    Weigman is good, potentially really good but that bump doesn't make much sense. To make him the #1 dt QB over Simpson doesn't really jibe with Simpson's offer list and how hard schools like Clemson and Alabama are pushing compared to the interest that Weigman was receiving. 

    Hell, even Jimbo didn't push for Weigman to commit until he was pretty certain he was out of it for Simpson. 

    Let’s see how this looks in 3 months of the HS baseball circuit....

    And I’m about to watch your facial expressions because not only is the replay here to stay, we’ll have an electronic strike zone within two years. The umpire behind home plate will be called by a machine. There’ll be a home plate umpire, he’ll have a piece in his ear, so just in case the ball bounces through the strike zone and the machine calls that a strike, he can overrule that. The electronic strike zone is coming, it’s pretty hard to argue that the technology doesn’t exist to do that. They’re within millimeters now of, uh, every pitch, heck they know the spin rate on every pitch that’s thrown. And everybody’s analyzing the data on all of that. So it’s there, it exists, and they’re going to use it. We just have to get better at the replays, when we have a replay it’s gotta be done quickly and move on. There can’t be a two minute stop of the action

    This dude is a douchebag, but this part is going to be a huge deal if true

    I think it is just obvious that Wiltfong doesn’t know what in the fuck the staff at Texas is thinking. He has no clue about their big board, so anything he’s declaring about who has spots and such is pure bullshit. 

    He’s allegedly got a relationship with Glasscock, so I guess we’ll see where it goes. 

    I hate to say it, but I actually prefer this to the alternative. Maybe it blunts the overall Elko-ness of Fong's slants on state recruiting targets and predictions.

     

    Like anything else, you got to have a media "in" nowadays to get the spin going the way you want. Having a guy that is strongly tied to Fong can't hurt. And as an added bonus I would love to see the normal scoops about things tied to the program leak through a national guy than to have to use one of these fuckheads that are our local guys as the outlet.

    If Gideon turns out to be a good to plus recruiter this staff is really going to take off 

    I hope he wants to stay at the the 40 forever, but if his recruiting is as advertised, combined with his ST work and potential as a DB/S coach, he is going to be a guy that other schools take notice of in a hurry.

     

    He might be the guy 5 years from now that we are going to be dying to find a way to keep as a Co-DC or some other title.

  5. So is there any info out there now post SD2 about how many open spots are left vs the number of guys still in the portal. 
     

    We keep hearing doomsday scenarios about the possibility of kids getting left with no landing spots, but so far I haven’t seen any hard data since the last signing day...

    So Harris is moving to QBs and taking on an expanded title of Director of Recruiting - but really that role is all but going away and leaving Drayton back to his own devices. 

     

    That sound you hear is the sound of the "set up the program like Bama" bullshit dying a wheezing death with each successive decision/hire/move by this staff. 

    You got to have a director of recruiting first, then go grab another asst RB coach that is big on recruiting and go from there. 
     

    All this moves shows is that there is a viable progression at the asst to the position coach role. 
     

    The recruiting coordinator role plus the previous RB role behind Drayton will just set up Harris to be a standard rainmaker RB coach in the future.
