This kid seems like everything you'd want in a player.

Oakland AA player of the year in HS, Honor student, seemingly has his head on straight, focused on getting an education in case he can't go pro.  

I mean, obviously I don't know him personally, but the more I read about him the more I like him.

Honestly, no matter where he ends up, I'll root for him.

Sorry to derail this thread so this will be my last post here and any further ones will be on the Surly kids who didn’t go to UT one…

Yea, never had been to Fayettenam until last year but the old town by campus is great and reminded me of Austin the the 80’s when I attended UT and will probably buy a house there for the kid to live in next year.  

@irishtexan - yea, kid does manual labor as a job now and benches 300# at18 (no ‘roids)  But won’t need to swing a shovel as he can use his trust fund to hire someone to dig a ditch for him if needed…

Pics?

Ran 10.67 in ‘22. So he obviously has some elite traits.

So by swapping Cole for Brooks is Texas net better, worse or the same at CB?

Better, he turns his head when the ball is in the air.

I'm sure we'll coach that right out of him

Better.

From watching is HS tape you can see he has natural coverage instincts, which is great, because Joseph doesn't teach technique.

Random, but does anyone actually read the commit threads? It's the same pictures and memes posted over and over. Sometimes I forget, looking for actual discussion/information about the player. Nope.

No and I've considered putting all the same pictures in 1 post just to see if the same people still do the same thing

Feel like I was one of the last holdouts to actually make posts on those.  At some point they turned into gif celebrations instead of articles/discussion on the player.

Which sicks because those were great to bump after 5 years.

Nope, I quit because of that. We used to have a few posters that broke down film of commits. Names seem to escape me, but I haven't seen it in a long time.

I still fall for it every time.

The best is when it's like Lance St. Louis, or Max Merrill, and there are a bunch of gifs of people passing out from excitement, people having orgasms, etc. 

You could switch the subject line of one of those with Arch Manning's and probably not tell the difference.

Can he show the other guys how to do that, too?

I made a post about this before it just fell on deaf ears. Although usually about page 3 if the thread makes it there does turn into pure discussion about the player. Then after they are playing there is usually a thread in football started regarding them.

Plenty of people offered their opinions on those threads some time back. Folks here probably many of those that post on those threads have known about the kid way before he commits and don't need information. Also, there is plenty of sites that provide free insightful summary information about the kid and is usually part of the first post announcing the commitment. Those threads are I was here when it happened graffiti that is enjoyable to those of us that use them and ugly to those that don't like them at all. I can see both sides of the argument because I hate graffiti.

On the one hand those individual commitment threads are pointless and pretty gross. Just a bunch of the thirsty weirdos on here spamming and reacting with drooling to the same tired memes and sex gifs they've seen posted by the same people a hundred times before...     but I'd still prefer that happen THERE as opposed to in the actual relevant recruitment threads. So I guess if nothing else they serve the purpose of quarantining the creeper spam a bit.

SIAP...  michigan considering Terrance Brooks

Quote

Michigan transfer portal: Wolverines show interest in cornerback, special teamer

Story by Clayton Sayfie       5hrs ago

Michigan Wolverines footballis looking to add to its roster with talent from the NCAA transfer portal, and a new cornerback target has emerged. According to The Wolverine sources, the Maize and Blue have shown interest in Texas transfer Terrance Brooks.

The 6-foot, 200-pounder played two seasons with the Longhorns and has two years of eligibility remaining. Brooks is the No. 8 overall player and second-best cornerback that’s available in the transfer portal, according to On3’s rankings.

Brooks is coming off a standout season for the Longhorns, which earned him an honorable mention All-Big 12 nod. He played in 14 outings with 13 starts, totaling 20 tackles, tying for the team’s lead with 3 interceptions and adding 6 pass breakups.

The Little Elm, Texas, native posted a 60.9 PFF coverage grade, which ranked 40th in the Big 12 among cornerbacks with 120 or more coverage snaps. He allowed 20 receptions for 352 yards and 2 touchdowns on 45 targets. His 81.3 tackling rating ranked second on the Texas defense.

Despite possessing an elite defensive line, the weakness of the Texas defense was against the pass, allowing 7.1 yards per throw (tied 53rd nationally) and 254.4 passing yards per game (116th).

The Michigan transfer target opened three of his nine appearances as a freshman in 2022, totaling 9 tackles and 3 pass breakups.

A Little Elm (Texas) High product, Brooks was a four-star recruit and the nation’s No. 56 overall player in the 2022 class, per the On3 Industry Ranking. He was the seventh-best cornerback in the country and ninth-best prospect in Texas.

Texas plays at Michigan Sept. 7.

Michigan reaches out to return man Blake Hester

Sources tell The Wolverinethat Michigan special teams coordinator J.B. Brownhas showed interest in Akron running back Blake Hester, a return specialist who handled kicks for the Zips last season. Sources say that Michigan would have a strong chance of adding Hester if the Wolverines push, but it’s unclear if they will do so. So far, there have just been preliminary conversations.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Ashland, Ky., product had 31 kickoff returns for 579 yards with a 47-yard long against Morgan State. His 18.7-yard average ranked seventh in the MAC last season among players with 1.2 or more returns per game.

Hester rushed for 10 yards on 3 rushes in 2022. He racked up 274 yards and 2 touchdowns on 65 carries in 2021. Hester spent four years at Akron and has one year of eligibility remaining.

40th in the big 12!! Ewers and Sark think that would be a great get for Michigans upcoming season

His issue was blowing assignments, understanding down+distance, and taking plays off.  He's okay physically, so maybe this will be a wake up for him.
