    The ability for their fanbase to get riled up over something like this always amazes me. They actually make more money out of this, yet they are constantly shadow boxing and playing the victim. Are they surprised that ESPN is giving us a settlement for LHN? That was reported from the very beginning. Unrealized money being moved around to avoid out of pocket payments is just how the sausage gets made in large financial deals. But don't let that cloud the fact that Bob Iger has been compromised and now wants to see Sip on every station in his arsenal at all times.

    I don't think even Stephen A. Smith is that stupid.  That's Desmond Howard territory.

    This is fairly on brand for Stephen A. He says some of the stupidest shit imaginable, and thinks that if he yells it at you it will come true.

    Yeah, good luck against Cougar High.

    IF... and it is a big if, they make it past nebraska. Houston is going to embarrass them.

    Five-star prospect on Texas: 'Why wouldn't you want to be a part of that receiver room?'

    SPRING, Texas — Five-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett is big on relationships when it comes to his recruitment, and with Texas he has just that.

    “Me and Coach (Chris) Jackson, we have a great relationship,” the Sachse standout told Horns247 at Under Armour Houston. “We talk on the phone every week or every other week. And I have a great relationship with Coach Sark and Coach (Tashard) Choice. And I also have a good relationship with one of the players, Johntay Cook II, we both played on the same team with Texas Flex.”

    The Longhorns have hosted Lockett four or five times so far and will welcome him back on April 6 and June 21-23 for an official visit.

    “Going back to me and Coach Jackson’s relationship, when he was back in Jacksonville, he was coaching the best of the best at wide receiver,” Lockett said of what has Texas in the mix. “With him having guys in the wide receiver room like Ryan Wingo, Isaiah Bond, Johntay Cook II, DeAndre Moore Jr.. The list goes on. Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that receiver room and get developed by one of the best receiver coaches in college football.”

    Other schools of note Lockett brought up were LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, Penn State, and USC, where he’ll officially visit on June 7-9.

    “I’ll have my decision made by August,” he said.

    What are the important factors?

    “Definitely a family feel and development-wise,” he said. “I’m really big on family. It’s going to be hard to leave when I go to college. I need a second home when I go off to college, people that are going to accept me in.”

    At 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, Lockett is ranked the No. 4 wide receiver and the No. 20 overall player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

    Top-15 overall, #2 WR.

    How about we land Moore, Locket and Ff*** - 3 of the top 4 WRs in the nation?  Getting one of those 3 would be good ... all three?

    In order of want, I would go Moore, Ffrench, Lockett. All three are ballers, but Moore has a little something extra getting separation from defenders. Ffrench looks to be a nice combination of YAC and physicality, and Locket is just a speed merchant with great hands.

    Neto is coming for Hayden!!

     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Neto is starting over Hayden next season

    Conner couldn't get push in the run game in the B12, I don't see how they are realistically going into spring thinking he would be a starter in the SEC. I would imagine either/both Neto and Hutson pass him in the spring or summer. They may keep him as a starter in the spring in order to keep from losing him in a transfer window.

    Lets us pray to every god and deity in the known universe that KKL is not part of the deal for this rube to come to the gomers from corn aggy. 

    Meanwhile, Jimbo is on some caribbean island buying every prostitute for 100 miles. 

  7. I think the AD position has largely become an NIL recruiting and fundraising position with schools willing to look the other way on other stupid shit they do. Say what you want about Bjork, but he milked the shit out of their donor base. Alberts has been successful in getting a somewhat competent NIL program off the ground, and he made a splash hire in Rhule. I expect him to hit the ground running at ATM and the rubes will just keep throwing money at things like MOAR FACILITIES.

    I haven't heard much about him but I know he lost a ton of weight. I'm curious if they don't prefer him at an in-line TE position. I think he got some play there.

    Agbo is down to 280, I have heard Bobby and Gerry postulate that his future may in fact be at an in line blocking TE due to his great feet.

    As the bracket selection committee gathers in a crowded hotel conference room, the NCAA president hushes the group in order to speak:

    ”Folks, I know we’ve got some tough decisions to make over the next few hours. Not everyone is going to be happy and some of you might wind up damned near upset. That said, we need to get to it. I just have one caveat that I think we can all agree to as we get underway - Texas A&M cannot make this tournament. I don’t like them and consider them a true threat to upend everything we hold dear if they make it in. “

    ”Hear! Hear!” shouts the exuberant crowd in unison. 

    They just need to focus on pushing the envelope on CFP expansion to 20 so they can actually make it in some years.
