    They have no idea. Just collective bitching about the Oyetade non-offer. 

    All the bitching about Oyetade would make sense if we were some kind of outlier in not offering, but most teams have passed. His 247 shows 6 P5 offers the best of which is probably Az St or Virginia.

     

    I haven’t personally watched his Hudl, but seems to be some star-gazing after 247 gave him a large bump.

    Hilariously they took scrub big bro to get this kid and (per the twitters) he just got a basketball offer from Baylor.

    Even as someone who loves football, I’d have to look hard at playing basketball in college instead if I got the chance. Even if you think you don’t have NBA potential, there’s an established precedent of CBB > NFL for TEs.

    People act like Texas is unwilling to make changes. They've been renaming buildings and tearing down statues for years. More needs to be done but the idea they aren't willing to make changes is simply incorrect. Then go look at Hartzell's history in the business school. 

    When students were vocal about Simkins they made changes. When students were vocal about the confederate statues they made changes. When students were vocal about the Jefferson Davis statue they made changes. Where are all these "empty promises"? And I'll be the first to criticize Texas if changes aren't made in reference to the players demands. 

     

     

    They need to work to help these guys understand this. This is an ongoing process and there is a precedent in place so while it might taken longer than any of us like, it’s the proper way to go about things. Instead it sounds like they told the players “yeah, yeah, we’re working on it. Now get back to practice.” I can understand their skepticism.

    Davis to Auburn, he did pull an Erick Young. What an obnoxious move.

     

    Lol well yeah, his top 3 were 2 schools that wouldn’t take his commitment and the school he just decommitted from so don’t think anyone is too surprised. 

  5. Kid shows some really nice hands and a willingness to play with some physicality blocking - though its impossible to tell if he plays with that temperament all the time, which is a hell of a lot more important than being able to do it once in a while.

     

    Of all the years this is probably the one where the “rankings don’t matter” stuff is true (I think we all know these services rely too much on camps). That said, that offer list doesn’t inspire much confidence. Looking back at some of Coleman’s recruits at K state, he didn’t show some innate ability to uncover hidden gems.. he did get NFL guys in Byron Pringle (twice actually, once while at Youngstown St then again after he went JUCO) and Dalton Schoen, but he was a walk on.

    Don’t mean this as an indictment of Casey, but what I really don’t get is our staff’s insistence on signing big, slow receivers when rule changes in recent years clearly favor faster, quicker guys as less physicality is allowed. Having one of those guys is fine but we seem to sign at least one a class while lacking many speed guys on the outside.

    Looks like about 75% of the top 25 type programs all started following him after his LSU offer. He's about to blow up. I'd get on him as Ibraheem/Harmon insurance. 

    Putting on my satya hat real quick - why the fuck is LSU uncovering diamonds in the rough in our hone state, especially at a position that’s very weak compared to years past??

    Cupp plus Wyder is was about as good of a TE class as I’ve seen, and Jimbo’s offense uses two way TEs better than perhaps any offense in college, at least up there with ND and Stanford 

    Crownover and the katy kid are a far cry from that class 

    What’s the prognosis on Cupp? Back 100% after the leg injury?

  8. It’s hilarious that they’re bitching about this as it relates to Bru when they went down the exact same way - LOI at different school, then enrolled somewhere else.

    Also why are these dorks still so frothy about Bru? We totally ended up being the butt of that joke, they should be delighted by the way his saga happened.

  9. I’m really excited to see what Washington can do - think he’s gonna be a stud. Honestly if Black coming here takes away from either of him or Eagles playing not sure I love the move. If he can beat those guys out on merit that probably bodes well for us, hopefully this staff is better at making that call than years past (see: Epps, Malcolm).

    Speaking of Princely, some chatter on 247 ( via OB ) is saying he's trying to get out of his NLI from Florida.

    Where would this clown go that he hasn’t burned a bridge? TCU or Baylor (new staff) maybe?

    Deshon Elliott said OSU and LSU develop talent well. A fan replied that UT does too. Elliott responded with a cap which means lie.

    Lol - Maybe if the dude didn’t jump to the NFL after one solid year he would’ve been a bit more polished coming out. 
     

    Also had all of 6 tackles through 6 games last year so doesn’t look like NFL is developing him real well either.

    A little too early in the game to get too excited, but I believe we just flipped a Bama DB recruit. Is this real life?

    Kid is mega-douche. He’ll make a perfect Sooner. 
     

    Some posters on here were suggesting he’d get processed by Bama, but think that was more conjecture than anything concrete. Think I read he had an injury last year.

    What playing time did his brother merit over RoJo?

    What he earned for averaging more yards per rush and catch?

    Dont get me wrong, I love Rojo - probably my favorite player on last years team alongside Dev - but both backs had games where they looked good and others where they looked like shit. Weirdly it seemed like they alternated games.

    The real question should be what did Sam do to warrant leading the team in carries?

    LSU grad...honestly don’t give a fuck. all i know is that they’re driving you like a rented mule at football, basketball, baseball, women’s basketball, softball and volleyball.

    ponder that...

     

    Lol - what? 
     

    They went 1-11 two years ago in football, 6-6 (I think?) last year. We’re 4-1 against them the last 5 years. 

    Basically, your stance is akin to an Aggie claiming they run LSU after last years game. Yeah, stupid.

    I, personally, dgaf about the other sports but recall us winning a volleyball NC recently (since its on your list) and don’t remember Baylor doing anything of substance in any of the men’s sports you listed.

    Weird hill to die on for an LSU guy.
