    Don't you know where you are? How can you expect someone to follow this shit all year when they can come in the week of signing day and bitch about things they don't understand?

    We can at least expect them to know what conference we play in and what decade this is.

    DL is fine, numbers-wise. We whiffed on Leal, and that was that.

    OL, I'm struggling to understand right now. Hopefully it resolves itself like DL did last cycle.

    Agreed. Outside on missing on Leal, its hard to argue with the haul these last two cycles. Both in numbers and in quality.

    Which is the point of my second sentence. I assume we are going to grab a couple of no-name guys because taking a huge class next year is not going to be feasible. Feldman's article says this is the better path to success.

    No, its does not say throwing offers at random guys everyone has passed on is better for college success. If that was your takeaway you need to read it again.

    I agree.

    I guess you could look at DL recruiting last year where we had 0 prospects signed after NSD1, but it felt like we had more irons in the fire. Maybe I'm wrong.

    The one that came out of nowhere was Williams if I am not mistaken. Everyone else we were in on already. We do not even have names we have offered really past Coker and Hookfin.

    I'm sure we can dig up one, but we probably need two or three. I don't consider Shepherd a solution.

    You have to really consider Johnson as our only commit currently. If we miss on Coker and Hookfin that is really not a good position to be in. And it wont hurt us for 2-3 years from now but we have been down this path before.

    Not that I trust any of these jackasses - but why is the Stanford jackass to be believed over the Texas based jackasses? I mean if anyone has a ‘source’ close to the Austin based recruit - wouldn’t it be the local jackasses?

     

     

    He is picking Stanford and there is no suspense. This is fake drama to gen clicks.

    Let's say we miss on both Cain and Sanders. How do y'all feel about a running back class of Derrian Brown and Deondrick Glass (the likely backup plan)?

    You are the worst poster in a  place where shitty posters grow on trees.

    It seems that the Hookfin OV went south when Texas tried to sell him on redshirting, which is amazing since the guy looks like he's about 25 pounds away from playing at Texas right now

    And also amazing since the vast majority of all linemen redshirt.

    EJ update 

     

    — There was some Baylor buzz for four-star offensive lineman Isaiah Hookfin this weekend, and there is definitely something to it. The Bears have been quietly surging for Hookfin and are making things very interesting for Texas. The Longhorns did have a very good official visit weekend, but it wasn’t enough to lock up Hookfin. With all this said, we’re told that there isn’t a ton of confidence on the Baylor side and that Texas felt better about the situation tonight. I’m sticking with my Texas Crystal Ball right now, but this is one we are going to be following closely the next couple of days.

    — Texas did a great job with elite defensive back Jalen Catalon this weekend. He has a strong personal relationship with safeties coach Craig Naivar and a bond with players on the team like Josh Thompson and Caden Sterns — they all use the same defensive back trainer. Both Thompson and Sterns made Catalon feel like family this weekend, and I actually have reason to believe Texas is top of mind for Catalon. But there is still work to do with his parents. I’m told their preferences are still Arkansas and TCU. While Texas made an impression this weekend, they must win them over before February.

    — By the way, Catalon is making an official visit to TCU in January, and I’m hearing that the Horned Frogs are gaining a lot of steam. As mentioned, his parents really like TCU and feel comfortable with the staff. On top of that, TCU is only about a half hour drive for them, and I’m told they would love to have their son nearby. While Arkansas is the heavy favorite, I wouldn’t be shocked if TCU garners his commitment in the end. Keep in mind that TCU will be Catalon’s last official visit. As for Texas, the Longhorns have done enough with Catalon. It’s all about the parents. I can’t state that enough.

    — I felt somewhat optimistic about UT's chances with TCU offensive line commit Andrew Coker this morning. But after gathering more intel following the official visit, all signs point to him sticking with the Frogs. Coker told our Mike Roach that he was still signing with TCU on Wednesday and after checking in with sources, I feel like he is being genuine. It would be surprising if Coker has a change of heart before signing day.

    That is some epic paysite hedging bullshit going on there. He left himself an out for whomever Catalon signs with. 

    Shame on anyone that pays for that horseshit.

    I don't want to lose Powell if I know he winds up at safety.  It all depends on how strong his desire is to play QB - is he willing to make the move to safety if he can't crack the depth chart or does he transfer because he wants to keep chasing the dream. 

    Texas and Powell are not happening. From all accounts, Texas told him he is not welcome in this class anymore.

    By the way, anyone looking for comic relief from this shitshow of a thread should give LotusHorn's Trey Sanders "updates" a look: https://247sports.com/college/texas/Board/21/Contents/Sanders-Update-1216-126438245/

    If I ran a business and allowed that pathological liar to post on the boards I would be ashamed of myself. 

    But then again, the only thing that kept Stalin up at night was wondering why everyone did not love him. Apparently the blood that runs through my veins ain’t the same kind Burton has. 

  12. You see, by saying we are in it for Higgins the pay sites can trick you into reading their updates. And when he chooses Stanford they can claim about how it was a close call and it just did not go our way late.

    What a bunch of whiny fucktards we have on this board. 

    Who exactly is whining? I see people discussing what the recent developments mean and what are the next moves for Texas, 

    NM: I see who you are talking about.

    If this Baylor noise with Hookfin is true and we just passed on him, and possibly didn't push hard for Coker (not sure about either one), it seems likely that the staff has backup options that we don't know about 

    It would have to be. Although it does sound like we made a legit effort to flip Coker. But yes I agree the staff probably has other plans if we cooled on Hookfin. 

  15. If that does turn out to be the case, that means we just have two OL in the fold and one of them I will generously say isn’t exactly an A+ mental evaluation. 

    If Hookfin goes to Baylor we would have to evaluate, offer and sign two linemen between now and February. We did it last year on the defensive line but we had guys identified at least we were targeting.

    Well, it's either our guys changed their opinion on him after studying him this weekend, or we just got pantsed in the recruitment mid-official visit. Which one does Occam's Razor shave? 

    Neither one seens like the likely and obvious explanation. Occam won’t apply here if he does not sign with Texas.

    Do you think big boards are static and don't change after the initial opinions? 

    I don’t think they need to be static but it does seem odd to late offer a guy you have been evaluating for some time only to slow play him.4 days before he signs.

    The point in his post is that there is no other secret visitor. Carrington and the recruits were trolling and $9.95ers bit hard. It was complete bullshit. 

    I bet you find joy in telling children there is no Santa Claus too.
