Everything we have been forecasting about Clemson is coming true. I know I’m not some sort of savant with stuff I’ve said personally, I have just seen all of this before. Clemson is currently trending deeply into late stage Mack territory.
We said Klubnik was a long strider who was wildly overrated from a system school. Sound familiar? We all knew it in this forum because we’d seen it.
They look slow? It’s because they are. They don’t have dynamic playmakers at WR or TB any more because Dabo decided he wanted more “character guys”. Sound familiar?
Their offense and defense look predictable. I wonder why? It couldn’t be due to a strict adherence to what Dabo believes is his Clemson “system” could it?
He still has time to fix the problems, but his issue is the same as Mack’s was. You’re effectively asking him to fix what he thinks got him there in the first place.
Name the Big 12 offenses that are a lot better? Kansas? Maybe. There isn’t another one on the schedule.
The defensive design for this game was to hang the secondary out to dry in order keep a functional front 7 facing Milroe. They knew that Bama connecting deep was going to cost them a score or two.
I doubt we see that defense again all season.
Speaking of Mack, he is in full blown bitch mode about his transfer not getting approved....And I have to say I love the NCAA's response:
"citing extenuating factors, such as mental health, does not necessarily support a waiver request but instead may, in some situations, suggest a student-athlete should be primarily focused on addressing those critical issues during the initial transition to a third school."
Mack if your so dam worried about the kid, keep him on scholarship and let him get his head straight.

Seems like not all of you have realized how top-to-bottom lightspeed stupid these fanbases are. The entire conference is just like aggies. They make shit up, repeat it amongst one another, and poof, it becomes truth.
So in other words, the football board.

I was gonna say Bobby, but couldn't find the funny pic of him to post....

Love this from ESPN:
"For the Aggies, the loss to Miami was so decisive that Bobby Petrino likely offered to interview for Jimbo Fisher's job on the plane ride home."
I am disappointed Jimbo hasn't pointed out how they beat Miami when he was calling plays.....

Oh yeah and I love the Aggie defense is problem but O looks good arguments....
You were gift wrapped 10 points and only managed to score 17 points in the 1st half. Then yall scored what 14 points the rest of the game? Seriously that doesn't sound like a dominant O.

That's some impressive about racing there:
Prior to Bama game:
-we don't have the lines to match Bama
-we'll find out what a truly hostile crowd is
-Not ready for the grind of the SEC west.
Today
-Bama isn't good
-SEC west is bad this year A&M still has a shot
-Bama's lines are jokes
-This is the worst Bama team of all time
-Bama game is a gimmie win

It is made up, but in this case it does have a definition- it’s when a player has a 5 star rating at each rating service. As opposed to only some of them or only the composite.
I thought that was a concensus 5 star?

Recruiting updates via IT. Things seem to be trending well with Baker, Lair, Black and McKinley.
Inside Texas take a closer look at a number of 2024 targets remaining in this cycle, with the latest from Kobe Black, DeAndre Carter, Dominick McKinley and more in Friday’s recruiting humidor.
Ryan Wingo, WR, St. Louis (MO) St. Louis University
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound On3 Industry Ranking five-star continues to have productive conversations with the Texas staff, notably Steve Sarkisian and Chris Jackson.
While Wingo has a December 20th commitment date, sources indicate this could be sooner rather than later.
Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas A&M are in the mix, with Georgia and Michigan hanging around the rim.
Missouri has some momentum here, and the Horns would love to counter that, as they’ll host Wingo on September 16th for the Wyoming game. Wingo is also currently scheduled to visit Tennessee September 30.
Brandon Baker, OL, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei
Texas continues to have at least a 50-50 shot at the five-star offensive tackle from the No. 1 ranked high school team in the country. The question is who will ultimately be that team in the final two when it comes decision time. The lean is Oregon slightly over Ohio State.
Nebraska will take the last trip, and best shot on September 16 with an official visit for the Cornhuskers game against Northern Illinois.
What does Texas have going for them? Christian Jones is a senior at right tackle, the parents really like Sarkisian and Kyle Flood, and may favor them. Texas is moving to the SEC, easier travel from California to Austin vs. Columbus, Flood’s resume and development, California kids are enjoying their time at Texas, mom’s side of family is related to the Akana’s.
DeAndre Carter, IOL, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei
The 6-foot-4, 340-pounder is scheduled to announce his decision on September 3. Auburn continues to be the favorite over Texas and Michigan State. He made June official visits to Auburn and Michigan State. The Tigers have pushed very hard to get this one done prior to the season getting going.
On the Texas side, the Horns believe they are right there in it, and have a legit shot. Of course, the visits tell a different story. Carter has been scheduled to make an official visit to Texas September 30.
Dominick McKinley, DL, Lafayette (La.) Acadiana
September 1st is getting closer. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound On3 Industry Ranking five-star is announcing his commitment at the beginning of next month. McKinley and family have taken the week off from recruiting. There has been zero communication with college coaches this week.
Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, LSU and Texas A&M are the contenders. The most confidence has been on the side of Texas and Ohio State in the last couple of weeks. The Oklahoma side believes Texas is the favorite.
Why could Texas win out? Academic and football combination is favorable with McKinley’s mom. Driving distance from home, with a family that will be watching 2026 DL Darryus McKinley play on Friday nights for two years, while trying to get to watch Dominick on Saturday’s. McKinley plans to major in engineering. There is a scheme fit. Bo Davis and Steve Sarkisian have done a very good job in this one from start to current.
Kobe Black, CB, Waco (Texas) Connally
Even though the On3 Industry Ranking five-star insists his recruitment will go into the 2023 season, sources close to the 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back maintain it probably won’t.
Black still has visits to LSU, Alabama, and Oregon on his mind, but Texas and Texas A&M have separated from the pack in this recruitment.
Texas feels good here, and for good reason. Duncanville (Texas) five-star EDGE Colin Simmons has already began working on the Cen-Tex product.
Joshua Lair, S/Star, Missouri City (Texas) Marshall
Lair will end up at Texas, if the Longhorns make a strong final push. Lair grew up a Texas fan of sorts, and has a strong relationship with Steve Sarkisian and Blake Gideon. Mom prefers close to home – Texas or Baylor. Washington is way too far for the family.
How can you have a 50-50 chance if there are 3 teams at the top.....

Seeing @closetojumping’s one man neg crusade on the last page was highly entertaining. Less sure about its efficacy, but the effort is appreciated.

Claiming we paid Simmons 5 million while talking about how he really wanted to come to LSU but his family made him go to Texas where he'll never be developed and they'll probably get him as a transfer sounds about like exactly what Aggie fans said about Bug Mountain.

LOL Simmons told OB right after the ceremony he still is taking an UOV to LSU for their week 2 game against Grambling. I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised but he could have at least waited a day or two to release that news.
Not ideal.....was hoping he'd lock things down after commiting.

Gerry and Bobby waivered. I promise. For good reason and we’re all good.
You would certainly know better than I.

Believe Gerry said he's an early enrollee
Fine hypothetical mechanics are he will start classes at some date in January 2024. NIL will begin at some point after. There's your hypothetical mechanics.

Noted! Was merely asking for the hypothetical mechanics of such things, and not for any specific details here.
Hypothetical mechanics are that Simmons will start classes in August of 24, sometime after that date NIL will begin. That's it.

I think you nailed everything except for the part where you said the texas writers never backed off. Nahlin said his percentage was too high. Ears to the ground said he had to put his ear back to the ground. It wasn't until about 48 hours that this thing started to break back toward us. Lots of times the "momentum is with such and such" is unmitigated bullshit but I don't think anyone in the Texas camp was as confident on August 1 as they were on June 26, for example.
Really glad we won this one. This program is in really great shape- and we owe a debt of gratitude to some people around here who rolled up their sleeves and made it happen, as well as some other guys like Bobby and the like.I never said Texas was confident. I said Colin knew how this was going to go. Now was it a foregone conclusion we weren't gonna step on our own dick ala Herman alienating people or something going sideways with NIL expectations? No.
As for waffling on bad news? Nahling never got antagonistic like he did with Gipson or Gibson or however you say his name. That's Nahling waffling. Roach? The guy is the very definition of deliberate and methodical. Currently though he might be a better bet then Fong though. Gerry and Bobby never waivered.
My point though was barring a Tom Herman esque screwup, Simmons knew where he was going long before last night.

Not sure I buy all the story about the decision making.
1) Do I believe he gave a silent in June? Yes. 3 weeks later we had Fong waffling on his LSU pick. He was reported to be recruiting for us. The 9.95ers were losing their mind about "good news".
2) Do I believe he gave LSU a silent? No. I believe he had a whale of a time on his visit. I believe Frank Wilson is a crafty vet of recruiting. I believe they got some really good vibes from the Simmons camp. But I don't believe he gave them a silent. I believe he was telling them what they wanted to hear but when he got back to Duncanville and came off that post visit high, reality set in. The number one reason I don't buy it? Texas 9.95ers never wavered. If he had silented to LSU one of them would have heard something. It would have gotten out.
1) NIL-Everyone knows it was a priority for him.
2) His brother and proximity to family. You could tell from the video how much his brother means to him.
3) Colin is smart. He knew how to drum up interest and he knows how to tell a narrative on his recruiting, but I fully believe this wasn't as in doubt for him as he makes it sound.
4) Brian Kelley is apparently the LSU version of Tom Herman.
Did he play the game for more NIL stuff? Sure. But that's just taking care of family and good business. It doesn't mean he actually was seriously going to LSU.
9.95ers have been falling all over themselves to say it was Texas without saying it was Texas for 24 hours. The Miami idiocy getting repeated over and over...heck the stupid article about his mom wanting Jason Taylor to coach her son when it started sounding to much like a forgone conclusion he was going to Texas was the most obvious smoke screen in history.
But this is just me reading all the tea leaves. I know absolutely jack squat....so who knows maybe he did decide last night. But it doesn't fit with how deliberate he has been about all this.

Are they really bitching about that? Almost every single recruit does a hat fake now, including the RB that committed to them 5 minutes before Simmons.
In all honesty no idea. But it's like 100% the reaction of the opposing fan base when they don't get picked.
-
live view at LSU bitching about how classless the hat thing was and that Simmons and Texas deserve each other for such classless behavior(note similar reaction would be occuring here if he picked them But he didn't!)

I just hope this doesn't have 20 minutes of video of him running over kids half his size in peewee football like a certain offensive lineman that went to Stanford...

Man if that Wiltfong tweet didn't scream he's going to Texas....the Nahlin one definitely does. That's about as reserved as Nahlin can be.....plus everyone falling all over themselves to say Miami is a player....
Kids coming to Texas but 9.95 is trying to keep the suspense for him.
