  1. I don't have a problem with anything he said. He handled the NC aftermath like a pro. He handled the Barkley thing hilariously. I've got nothing but respect for the young man. I'm still not sure what kind of leader Sam is going to be, but if he's anything like Hurts, we're in good shape.

    Let's think about where the class could wind up. First number is what we have, and second number is what I think the final count will be at that position.

    QB 1 - perfect unless you're secretly a shill for Grant Tisdale

    TE 2 - 1 standout and a project with a great frame, awesome

    WR 3 (5) - I love the 3 commitments at this spot. I think they're going to wind up taking 5, if they can get the ones they want. In looking at the depth chart, either one of CJ or LJH going pro, or both, or Duvernay deciding to transfer, and the roster is suddenly extremely thin. Davion Curtis and Jordan Pouncey better be ballers. Brennan Eagles needs to figure out how to separate. All doable, but at some point if you lose 2 of the 3 Jrs, you begin relying on the premise that you're going to hit with a higher batting average than is plausible with the limited players on campus. Give me an oversigning here because math. In my heart, this is Higgins and Wright. In my head, I think there's an excellent shot it's someone like the dude from Round Rock and an emerging recruit from nowhere. 

    OT 2 - If a senior emerges that looks like a take as a project, fine by me. Otherwise, I like where we're at here.

    OG (1) - After Rodas Johnson, I am not really sure what in the fuck we're doing here. It's bizarre. I choose to believe there's shit we're not seeing, which is likely with this staff, and we'll see some strong candidates emerge in the fall. There's non-senior depth on the roster, but that depth has question marks in varying forms, whether injury, want-to, or capability. I don't know, maybe you hope that the esteemed Lord Edgart Bonhomme Orgeron will burn Baton Rouge to the ground and the monster that ate Kardell Thomas looks around. 

    OC (1) - Yeah, we need a fucking center in this class. I assume they find one.

    TB (1) - They need a back that could carry the load, and I will continue to believe it's Cain. I don't want to piss in anyone's Post Toasties, and this is for another day/thread, but Evans recruitment is going to be extremely complicated and I'd put us at very low odds, so getting Cain is a big deal.

    DT 1 (2) - Sweat is a DT at Texas. They've actually got a lot of youth on the roster here, so I'm not sweating, if you will, adding another guy, but I assume they will. They're still in it for some ballers at this spot, and Texas also produces emerging talent on the DL as seniors, it seems. 

    DE 1 (2) - I don't know, man, I don't know if I like where things sit here. I have a hard time giving Giles the benefit of the doubt that this is going to be just great, too. 

    LB 3 (4) - Some of you guys get twisted on the naming conventions and whether some LBs are actually DEs in Orlando's defense. Whatever. Add up the DE and LB takes then. I think Texas is about to have 3 commits at LB, and I think they get Owens who winds up being a LB but I list below as an ATH, and I think they ultimately get Gbenda and if not him, Cooper or a new sparkly senior riser. 

    CB 2 - I like what they have, even if Watson becomes a safety. It's hard for me to believe they're in need of a 3rd guy here for this class.

    NB (1) - They need to land Catalon.

    S 1 (2) - I don't count Owens in this. I think they'll take one more and I don't think Cine is the one. Maybe it's a riser or Pola-Gates surprises us.

    ATH (1) - I can't really buy into capturing McCoy unless Helton totally implodes. I think they get Owens if they push for him.

    So that's 27 guys. I could see getting to 28 if they score a JUCO that they really like, or if they find a gem that they can't pass up, or LSU is lit afire. I could see them sitting at 25 because they don't think takes 26-28 could improve the roster. If that's the case, I'd guess we see 4 WRs and Owens is the other safety add and then Giles just whiffs somewhere.

     

     

    If the staff lands Tufono, I think they may push a little harder for the G/C from Hawaii (Vinakki I think). Another guy from the Island headed this way plus the fact that his aunt went to Texas can't hurt

    In other news, Georgia has 5 5*. Holy shit sticks!!!

    Having lived there for a number of years, I understand why people would want to go there vs Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio, College Station, and Louisiana etc etc.. 

    Michael Stipe?

    It might seem unconventional, but I’d like to see Carter land at Tech or OU. He’s got a ton of potential, but potential doesn’t pay the rent. He’s a landmine on a roster with his off the field bullshit and attitude. 

    Hide yo kids. Hide yo wife. Hide yo Andre Jones....Robert Joseph starter kit.

    Holy fuck. Texas is not recruiting Brooks. I don’t give one fuck what the recruit or his handlers are saying. If people paid to do this can’t do anything better than just serve as a fucking mouthpiece for street agents, they should commit seppuku in shame or at least die of gonorrhea and burn in hell. 

    So, how's Europe?
