  1. These kids aren’t marketing geniuses but everyone knows you don’t commit during rush hour.
  2. Neto deciding to OV to Baylor at the last minute on the day that Flood was scheduled for an in-home doesn't even require reading of leaves, tea or otherwise. He's not coming.
  3. Just bumping the IT note that Crawford is not expected in the class but Winfield may get back in.
  4. I guess we're in a top 4 for Jaron Willis? Out of nowhere. Ole Miss insiders (perceived leader) don't even reference Texas and I'm not sure he's visited https://www.on3.com/news/four-star-lb-jaron-willis-focused-on-four-schools-prior-to-signing/ https://www.on3.com/db/jaron-willis-57006/
  5. Got a thing for game days apparently. Committed during the last game of last season and decommitted on the last day of our following season. To be fair, it is less likely that Sark picked up his call today than it was then. Enjoy the snow, it’s cold on the bench in east lansing.
  6. You're not wrong, but don't discount the fact that buttfucks can win championships with superior talent. Buttfucks like Gene Chizik and Barry Switzer. The problem is the roster. I have no confidence that this staff can turn it around by force of will and good vibes, but they inherited a problem they can't fix. They didn't create the problem. There's no talent on the roster, much less the superior talent that this staff could win with. The staff sucks, the roster sucks, the product is worse. There's no apologism here.
  7. Not one of the 995ers will acknowledge the lack of talent on campus. Here's some brutal reality for you. Player status for 19/20 classes combined (descending) Of the top 10 signed prospects in '19/'20, 1 is a Heisman level player, 1 has only strung together a few games without breaking his body, 1 is constantly being played out of position, and the rest are jags or gone. Now look at the diamonds in the rough. Who panned out? How many of these guys would be playing at all if the guys in front of them weren't total busts or transfer? Sweat? Wiley can't be relied on to play half of what his position entails, and the rest are either gone, jags, or have no business playing right now (though I would entertain arguments for Barron). Finally, the meat of the classes where you find the surprise starters, depth, and specialists/situational players. A bunch of OL jags yet to sniff the depth chart, evals yet to pan out, and guys who wouldn't be playing if not for attrition and injuries. This tier gives us exactly one guy who has outplayed his ranking in Roschon. Herman got a lot of credit for '18 and '19, but we're watching the dumpster fire that is the 2018 class as mostly starters, and there's nothing of value behind them with the exception of a handful of guys who may still pan out + Bijan Robinson. We have nothing. This is a rebuild. Hopefully Sark treats it like one.
  8. The players have had 'you're not the problem, coaching is the problem' reinforced over the last 3 offseasons which, for me, has sustained the entitlement issue. Add in the reality of the upper half of the 2019 class, the reality of the bottom of the 2020 class, and this staff is working with a plurality of jags and guys who will never believe they're the problem. Sark wasn't a great hire and his laissez faire culture installation led by the most likeable S&C coach of all time isn't actively correcting the problem or inspiring hope for the future. I have no confidence that he'll succeed here due to his inability to manage this inherited abomination, but I still think it's reasonable to recognize that none of these issues are new and all of this is/was predictable. Sark didn't fix it, but he didn't create it either.
  9. New offer for fast rising '23 https://247sports.com/player/sean-stewart-46103826/
  10. Oh, I get the joke. It's self awareness at it's finest to troll his own double down in wrongness.
  11. Main Event is also a shithole, it just lacks the dive bar vibe. It's also technically in Austin, but I digress. Pointing out that Dart Bowl is a shithole isn't a judgement of you. Bowling sucks. Go do something else.
