  1. Is this to suggest that Texas is using public tax dollars to pay recruits? I'm getting closer to believing Helobious is in fact a board character and not a human sharing their actual thoughts. This is some next level shit.
  2. Imagine that. Recruiting is fluid. Bombastic takes get thrown around by lost football boarders and these takes you're referencing are of that brand. There are no certainties in recruiting. No one knew Phil Knight would give Oregon unlimited NIL funds this cycle, and no school's NIL strategy for football will remain constant. With new information, we adapt. Your take, however, is a take on bombastic takes and while you're trying to insert nuance, there is none in the source material. Please, either try harder, or
  3. LSU also has a recent past of conference and national championships along with development that produces annual draft classes nearly as good, or better, than our only good draft in a decade. Alabama is poor, too.
  4. Looks like LSU will pass on Anding after all
  5. Ochocinco was playing NCAA with Ewers on stream
  6. Up through the catch, his film looks identical to Ryan Wingo's. Wilson is better at creating space after the catch where Wingo just runs away from everyone. I should not have watched Wilson's hudl.
  7. What are you actually trying to say with this? "4 and 5 star DTs bust at a high rate" well our most likely DT in this class is a consensus 4 star, with the consensus being that he's overranked "So don't worry about DT recruiting other than getting in numbers" with one current lean, I should probably worry about DT recruiting "Take big frame DE's and grow DTs" does that...address the current problem? "I've been saying this for awhile"
  8. I think I read somewhere that Lacey and Dia Bell are bros which would make “they recruited over you” a pretty weird strategy. We kinda did, though.
  9. So....convince your primary targets to come off their timeline and lock them in early? Like USC?
  10. Fucking awesome. Accurate venue, too.
  11. Can you actually make this case, though? I mean, I know you can, but can you make it coherently for any position other than DT? Of the non-DT commits elsewhere, I can't think of a real miss this cycle other than maybe Armstrong and eventually Anding. Otherwise, we've been intentionally passing on NIL requirements or passing in favor of other prospects. I like Pettijohn a lot, but they prioritized Faraimo. The staff does not like Jonah Williams as a prospect and we never actually offered Russell. We circled back on Rogers after Fasusi showed his ass and will work from behind. Could we have kept him warmer? Sure, but there wasn't much time there. Brew and Moore fall into the unwilling to match the fuckducks category. And I can disagree with any/all of it, but my disagreement re: eval and prioritization doesn't make it a miss. DT, I agree. That's all fuck up.
  12. Looks like we've turned a longshot into our best shot at a strong 3 lb class, pending late risers and are awaiting more bad news that probably isn't Brooks. Townsend comes to mind, and if so, hopefully the pushed announcement ends up in our favor. I'm not going to get worked up over this class at all with what's in the building, but it sure would be nice to know we're not actively stomping our own dicks in recruiting. When Sark fucks up, they're almost always unforced errors (late game play calling, recruiting staff losses and backfills, retaining Joseph, almost hiring Stoops, etc) and the "culture" content gets pretty fucking old when all this validation of the HC hides the fact that in reality, ego is winning out.
  13. I was responding to the allusion that the size of 2000's era USC linebackers was a positive, but I looked it up and these are surprisingly more in line with the modern linebacker than I had thought. The skills that made them high draft picks were a little different, but the size is about the same. Draft measurables Lofa Tatupu: 5'11, 238 - 4.8 40yd Keith Rivers: 6'2, 241 - 4.54 40yd Brian Cushing: 6'2, 243 - 4.64 40yd Clay Matthews: 6'2 240 - 4.67 40yd Rey Maualuga: 6'1, 249 - 4.58 40yd Faraimo is currently listed at 6'3, 225 on on3 and 230 on 247. Biggins scouting report had him at 215 in January. I'm no expert on the growing juvenile body, but he looks like a future DE to me.
  14. Linebackers that size haven't been relevant since Furbies
  15. Yes. And it was strike 3, no less.
  16. Thaaaaaaaaaaat's a big one. He was at one point the #1 recruit in 2025. Idk whether he'll make it to campus but HS MLB draft prospect info is mostly gated and hard to come by. "Bye aggy"
