    Forget boring virtual tours and zoom slide shows

    They need to make some hype live stream events

    Make a private Facebook group. Invite the prospects. Do a tour or whatever shit quickly but then have some current players out on the lake with GoPros and turn the stream over to them. Still want to follow distancing so maybe a cliff diving competition or water sports instead of a boat party. Organize a game/contest that the croots can do from home with coaches and players. Maybe a dunk contest or something. Do a private inside the nba style show with some scheme info or whatever but also top 10 and shaqtin a fool segments featuring spring practice clips. Point is to mix normal recruiting stuff with something new. One minute PK is pitching Kamari Wilson on all the safeties he's put in the league and breaking down film, the next DMO is roasting the shit out of a DL for not wearing enough arm bands and getting pancaked. We now have some talented guys committed and a decent product to sell. Be different and fun

    Announce a big recruiting weekend in the summer once in-person restrictions ease up. Do fun streams every couple weeks to build excitement for the big weekend. Like a preview. Plan it for July and jokingly get guys to "commit"--not to signing but to coming that weekend. The croots come, have a good time, then you can do campus visits and more standard stuff on the next visit because they'll want to return. Make the front of the pitch about coming to have fun and celebrate being able to get together again. This cycle won't all be virtual so let's not get bogged down in zoom. They can be serious over the phone and facetime but I'd like to see us get creative with the virtual space and use it as a driver, not a destination

    This sounds terribly boring.

    Then they should leave. Fuck any of our players that bad mouth our school. Aggy is a shit hole school in a shit hole town. Their current flame will burn out just like it did in the 90s, and what did they have to show for their time as “big brother” then.

    I’m in SEC country and just about everyone here has come around to the fact that aggy are weirdos at best and a cult at worst. They are the punchline. Always have been and always will be. 

    I don’t think this attitude will be around much longer. This was a Tom Herman issue not a Texas issue. Herman was hated by almost every subset of Texas (fans, admin, boosters, players).

    Sark seems likable. Hopeful that changes the narrative.

    I would feel extremely conflicted if Texas takes Murphy this early, have to imagine that’s the death knell to the Ewers dream plus going out of state for a project as your first QB take is a big gamble (the upside is huge however)

    I know we all want Ewers but unfortunately I think that ship has sailed. Murphy would be a nice consolation prize and also gives us an established presence out west. I’d be shocked if Ewers flips back to us.

    Murphy’s an interesting prospect. There’s not very much film on him since he wasn’t the starting QB in 2019, and he didn’t get to play in 2020 . He’s big and he has a huge arm, but he’s not actually very good at football right now. His footwork is very sloppy and his throwing motion is long and inconsistent. 
    If max preps is correct, then he played in 5 games his sophomore year and went 26/58 (45%) 305 yds, 0 TD, 2 INTs. 
     

    Having said all that, he’s got the tools. A lot will depend on his work ethic and development. Anyone who’s seen him throw in person the last year will have a much better idea of him as a prospect than any of us trying to watch the limited clips of him playing in 2019 and some more recent 7v7/camp stuff. 

    What has garnered the 5 star rating then?

    Steve Wiltfong: National Signing Day Eve Recruiting Buzz

    ***Could be a great day for Texas A&M. The Aggies start the day with the 247Sports Composite’s No. 7 class, a third-straight top 10 haul under head coach Jimbo Fisher. As I continue to talk to sources regarding the Top247’s No. 3 running back LJ Johnson, the more I love the Aggies' position as they battle Texas down the stretch. Jimbo Fisher’s track record (guys like Dalvin Cook), the long-standing relationship with Tommie Robinson and Texas A&M never wavering on who their top running back target in 2021 was, I think in the end has helped the College Station program. Texas did lead at one point in the fall but the consistency at Texas A&M sees them through I believe. I also think one of the big components in this recruitment is Name, Image, Likeness and the SEC stage and TV ratings for the big games in the league was another factor that helped Fisher and company.

    Hmm?  If that's the case then we should have won out. 

    F&*% Tom Herman.
