    I'm not a potential running back.

    I'm also not a dildo. Some may disagree.

    You never know when you’re going to be needed, from my view. Needed for a sprint, a sprint relay, for WR depth, maybe as a running back or offensive coordinator. It’s why I’ve always got a pair of cleats in the trunk of my car and in my suitcase.

    Is this what the recruiting board looks like these days? Jesus Christ.

    Anyway, Nahlin has capitulated on Fasusi and has optimism on Nick Brooks:

    I’m 95% sure I’m going to be wrong on Michael Fasusi. The RPM should be on OU.

    I don’t want to take anything away from OU — truly, they have done a great job— but I think Texas believes there are more pressing needs and likely won’t be all in. Keep in mind they love the roster and are focused on John Turntine in 2026.

    I would put in an RPM for Texas and Nick Brooks but USC being the contender gives me some pause. From covering other recruitments I have a clear understanding of how aggressive they are. Texas is in good shape, though.

     

    Hey, look man, you left. This place hangs by a thread even with guys like you here. Any minute and this place can start chasing its tail over the dumbest shit ever.

    Great inside info, thx.  What do you think the Miami NIL stuff these days?  legit?  So much noise about Ruiz trying to "Phil Knight" Miami into relevance, but I thought his company was being delisted and the SEC (not the conference) was investigating them.   After Rashada, I'm surprised that more people are not calling bs on them.

    Miami has more than Ruiz in NIL. They’ve got their reasons to be doubted but they’ve gotten better on that front.

  3. I don't think they're moving anyone to TB. That considered, there isn't currently a shortage of backs. There might be, arguably, with other injuries, a need for someone to get involved with short yardage situations. How do midgets like Bolden or Niblett help there? Niblett solves nothing at TB. Good lord.

    Expand a bit on special teams. Why do you think it will so great next year? ST has to be a tough group to gauge top 10 or even 50 in August.

    Texas has elite returners, an elite coverage game, and a top notch kicker. They’ve been in the top 10 under Sarkisian by most groups that measure ST overall. Thinking too 3 and maybe number 1 isn’t some sort of stretch.

    I’m not in the business of ruffling feathers, if hurts people’s feelings then I don’t want to do it. And it seems like there were a couple people who didn’t like it. I had some good ones lined up too. 

    Oh come on, don’t be a pussy. Those other guys can go fuck themselves. I need some sooners to mock or read up on.

    This is second hand from a friend but I was told it looked like Bolden had been there all Spring and Bond looked like it’s his first day on the job. 

    Righty-Ooo on one of them. I don’t give a fuck how fast someone is - if the QB can’t accurately believe you’re going to be where you’re supposed to be, good luck fitting into the rotation for long with that as a problem.

    Im guessing when you say “bigger” we are talking about the bigger profile transfers versus the actual bigger sized transfers?

    Ha. I think you know fully what I meant. Correct.

    West Virginia plays Penn State and UCF plays Florida. Those are games that come to my mind as more important than OSU v Pig.

    Great points. I didn’t give my post a lot of thought because of how weak I think the Big 12 scheduling is. WVU versus not just PSU but also Pitt is legit. 

  8. USC is going to cost the aggies a pretty penny, if nothing else.

    Sounds like some sort of weird religion he's into. Sentient smoke forming opinions but being fallible. A relatable deity. The smoke always continues, but can sometimes be wrong. Pray to it, and you will grab some momentum.

    Or it's just lack of imagination. 

    I think this was a storyline in Lost, but it’s been awhile.

    Also not our fault that the mighty sec pigs are bad this year. Game was scheduled years ago. And yeah, SDSU is probably well in the top half of quality non-con opponents for the Big XII.

    Sadly, Okie State probably has the most respectable non-con in the Big 12 this year. 

  10. It's funny, Sanders isn't the type of recruit a major program should be putting a bunch of money towards. He just isn't a high ceiling recruit and he has a low, low floor. But if you're losing all visible momentum in a recruiting cycle and are about to be shutout on multiple other recruitments that are far more competitive for higher end players, maybe the approach to score a victory, somewhere, anywhere, isn't that idiotic. 

    The guy was supposed to announce tonight. Someone close to the recruitment decided to push it out early and shut everything down. 

    I think Elko is an excellent defensive coach, but I've not seen a ton of evidence that he's a great developer of talent. Sanders is really, really going to need development. I'm happy he's heading to ATM.

    Sims is way better. Once you get past the obvious names (Charles, Wynn, Williams, Brown), Sims is who they should be focusing their flip efforts on.

    A Sharma/Charles/Sims 3-man class would be acceptable in my eyes with a 4th guy if it makes sense or just use that spot for the portal.

    The 2025 DT class was never going to be the solution for the 2025 DT depth chart. The portal was always going to be the primary source in plugging those holes. But a solid 2025 DT haul would be a good first step in trying to get us out of the cycle of seemingly needing 4 quality DT's every damn year out of pure necessity. 

     

    You are a tough person to please, man. Sims/Charles/Sharma would be outstanding. That’s prayer-level shit at this point in time, though. 

    As to solutions for a position group for a next season, in truth, everyone has that issue somewhere. Notre Dame is playing their 3rd transfer QB in 4 seasons due to similar issues, as an example. Texas has pieces for 2025 already and Sharma is as good as anyone could hope heading towards that season a freshman. Even one more dude of high quality decompresses needs given the portal.

    Billy Liucci - who indubitably has Watched. That. Tape - has a slightly different description:

    How many of you have watched the guy play? Liucci is the aggie hobo version of Geoff Ketchum. He has an uncanny ability to be completely wrong on everything with his program and has a loyal customer base constantly cheering him on as he does so.
