Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
I still don't understand how they calculate the rankings. According to 247, Georgia has more commits than Texas, one more 5-star than Texas, five more 4 stars, and somehow we're still ranked higher? I love the optics of it, but I don't understand how that math works.

Holy shit. That's a fucking relief.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make in your first sentence. Position coaches don't recruit in a silo. They're supported by a staff. I can understand criticism of Baker the recruiter if we only land one DT, but it's a group effort. But why wouldn't Kenny Baker get credit for Broughton and Collins' play this year? I've still got some concerns with Baker as a recruiter, but the unit's performance this year has exceeded almost everyone's expectations, and he should get some credit for that.

That's probably why he said "staff" and not Kenny Baker specifically.

Factually incorrect as well. Edit - I guess he's going by 247's own ratings rather than the composite for either main site.

It's a live stream with a public chat where the Fawcett post was being discussed. He had to acknowledge it. I seriously doubt M. Terry gives a shit.

Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)
Made a curried lentil stew with kale, yellow potatoes, chickpeas, and carrots last night. Was pretty damn good with a side of garlic naan.

This really doesn't seem like an argument worth filling the next page and a half with pedantic corrections of OL recruiting timelines three years ago and what constitutes legitimate NIL vs. bag dropping.

Yep. I've thought the same thing about him in the past. How the fuck do you eat your neck away in a decade? Especially when you your job is working in world class exercise facilities and access to nutritionists? Work in a salad, a mile on the treadmill, and a couple of sets every day, fatass.

If Elko would have been an OL in college, his body might make sense. But he played safety at Penn. He was an elite athlete (compared to the general population) and now he's a fat fuck. I'm only a few month younger than him, and if one of my college buddies went from college safety to 350lbs+ in the last two decades, I'd have a sit-down with him about his health. The only way his weight gain makes sense is if he's actively trying to turn into jabba the hut.

w/r/t to the "big name" they're keeping secret, tt's not Terry because he specifically said it was a high-profile flip. Terry is currently uncommitted. Or at least that's how I read it. Doesn't mean we won't get crazy with Terry too.

There were lots of studs this year too…

Losing two DTs for a WR and an Edge is not a good trade when you only have one other DT committed and he's also looking around a bit. So I'd rate that trade as pretty shitty.

They could have had 1989 Bo Jackson in the backfield and they wouldn't have got that yard the way Broughton and Burke blew it up.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Is the consensus now that DJ Campbell is returning for his senior year? Earlier this season I seem to recall reading the staff was expecting a total overhaul of the OL after this season. At the time, and still today, I thought it was absurd that Campbell would enter the draft. Guess he's come to his senses?

Are existing commits renegotiating the deals they agreed to?

I don’t know man. She wasn’t in good health at 19. Shit, she was so hungry she ate paper. Unless she made some changes, she might not even be around anymore.
