….because Texas really wants him…..that’s why.

Texas really wants a lot of guys. I don’t see Tech in on them. This doesn’t make sense in the context of their class. Why not just put together a Top10 class?

I think there's some symbolism for Tech here. They get to say, "see all the interviews where Ojo said Texas told him he was their number one target? Well: 1) we beat him for this guy; 2) we can outbid them for whoever; and we're just as good as they are." Spoiler: 1) we bowed out because they made a stupid offer for a developmental prospect (admittedly one with an extremely high ceiling); 2) they can't; and 3) they are not now, never have been, and never will be as good as us at pretty much anything except maybe tumbleweeds and STDs per capita. 

 

I will take all of this back if Ojo commits to UT tomorrow. In that case, he's clearly the second coming of Anthony Munoz, Orlando Pace, and Tony Boselli all rolled into one.

Maybe they've tried and didn't get any bites? I'm sure many recruits have a very high price to become a techtard and rightfully so.

Remind me, who are we not getting today? Gotta set my holiday schedule… 

Ojo.

Gerry is reporting $2M over two years from Tech for a player that was "2nd team all district"

Well, saw how they bought championships with Nija Canady, sooo... good luck to Ojo and Tech, I guess. Have fun developing by playing against the nation's best in... the Big XII 

 

Edit: I'm also happy to see very few people actually freaking out about this - you really shouldn't. I understand the Ojo thing was kind of expected but still. I expected more people to lose their shit. Does anyone out there really, genuinely think we have a lower budget, House settlement and NIL, than Michigan, tOSU, TAMU, and freaking Tech? We just got a kid that Oregon considered a "must have."

I really think that, due to NIL and House shit, there will be more flips than ever this recruiting season as players are re-assessed during additional evals and senior seasons and offers are "amended." I also think that we're keeping a significant portion of our powder dry for guys we feel that we cannot afford to lose. Ojo, who has now received about 18 comparisons to Javonne Shepherd, clearly does not fit in that category. Go get that bag, young man - I don't blame you one bit. Maybe we circle back for Lamar Brown, Xavier Griffin, and/or Jalen Lott (though I doubt it for all of them except maybe Griffin, tbh). Remember when Tech tried to outbid us for Quinn Ewers and we dragged our sweaty, unwashed balls over their face?

But there will be flips and huge momentum shifts. Big ones.  Just ask Jonah Williams, Justus Terry, Kade Phillips, and Josiah Sharma. And some guy named Xavier Worthy

Don’t worry, there will be plenty of freaking out when he actually commits to tech.

Why didn't they buy a good QB?  Double Eagle?  More like double dumbass.

Playing for Tech would be disappointing.  Losing blows, and getting injured for a team that sucks while getting paid is fine for some. I don't know what Tech's depth is like--may be able to promise starting time or a shorter wait to see the field.  Don't know, don't care.  What we do know is that Tech won't be playing for anything, and plays in a conference that won't be fielding anybody playing for anything. But if being part of a winning culture and demonstrable development is something that matters, then there's a transfer portal available.  So it goes.

I’m agreed with y’all about Ojo, but shit talking the Big 12 just feels Aggie. The Big 12 champ took us to double overtime. And that ASU squad lost to Tech. 

To be clear, Tech sucks and will always suck but they’re in the rearview along with the rest of that conference. I’m not going to badmouth the Big 12 any more than I would the ACC. 

Personally, I would still be happy if Ojo were in the boat. Flood wants him and was willing to make him a decent offer, and that’s enough for me. But what I don’t want to do is overpay for a guy with a bad attitude and a long developmental curve. Take that money and give it to someone who is either more talented or willing to put in the work. 

Basically, sounds like this dude is fat Micah Hudson. He should the money vaya con dios to Lubbock, because it doesn’t seem like he’s a good fit for our program.
