  1. My one and only connection to the program, who I have cited in the Urban Meyer, McRib or Bust thread was in town this week going all Ted Cruz escaping the power outages to ski with my wife and I. This was my first chance to see him in person since the OU game. Some quick notes: * Sark was the clear number two choice after Urban. There was time last year when the money was aligned behind Campbell but once Sark laid out his vision for the Texas program the choice was made early in the process once Urban said no thanks. This was somewhat surprising to me. * Sark apparently listed out his proposed coaching staff which was a fucking all star wish list and said it would require Texas to commit to 7 figure salaries for as many as 3 additional coaches beyond the coordinator position. This was actually a huge selling point after the cluster fuck of Herman’s initial staff. * The belief from the Texas side was that Sark would be far away the best overall recruiting upgrade over the likes of Campbell, Kelley and other names mentioned. Recruiting was a very big factor in the decision apparently. * The money was aligned behind the candidate at least two full weeks before the announcement. This was not a blank check without input. Kudos to the people involved in the process and behind the financial support for keeping a lid of this. And that is all of the info I will have until we fire and hire again which I hope is many years from now.
  2. He thinks Drayton is terrible at his job despite the fact that he is constantly in high demand by other college and NFL teams. Perhaps all of those other programs are idiots and golfclap is the real football genius over the likes of Urban Meyer or perhaps he is full of shit. I’m leaning towards the latter.
  3. His 2018 ranking wasn’t terrible, honestly. 2019 that one has some big misses like Owens being so high.
  4. That’s good news on Connor. I’m just so cynical now on big, guard only prospects after so many have not panned out over the years. Brooks is kind of like Coffey to me. Neither look like they have elite speed but are just good at football. Obviously if they are just so slow they cannot translate that to college that is a problem but I don’t think that is the case. Definitely redshirt both of them if you can and just have them focus on strength and conditioning.
  5. People will quickly tell me how awful this is but this is what I think are the top 10: Sanders Blackwell Alexis Lee Ibraheem Coffey Murphy Abiara Davis Brooks I guess as an amateur there is something I’m missing on Blackwell. I realize he is a tweener in size but watching him play I think he might end up being the most productive player in the class. I’m also pretty bullish the WR prospects we signed. I thought they were much better than I expected.
  6. Connor has to improve his footwork or he really is just going to be depth at best. He cannot play center or tackle so obviously only being able to play guard is going to limit him. I do not see it at all with Helm or Wright. I think the PWO we signed is a better QB prospect.
  7. Was their 2021 recruiting class the worst one they have signed since Patterson has been there? I’m too lazy to look but it was fucking terrible. That man has one foot out the door based on his work ethic right now.
  8. This will obviously not hurt our chances with a certain North Shore cornerback.
  9. He looks like a legit receiver. It’s telling how deep the pool is for receivers when we miss on all of our first and second choices yet still sign several great prospects.
  10. It’s not just fans that overlooked him. His commitable offer list is not very impressive. Honestly, his hands and body control are what you wish you had in Jake Smith’s athleticism.
  11. I’m finally going through the 2021 class now after taking a break for much of this recruiting cycle. Just going through offense first and I’m just now realizing we signed some ballers at wide receiver. I had no idea how good Alexis and Davis were but the one that intrigues me the most is Lee. His skill set does not match his body type at all. If someone described a receiver recruit to you as possessing great hand hands, elite body control, above average 40 speed but played tough over the middle and relished breaking tackles and stiff arming people you would assume that player was a 6”4, 215 pound Lil Jordan Humphrey type player and not a 5”10, 175 point cat quick inside receiver. This is the kind of player that goes to Kansas State and fucking destroys us for four years. I’m guessing his 40 time is not elite and combined with his size that probably took him off the radar for most teams? If he can bulk up and stay that quick (which should not be a problem) he should wreck shop in the B12. It doesn’t matter what his top end speed is if his first 10 yards are elite and he has that body control. This guy is going to be a really good player for us and he is wildly underrated, IMO. I assume the recruiting nerds are going to tell me why I am wrong and why it is we were fighting UTSA for him and not LSU.
  12. He made the mistake of not realizing he’s not overly special and he’s playing a position where there isn’t a lot of separation between WR 20 and WR 75 nationally. I’m sure he will enjoy playing at Baylor/Tech/TCU.
  13. He meant to say they haven’t had a white QB in years.
  14. There should be segregated rep for Cloak Room and football content. None of that shit should carry over to other boards.
  15. This is how you fan delusion, folks. A good mixture of fake apathy sprinkled with the underhanded insult to a player’s mental evaluation who chooses not to come here. The only thing missing is the reference to the backup plan player being wildly underrated by the recruiting services.
  16. It’s really amazing what having a competent recruiting staff can accomplish.
  17. He cannot write about Banks without a stripper or monkey reference. This one was especially forced. But yes the constant market metaphors are tiring. The man cannot simply just write an update without trying to be clever.
  18. I say this with all due respect but we just signed the worst recruiting class in god knows how long and we played a walk on named Kai Money and a band of JAGS at the position last year and you have gone from that situation to how do we fit six of the top 10-15 wide receivers in the nation on the same class? I mean, this is some next level fan delusion. Bravo sir. I wonder how we will fit Ewers, Murphy, Aaron Rodgers and Klubnik in the same class when they all rush to commit at the same time.
  19. Eric Crouch won a Heisnan after throwing more interceptions than touchdowns. It’s hard to think of a worse winner than him.
  20. Wait until you get to the part where McNulty finally has enough and kills Daniels and frames Lester for the crime.
