    But somehow that’s good for aggy who...doesn’t send kids to the league. 

    You put the receipts in front of recruits that show A&M with 18 kids drafted in the first three rounds the past 10 drafts, while Texas has had six, and it seems significant enough to them. 

    That's only two less than Oklahoma in the same period.

    Does this include transfers out from Texas to other programs like Elliott at Missouri? It should. Transfers due to coaching changes distort data

    Ask that question to Joe Recruit. He dgaf. 

    But a good question for us.

    Herman and Co. need to put it all together this year and have a good season.  If that happens, then we’re going to have some high draft picks and a lot of guys drafted overall. All the negative recruiting will get completely undercut if we just win this year.

    Exactly. It appears this is the year to make up ground on the draft discussion. The rest is to Just Win Baby.

    It's a stupid article, but it's a also an unsettling trend. OU has definitely stepped up their recruiting pitch/game. We've out-recruited them all the fucking time, some of that with Charlie Strong (yes, I say this fully understanding the caveats for Strong's Fool's Gold classes). They've done more with less compared to us on the field for quite some time. Now they're doing as good or better. Again, this all comes back to Herman and company having to coach like fucking winners this fall, but the trend right now is not great. And this Camar Wheaton suddenly favoring the Sooners is some hard shit for me to understand and accept. We led for him for awhile, and I don't remember OU being mentioned as one of his top schools until just recently, and now they're tossed around as a purported leader? Wheaton to OU makes about us much sense as Satya at a party on Friday night. It really feels like something tangible has changed for OU in the past month. 

    This shit is pretty simple for me: Yet again OU embarrassed Texas in the draft. Two first rounders, and both Jrs. From Deep down in Texas.  Three of our guys get taken in the third, all seniors.

    Last year a Jr in first and a Jr early in the second for OU. Texas has it's first guy off the board in the 5th round. Yayyyy

    Obviously in 2018 Baker gets taken first overall. Just a Texas dude that went to OU and went to the playoffs. No big deal anywhere else, but once he got to Oklahoma....

    They got to the playoffs, Texas doesn't. They win Big 12 Championships pretty often, Texas doesn't. 

    These kids are eating it up. It's the perfect positive/negative recruiting angle for one of the biggest rivalries in the game, and they hold it.

    Hell of an 8-ball to be behind for any coaches Texas might have, recruiting head-to-head with OU right now. They're point blank going to have to win the big 12 and puts some asses in the NFL, early. This could be the year for the latter, for sure, but hopefully also the former.

    While Cain may not be a downfield burner when it comes to speed, his ability to win when the ball is in the air and get in and out of cuts when he needs to makes him a perfect fit for what both Tom Herman and Mike Yurcich want to do in the passing game.  

    egg-zack-tlee.

     

    In theory, not a lot wrong with it. 

  7. Not too worried about the 40 time of a kid who's probably looked at more as a possession receiver. Especially when he’s got a wingspan like that, good ball skills and can run decent routes in HS. I know we have a vision of modern day receivers as all short little burners, but having a possession receiver won’t be going out of style too son, unless you’re my Houston Texans and you trade the best one in the league (6’1, 4.6ish 40) for peanuts. You just don’t want a whole receiver’s room full of them.

    Young QBs in college like that safety check who just catches the ball, open or not, on target throw or not (see Sam and Johnson. Johnson can put up 4.6s, but is 6’6. Guys like Cain can be 6’2, but the catch radiuses, hand usage etc... has ‘em playing bigger).

    Not forecasting Cain, though. I’d prefer we find a guy just like him, but faster. Hope he shows out and excites us. 
     

    The problem isn’t Cain, it’s only a problem if that’s your big take. Staff has work to do.

    I’m not sure I buy the playing time angle, he’s a pass rusher not a quarterback, there’s room for more than one to play. If he’s good, he’d play immediately here too. 

    But it's not up to you to buy. It's up to 16/17/18 year olds. They buy playing time, and they buy how many players you're putting into the NFL. Then there are the few who truly bet on themselves as being the difference in both.

    I don't understand the mindset. Texas is my dream school, but they offered me a month later than I wanted them to, so I will not play for my dream school.

    Just how it goes these days. So many variables at play (including reporting).

     

    This one almost seems like it'd be an easy turn, but I could be speaking out of my ass.

    —I spoke with sources near four-star Royse City wide receiver Ketron Jackson last week. Texas is working him hard, and I think they'd have him already had they not offered late. Jackson was evaluated several times by Drew Mehringer, but he never pulled the trigger on an offer. Andre Coleman offered Jackson a couple of months ago, and so far they've been building a strong relationship. I was told that Texas is the school Jackson grew up wanting to play for, but the later offer is hurting them a bit right now. That said, I expect they will hang around in the race regardless and the longer this plays out the better it will be for Texas.

    This one actually seems a bit promising.

    Given how important S&C coaches are to the day-to-day operations, why would Smart hire Cochran into a position-coach role?  It certainly will rattle the foundation of the Bama program, which has significant value to Georgia.  That said, why not also place Cochran in a position where he will have access to the players on a daily basis?
