  1. Almost every USC site has conceded Bijan to Texas "for now". I can't remember the last time a recruitment this high profile was that covert to where every recruiting site whiffed. I think you're reading into it too much. We'll know either way by 2 PM.
  2. Yup. Tape is the first point of contact for any staff if the kid didn't come to a camp for that school prior, and its invaluable. Most football staffs have access to entire game tape for every played snap for kids as well, not just what the kid puts on a public Hudl, so they get to see the fuck ups as well.
  3. 2 pm central according to his Instagram.
  4. I forget who it was, but one of Mack's guys once he made it to the NFL or something openly admitted to getting paid. Other than that, there were apparently many different stories of how that staff/administration would do it. A common one is they'd take recruits for a night out in Austin during their OV, tell them to go to the bathroom. In there, they'd apparently find some cash, and when they came back whoever was hosting them from staff would tell them things along the lines of "there's more where that came from". I'm not saying Mack's staff paid a ton of guys because I don't know that as fact, but we did pay a substantial amount.
  5. If we paid recruits we wouldn't have lost out on Trey Sanders, Ringo, etc. This current staff just doesn't play dirty (yet). Mack Brown certainly did, however. That being said, I don't think this staff can hold out much longer without jumping in. Losing some of those blue chips has made a hell of a dent in our plans. Ringo was practically a silent here before that coach we curb stomped last January intervened.
  6. Oh, all reports about Bijan is that he's extremely kind and a great kid. But the ideal is when you commit you shut it down, but as you said, these days it isn't like that for the big ones. On early enrollee, I think AZ kids can't early enroll because they're on the quad system and not the semester system in their high schools. I believe neither Jake Smith nor Spencer Rattler early enrolled. I think they can if they really wanted to, but it seems it's more difficult on their system.
  7. He's already set up an OV with UCLA according to OSU reporters. I'm not worried about them at all really, but what I am worried about is that a certain Top 3 school of his will seize the opportunity to get him to take the bus over afterwards for a UV. Getting Bijan Friday is great because it means we'll lead for him, but he's unfortunately not going to be one of the recruits that you can stop recruiting after he's committed.
  8. He runs an independent recruiting site that panders to one of the most desperate fan bases in the country. Looch doesn't give a fuck about reporting the contrarian side of things. As long as he gets paid, he'll spin any recruiting loss as a school playing dirty or saying Jimbo backed off and pump sunshine so far up their asses otherwise they'll have rainbows bleeding from their eyes.
  9. No. Staff isn't worried if Thompson will qualify and the engineering dept. works with the team to bend the rules a bit if needed. Part of Cockrell's want to have a diverse student body, that includes student athletes. Chris is a smart kid. Other than that, applications haven't even begun for their class to my knowledge. Not sure, it's been like 4 years since I've applied to undergrad.
  10. That's the thing, the whole "family wants him at AU" play is bunch of horse shit. Chris' family and he met with engineering advisors on each of his visits here. Family supposedly wants the best for his life after football. Auburn can't hold our jockstrap in either of those categories. I thought it was all smoke, but after he pushed back the commitment date, I have to admit there might be more to it. I'm still not too worried.
  11. Figured it was time to stop lurking after all this time.
  12. Think losing Coach Samp had a role in what's playing out with CT Jr if true?
