, it doesn't improve jersey sales, but...

    While it’s tempting to laugh at this, I’m still a little reluctant to be totally dismissive of the idea that this guy could be any good, because I’ve been around long enough to recall many of us mocking the K-State fan almost 20 years ago on HornFans who was hyping up this incredible white WR with blazing speed they had. We made Teddy Lehman jokes I think. Then Jordy Nelson had 100+ yards receiving and returned a punt for a TD and Texas got its ass kicked at home by KSt. I think we pretty unanimously gave that K-State guy props on HF after that for calling his shot, not much else to do.

    Maybe if he'd have ever had a meaningful hit in an Astros uniform in all the different playoff games he got to play in I'd give half a shit. But he didn't and I don't. 

    He had a .874 OPS with 4 HR in 16 postseason games in 2021 (pennant-winning team). That wasn’t all meaningless.

    I think we are doing some decent quality writing on the Astros that’s informative sometimes, fun sometimes and sometimes both.
