Nick Cannon is a brilliant actor. You should easily be able to understand the scene with just a look at that face.

Just a guess, but I'm thinking it was relayed to him that we won't be paying whatever ridiculous sum of money he was asking for.
And that we have a bead on someone we like just as much / better.

A bunch of them got all up in arms about someone calling Ketchum "fat". I said "But he's also a terrible person, so calling him fat is like a compliment". That post was deleted. The others are still up.

Is "RecruitClique" a reputable outfit?

The average NFL player plays 3.3 years. For every guy that hits a second contract, many more wash out after a couple of years. Once you figure in the agent, taxes, and living expenses, a player taken after the 2nd round would be lucky to have 2 million in the bank at the end of his rookie deal. It's a nice nest egg, but if you're trying to live off of it the rest of your life, you're looking at about 60-80K a year (3-4% of 2 mil) to live on without touching your capital. If you get chosen in the first round or early second round, yes, that's life-changing money if you can hold onto it. But everybody else, unless you hit that second contract, odds are you're going to need an income-producing career after the NFL to live a comfortable middle-class lifestyle.
Not for nothing, but the NFL pension also vests after 3 years. I don't think it's much - maybe $50k/year - and you don't start drawing on it until you're much older, but it is another benefit to playing in the league even if you don't make it past your first contract.

Because why? No Ewers?
The top-8 are fine, as far as this kind of thing goes. But then it gets weird. Quinshon Judkins is not a first round RB, in any way shape or form. Riley Leonard as a first round QB is bananas - do you know how many TD passes he threw last season? Three. That's it. I know he got injured but my point is less about the lack of production and more about...who the fuck is he? He has shockingly good wheels for a white QB from Duke and nothing else, yet he's in this guy's first round?
And also, no Ewers. Who is going 1/1 after we win the NCG.

"The measuring stick is the schools putting 10+ into the draft, EVERY year"
A&M has had 10 players drafted exactly once in the program history - in 1976. And they needed 14 rounds to do it, with only 6 players drafted in the first 7 rounds.
They will literally never hold themselves to the same standards they demand from other programs.

After setting a Longhorn record today for a 7 round draft, next year will be much better than this year in all probability.
Our highest ranked guy this year was #16. We had 11 guys drafted. Both should be eclipsed fairly easily next year. Call your shot here and now…Total- 16- new record for a 7 round draft
Quinn, Blue, Helm, Golden, Bond, Boldon, Banks, Major
Sorrell, Collins, Barron, Makuba, Savea, Holmes
i think all those guys get drafted. Give me one more offensive lineman that ends up being a 3 year guy (Campbell or Williams) and one more defensive player on the line.
Quinn and Banks go top 10 and one of the receivers sneaks in to first round.
After all that happens we go into 2025 more talented than 2024.
God bless your optimism. I'm not quite that bullish but I don't think you're crazy.

I've never been a big "trust the coaches" guy when it comes to recruiting, but there's something similar that I've been following for years now when it comes specifically to the LOS. Who is Texas competing with for any of their DT, OT, C or OG targets? If the competition consists of programs and/or staffs putting guys in the NFL and regularly in the playoffs, okay, good, that's a strong sign that a low ranking can be ignored and a high ranking is confirmed. If that isn't the case, your program is heading towards late-stage Mack and could wind up careening towards Tom Herman/Derek Warehime/Herb Hand catastrophe.
The current competition for this kid doesn't seem great in terms of "staffs putting guys in the NFL and regularly in the playoffs":
- Cal
- Florida
- Nebraska
- Texas
- Washington
- USC
Maybe I'm underselling the value of UW and USC evaluations, but I'd rather see schools like Michigan and Georgia coming after this guy. To be clear, I know nothing about this. Your comment just piqued my curiosity so I looked up his 247 page.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Now We Have a Machine Gun
in 🤫$9.95🤫
Posted · Edited by Park Gothic
With more than 3 RBs in the room, obviously. But having 3 who could start at most FBS schools is unusual and what I'm referring to.
I think people are starting to see the benefit of having 3 "starter level" RBs who are GTG and get a solid share of playing time during the season. Spreading out the touches lets everyone put out good tape while causing less wear and tear, which the NFL appreciates in April. Not that this is a novel concept or that Texas invented it, but we are the best example of it in the current CFB landscape.
