    At what point ($) does a player not pay attention to a money amount and just say, “fuck it….I’m going to Texas”, even if they don’t get paid as much as another school offered?   Even if they don’t get the up-front $$$, what’s the premium that being at Texas gives them, in the long run, potentially?  Hope that makes sense.

    Saban got a “Saban discount” for players going to Alabama for years. We don’t have the track record to sell that yet…but we’re pretty close. Put double digits into the draft again this season and that is a sales pitch. That being said that might be a hell of a task this year. 
     

    Muhammad, taffe, Hill, goosby, the transfer TE, who else?

    They want you to not care we’ve gone 0-fer for 8/9 quality ones we were supposedly 50/50 with and got the big 0. I already see the “overreaction” take and it’s funny, if it was 1/8, 2/8 sure great but some nice ones gone. 0-fer. Now Sydney has to think of his way to save face while taking credit. 

    Are you under the impression I’m a 995er? Or have made predictions on any of these recruits landing at Texas? 
     

    feel free to quote all the posts where I predicted any of these specific recruits to Texas. I’ll wait. Before I ask my own questions.

    I’m sympathetic to everyone who’s upset about the recent recruiting losses. Does suck to get repeatedly kicked in the nuts. But at least wait until August before you get worked up about this shit.

    and yeah, it’s kind of annoying that OTF got us excited about these recruitments that we would have otherwise assumed we’re going somewhere else. But those guys also never promised us that we were going to win them. They just said that we were in them, or that we had a good shot. that could’ve very well been true at the time they said it. I don’t pay anyone $9.95 but if I did, that’s the kind of information I would expect them to pass along.

    Most of us realized last year that summer-whiffing was nothing to worry about, because the same thing happened the year before, when we had a great class. Same goes for this year, but with even less to worry about, since we went number one. But there also seemed to be an extra amount of "hi's" and winks and hints this year, when hardly any of them have panned out. So they deserve some shit for stirring it up, for clicks and subs.

    Avatar fight!

    Emmitt Smith, from Escambia HS in Pensacola,Florida, was highlighted in Parade Magazine. I still remember reading his mini-profile in the Faces in the Crowd section for his HS career. We lived at Eglin AFB when I was younger. Pensacola was the nearest big town.

    Not sure if they even had ratings back then, but he wouldn't have been a 3*.

    Hey grandpa, would you like a nice Werther’s and a soak in the walk-in tub?

    lol. This will be sure to catapult them back to the top. As if playing for Mike Norvell didn’t have them beating away blue chips with a cane to begin with…save some pussy for the rest of us, FSU.

    such a classic insecure little man proviso that I’m shocked aTm didn’t do it first…except now that I type that I vaguely remember them trying to use similar language in early contracts and getting g laughed at by everyone..

    For OOS recruits, us, Ohio State, and Georgia are the big three for seeing if they're a serious bluechip. And if tOSU or UGA offer a kid in Texas, I'd hope we're looking closely at them.

    Just using this quote as a reminder about the 5 star GA edge that aTm just got to commit who Georgia couldnt even bother to offer…
