6'5", 240 lbs
This is the 3* OL who is all-conference in the P5 four years later and all the recruiting "gurus" explain his ranking with "How were we supposed to know that a 17-year-old could put on 50 pounds of good mass before he turned 21? I mean, sure, it happens all the fucking time but we're not psychics!"

Can’t say I’m super excited about taking a lot of players early but I guess that’s just how it is now. Better than telling the kids to take their time like we have been.
The key will be getting good at letting commits go if they don't develop, get worse (eat too much), or are surpassed. We did it with Demariyon Houston but it's a very delicate situation. Not everyone can just say "go find another school now" like Saban can. Our strategy is apparently to stop contacting a recruit until they figure it out.
The only issue there is that when you target a core group like these Katy guys who are all super tight, you're basically locked in on those guys. If you cut bait on one of them then you obviously endanger all of those commitments.

It's a bit strange to me that they're playing the final game at 10:00am today. That field faces east-northeast. Even if it was so teams would know that Tuesday night was the last night they'd need their hotel rooms they still could have scheduled it for 1:00 or something. Although I guess heat is a concern then, we just got lucky with the cool front.

The rankings should correlate very closely to the draft, I get the logic, but the rankings for college football recruiting should absolutely be based on potential in college.
Tommie Frazier should have been a 5-star recruit, regardless of whether or not he had any NFL potential. These days there aren't any big time programs running the option, but if a kid projects well to big-time college football but not the NFL he shouldn't be downgraded because of that.

He's going to play out the whole process. Conner committed today, Adeleye isn't going to be done for 18 months.

Plus he chose us in large part for our aeronautical engineering program. They lost a kid on engineering academics 😂.
As a Texas engineering grad in Cypress, I've enjoyed pointing out engineering school rankings to A&M grads about a dozen times so far. Most of them literally struggle to process the information because it's against everything they've been sold in their lives. I mean not upset or angry, just actually confused.
All I say is "we're a better engineering school, it's just that we don't brag about ourselves all the time."
That's when they start getting angry.

Definitely.
WHLL is in a weird spot now. They play Lamar National in an elimination game tonight and would have to win that then beat POLL twice in a row. They beat Lamar National 15-0 in three innings in their first game and you have to think that was against Lamar's #2 pitcher if not their #1. Do you start a back end pitcher tonight to save arms for Post Oak? I think you have to if the goal is to win the tournament, not just be the 2nd place team.
Obviously the task is daunting at best and POLL is a very heavy favorite to advance. Just thinking about it strategically.

I’m really happy we got Milroe over Stone but a quick glance at his brother’s ranking history on 247 says this isn’t true.
He got to #218 in the country between his sophomore and junior seasons and finished ranked #766. Obviously futureman is going to futureman, but Lindell Stone definitely dropped like a, um, rock, in the rankings his last two seasons.

Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi
in 🤫$9.95🤫
No need to respond to those clowns. Already showed last year that Texas commits had no 247 bump, plus their preference for fat OL who will suck in college has already been well established.
