Do they have any real, concrete examples to point to support the "the Sips have the bags out again!" stuff?
Sure just like they have the fact that we gave his dad and his coach a job......
but we can't talk about it because it's only known by those in the know...

There's some great ones, but this one continues to be hilarious.....Arch manning being bought......because money (which he would get wherever he went, and outside of corporate NIL probably doesn't really move the needle for them) would be the deciding factor for the Manning clan.........

I keep expecting to hear something on Shelby considering his brother got cut by the Rams and all that....but maybe he just genuinely wants to go to LA I guess.

What the fuck. So, the exact same coaching staff decided to actually coach in 2022.
No the exact same coaching staff had an actual spring to go through rather than implementing a new system and staff without any spring practice.

Dude, you have been absolutely crushing the rebuking of posters in this forum for having contemporaneous opinions germane to the program that sometimes don't pan out. We should all sit on our hands like you and swing back by in 365-730 days when some of the board's thoughts were proven incorrect and form a chorus of fates against its wrongheadedness. I remember you boldly showing up after the 2021 season when Coburn said he was staying to tell us that he'd have a standout '22 season.
Beyond that, no one said Collins was going to get processed. There was discussion around him not liking his role and PT and going elsewhere.
As well, UH coordinated three OVs in the same weekend with UT recruits. Two of those recruits took it very seriously and one of them had to be aggressively shored up. That's, you know, how fucking recruiting works. Roster management is never a snapshot but a moving picture. Get over yourself.
So sorry I seem to have offended you. I will try to step carefully in the future and try not to hurt your feelings.
I wasn't calling out anybody other than the Forum in general for our gargantuan freak outs about players. Plenty of people have called Collins a bust. I didn't prognosticate success for either of them but nor did I freak out from one bad season with very little coaching and no spring workouts while implementing an entirely new staff and system.
I was correct on Sunday niggt btw when I tried to tell yall he wasn't flipping to UH. But I guess others aren't allowed to hear things. UH boosters were saying it was dead when he got home without flipping and they thought the 6 figure NIL rumors for a receiver were hilarious.

Quitting on the job imo.
He actually came on and played decently toward the end of the year. I don't know if I've ever been more disappointed in a guy I thought was going to be a super star after a really great freshman year than I am with him. After that Alamo Bowl I'd have sword he was going to be 3 and out at Texas and go no later than the 2nd round. Crazy.Collins will be fine. Heck, experts on this board were saying he was gonna processed and Cobourn was going to just be a name on a roster this year....Seriously, the 2021 season was a horrible season to evaluate anyone based off the fact that they basically didn't get any coaching whatsoever and it showed. Cobourn was back to dominant this year and Collins came on amazingly well the last 6 games. Geez this forum likes to hyperventilate.....Is Tillman still splashing the NIL pot to take all our good cruits or just the one who was a candidate to be processed anyway?

I have no doubt that Bowen’s getting paid but 2 million seems… excessive. Especially when ou couldn’t even raise 2 million in a month.
I don't know which I find harder to believe. OU paying 2 mill or Bowen claiming he's picking on program fit....

It's always crazy to watch aggies rationalize bad shit happening with their program. Of the 20 guys officially in the portal from ATM, 9 of them are from the last two classes. 6 of them were originally top 100 national recruits. 13 4 stars, 2 5 stars. Y Brown was a 4 star and he's not listed yet. If Cooper does jump, he's another 4 star. Admittedly, one of the players (3 star) is a kicker, but the premise that many of the rest of these guys were dead weight is laughable. Their guys going in are young.
Compare their losses, so far, to Texas. Texas has 12 scholarship players in the portal. 4 of them are offensive linemen. ATM has one OL in there. You want the non-performing OLs such as Garth, Parr and Karic in there, as they don't contribute on special teams. Admittedly, losing Angilau wasn't ideal. There are 4 guys from 2021 in there and none from 2022. One of the 2021 is the punter. It's mostly older guys that have been passed over on the depth chart.
Sign a big class every year and then optimize & cherry-pick from the portal. A&M is bizarrely doing the opposite. Signing a tiny class and then trying build all of their depth in the portal.

Interesting to see if that company works out. They make 15% from school of enrollment (85% to athlete), 10%+ from 'losing' schools (you can refund for 90% after the athlete enrolls).
The bigger question is how many people can they get to actually purchase/collect these?
The same people who buy crypto currency and NFTs

Huh? I never said anything about a 6 figure deal. You're applying logic to recruiting. I'm not the one needing a reset here. What I posted wasn't my own conjecture, but you guys can do with it as you desire, as always.
Sorry that was the main conjecture that people were running with for the visit was Fertita was supposedly splashing the NIL pot. From people I still know in Houston and Galveston, I don't think Fertita is giving money to football, I think his, which having dealt with the prick is probably a small amount, is all tied up in the basketball program.
That said, the people I know that are tied in to UH aren't confident at all a flip happens. They had some confidence on Sunday, but the moment he got back home and no quick flip was coming they lost confidence. They say family wants him going to school outside of Houston and supposedly he just got cold feet about leaving everything he knows for a place he really doesn't know much about, which is quite understandable.

What Gerry is saying there is that things look better, but this one is going to be a motherfucker to bring home on NSD1. I hope Sarkisian is wearing a santa costume tomorrow and his bag is loaded, then maybe put this to rest.
Man.....you are spending too much time with Satya or something....UH may have put on the full court press, and I understand traveling to Austin is a legit concern with his family.....but the report of UH offering 6 figures to this guy is totally bogus. They have receivers, they don't have anyone who can get the ball to them and their lone QB recruit is ranked 1306 in the country, that isn't fixing that and if they were offering 6 figures to Niblett, I would think they would have already bagged a decent QB(despite reports UH doesn't have the NIL that people seem to think, it just isn't there).
He took a visit. He got cold feet about leaving home and family when he basically never leaves the metro area. Mom and Grandma want him in Austin(for a multitude of reasons not just the school). Them getting to Austin to see him play is a legit concern that hopefully will be handled.

If it were a player would he still be on the team at this point? Asking for the kid who got booted from the baseball team for drinking from a flask at a game. Asking for the kid who got booted for running from the cops with weed...
What are you talking about, James Street drank a beer every half inning in the dugout when he threw his perfect game.

Is the mom going to be dropping by for daily visits? 2.5 hours for 7 home games is easily managed.
That would depend:
1. Do you own a car?
2. Do you have a low paying job that requires you to work on Saturdays?
3. Do you ever really leave the greater Houston Metro area?
I used to work with kids from middle class families in the Galveston County area that basically never left the metro area. Took a group to Tech once for a contest...talk about culture shock for those kids.

Barring a family issue......Niblett "Ain't going to no damn Cougar High".
I can tell you Tillman is a jock sniffing nut job, but if he was throwing around cash like that for recruits(6 figure deals for Niblett et al) don't you think they'd have a QB recruit ranked higher that 1300th....

Good lord....Kids take visits. It's fun to bd recruited and the perks of official visits are nice. I will be shocked if any of those 3 flip to Cougar high.

I love response number 1 here. Of course the most logical and most likely response is that they are all getting recruited over from the portal. This may be the most aggie post ever.

@Longhornfrenzy you're part of our recruiting sell now
This is greatness. It isn't true and isn't happening and it's almost insulting to their recruits that they think it's believable that this kind of garbage would actually impact a recruit's decision.....but lets play around in bizarroo world that TexAgs is living in:
If copies of posts from the message board were actually negatively impacting recruiting.....TexAgs as an arm of the TAMU athletic department would either be being negligent by not requiring you to log in to view their forum......or selling out their own program for the page view revenue that is generated by the supposed "tons of eyeballs" that view their pages but aren't logged in or registered.
I don't know which would be worse.....

Looch
Translation from Loochesse: "No Jimbo hasn't offered the job to all these rumored candidates and been turned down. I have no idea who he will actually get to take our money and be his fall guy.....but it probably isn't anyone we want so I'll throw out Petrino's name....oh yeah and I forgot to mention in here that Adazzio is probably not getting fired."
In all seriousness he apparently stated that Adazzio may be retained.

Matt Mitchell SEC roll call is on point regarding A&M and basically entire SEC.
A&M: "What about us?"
SEC Santa: "You know you really do embody the spirit of Christmas. "
A&M "You mean our program embodies love and kindness."
SEC Santa "No you bought a bunch of stuff and now your giving it away in the portal."
