  1. On the off chance that the Perkins announcement is a commitment and not a new top 16, that would be a surprise as far as his expected timeline right? He only has two CBs on his page, the requisite aggy picks from their 247 writers.
  2. The aggies appointing themselves as the arbiters of "fake hype" will never not be hilarious.
  3. Not writing him off at all and I hope he sticks in the class (in a two back class with Miller), but come on. It was never really about saving his body for the next level. He's already been talking about finding a place to play his senior year and rebuilding bridges with his previous coaches. He quit because of a fight with the coaches/was kicked off the team and tried to frame it as an opt-out.
  4. IT basically predicted as long as there wasn't word of a weird vibe coming out of the visit Anderson would be in. We kind of made fun of them for that analysis but hopefully they were at least right. Seems like there have been a couple teases about big-things with no follow-up. Gerry implied something big was happening on Saturday and then never really expanded on it. Roach mentioned rumblings that he didn't quite believe yet last night and then didn't really allude to anything in his writeup today. Just generally chumming the water I guess.
  5. Yeah...Saban and Bama can sell itself at this point but the Brocks signed up to play on Flood's OL in Sark's offense. If they were class of '22 or '23 they would probably have been Longhorns.
  6. Not sure, I don’t know if it’s a silent necessarily. Hopefully it’s a commitment that is going public soon. Just waiting on a edit or peak Twitter hours or whatever.
  7. https://247sports.com/player/johntay-cook-ii-46086827/ Can’t be a bad thing.
  8. In the thread Nahlin claimed that coming off his Texas visit high Harris almost cancelled his Alabama trip.
  9. I don't know the specifics Valai or others are using to negatively recruit but it's safe to assume it has just as much to do with fans/alumni response as the continued use of the Eyes. For example plenty on the board still don't even seem to have a good handle on what the actual issue was. No CL and not meant as a thread derail, but the official report is really worth the read if you have even a passing interest. It was well done IMO and an interesting University history at the least: https://eyesoftexas.utexas.edu/full-report/
  10. Prayers up that he didn't finally have an erotic asphyxiation accident after seeing it. Always use a spotter people.
  11. I'm curious about the interplay of Becton's mobility and functional athleticism approach vs. Flood's preference of size and strength. Probably no big deal because the whole thing is reductive. A strength program will obviously have different goals for different position groups (and even individual players) but the messaging from the 9.95ers do seem at odds a bit.
  12. Champion of small government.
  13. Uh, defending other teams in the Big12 like I give a shit whether they are respected makes my skin crawl, but claiming ISU would be last in the SEC West is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen written on that board. Which is really saying something. I guess they were too busy celebrating the greatest moral victory season of all time last year to notice that division was objectively shitty last season.
  14. https://theathletic.com/2664654/2021/06/23/texas-embraces-steve-sarkisians-all-gas-no-brakes-m-o-in-the-horns-latest-go-at-restoring-the-programs-glory/ For the "Kai Money is one of our best players, we can expect to win more than 7 games" crowd:
  15. I'm assuming Damion Miller has given up football? Looks like he was on TJC's roster in '19 but I don't see anything more recent. Wonder if he'll be tagging along with the family for the visit, has to be tough.
  16. The Athletic has a series that does it (we didn't make the top25 of the 2016 re-rank): Most of those in the top 25 have a "hit rate" of 75% or higher. By my count, 23% of the 2019 Texas recruiting class never played a single live snap at UT.
  17. Start panicking when our targets start committing to other schools. Nobody is committing to anywhere right now, June pledges are way down from previous cycles across the county. It's not a normal year for recruiting.
  18. I mean, holy shit. https://247sports.com/college/texas/season/2019-football/commits/ Out of 26 signees, 8 transfers (assuming Smith is gone) and 3 medical retirements. Whit has been the most productive out of the top 10 guys signed and he's barely been able to stay on the field. Adimora probably has played the most out of anyone in the class. Just unbelievably bad.
  19. He's had one foot out of the door since the day he enrolled, often hurt and he only seems moderately interested when he is available. He can enjoy USC.
  20. Maybe after a stop somewhere else first. I guess he had a TCU offer but he's going to have to show he's good enough at football before those big hearted HCs (figuratively and literally in the case of Pat) decide he's actually a great kid that deserves a second chance.
  21. This is hilariously irrelevant. Is this your first year following spring football?
  22. Yeah, what the computer said. Saban regularly had offenses with multiple first rounds picks on the OL, and Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy, and Trent Richardson all on the same team that would finish outside the top 20 in yards and points. It wasn't until he hired Kiffin that things really took off for their offense and they peaked last season under Sark. I think it's safe to say Washington was pretty below average talent that he inherited. USC is it's own deal. It's also worth noting that he didn't call the plays at those stops and he's called that a mistake that he won't be making again. Guy knows his strengths as a coach and has learned from his missteps along the way. We have enough talent where the only thing he should have to do with Money and Brewer is figure out their proper placement for a nice senior day ovation. That said...yeah fine it's probably not a bad idea to hold off on sucking each other's dick after the decade plus we've had. It's silly to act like his offensive reputation is solely based on Saban's 5stars though.
  23. The Warriors missed the playoffs because they didn’t get a single game from their 2nd best player and the huge cap number he ties up (minus the relatively small exception they got back). I think it may be a little reductive to say the Jazz were bounced because Rudy is overplayed but he did have a bad series. Agree, the 76ers loss is all on Simmons
