Count me as one who would have preferred we got both cosmi and little.
Feel like it was an either/or situation. Didn't think Cosmi got an offer until we missed on Little. At least that's my recollection. In hindsight, of course we take both.

You guys can't seriously think the criticism and dismay surrounding this decision is only from Football board posters who don't follow recruiting?
Everyone and their mother acknowledged at the start of the cycle that this year's OL class would not be a success without the Brockermeyers. Instead it's the recruiting posters, the guys who should know better, who are now regurgitating the usual "it's fine, we didn't really need him/we'll find a 3-star gem to replace him" takes. I only have to go back a couple of months to find both the $9.95-ers and @Longhorn94-type insiders still assuring us that the Brockermeyers will probably end up here. Nothing about our dismal offensive performance last year changed in those few months, so what happened? Clearly the relationship with Herman and Blake deteriorated beyond repair, and that should be a very worrying sign for our blue-chip targets moving forward.
The Walker Little situation aside, this is definitely the worst recruiting miss of Herman's tenure so far here, and it comes at a time when Hand is already having problems elsewhere. OL classes like 2021 don't come around very often, and losing this recruitment is a pretty definitive sign that this staff cannot survive on selling hope any longer. And I'm not even going to get into the further damage that a cancellation of the 2020 season would cause.
Just to be clear, your argument is that this is the biggest miss since Walker Little, and we had to settle for a 3-star that's been developed and is probably 50-50 to be drafted higher than Little? The one thing this staff does extremely well is identify talent. I have no idea if they'll find another Cosmi this year, but I'm not overly concerned about getting back 3 scholarships because we missed on one kid (Tommy). Give this staff 3 scholarships to find a contributing lineman, and I feel good about that. It's definitely a loss, but it's not the end of the fucking world.

Surprised not to see the LB from Manvel listed - Justin Medlock. Looked him up, and he's a high 3-star on 247, but he's already got some real offers for a '22 kid. His dad played at A&M, so we're probably already out.

yeah I was wondering what the rationale for this is. Just pushes the season back to get more time for the virus to subside or what?
I think it's about control personally. Much easier to mandate protocols within the conference. They have no control over the standards other conferences impose, which could theoretically be less demanding with less resources and funding available...plus they can get additional conference revenue to offset the lack of people in the stands. Those non-conference away dates become content they can sell if they increase the number of conference games. They also don't have to shell out to smaller schools to show up.

What if Baker Mayfield is making $45M that year?
Don't laugh, it's just a hypothetical used due to historical situations. I'm just saying if the market for average QBs explodes to where $40M is average, then yeah, he might hold out. If he's still possibly the best QB in the game then he should hold out in that situation.
Holding out won't be the same in the future due to provisions in the new CBA to prevent it.

Now you gotta wonder how much of the bottom line Texas is worried about with big money donors. Hopefully they can work shit out with those guys, if they're presenting a solid roadblock.
Finances in general are going to be a real problem for public universities for the next couple of years
-
Truth: Mississippi had no interest in changing it's flag until it started to impact the bottom line economically. As soon as all the coaches showed up to the statehouse and said they wouldn't be able to recruit, it was a done deal.

It's also easier to make changes when the initial thing is so public and flat-out obviously racist that it's actually hurting your state's economy. If it's meaningless, it's ironically harder to do.
I'd probably say more symbolic than meaningless. Certainly tangible things move the needle quicker, but to the group asking for the changes, they aren't meaningless.

You said it.... "they"
You gotta get a buncha "theys" on the same page. Three weeks. Who knows how far they've gotten or not.
Not to mention the fact that Covid is currently wrecking shop on revenues and the state budget going forward. This is absolutely a priority, and for the players most likely their main priority, but the University as a whole, it is one of many. Some of which have become extremely pressing. I don't envy our administration at all right now.

If the big boosters have even close to the zero-to-butthurt speed of Black Brockermeyer, I'm sure they'll handle being pressured really well.
Unfortunate typo given the current climate

Not only that, but CDC can't do a whole lot himself. Boosters will be involved, the University. It goes beyond the athletic department.
Quick, somebody fire up Parks and Rec on Hulu. We need to screen it for the team as an introduction to the wonderful world of government/bureaucracy. Seriously though, this was always going to move slower than they wanted.

It'd be fine if it were only up to CDC, or Tomothy. It's not. Logistically three weeks just isn't a lot. Would be interesting to know what the players are being told.
I'd more interested in hearing what Overshown heard. Communicating across multiple demographics (age, race, etc) can morph even a direct message. We need to be actively trying to understand how the message is being received. Genuine intentions mean nothing if they're seen as disingenuous.

I expect that this will happen across the country, and I'm curious how this will be handled regarding scholarship benefits. Obviously, I'm most invested with what happens here, but also watching nationally.

Connor also missed 7 games that season.
And didn't have Cosmi's measurables...and still went mid-second round. It's not like he fell too far.

There's a good chance that Kyle Flood moves on from his coaching rehab position as soon as an upward opportunity presents itself. Feel like Hand will stay if Herman stays.

Honestly as long as he shuts the fuck up about thots and stops getting into dumb fights with Derka, I don't mind having a probably-not-but-maybe team-affiliated chaos agent around.
The sheer volume of shit accounts he's created make this a hard no for me.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2021
in 🤫$9.95🤫
Posted
Any chance we try to sell Iwwunah on playing OL? If we land Turner with Thomas already on board, I think his athleticism would play on the OL. We'd still have Regis and Jackson to push for trying to maximize on the DL. In-state OL options seem to be running low.
