  1. He may just do that, I'm not sure. His dad played at Baylor. That said, he's probably visited TT maybe 5 times, twice after his UT commitment. I'm still not thoroughly convinced that the QB as important to him as many here suggest. One, I've heard him say that and two, BU has a really good QB already committed. He was Ga.'s first pick (and Kliff's too for that matter). At TT he's got 3 years to sit behind Bowman. There's also Duffey and McIvor. So could be BU, who knows? Not entirely sure what what this means, if anything. From TT commit and high school teammate Landon Peterson. "You know the move". https://mobile.twitter.com/petersonlandon5/status/1073378926523748352?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1073378926523748352&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftexastech.forums.rivals.com%2Fthreads%2Fpeyton-powell.117541%2F
  2. Additionally, potentially a million dollars more per year in incentives.
  3. Fwiw, would have agreed, but happened to hear today from a prominent resident of Wellington who frequently talks with Trevor Roberson and he allowed as how OU, Ark, Bama, LSU as well as others are all still "trying real hard" with TR. There's a coach on the Wellington staff that went to high school with Wells.
  4. Not an absurd stereotype, but virtually everyone would agree it's an inexact science to be sure. That really doesn't matter though as you're really over thinking this. My original point was there are multiple coaches who have demonstrated it's clearly possible to recruit to Lubbock. Even cited examples. The football program has had six years of being headed by an awful recruiter, then faced with a coaching change only days before the early signing period. And you want to blame their less than stellar ranking purely on location? If it was purely location, it would be across the board and Beard, Tadlock, Kittley, etc. woudn't be able to recruit either. You're trying way too hard.
  5. Not likely now. He had been committed to TT for quite a while before Kliff's departure. Visited Ark and Missouri the last 2 weeks. Came down to Ark and TT. Fwiw, Rivals has Ark's class at number 11 nationally.
  6. Pretty nice get this afternoon for Tech's Wells. OT Trevor Roberson announces for Tech. Huge kid whose profile shows offers from Ga, ND, USC, A&M, Oregon, TCU, etc. Never had publically announced his decommitment but was entirely butt hurt over KK's firing and had taken visits the last two weeks. Many assumed he was gone.
  7. Utter nonsense. When it comes to college baseball, virtually everyone in the entire country, including UT, does it primarily with white guys. And have you seen the TT basketball team play a game? Most certainly there are nuances that differ in recruiting varying sports. In the final analysis though, they're the same--you've got to get them to go to your school as opposed to another. Got any more absurd stereotypes? It's fun playing make believe.
  8. Not to nitpick, but Mahomes was actually taken 10th in first round.
  9. Not a good night for Wells, The Shenault decommitment was no surprise as he's got a decent number of options. I had expected Shenault to do so even before KK left. Brother goes to Col, he had visited and they were pushing hard. Other schools are in the mix as well. Appears Steven Parker could end up at KU of all places. Miles announced today the hiring of recently departed TT WR coach, Emmett Jones. Parker has had a very lengthy relationship with Jones as have many of the Dallas inner city kids. They're tight. Parker at this point still supposed to visit TT this week end.
  10. Agree, KK was an absolutely awful recruiter. Also agree the lower ranked guys can be replaced fairly easily. While as you suggest a goodly number of the year's class didn't have offers from the big boys, quite a few did have offers from comparable, at times even better programs (a notch above the KU's of the world) which at this late date aren't always easy to replace. Don't recall 247, but Rivals had the class ranked something like 35th or so before KK's departure--not bad by Kliff standards. That's by and large what I was alluding to when suggesting he had done a pretty good job. Keeping those types. Had 19 commits, all but a kicker and 2 guys they offered early on at least 3 stars.
  11. Here's a piece on the the no look from his college days. Shows him working on it and doing it at practice. Didn't look at the tweets though. Could be game footage there, https://www.everythinglubbock.com/sports/red-raider-nation/mahomes-no-look-passes-at-practice-turning-heads/423671274
  12. I wanted Kliff fired, but was not particularly fond of the Wells hire. Fact is, I initially hated it. Have to say though, this far he's done a really nice job with this class under trying circumstances. This week end could be pretty interesting as well.
  13. McIvor cancelled last week's visit to USC. Btw, McIvor had his USC offer long before Kliff was linked to USC.
  14. Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong when it comes to recruiting, but I'd most likely be willing to bet a substantial sum of money on a recommit to TT. Kind of funny, even his own grandmother announced it yesterday. Might be official soon. OV to TT this week end after multiple unofficials.
  15. There's been some discussion off and on from UT sources about interest in Steven Parker. If we believe close family members, Maverick McIvor is a done deal to Tech. Cancelled his USC visit last week end. Keeyon Stuart forecast to re commit soon as well.
  16. Saw every one of his games in college. Saw the no look more than once. As good as it is, the one above is probably the least impressive one I've seen. He's done several that were even more extreme look one way, throw another. The guy's quite a piece of work.
  17. Wesley named All-America today by the Football Writers Association of America. That and declaring for the draft isn't too bad a day. Highest projection I've seen is 2nd round.
  18. The guy is something else. The very rare example of an actual secret commit. Committed way back to the old staff but never wanted to announce for some reason I guess he was feeling frisky today.
  19. Hogan--as Machinator mentioned, he recommitted Steven Parker-- visited TCU this past week end, seeing TT coaches Wed., visiting TT this week end Maverick McIvor--recommitted, will visit TT this week end Keeyon Stewart--widely expected to recommit, hasn't done so yet Markel Reed-- jury still out Brandon Joseph-- jury still out Trevor Roberson-- described as 50/50 after reports of Ark & Missouri visits the last 2 week ends. Ark source fwiw says he's staying. Gilbert Ibeneme-- the fairly highly recruited DE reaffirmed commitment Some informal reports of a couple of new commits as well, one a flip from another Big 12 school (not Powell). We'll see.
  20. I fully realize TT's place in college football's recruiting pecking order, but when it comes WRs they're fairly competitive. Since the 2015 class, they've signed wideouts with offers from A&M, Wisconsin, Ohio State, OU, LSU, UT, UCLA and some others that do a pretty good job recruiting.
  21. The path to QB playing time at Tech is no easier at TT than UT. They've got Cater, Duffy, true freshman Bowman, and will have Maverick McIvor as well. No doubt UT has good WRs but most any year TT's is every bit their match. TT has even put more in the NFL as late. I wouldn't look for Powell to visit TT . He's already done so at least 3 times that I recall, a couple of times after his UT commitment. TT has gotten six commitments in the last 2 or 3 days, though it's not entirely clear who all of them are, though one is widely believed to be Powell's hs teammate. My guess is the majority are guys who decommitted upon KK's departure but who knows for sure?
  22. May be, may very well be, as I don't read it regularly. Let me preface this though with the fact I'm certainly nobody special when it comes to sources and inside info, but I do happen in this case to be aware of the source of OB's info here. Very credible.
  23. I can certainly respect that you think Powell should go to UT. But these couple of lines from Orangebloods earlier this week kind of generated this entire discussion. From Orangebloods: "ATH Peyton Powell of Odessa Permian will be taking an official visit to Baylor this weekend.He's also said he will be talking to the new Texas Tech staff soon." But come on man, there's several fairly good reasons he might consider TT without being a lesser person including friend and teammate committed there, very close to home, new OC Yost comes highly regarded, numerous WRs in the NFL as of late, QB success as well if he goes that route, sister attending TT, 3 more years of Bowman then McIvor, influence of high school coaches, etc. i don't pretend for a second to know what PP is going to do, but he's been consistent with his TT interest. Not sure about Baylor, but he's visited TT at least twice since his UT commitment and several times prior. Fact of the matter is though he committed to UT over others. That's the biggest hint of all. Chill.
