Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
The program is a wildly diversified now, as planned. Guys carrying the load in prior classes deserve a ton of credit. They were major players in limited circumstances this year too, but the foundation is now far more secure. Some schools have asked for conference regulations, out of desperation and being pussies. There’s nothing to stand on in that regard. Greg Swaim died last week. Read something on it. Kind of crazy. I thought it might have been made up, similar to most of what he published. But no, that lying blowhard is actually dead. -

I don’t think the NCAA is going to suddenly go after the bag game after being dickless regarding same when they actually had some power. -
Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

Regarding some instances this cycle and going forward - some groups are still presenting the big bag drop versus the legit NIL approach. They can’t afford a sustainable program on the levels of Texas or Ohio State, but they have some cash to throw around. Sometimes it works. Florida had pooled some money for Napier’s buyout. Kiffin punted, so they deployed the cash in another way. Worked against us in one spot and other schools too. ATM is always looking for that angle because it is cheaper and can shortcut a recruitment. USC put up some whoppers out of desperation. It’s not a legitimate approach. Texas will lose some recruitments looking forward where this approach can work for short sighted people involved. There are some very dirty HS coaches out there, btw. -
If they fire Gundy, this will be there Mike Leach Maneuver and I will laugh my ass off. Good luck with aaaaaaaallllll that, okies.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

People who have seen Atkinson in person say he is the truth. Anthony Hill-level impact recruit at LB. That one is going to be a bloody rock fight if he drags it out. He is likely #1 or #2 on Texas' list across the nation along with Turntine. It's early, but that dude looks fucking awesome. -
SEC assesses Texas penalties for bottle-throwing
closetojumping replied to ztejas's topic in Football
To the point, the last of the Plonsky hires. A great recruiter and a terrible gameday coach who doesn't seem capable of learning. Objectively, she should have been fired long ago. They won the SEC tournament this year, but not the conference and don't win nearly as often as they should in the NCAA tournament, this year included. -

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!

Just before the window opens this cycle, Texas feels good about retention. Still going to be some pain. Got some things lined up, too. Let's see how right they and their guy are as this ramps up. Michael Taafe may be going pro, but also, Texas has a good shot to have Michael Taafe next season while Michael Taafe is also in the NFL.- 8408 replies

They came in over the top of Texas in this recruitment at the last minute and offered like $500k above anyone else. Whoops. -
It’s pathetic. Kenny Baker at 8:30 this morning said they hadn’t heard from the Terry camp in 3 days and didn’t know which way he was headed, but dipshit had it the whole way.

Howe is a good guy. He’s maybe not the first guy to know something, but he’s honest and puts in work. -
Yeah, unless you paid for it yourself, you're full of shit. There will always be people who had it the whole way, including some of the slimier guys that you guys like to view as gurus.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

The DE from Louisiana, Shiro Davis, that Bo Davis landed during the Mack Brown regime on signing day. That's the last time I can think of in which no one anywhere really knew anything. A number of folks felt like Manning was going to commit any day now during that cycle. -
I talked to a friend last night that was actually in attendance today. He had no idea who it would be and we both just assumed Georgia. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because if that dude didn't know, damned near no one did, which meant, obviously, nothing should have been ruled out.

Here is a mod's thread. They have like 7 going at once, but this one is good: " Benjamin WolkStaff Anytime there’s some uncertainty about whether it’s going to be Georgia or not, it’s usually not Georgia. It felt like a foregone conclusion it would be Georgia for so long but it wasn’t. Texas DL coach Chris Gilbert did a spectacular job to keep them in this. I’m very surprised he’s leaving so far from home. Extra juice for the game tomorrow. Terry said he picked earlier this week but didn’t tell any coaches." "Tdawg2617 I’m sure the entire family is moving. lol.. give credit to caches all you want but it’s money that made that one." "1222dawg Benjamin Wolk said...

"14Dawgs34 Are we surprised when another team wins the auction?" Jordan D HillStaff "1222dawg said... (original post) It’s seem to always be the case when it’s us we know it’s us.

"TigerWoods62082 Gotta question passing on Christian Ingraham, Charles House, Braxton Kyle, Floyd Boucard, Stephon Shivers, and Josiah Victor & slow playing Jeremiah McCloud now." "USMCMIKE25 Boy said he wanted to be close to home.. but what matters if you got all the money to move them with you" "mustluvdawgz72 This was All about the ??"

"romegeorgiadawg For all the talk about money isn’t an issue, it is. Lost out on 3 recruits Wednesday which theoretically would free up funds. It didn’t. I hate we have a Braves salary cap going up against the Dodgers." "21Dawg Yeah man he really chose Texas because of his relationship with the DL coach ?" "CoolDHS98 That makes 2 players going to Texas that plays a position of need. Brooks was a big blow, but Terry is a kick to the face. Kirby needs to figure this NIL thing out fast, or Oregon and Texas is gonna run away with the game of recruiting." -

Watching Georgia melt down on the Dawgs247 board is absolutely delicious. The whining and bitching about money is so glorious that it's starting to give me a headache. These motherfuckers have been buying players since day 1 of Smart's arrival and now they're bitching about big bad Texas. Sorry about us deciding that we, too, have a payroll to meet and it's ... um ... a lot bigger than yours, you truly poor bastards. -

Oh, I’m sure they’d do it and use whatever reasons they want to justify it. I hope it comes to that. It’s just dumb though. -
SEC assesses Texas penalties for bottle-throwing
closetojumping replied to ztejas's topic in Football
The only big one I recall was his set of choices when Meyer said no. Sonny Dykes being the big one. I wasn’t a big fan of seeing the basketball program getting boxed into the Terry hiring but I’m not sure how it could have really been handled differently. I also don’t think I voiced much on that one. I wish he’d fire Kelly, but I get why he hasn’t. Those are nits being picked. I’ve dealt with the guy on multiple occasions since the Meyer effort. I’d take him over every other choice across the landscape at this point. Hope he’s running things for 20+ more years, personally. Sometimes @Rimbo and anyone else here can put words in my mouth. I don’t think I’ve given CDC much criticism in years. -

That’s like you claiming to be of sound mind and reason. Or me claiming humility. Anyone can claim anything, but it doesn’t make it so. Only those clowns seem to do that kind of shit. They also claim the medal of honor winner that disavowed them and finished with a degree at TCU. It’s in that spirit that I expect them to start overtly claiming guys that transfer and get drafted at other schools. Now that I am thinking about it, it seems almost obvious that they’ll beat their chests over Nolen and Evan Stewart in this next draft. -

The guy’s a first round pick. Anyone whining about how he’s come along should be dismissed or mocked. There’s no case to be had in negging anything about the player or coach. Only insecure dipshits worry about that kind of shit.
