  1.  
    A grab bag of notes and developments that may have some impact on Texas recruiting:
     
    1)  Daylan McCutcheon just committed to FSU.  Seemed to be on the radar as a #3/#4 or backup WR candidate, so FYI.
    2) 5* WR Caleb Cunningham committed to Alabama today. Does that affect Kaliq Lockett, wrt Bama, his suposed #2 school?  If we think Lockett's okay w/ joining Ffrench in a Texas class, maybe he's okay with this WRT to Bama, but who knows.  (Yeah, yeah, Kaliq knows.)  Also, the timing of Cunningham's commitment was not known, as of a few days ago ... again, not sure if that indicates anything.
    Here's what the BAMA 247 guy said a few days ago, re: Lockett.
    "Quick Hitter: "Not a whole lot new" was what Bama247 was told when speaking with a source close to Lockett's recruitment on Thursday afternoon. Bama247 last reported before the Fourth of July holiday that the biggest storyline to follow in the five-star receiver's recruitment would be which school or schools would get a visit during the last week of July. The Crimson Tide still appears to be right in the thick of it along with Texas and his other finalists. Sources continue to feel like this is an Alabama-Texas battle down the stretch. It is worth noting that the Longhorns missed out on their top receiver and fellow in-state target Dakorien Moore to Oregon. One source also told Bama247 they wouldn't be surprised if Lockett got back to Tuscaloosa (Ala.) and Austin (Tx.) between the end of Dead Period (July 24) and before his decision."
    3)  Re: Jaime Ffrench, Scruggs (Horns 247) had said a few day ago that he thought Miami was actually his #2 school.
    Here's what the Miami 247 guy said re: Ffffffff. 
    "The Hurricanes are still involved with five-star Jaime Ffrench but this is a recruitment that's seen plenty of twists and turns. Miami will keep working but I do not believe that anything drastic has changed recently. This recruitment has been a rollercoaster ride of perceived leaders, so until Ffrench makes his decision I expect there will be plenty more to come out of his high-profile recruitment."
    4) Re: Madden Faraimo, Blair Angulo (247 West Coast guy) posted a note.  I'll just post the note separately, but the net is - it still suggests a commitment soon (pre-season) is still a possibility, but he again says good things about Texas. (" ...  opened my eyes during the official." " ... I loved everything.")
     
     

    As many others have said, the CliffsNotes on these updates you provide are appreciated.

  2. I saw Sublime with Rome this summer. I was drunk on a blanket at an outdoor venue. Rome Ramirez made some comment about the people in their 40s & 50s in the crowd. The early 20s kid setting right next to me booed. I looked at him and said, "These songs came out before you were born. Why are you here? Is there any artist from your lifetime that doesn't suck?" He had a sense of humor about things, which is good, because he could have knocked my old ass out if things got nasty. The moral of the story is this, I'll never get over the Oilers playoff collapse in Buffalo in 1993. All of the overpriced drinks at retro concerts in the world won't fix things. So, I'm alone. Always will be. I work a bit. I eat a lot of Chinese food. I listen to some podcasts. I'm just biding my time, occasionally shaving my back, waiting for the heart attack that puts me out of my misery. 

    Was this at the Toyota Music Factory in Dallas? I went to that one. Pretty good show.
  3. Just passing along and take this FWIW. Very second hand from a friend of Devon Campbell… but I work with someone who has a kid on the basketball team at Bowie. His son says that he feels like Devon would go to USC before OU but that Texas has always been the clear destination. Said Devon was MVP of their last basketball tournament in Cedar Hill. Said he’s a good kid and works harder than anybody else despite his notoriety.

    My dad took us to Pennington Field one time to see his coworkers kid play for Boyd in the state championship game. They played Mart, and Quan was lightning on that turf against those 2A white boys. I was convinced Texas landed the next Michael Vick

    Played against him in 2000 in the semifinals. We (Refugio) were up by 20 and comfy. Quan brought them back and won the game. It sucked. Then almost 10 years later I was in Iraq watching the ‘09 fiesta bowl against Ohio State and he did them the same way. Didn’t feel sorry for them but I could relate. Lol. His brother Quincy was also a very good player.

    You need to get your eyes checked then cause your way off base when it comes to my school loyalty. One of my daughters is still going to UT for grad school. I live30 miles from CS, no way I would join that cult 

    Nobody here is gonna pound your fist and tell you you’re awesome. Most people here are going to shit on your mother and call you a bitch when you show the slightest dip in testosterone levels. They’re also going to kick you the fuck out if you keep changing the topic of the thread. You gotta do the whole “sticks and stones” thing everybody learned in kindergarten and relax.

    Who else is considered an aggy lean besides Green, Taylor, and PJ?

     

    I think 247 has them leading for Dewberry out of the top 25, but that’s a cb from Perroni. I read something a few weeks ago, and I can’t remember which one of their recruiting guys said it, that said they would target a lot of out of state players like we did when Jimbo had his big first class and were able to nab some in-state guys that probably would’ve ended up in Austin. Doesn’t look like they will have a very good class in-state aside from Sylla. Anybody know anything about Harold Perkins?
