    Nahlin says JJR isn't announcing tonight
  2. Bodacious Bevo
    What? That's someone sharing Nahlin's post on the LSU board. He was throwing shade at Ketch
  3. Bodacious Bevo
    fwiw the slow people he's referring to are OB. Ketch (allegedly, I wouldn't know) said on a stream that 60% doesn't mean anything, it's a coin flip, not a real prediction, w/e

    Langi wrote an article about it on IT before the visit This is part of the larger issue with using the NFL draft to grade ranking. There are a ton of variables that affect draft prospects that are not at all relevant to a high schools football player's ability, however you define that. School, head coach, position, position coach, S&C, etc. Somewhat related, I think a lot of the shifting variables in CFB right now increase the importance of evaluation compared to recruiting.

    Looks like that's the fong prediction for Weston Davis. You can see OT 15 and TX 35 at the top, which is where Davis is ranked.

    I think concerns about TE are a little overblown. Yes it will suck to lose JT and not have someone of his caliber, but an elite TE isn't really necessary to have a great offense. Let's not forget that Sark's 2020 bama offense was incredible with Miller Forristall and Jahleel Billingsley as his top two options.

    Gerry has said Calhoun is a tackle, fwiw.

    a quarter of the posts are just people talking about how much fun the thread is

    I think we agree here. I'm saying Simmons is great but not at the expense of the rest of the roster. I know the other guys I mentioned are at other positions. That's why their individual value is lower but collectively it could be higher. Von is great but the point is he was a super bowl MVP and eventually still let go because of the contract he wanted. And Simmons, no matter how highly ranked, still has like a 33% chance of busting in college. He isn't a known quantity in the same way an NFL vet is. More generally, equifinality reigns. A place like Texas shouldn't get locked into a position of "oh we have to do X in order to succeed." There are many paths to a championship available to us. Let's not overextend ourselves on a single one. That's how you end up in aggy's situation.

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but one of the guys you mentioned (Von Miller) also shows that even the most valuable players can't always be retained because resources are finite. Otherwise he wouldn't be in Buffalo. I think it makes perfect sense to not overspend on Simmons if it allows for us to grab other priorities like McKinley, Robinson, etc. We don't know any of the actual numbers on this board so we can't really make informed opinions, tbh.

    So, just for follow up, this class is about the best case realistic scenario currently, minus Simmons and the high end OOS guys we're after. 21 commits with a 279.54 rating. So we're really not too far off. Just closing on the guys we look good for would be a really good start. Top five is usually 290+, top 3 is usually 300+. There's probably around five spots left in the class. Definitely some for OL, probably another IDL and WR, then BPAs. So, our best path to a top 3-5 would be Simmons, the OL, and maybe pulling off a random five star or taking some extra guys. Add Simmons and Mormon Johnny = 290.57. Add Daniel Calhoun and Brandon Baker = 301.20. Hearing they're confident about OL is a good sign. Oh and by the way UGA's class is already at an absurd 278.85 with 17 commits.

    It didn't quite reach the mythical status that the aggies have assigned to theirs, but it was the kickoff point for the 2018 class coming together and it was hyped as our big event the next couple years. The hype (for us) was really about all the prospects that are coming in for it though. Every school is going to have some kind of thing to do for their big OV weekends and pool parties are easy enough to do. So I guess the 'pool party' itself wasn't as prevalent in our dialogue but it was just a big recruiting weekend. There are some between our 18/19/20 and their 22/23/24: 18/22: Some momentum in spring, big weekend comes together and kicks off a ton off momentum (Sterns flip/bags of cash), everyone happy 19/23: Less enthusiasm (coming off 7-5/8-4) but still fixable, pool party is a chance to recover momentum 20/24: we had the sugar bowl to sell but still couldn't make headway, they're coming off 5-7

    We did the same thing with success back in 18/19. It was on campus at greg, not an apartment complex, but it's not that weird. The way they talk about it is weird though.

    IIRC his junior year was a spring league with only 6 games due to COVID and his senior year was normal. His team and competition were all kind of a wash. Didn't play much as a sophomore. He's been in training/camps/etc forever but doesn't have as many reps as most. I think he committed before even being a varsity starter.

    Also, there's still value in having some OKGs in the class. There are a lot of theories out there on the causes and consequences of turnover (e.g., transfers and graduates). I'll spare the details but the names will give you the gist of it: person-organization fit, organizational commitment, leader-member exchange, etc. Culture is kind of a boogey man in sports, but it's a very real thing. And having some guys that are more likely to stick around at a high turnover position that's usually filled with divas can't hurt. I don't know if Livingstone is that guy, but IIRC he was a Texas fan growing up so that's at least a start.

    woah woah let's noot forget Marcus Washington and Kennedy Lewis
  17. Bodacious Bevo
    The position numbers add up to 26 but I just listed the top targets I could think of. DL especially is a crap shoot right now
  18. Bodacious Bevo
    made some edits with strikethrough and italics And of course we'll probably find a couple kids that rise their senior year
  19. Bodacious Bevo
    Ah yes, that game and comeback was super fun until Nick fucking Rose shanked the tying PAT Heard's performance was an unfortunate casualty of my repression of that game. Was.

    This is not meant as an answer to your question - I heard that the guy whose name you misspelled was considering transferring (not for tampering/PT/NIL reasons) but that Sark talked him out of it during the spring exit interview. Sharing as it's another positive data point for the culture.

    The Bailey pickup makes some sense. 2400 career rushing yards and they really need experienced depth at the position. The other reason it makes sense is hilarious. He started his career at Boston College in 2018 for one Coach Steve Addazio. Played three seasons there and then transferred to Colorado State in 2021, which was led by Coach Steve Addazio. Now he gets to finish his career at A&M playing for Jimbo Fisher, the man smart enough to employ Coach Steve Addazio.

    Isn’t Smalls the guy that was an Oregon/Washington battle and had drama about one of the schools (I think Oregon) negative recruiting the other as racist?
  23. Bodacious Bevo
    please stop quoting

    Josh Henson (the OL coach that many of them signed to play for) is now at USC That really is a crazy coincidence though lol. Your program is one of the most vulnerable to poaching and your old OL coach just happen to leave for the most aggressive tampering team

    trill committed to the good guys
