Some of you still base your opinions on recruits by stars assigned by folks that are mostly unqualified to do so. This staff has shown they can evaluate and develop. If they want a recruit you should be excited when they commit. Bunch of star fuckers up in this bitch.

Didn’t we have pictures of one of our assholes running around in a pedo bear suit at a bowl game they played in Dallas on the other site? Looked it up to see if they’ve played in a bowl game there “recently,” and they lost to Houston in the 2012 Ticket City Bowl at the Cotton Bowl. 

props where deserved @Ghost of LL

Taaffe? 

He had the same 200 times as Guilbeau and runs about a 4.4 40 and is a strong tackler. Since he isn’t huge, I imagine that he may be a nickel candidate - Maybe safety though.

To be fair, every class has three stars that don’t pan out, and a blanket “trust the corches” starts to weave towards the Aggie excuse theme. 

This staff definitely deserves latitude as they’ve shown an ability to pick and develop three stars. But there’s always more excitement when they bag one of the top acknowledged great 4 and 5 star recruits. As there should be. There’s less guesswork with most of those guys. 

Watch the film, though!

Well, Texas took another three star recruit on Friday. Austin Anderson defensive back Yaheim Riley is not among the top 100 players in the country  by any service. Even more, he’s not even ranked among the top 100 players in the state by at least one.

So what in the world are Steve Sarkisian and Brandon Harris thinking? I mean, Texas should only be going after four and five stars. Right?

Wrong.

Just ask Cam Williams, Cole Hutson and Ethan Burke from the 2022 recruiting class. Or ask Tre Wisner and Trevor Goosby from the 2023 class.

How would this Longhorn roster look without Alex January, Parker Livingstone, Ty’Anthony Smith, Nate Kibble and others from the 2024 class?

Heck, even ask three more NFL draft picks from the class of 2021 - Hayden Connor, Gunnar Helm and Barryn Sorrell.

Facts are, “stars” mean little these days when it comes to Texas football. What matters most is a) the eye for talent that Sark and his staff seem to have and b) the development they bestow on the recruits once they arrive on campus.

Look, I was one of the inventors of the star-based ranking system. Literally.

I was in the room when we decided to go with “stars” instead of “chips” or “diamonds”.

I am well aware of the statistical probability that they result in.

But I have long held that 3 star prospects who sign with elite programs, programs like Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, etc., also have a disproportionate chance of making the NFL than 3 stars that sign elsewhere.

Why?

Because certain programs get more of the players they want, no matter where a player is ranked. Sure, there are “hits” and “misses” of three stars. But the exact same could be said for four and five stars.

I feel more confident than ever when Texas adds a three stars recruit. Maybe star chasers will disagree.

But to them, I say look at Sark’s track record at Texas. And look at Yaheim Riley’s film.

If Riley is a three star, then give me all of those I can get.

 

 

In addition to our 3 stars they posted some recent class examples from other programs in terms of 3 stars....obviously this will vary by year.

Mack took three stars late in the class, trying to fill it. 
 
Sark is taking three stars early, and foregoing available four stars to do it. Completely different thing.

Mack took 3 star whites in wheel chairs in early February.

So you are saying that if I pick 6 at the bar early, I should take that as the equivalent of a 9/10, but if I take a 6 at the end of the night I’m desperate?

It depends. Are you one smooth motherfucker? If so, yes. You are probably taking that 6, early, because you are aware of traits that raise her worthiness.

Gotta have a 6 to make a 69 amigo.

Take the 6 early, put in a couple hours, get her an uber home, and then go back and bring the 9/10 home for the rest of the evening.

Berymon seems like a solid take. But the Florida guy is a beast. 

Depends on how you look at it. Berymon is a better player on tape - he is much quicker and more tenacious. However, Guervil is 3.5" taller and weighs more. I would go with Berymon but with our large humans concept, the choice I guess is Guervil. He won't be as disruptive, but I guess he will be harder to move.
