Carthage RB KJ Edwards tells me he’s canceled his Texas OV following his trip to Texas A&M.

The Aggies have prioritized Edwards for the longest and loves the loyalty.

Texas is working to get that OV back.

I’ll have more later.

Oof... wasn't expecting that one.  Gotta put all of our eggs in the Crowell or Cooper basket now because we parted way with Osborne and Lattimer.

Wasn't it Osborne who parted ways with us?

Haven't followed the Latimer recruitment in a while and I see all 3 crystal balls are for....Wisconsin? That recruitment seemed to change in a hurry.

Osborne and Latimer were Choice's top two, and neither had much of a relationship with Scott (not did Scott seem particularly enthused in their direction).

Two RBs in this class seemed unlikely considering who we were recruiting and our current depth chart. Cooper has yet to lock in an OV so it appears we HAVE to go all in on Crowell to secure that commitment.

@closetojumping I know you mentioned aggy is throwing stupid offers.  Let's say this do the same with one of Turntine/Ojo as well.  How does Texas generally deal with someone like aggy moving the goalposts to get prospects?  I can't imagine Texas is going to sit back and go to their plan Bs for multiple guys at the top of their boards.  Do you see Texas matching these offers or moving on to another guy that will accept what they have allocated for the position from a NIL standpoint?  Basically, what is the general plan when aggy gets desperate and throws stupid offers for multiple guys?

My initial thinking is that they might be using the majority of the House allocation for recruiting. That would be fucking nuts. 

As to your question, I don't know. They went apeshit with the 2022 class before NIL was fully formed. They bought that class for like $8M and left everyone scratching their heads and vowing vengeance. 

This time around, they don't have some endless spigot and everyone else is overtly paying players, too. They might be catching Texas off guard with wild offers for Texas targets out of the blue here. Turntine and Krempin wouldn't surprise me, as I said, because they're trying to go nuts against the Texas head to heads. I can't say Ojo would be anything but a complete shocker. I'm also questioning how sustainable this is for the duration of the cycle if Texas decides to ramp up. Problem is, that might risk blowing up rooms and the roster, so that might be really stupid. If ATM is saying sayonara to their pre-existing roster for the sake of recruits after this season, good luck with that approach. 

Regardless, this is following the template of the 2022 class and the same money isn't behind it. These idiots might really be using the House deal mostly for recruiting 2026 players. 

Obviously, this season is going to matter a whole fucking bunch. Players don't want to go somewhere mediocre and be mediocre, no matter how much money is being thrown at them.

June OV recruiting season is not for the faint of heart.

On the other hand, happy feeding season for all the recruiting energy vampires.

I said the other day it seemed like we weren’t swinging our D. Something seems weird this cycle. 

I think it’s more an issue of other schools being desperate and doing illogical things as we work a more logical, less desperate plan. We will either have to adjust the plan or settle for what’s left. Or be patient until the season plays out and aggy and usc suck shit through straws.

Um, do you remember last 4th of July? The goddamn sky was falling. A great season and the strong recruiting finish has erased your memory.

Here we go again freaking out during the dog days of summer just like last year. 

I do love the idea that the year we have a fucking Manning hype train playing QB and it's legal to pay players is the year we finally won't have a top class. That tracks.

Benefits of have a mediocre roster is that it doesn’t cost you anything to retain it.

We have the privilege of being able to stay patient in recruiting and that aligns with Sark’s strategy. Nobody should be worried in the least bit. 

It's like the monkey brained dipshits aren't capable of memories past 12 months. You would think making fools out of themselves the last 3 summers would finally click some sort of dim bulb in their heads. 

I can see why this country keeps making stupid choices over and over again.
