  1. Looks like 5-star DT Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy's dad and mom are moving to College Station for a new job at a local church. I wonder if their kid moves as well. He already has visited BCS once I think or was planning to visit... well, now he can visit the campus every day if he wishes!

    OU is supposedly the main competition for his signature... so I'm sure you guys here will appreciate it if he doesn't go there and A&M is able to vulture one away that you won't have to face in the trenches the next few years.

  2. Malick Sylla and Derrick Brown are both tagged as "edge" by 247. Not ideal to lose Brown, but glad to still have Sylla. So that leaves A&M hoping to get in on Wesolak (Notre Dame seems to be the main threat there although he seems pretty undecided with several big names in the race still, all across the U.S.), and an outside shot with Enai White... White has announced he is coming to A&M for an unofficial, and has 4 officials lined up with a 5th one open... 

    Thankfully, DE is one spot A&M has several young faces on campus already, and hopefully one or two of those pan out.  Missing out on Denver Harris (and Terrance Brooks) hurts the most among all the position recruiting battles.

    :D

    you're sharp and don't miss a move!

    honestly though, I'm chalking up 3-stars Donovan Wilson and Justin Evans making it into the NFL as draft picks up to Terry Joseph's abilities. Of course, he also recruited and signed guys like Clifford Chattman.

  4. it just means we're getting Denver Harris. ;):D

    on a more serious note, i'm not sure why A&M passed on him especially if he wanted in... he's rated 16th best corner, has good measurables. Especially if he can play corner and not safety, A&M should have been happy to have him. anybody know what's the story? grade risk? or just a bad job of managing the CB board on the part of aggie recruiters?

    If you don't land Ish Harris, the rare recruit enthusiastic about a career in agriculture, your LB coach should go have a long think about his career choices.

    the current LB coach seems like a lightweight, tbh. not sure what he brings to the table. he doesn't seem like a recruiter, hopefully he is a better teacher. if Hansford can get into NFL next year i guess i'd say the guy can coach.

    Well, you're going to get a kick out of this, but whichever IT mod was in charge of writing that blurb fucked up. The dad has a masters from Samford, not Stanford.

    To make matters even more intriguing, apparently Samford's original name upon founding was Howard. Not to be confused with Harvard.  Nor with the separate university called Howard, which is in D.C.

    so a PBS reporter is now a standard for who is a liberal?! lol what the heck is even that? Besides, anybody can shitpost on twitter in any given context. Meanwhile, you refuse to hear him talk about his liberal values that he talks on for a long time. Got it.

    You keep substituting CRT, when I am talking about things that aren't CRT.  DEI is not CRT.

    May be I have it wrong, and am open to correction. My understanding is that DEI is basically one of the tools to implement CRT. DEI almost always starts with the assumption that a place is racist and therefore needs a DEI intervention, which is a CRT assertion.

    yea, so? Listen to his explanation of why he voted for Trump. He discusses it in detail with Glenn Loury in the interview I posted above. In fact, that makes it clear that he is a liberal and certainly NOT a right winger! lol

    His problem is with the liberals going hard Left. Believe it or not, that isn't just problematic for right wingers.

    "Affirmative Action" commenced before Critical Race Theory had even a name.

    I am a little queasy about de jure discrimination to obtain "racial equality" as a concept.

    I am not troubled by institutional and other efforts to recognize that black folks and other minorities have been operating at a significant disadvantage in this country for more than a century and to attempt to give them a hand up.

    Okay, so wouldn't it be better to provide underrepresented minorities with more educational support early on? Universal pre-K and other similar efforts seem to be interesting, I want to see how they get implemented and whether they make a difference. 

    It would be far better to give that hand up. But CRT seems to be more interested in a hand out.  Rise up underachievers instead of removing the hurdle altogether and making everyone worse off. That's what's happening in magnet schools in Boston, D.C., San Fran and likely many other cities right now-- getting rid of entrance tests because too many Asians and whites get into it and not enough "underrepresented minorities".

    What the fuck are you talking about? The central thesis of CRT is that the law treats races differently by the color of their skin, and seeks to examine the relationship between race and law

    that may be CRT's thesis, sure. But that isn't really true. If it were true, then Nigerian American immigrants would be facing far higher rates of wrongful convictions than they do; anecdotally I would think they face far less issues with law than the average American.  Then again, Nigerian Americans likely have intact family structures and many other reasons why they don't run afoul of law and order.  America would do better to see how that works instead of getting on the CRT bandwagon.

    Also "critical" as a modifier to any academic discipline basically means "so theoretical as to not be taken seriously, or very seriously."

    Currently, the modus agendi of the right wing is to label anything that is race-conscious at all critical race theory.

    Then, by the same token, the left wing wants to ascribe any differences in outcomes to a reductionist approach-- if they're pushing CRT, then they ascribe any and all difference in outcomes to racism.  And that's simply untrue. 

    Besides, if CRT is so esoteric as to be left to some scholarship closet, then why is UT (and A&M) hosting DEI committees and literally laying out policies that aim to hire and promote people at least partly based on race and other listed special interests? It's not just about being "race conscious" but rather it's about divisions based on race.

    It's to the point that sometimes one can't even differentiate between Wokes and Racists anymore:

    See, this is a perfect example.  Instead of being curious as to why "cash bail" was proposed as an example of systemic racism, you reduce it to the barest possible argument.  You have no interest in learning, you are simply trying to bait others into what amounts to a giant waste of words.

    Are you under the impression that anybody is being fooled?

    That's not true. I want to understand what is so racist in how bail works in year 2021? SOmeone else posted a link to a wiki about systemic racism in America; I at least skimmed through it and found it interesting and will read more, although am familiar with most of the points made in it (most of them are historic in nature and not how things are at present).

    *Affect

    I'd say post-modern is accurate.  And,yes, taken to extremes, it virtually eliminates any responsibility for self-determination.

    But it also contains nuggets of main truth, the largest being that black folk have gotten a shit deal in this country, and many others, but particularly so here due to slavery and Jim Crow.  Some of that is over with, and some isn't.

    This I can work with.

    My response is that how do we get America to be better? Do we continue with the liberal democracy ideas of the constitution? Or do we chuck it all and replace it with what seems to be a divisive ideology at its core. I quoted from Delgado's book on CRT, in the into itself it notes that given enough power, CRT's goal is to uproot the Western liberalism, the objectivity of science, and to get rid of constitutional justice. That seems to read more like a Marxist utopian revolution, and we ought to know better from history than to allow the idea to grow.
