    Brewers just took Hamilton in the 8th.

    Not a good development for Texas. Teams don't waste picks in the top 10 rounds. David Pierce was confident once season ended Hamilton would be back, but Brewers seem to think otherwise. We'll see
    how it plays out.

    After 10 rounds of #MLBDraft, Brett Baty is the only #HookEm signee selected, as expected, which is good for Texas. Blair Henley picked in 7th round by #Astros. Big blow: David Hamilton picked in 8th round by #Brewers. I expect him to sign. Milwaukee has extra $ to use

    We still have Reagan. That gives us a little bit of hope.

    Sarcasm??

    If not.... Fyi Reagan just entered the portal....

    #HookEm infielder Bryce Reagan now listed in NCAA Transfer Portal. More:  Jack Neely, and Nico O’Donnell also entered; Neely is transferring to San Jacinto

    -Mentioned this earlier, but Lindberg has a ticking clock. Big, guard-ish, and soft isn't ideal anyway, but there's a bragging rights element and so forth. I don't think Texas wants to see him elsewhere, but they might not be waiting around for bullshit past the next month or so. SLC guy is apparently a pure tackle prospect. Some of you dorky OL enthusiasts can fact check that take.

     

    So Lindenberg.......

    Source #2: I know Jeff Blake has worked with him and thinks he has the mind/understanding he's just never been taught much. They should get Blake to work with him. He's only 8-10 miles from campus. He should work with Sam on his deep ball and Roschon on mechanics too.  Interesting thought. Nobody ever threw a better deep ball than Blake. 

     

    Here's a QB coach I'd like a session with... 😀

    I've said it before and will again, Pierce is not developing the players.  He just cycles through players looking for someone to get hot.  That makes it very tough on the players to both develop and be consistent in games.  Players like Neely and Reagan are who we need to stick around and have breakout seasons in their 2nd or 3rd year.  That can't happen when you run them off.

    After such a horrible finish to the 2019 season, not sure that Pierce has the luxury in Yr4 to retain many players that showed little improvement during the 2019 season. The roster needs a shake up to hopefully put some fire back on the team.  Pierce has to roll the dice this year and immediately flip a decent part of his current roster,  betting that by adding some new players it creates better success for the Horns in 2020.

    Otherwise, Pierce may not get to keep his job at Texas after the 2020 season.

    I like it overall.  The one I feel like I must be missing something on is Lindberg, though. I know he’s been a target of ours forever, has high rankings on all the services, and some big schools after him.  But when I watch his film, he looks stiff when he moves.  And while he’s big, he looks more like he’s just carrying a lot of weight rather than being some kind of natural giant like Leonard Davis or DJ Fluker.  He has the requisite clips of him mauling 200 lb high school players when he gets his hands on them, but honestly, if I didn’t know his ranking I would assume he’s a Baylor/Tech/Okie State level recruit.

    If Finkel is Einhorn.... hope Lindberg isn't Hindenburg

    I thought Reagan had potential (especially at the plate) and looked forward to him developing. Of course, I’m still waiting on Ryan Reynolds and Austin Todd to “develop”, so what do I know. Sure hope this means Hamilton is coming back. 

    A healthy Hamilton at SS would be great.... also would like to see Pierce bring in a quality defender at 1st base.  Wouldn't mind if Todd, Reynolds or Ellis were able to somehow get MLB contracts and move on.  Pierce needs to quickly get more offense on his roster and bring in more of his kinda guys that are bought in... otherwise 2020 might be his final season coaching the Longhorns.

    (Hopefully there have been no extensions to Pierce's original contract....  In June 2016, Pierce received a  "6-year, $4.75 million contract" paying him " a minimum annual base salary of about $792,000 for the next six years".... per AAS)

    Rivals is updating it's rankings this week if anybody wants to keep track of it this week.  Released top 10 today.  Be interesting to see if guys like Collins and Crawford make jumps.  Maybe Hullaby enters the top 90 in-state.  They also have JQJ the lowest by far of the 3 services.

    Should there be a limit on the number of transfers schools may take each year??

    Just seems like free agency with no salary cap in women's softball... 

    16-3  Final.... Ucla pummels blOU

     

    Any thoughts on limiting # of transfers to one school per year??

    (Maybe only 4 per year and no more than 6 in any two year period?)

      Texas is going to land one of them soon. Texas has also effectively stopped recruiting George. It's recruiting, shit changes, take it FWIW, fuck off if you don't like the message, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Kiss his ass, Kiss my ass, Happy Hannukah, etc.

    Yep. Hand, Beck, Washington. After that, there’s a decent gap. Naivar’s not bad but it took Washington taking over Sterns’ recruitment to get him to flip.  after that, all the other position coaches on staff are below average recruiters for a major program.

    Right there with yah.  While some Surly folks in the know give Beck credit for recruiting success,  I've read a few recent posts still wanting Tim gone.  Just wanted to reinforce how much Beck has helped with recruiting -- his Zona connections sure help!!

    Of the final 16 teams:

    Loses a lot: OU, UCLA (if Garcia goes to the Olympics and takes 2020 off), FSU, Ok State, Tennessee
    Loses some but still a good core: Washington, Arizona, LSU, Kentucky, Michigan, Northwestern
    Loses a little but returns most of the roster: Alabama, Texas, Minnesota, Ole Miss

    Yeah, it's really tough to diss OU considering their history but they graduate 6 seniors including: Aviu, Clifton, Knighten and Romero.  It's really hard to replace that production.  But no fear, I'm sure Patty Gasso will somehow pick up 8,000 high profile transfers

    ESPN article on this California camp.... quotes Sam

    http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26838032/going-camping-tua-trevor-nation-top-qbs

    "This time where we're all out here is probably the best time of the year for everybody because there's no stress," Texas QB Sam Ehlinger said. "We get to come out to one of the most beautiful places in the world and just relax, get cool stuff, hang out with little kids and give back to the community.

    "You play the game of football to have fun and form relationships like this, so when you get to go out and hang out with all these guys from around the country and have fun, it's what it's all about."

     

  15. Fyi.... US media reportedly would not touch this story

    "Sealed FBI audio tapes allege Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs with 40 women and watched while a friend raped a woman, a report claims"

    By:  Bill Bostock.       May 28, 2019, 9:23 AM

    • FBI documents from the 1960s allege Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs with 40 women and stood by as a friend raped a woman, a new report said.
    • An article by the King biographer David Garrow set to be released on Thursday in Standpoint magazine will detail the FBI memos, London's The Times reported.
    • Garrow said the memos say King engaged in orgies, solicited prostitutes, and "looked on and laughed" as a pastor he knew raped a woman.
    • The memos were part of a huge US National Archives data dump in early 2019.
    • The FBI secretly recorded King in a yearslong effort to discredit him. The tapes themselves remain under seal in the US National Archives. And Garrow's article was rejected by more prominent news outlets. So the story carries many unanswered questions about the accuracy of the FBI material.
    • The King Center, which chronicles King's life, declined to comment on the allegations.

    This article contains details that some readers may find upsetting.

    Buckeyes add elite receiver Fleming for 2020

    May 31, 2019

    Tom VanHaarenESPN Staff Writer

    Wide receiver Julian Fleming, the No. 4-ranked recruit overall, has committed to Ohio State. Fleming, the top receiver in the 2020 class, chose the Buckeyes over Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and Penn State and is the second five-star to commit to Ohio State in this cycle.

    "For a while, I thought I was going to Penn State, then for a while I thought I was going to Clemson, and then I just finally settled down and figured it out," Fleming said. "It was just the at-home feeling and their players. [Ohio State] puts their players first and all my visits there, I had countless hours with all the players, so I really got the college vibe right away." His recruitment has gone back and forth, and for quite some time many believed that he would add to Clemson's impressive recruiting class. So much so that Fleming was recruited by the current Clemson commits and had to break the news to his peers that he wouldn't be joining them in college.

    "I'm not going to lie, I'm still in their group chat," Fleming said. "They were all recruiting me really hard, but they understood and respected my decision, and once I told them I wasn't going to Clemson, they all said good luck. I talk to D.J. [Uiagalelei] all the time, and he's one of those kind-hearted people that was just like, 'You're going to do it wherever you go,' so that was a cool thing.". Fleming, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound wide receiver from Southern Columbia Area High School in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, joins five-star offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. in the class. Remarkably, Ohio State has landed at least one five-star commit in each of its classes going back to 2012.  This is the sixth five-star commit for the Buckeyes going back to the 2017 class, and Fleming is now adding another elite-level receiver to the future offense.

    Ryan Day and his staff signed Garrett Wilson, the No. 2-ranked receiver; Ronnie Hickman, the No. 9 receiver; and Jameson Williams, the No. 15 wideout, in the 2019 class and now have the top-ranked receiver in 2020. Add that to the product already on the field and the success Ohio State saw on offense and Fleming is excited about joining and seeing success himself.  "Ohio State's offense was clicking last year; it was definitely a big influence," Fleming said. "They were like No. 1 in passing all year. They have Justin Fieldscoming in now, and they have some people that are going to be there for a little while.

    Julian Fleming chose Ohio State in part because of its off-the-field programs. (Courtesy 3 Step Sports).  

    Outside of the offense, Fleming was heavily influenced by the off-field programs Ohio State has set up for its players and the amount of focus in helping them after football.  The Buckeyes' art director, designer and brander, Samuel Silverman, developed a program called Brand U that takes players step-by-step through a branding exercise and helps them develop their own personal brand. The program can last all four years the player is on campus and has even bled over into players' time after college in whatever field they choose.  "The Brand U thing was really cool, and I like their real-life Wednesdays where they have speakers come in weekly," Fleming said. "Also, their internship program, they have one of the widest ones being able to send their players worldwide. Just to be able to get opportunities outside of football, so those are two things that stood out to me outside of football."

    The Buckeyes help their players off the field, but they are helping themselves on the field by adding Fleming to this class. The commitment gives Ohio State seven ESPN 300 commitments and four prospects ranked in the top three of their position.  Fleming is a prospect who could come in and play right away, but although he is hoping that's the outcome, he is willing to wait his turn and work for an opportunity.  "I'm definitely going to try right away because they'll only have a couple solidified spots," Fleming said. "They lost three receivers this year; they'll probably lose one or two next year. I'm hoping to go make an immediate impact, that's always the goal, but if anything [else] happens, I'm just going to try to work my way up."
