Lamar Brown is scripting a perfect playbook on how to get paid even when the ultimate conclusion is inevitable.

Give the man his flowers.

I can’t deal with another last minute “Texas is leading!!!” rug pull

That’s what it feels like this is. All the picks are still coming in Baylor.
 

Feels like bullshit from Spiegelman.

Thanks. That’s what I assumed going into today, but everyone wants to hype up a “win” against Texas, so we get fake drama.

Has any program had such great sustained success leading to such an outcome recently?

 

So is recruiting gonna get boosted by 3 playoff appearances?  4?  Will it even get a boost with a title?

Its clear the money is tied up or Texas decision makers don't want to commit money this summer out of fear.

 

We need to cleanse our minds of any success at all helping anything at all into the future. 

We need to step away from the jump to conclusions mat.

There is no way to accurately speculate what the future is going to bring other than it's going to be very different than what it is now. Acting is if this is the final form of college sports - and college football specifically - and even more specifically, college football recruiting - is silly.

Eventually there will be some kind of federal legislation, because that's the only avenue that can bring some resemblance of stability. Until then the whole ecosystem is going to be whipsawed from one direction into another based on the most recent court cases/settlements, new state laws passed to give the local programs a competitive advantage, and how different programs find ways around various restrictions. 

But acting like what has been going on the last few weeks is a harbinger of what the future will look like is silly. At the end of the day any sales pitch needs the opportunity to get your foot in the door. Relationships still matter. They always will. Success on the gridiron will make a difference. But when we're talking about millions of dollars being thrown around for individual players, of course that's going to often trump how many playoff appearances, NFL draft picks, or individual accolades are being earned. But it doesn't mean they don't matter at all.

Who amongst us would be capable of turning away an offer to play for Baylor. In Waco.

I mean, who doesn’t like white girls?

All of these guys picking Florida now will be ripe for the pickings in December when Florida finishes 6-6/7-5 and fires Sun Belt Billy

We better beat that ass in the Swamp to really make them start doubting their decision

No, but Big Jim (Chris) is why we were there.  We also went up for a month in summer 96 - insane collection of football players at CU then.  I didn't go to LP, Shaun and I grew up in Bible Way church together, our dads were in camp together in Oakland and maintained a friendship and worked out together.  To this day, having played with and against some incredible ballplayers, Chris is one of the best athletes I've ever actually been around.  I wish he would've locked in.  Neuheisel took the players' coach deal a little too far and had no controls on that team. 

I played against Anderson in HS. We scrimmaged them every year before game one. He covered me when we were seniors. I assumed he’d have done well at CU, but I don’t remember seeing him play much. Good shit talker on the field though.

Who’s the last guy from Temple who was actually a college difference maker? Kenneth Davis? Joe Greene? Edited to add the San Diego Drop King, Quentin Johnston, who did well enough in college to be a high first rounder. And not hating on Ta’Quon Graham, good player for us and a great teammate.

To tie this back into Texas recruiting, the 96' summer is for me is a great reminder as to why Sark is doing things the right way.  We were there when Ryan Nunez got to CU.  It was obvious that the kid was talented enough to be impactful in the return game, even with Rae Carruth and James Kidd being on the roster.  What was also evident was that the locker room wasn't conducive to a guy with Nunez' mental makeup lasting there.   I saw more criminal shit in that summer than I've seen my entire life.  Locker room/Weight room fights were commonplace and even encouraged.  There was a legitimate national recruiting footprint, and as a consequence, each region wanted to show they were the toughest.  There's a not so fine line between Tebow's Florida and the Florida we see now.  Unfortunately, coaches do have to consider who are "Our types of guys", just as much as you look at measurables.

Played behind Westbrook and Carruth his first couple years.  He played lots his junior and senior years.  Ate himself to tight end frame, but didn't love to block.  You're right, talked a ton of shit.

Apparently this played a role in Turntine not going to Michigan. Didn't like the way the players he met treated him as lesser than because he was from Texas. Which is interesting because they have several Texas commits already.

🙄 Media is openly cheering for Texas to get fucked over in these types of recruitments, all in the name of 'parity'. Sark hasn't even won a national title yet and we're already getting cast as the evil bad guys of CFB again.

Tell me you've never been to Lubbock without telling me you've never been to Lubbock, Dan.

This shit can get crazy if a kid doesn't have a mindset that embraces proving toughness outside the lines.  This is the kind of thing coaches can't talk about, and don't normally even know about until the strength coach says something.  I've seen Andre Jones and folks of that ilk talked about on this thread - when you're recruiting in the Southeast (namely Louisiana, Georgia and Florida), you will inevitably introduce a good number of kids whose socioeconomics lend to these behaviors.  Don't want to CR this thread, but it's a reality, one that the GM and coaches have to be considering.  Once you expand that to California, DC, etc - those regional "beefs" are extrapolated. I love what the staff is doing with casting a wider web, but this is a huge consideration in doing so.

I’m assuming you have knowledge this shooting is related to the recruit “who shall not be named.”  Seems he left the scene, so I’m wondering if he’s since been located. I’ll bet they find the gun in da bag.

I think Georgia’s alternative facts shows that the noise heard was just fireworks…..something….something…boom.
