  1. 247 limits their own internal rankings to 32 five stars, based on that being how many first round draft picks there are. I'm guessing they set a composite ranking threshold (.9834?) as the line between 4 and 5 stars, and it's arbitrary on how many recruits achieve that ranking.

  2. So with the final recruiting rankings coming out here over the next few days, I wonder if we were to go back and re-rank Dicko, where would he ultimately end up in 247's rankings? Based on being the number 149 player taken in the draft, he would be a high 4 star, which is apparently what 247 bases its rankings on. For some perspective, that's 6 spots higher than Jake Smith is currently ranked. 

    Anyway, Michael Dickson is good.

    Looks like we are #7 in composite now at 91.32, ahead of OU and ahead of aggy by .23 points.

    To clarify, we're number 7 for average recruit ranking, not total ranking.

    I see Hookfin is now ranked 85 spots above Shepherd in the composite, which I think is funny.

    Just as long as you understand he's a guard not a tackle.  To me he's another Patrick Vahe, but hopefully with a little better awareness in pass pro.

    Well considering you have 2 interior guys for sure in Parr and Majors, one guy that projects to either OG/OT in Lindberg, and 2 OTs. I would say it would be the perfect line class, and the depth chart at Texas should be enticing as there isn't a lot of experienced depth right now to keep those guys off the field for 2-3 years.

    You're both definitively stating that Majors is a guard. I've only seen him as a Tackle. Where is this confidence in him being an inside guy coming from?

    It's more that we're better equipped to fight them than we have been.

    Sure. I wouldn't disagree with that. But I don't think "the narrative has changed" in any way. I hope our on-field success results in some head-to-head battles with those fuckers.

    Ya that wasn’t what was said at all but it’s interesting that you interpreted that way.

    My post was slightly tongue in cheek, but I just don't agree that, as you put it, "the Stanford Texas equation has changed for the future." As long as Stanford fields a competitive football team that puts guys in the league and offers an education on par with the Ivy Leagues, the Stanford equation is a constant. They will always be a threat to sign guys like Little, Bragg, Lindberg, etc. We could win 3 national championships in the next decade and still lose guys to them. 

    I don't really want to open this can of worms because it's been beaten to death, but to assume that Stanford poses less of a threat in recruiting is premature. I'm gonna wait until we win the majority of these head-to-head battles before I can start disregarding them.

     

     

  7. Don't worry. Multiple posters have insisted that the narrative has changed re: Stanford and they're no longer a threat because we won one big game. Apparently people won't care about a Stanford education anymore because we beat Georgia.

  8. Or maybe he feels the same way I do about you entitled worthless pricks. I don't know. If presented with the facts concerning these pimp trainers he'd probably say it's ruining the game. Willie would get that. And hydraulic dad got it too. FWK is a pimp. I called it as I saw it. I don't usually ask permission from the lady folk before I do so. I apologise Sydney I might need to enroll in sensitivity classes so as to not offend ladies like yourself.

  9. Technically this wasn't even a Junior Day. They were just able to convince a lot of elite prospects to come on campus at the same time. Worked out well because Jimbo and other staffs didn't have a chance to put together a competing event.

    What is a Pizza Puff?

    It's a puff pastry that's filled with cheese and red sauce and pepperoni that has the consistency of being run through a blender, and then you deep fry the fucker.  They're delicious/disgusting.

  11. Little darlin is owned by the Yellow Jacket Social Club folks. The chef at little darlin used to be the chef at a The Nitehawk in Brooklyn, which is a movie theater that serves booze and good food and owned by my buddy, a former fellow Longhorn. The fried chicken sandwich is better than the burger, imo, and the burger is damned good.

    I love little darlin. It’s right down the street from me. I also love metal and country music and chicks with tattoos and smoking cigarettes on a patio and those are all things I can do there.

  12. I'd eat that.  I'll have to make a weekend trip south of the river.

    There’s a joint in round rock called Lucky’s Chicago grill that sells beefs. No idea if it’s worth a shit. Not sure how far north you are.
