  1. aggy and the recruiting services are both circling around the problem but missing the actual issue. Texas players aren't soft. The style of football is not so ubiquitous that it creates a vacuum of defensive talent that can only be solved by kids from Jersey. The issue is that you have to be much more aware of upside and doing more complete evaluations. The Texas kids (and when I say this, you can add most of the Cali and suburban Georgia kids as well) have played A TON more football than those kids from the NE corridor. Tens-of-thousands more reps against other players that have played 1,000s more reps. Texas HS QBs are ready to play so much earlier than other QBs because they've seen more complex defenses and run more complex offenses than their counterparts. Coaches don't have to spend valuable practice time teaching common route trees in Texas. The kids have run them all and can also read combo coverages when they come in to high school as 9th graders. The Texas coaches don't have to spend near as much time teaching hand-fighting on the LOS - because the kids do it with their trainers. On and on. It does create a plethora of guys in each class that are physically maxed out, or close to it, but are really good at football. Guys that have really good film and have played a crapton of football. These are guys that can be over-rated but can also help your team and provide quality depth. They ARE better football players because they have put their Gladwell 10k hours in. The downside is that if they end up long-term multi-year starters you will lack athleticism. (see Brian Williams, the Green bros, Stripling) the 9.95ers aren't adjusting to these guys and are super reluctant to drop guys that were rated high early, because of their early varsity productivity as FR/SO but who are clearly maxed out. aggy has signed numerous guys that simply don't have the athletic profile of a plus NCAA/NFL athlete. Luke Matthews isn't soft - he is athletically limited. You could see that in every setting where he played against D1 talent, on film and in camps. Max Wright had bad knees at 17, signing him and then adding a bunch of weight doesn't mean Texas players are soft. It means that they did a poor eval. RJ Orebo weighed 11 pounds at 6'9" -- he's not indicative of Texas players being soft. He's indicative of a terrible eval. Going to get Adarious Jones didn't press the magic "now we're physical" at DT button. Do you honestly want to compare him to T'Vondre Sweat and talk about physical presence? It's the fucking evals. There are Texas kids playing defense all across the country and they are fucking good. That take is lazy and stupid.
  2. Rucci to Wisky :: https://247sports.com/Player/Nolan-Rucci-46058902/
  3. Another day - another video featuring music/beats from Tyler Johnson. texas setting up the NIL with the “we already know how to get your (music/art/film/photos/poems/nickname/whatever) out. here’s some interactions figures from our previous athletes and their portfolios so that you can see how they used those impressions along with the 4ever Texas internship to ...”
  4. That ASU staff is mentioned by every single recruit, if you ask them about which staff can get them prepared for the NFL. The recruits 100% believe in them and they are putting together a very nice depth chart, and they can develop. Color me stunned because Herm may not really get CFB but his staff sure as fuck does.
  5. Sounds like USM just made Walden the interim HC and handed him a wet bag of dog shit. If he can do anything with the mess Hopson left trying to save his own ass and a locker room full of mistrust USM should give him the job next year. If he can’t or they don’t Texas should roll up on him with any analyst/assistant role we have and give him a 100 cases of Red Bull and let him do his thing.
  6. Patterson (and later Briles) pound that shit into their heads like you can’t imagine. It’s one of his go-to messages. Texas didn’t want you - we wanted you from the beginning, etc
  7. With his girlfriend it appears.
  8. Yep. All LSU
  9. He’s rumored to be the 2022 OU silent commit. Byrd is rumored to be the 2021 (to go along with Farooq).
  10. The chasm between the Texas media department and aggy is vast and it is 100% clear that they do not understand the impending NIL. That hokey aggy network shit isn’t going to cut it and this sad sack shit is certainly not going to cut it.
  11. This is their scrimmage coverage :: Oh man, Smart Chibuzo at C, I think with the 1s. http://www.cbssports.com/general/video/2a03e0fc-607d-4702-8366-0f17a0bacd3b
  12. OU with an OT offer for a Cherry Creek Colorado (sane school as Gunnar Helm, I think) kid — he’s got a lot of the right offers. I expect he will be seeing a good bump :: https://247sports.com/Player/George-Fitzpatrick-46101012/
  13. OU with an OT offer for a Cherry Creek Colorado kid — he’s got a lot of the right offers. I expect he will be seeing a good bump :: https://247sports.com/Player/George-Fitzpatrick-46101012/
  14. There were some rumors that he may try to stealth attend the gathering this weekend with Byrd.
  15. What about Egbuka? Think he’s going to tOSU?
  16. Josh McCuistion with a forecast/CB for Brenen Thompson to OU. OU will also get Talyn Shettron. They are going to have a filthy WR class. Going to be interesting to see how many spots they use at WR. Looks like they plan to take 4 as well as a TE. that would be 4 each year and a rolling 3 year of 12 WRs - as well as taking 3 transfers.
  17. Drumm with an OU CB for 5* WR Luther Burden from STL :: https://247sports.com/Player/Luther-Burden-46058915/
  18. He's a Shipley so whenever he does enroll he'll have roughly 11 years of eligibility.
  19. Texas with the good luck tweet and the NIL reminder all in one go...
  20. Tavorus Jones picked up a USC offer. That guy has absolutely blown up. Pretty impressive eval by the staff on that one. https://247sports.com/player/tavorus-jones-46101298/
  21. Holy fuck. I can't look right at it. I can't look away.
  22. Kelley. Roberson. Arinze. Wete. Honestly, you should consider the rush spot as a DL guy, to an extent. So add Bonnito and I guess Terry.
