    Gerry update on Shadrach

      Hide contents

    IT has been told that Texas A&M transfer Shadrach Banks is expected to pick TCU over Texas.

    IT was also told that Banks did not make the mid-week student visit to TCU.

     

    Damn

  2. So I'm an AE for a software company.  I usually work with what's called a SDR (sales dev rep).  Lots of turnover in software, I've had 3 in about 14 months and am currently without one.  I don't make hiring decisions so whoever they hire, I get.  They finally hired someone and I looked homeboy up on Linkedin.  He's wearing a Boston tshirt and a hat in his profile pic.

    Western Kentucky didn’t make the tournament with Charles Bassey (top 10 recruit) and Rick Stansbury as the coach.   They were in a better conference (though still not good), but they also had a better program than UW-Milwaukee.    If the dad sucks as a coach, which it looks like he does, then it’s pretty easy to lose college basketball games even with a stud player.  That goes double if a part of him wants to make sure junior gets to showcase his talents for the league and you end up with him chucking shots nonstop like the kid in YMCA ball whose dad is the coach and has delusions of grandeur.

    Sounds like junior may help dad keep his job.  Agree with the poster that said this could hurt his initial endorsement potential

    (Mike Roach) Crystal Ballin: Like it, Love it, Leave it

    Tavorus Jones, RB, El Paso Burges


    Current Pick: Texas


    Status: Like it


    I recently put in a pick for Jones following Nick Harris who has been able to develop a good relationship with the west Texas runner. Texas seems to be the overwhelming favorite, but the only thing keeping me from loving this pick is the continued pursuit of running back targets from the Texas staff. All signs point to Jones becoming a Longhorn this summer, but it does give pause that Texas just offered another in-state back. Still, I expect Jones to end up in the class if the Longhorns choose to push.

    Brenen Thompson, WR, Spearman


    Current Pick: Clemson


    Status: Leave it


    When Cade Klubnik committed to Clemson, there was a pretty strong feeling that Thompson could follow. In the last few months, Texas and Oklahoma State have been able to generate the most momentum for the Texas speedster. As the Longhorns continue to push for Thompson, I could be closer to entering a Texas pick following his visit to Austin this summer. As of now, I’ve lowered the confidence score for Clemson to a 1.

    Bryce Anderson, S, Beaumont Westbrook


    Current Pick: Texas


    Status: Love it


    After visiting with Anderson during the spring, I still feel very confident about the job Blake Gideon and the Texas staff are doing to land one of the elite safety prospects in the country. Anderson does have a busy slate of visits upcoming, and things could change during that time. Still, with an unofficial set for June and an official likely for the fall, things are setting up nicely for Anderson and the Longhorns.

    Evan Stewart, WR, Frisco Liberty


    Current Pick: Texas


    Status: Like it


    Try as I might, I don’t really have any reason to change my Texas pick for Evan Stewart. Perhaps that will change after visits take place this summer, but I don’t get the feeling any other school has been able to grab control of the race for the most dynamic wide receiver prospect in the country. His recent trip to Austin for the state track and field meet went well and he’s looking forward to seeing more of the city when he returns for a summer visit. In this recruitment, no news is good news for the moment.

    Kelvin Banks, OL, Humble Summer Creek


    Current Pick: Oklahoma State


    Status: Leave it


    The Oklahoma State pick for Banks was logged when he originally committed to the Cowboys. Though they are still a school in the mix for his services, it’s tough to say the Pokes remain in the lead for him. Visits are ultimately going to determine where this recruitment ends up, but Texas and Texas A&M seem to be the schools at the top while LSU is a school that represents a dangerous threat.

     

    Roach is pretty hilarious.  Confidence level 1?

    While I’ve never worked in food service, everyone seems to indicate that doing so fucking sucks with shitty hours and schedules, and that management is often pretty shady regarding tips and other employment laws. Then you add in a declining cohort of younger workers. (I believe nationally school enrollment is to drop in aggregate through 2030 or so) so the labor pool that the industry relies is getting shallower on top of that. Then you can add in other opportunities that your labor force sees as better be it door dashing or working in an Amazon warehouse(slightly better pay, defined hours, less assholes deciding your pay on whims, less drawbacks overall) and you can’t be really surprised that labor is getting tighter. It’s like when people bemoan the lost of small dairy farms without ever acknowledging that being a small dairy owner sucks because you work your ass off and wreck your body for limited payoff.

    Yeah, waiting tables sucks.

    I think Casey is going to be the guy based on deep ball consistency, off script ability & leadership qualities. Card seems like the better fit for the type of stuff they ran at Bama last season but he most likely won’t have a stable offensive line or receivers who create a lot of separation. 

    Believe it or not, Card is a better athlete than Casey.  He's not the unathletic pocket passer.

    When he was a freshman I think - and certainly when he was a soph - Bates was considered the best HS prospect out there, regardless of class. I am not a scout, but I would be surprised if those in the know would still consider that to be true a year + later. I've only seen Holmgren play the one time when they played each other, but he was spectacular. One theory I've seen written about is that Bates hasn't grown, is still 6'8 and as others around him have continued to grow, they have caught up. 

    Isn't Chet quite a bit taller?

    For now. But can she stop? Looking at the spray of two-bit tats running up and down both arms, I'd bet no. I recognize a fellow addict personality when I see one.

    It's not that hard to fuck up a good thing.

    Sims' Dad is either an MD or Dentist and the rest of his siblings are fairly highly successful people as well. He's the baby of the family and the feeling among his family members is he needs to be pushed towards autonomy rather than spending another year in school delaying his personal maturation. 

    Or he can use an extra year of seasoning in school?

    No kids! We miss being in the thick of the food and bar scene 

    We got kids and I still want that lifestyle hah.  I think you can still get that lifestyle at a reasonable price in a place like Chicago.  I may be looking that direction.

    Nothing wrong with them at all, and as mentioned above a good portion of them carry/service their own notes.  I would say to get another quote for comparison purposes.  Sometimes we can't touch what the CU is offering a client, but a decent amount of the time we can beat it especially as a broker.

    You guys do California?
