Right now on this board, one of us reading and posting on here is the dumbest of all of us. Half of us are dumber than the rest of us. I feel pretty confident that I am not the dumbest. I feel pretty good about being above what we've all come to call the "BurntOrange&White Line" in which I'm above the 50% cutoff. The seas really get rockier from there. Some of you have truly dizzying intellects. 

I considered myself middle of the road relative to the posters on this board, but if BOW is the midpoint I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

Honestly a little rougher than I would've thought. There might only end up being 1 guy that's more than just a mid- or late-round dart throw for the NFL. Probably the last good chances are for Guilbeau to blow up this year, or Neto to have a very good next two years. I assume that Campbell is what he is at this point.

7 out of 8 out of states transferred out. The one out of state still on the roster is the deep snapper. That's not meant as an indictment on recruiting out of state. What I'd argue is it emphasizes how important going out to these high schools, establishing relationships, and making long term investments in these players and families is. I don't think of any of these cats as character issues, but we needed some bodies. I think the evaluation process is a lot deeper now, and we can swing a bit for the fences in ways we didn't have the cache to do so for the 2022 class. 

I forgot Terrance Brooks was John Mateer's teammate in high school. Mostly because I didn't care who John Mateer was at the time. 

I think my biggest takeaway is to cement how big of a boon it has been to have the combination of the portal and NIL in terms of transforming the roster. Not just in terms of upgrading the talent, but in terms of creating a natural attrition where players who wouldn't have been able to be productive SEC players at a high level are encouraged to find playing time elsewhere. Those can be uncomfortable conversations. Better to be able to have a realistic evaluation where we're pointing out the guy next to you is simply better than you, than to simply say you're not good enough and we need to recruit someone better to take your place.

Hate to get off topic but we happy with this Kreul guy. Seems like he might not want to sit and develop. Florida kid getting homesick after a year type.

They have this NIL thing figured out. Nagy is a secret weapon. He's going to moneyball this whole process. He has a team of top men - TOP MEN - doing independent evaluations that are 4th dimension compared to recruiting services' 2d model. 

All he needs to do now is get Venables fired because the man can't coach his incredible talent evaluations into a championship level team. I'm excited to see who that happens to be, and if he can get that guy fired, too, or if he's finally swept out with a broom when it's proven his model is dogshit. While I want both Nagy and Venables there for a long time, if I had to choose one, it's Nagy with a bullet.

Care a little bit but still fucked OU, so don't care. Not a big Kreul fan.

He's already going to boarding school at IMG, he's from Orlando, so the distance thing will probably feel pretty normal. 

"Seems like he might not want to sit and develop" why? He does love social media, but you have to imagine the IMG machine knows how to read a depth chart.

The frame issue seems real. He might be a one trick pony, but if the trick is good, who cares?

Name is vaguely familiar, but I really don’t remember much about this recruitment. I assume we’re just included here so he can say he chose whomever over Texas?

If you didn’t even visit, keep our hat off your table.

That is only about a 2 hour drive. 

Well yeah, but it's a lot different in terms of likely homesickness than being some kid who's never left his hometown.

This guy has zero opportunity cost associated with him. He’s not costing Texas some other option, he’s been mentally and emotionally evaluated and they’re fine with him, and the NIL isn’t bankrupting the program. It’s bizarre watching people worry over this one.
