    I won’t disagree with the underlying point, but you realize USC has 9.95rs also, right? They would be doing the same thing. As big of a catch he would be for us, he’d be even bigger for their class.

     

     Bru is going to USC. It was worth the shot but it’s over.

    Colt Barber started a hashtag of "P2W" and a bunch of baylor folks are tweeting it. 

    I'm pretty sure its meaning is "pay to win". 

    I think they are now accusing Texas of paying Hookin. So we've gone from "lying", to "deceiving", to "they are cheating". 

    When do you go from being a journalist to being a booster? He is the Taylor Hamm of the Baylor network but with a slightly. better personal life.

    I'm just going to piece together a Bru McCoy conspiracy theory real quick.

    1. DeGabriel Floyd's tweets suggested he had confidence Texas was landing someone else and he's been recruiting Bru hard.

    2. There are reports that Bru favors Texas, but USC is more comfortable because of the location and people he knows.

    3. Tom Herman said that he expected to land 1 or 2 more LOI's THIS signing period.

    4. Bru apparently is sending his LOI this signing period.

    Conclusion:  Bru is already in

     

    The one or two more signings is likely a reference to Shepherd and Hookfin. Bru is signing with USC.

    Per 24/7, they haven't heard that ATH Bru McCoy signed yesterday but he has been accepted by both Texas and USC.

    Coach Mehringer has spoken with the famiy in the last 48 hours and he's still scheduled to announce his decision at the All-American Bowl on January 5th.

    /

    Also from 24/7, they expect OL Isaiah Hoofkin of Fort Bend Dulles to sign his LOI before the early signing period ends.

    Things are trending positively for Texas, but it isn't a slam dunk.

    If you want to know how weird this recruitment is, the Hoofkin family claimed they weren't aware of all the problems Baylor has had in the past.

     

     

    That is absolutely astounding that they did not know of Baylor’s issues. 

  5. If you do not want schools to tell recruits you run a criminal organization where rape, steroids and even murder were at times condoned by your major coaches well, there is something you can do about that. 

    Stop fucking raping people and covering up murder. But by all means, get mad at us for telling a recruit to look it up.

    whose time?  your time?  not our time.  get a grip you fragile nitwit. 

    It’s hard to know when you are being satirical because, well you are not very funny. But wasting our time indeed. We went in on Sanders and we don’t really have a viable backup plan. That cost us more than “time”. It has the real chance of causing harm to our roster. 

    We need to decide at some point if we are going to play the game. Our strategy is kind of a half pregnant approach of going after southeast blue chip players but not willing to pay for commitments. 

  7. Another strategy to RB recruiting, if we simply won’t play the SEC payment game is to figure out who Northwestern and San Diego St are targeting every year. 

    It kind of saddens me that we were not willing to pay for Sanders but thought we could sign him straight up. Either bust out the duffel bags or stay away. I’m fine with either I just don’t like wasting our time.

    Wiltfong on Hookfin. Sounds like the F250 was delivered just in time

    Heard at the final hour a change of heart, not sure what it was, but it's not Baylor, at least right now. Seems Texas is alive if not trending towards the Longhorns moving forward.

    One source believes Hookfin's parents are high on the Longhorns.

     

    Him delaying is good news for us. 

     

    I should know this but when does early signing period officially end? Friday?

    Fucking shocker. I guess that means we can go nuts after glass. 

    I hate to tell you this, but we are playing from behind with Glass. The player everyone bitched about having to sign is currently favoring another school.

    This entire recruiting cycle has made it clear that EJ knows absolutely nothing and has no ability to parse what is said to him by recruits and trainers to find the truth. 

     

     

    That was made clear long before this recruiting cycle.

    Saban was also pissed at Bama's 2018 Recruiting results and made some changes for this 2019 Recruiting Class.......  It happens, and yes Herman has to make changes in the current staff...

    Your RB coach has the least amount of actual coaching responsibilities on the team.  That position had to be a rainmaker and not just at that position. Drayton is not carrying his weight.

    Yeah, I do think Herman needs to rethink his staff and get a closer or 2.  They are "good" at recruiting but not great at closing on highly contested recruitments.  Overall I think this is a good class, but there are some weaknesses on the OL, RB and DL side.  1 commit at RB & OL isn't going to cut it and we still didn't sign any DT's.  We did get some good DE's and maybe 1 or 2 will grow into the DT role, but I don't think we have the luxury of waiting 2-3 years for that to pan out.  Hopefully the misses on the big guns will get Herman moving ... 

    If any good can come from this at least it is clear our staff is not maximized for the current recruiting landscape.
