  1. RT is being truthful and straight up with kids. This is helping his reputation especially in Texas, after some important people in the state soured on the Texas program some because of Beard and the whole Holland situation. But sometimes in recruiting you gotta be a little slimy and tell kids/circles what they want to hear. I promise you Self is telling McNeeley whatever he needs to hear regardless if it’s true or not.
  2. I don’t think anyone on this board should be allowed to discuss Blue until @closetojumping shows us proof he has shitted out the solid gold football he promised the board if Blue was still on the roster this year.
  3. Seeing my guy Campbell pushing people around brought some joy to my life.
  4. Hudson committed to Tech on his official visit. The Tech staff is actually getting frustrated that he hasn’t gone public. IF Texas wins Saturday they have a list of recruits who they will be hitting up immediately, like coaches calling kids from the locker room. Could make for some interesting turns in some recruitments we thought were done.
  5. On the other hand, didn’t Arkansas look super average against Rice Week 1 in 2021 and then beat our ass next week?
  6. Campbell is my guy, a family friend and I love him to death and even I’m willing to admit he has looked terrible this first half. The whole line is having communication issues. Doesn’t matter that he can move people in the run game if he is not going to be assignment sound. we look sloppy, uninterested and unprepared. Quinn is doing nothing to make the cries for Murphy and Manning to go away. JT Daniels was also once believed to be a can’t miss QB prospect. defense, defensive line, Worthy and the young guys look good.
  7. If Milwee will be on the field do we know which offensive coaches will be in the booth?
  8. Happy for Troy. He was getting some unbelievable hype behind the scene before the first injury. Doubt he has much speed left but he can be a big red zone target.
  9. Damn, Looks like they should have kept Casey cause Sims was terrible tonight.
  10. Burrell and Williams’ decision to not enroll early has hurt both in the short term, with it effecting Burrell more than Williams. They both would be in the two deep if they enrolled early. They still expect Williams to be a dog at safety. Burrell is better athlete than Hawaii but Hawaii now has the inside track to be the next MLB because he came in early and put the work in.
  11. The defensive staff legit believes they have hit on everybody in the 23. If you ever get to hear Choate talk about the Hawaii linebacker it’s as if he is the next Ray Lewis.
  12. They need to fire every OC from this Huddle. How do you not double and triple team the kid?
  13. CS mom has wanted Texas since the spring. I won’t post details until he officially signs somewhere in December, but there is a reason I posted in March to expect a lot of CS to Texas talk a few days before the 9.99 crew started talking more positively about Texas’ chances in the spring.
  14. I’m careful of what I post, simply because you would be surprised who lurks on these forums. But DJ Campbell is your starting RG. Hutson started camp with the ones out of respect that he was a returning starter, but it’s pretty known/expected that Campbell will start. That’s what the coaches want and are planning around. LG is where the true battle is. LG Edge CB Those are the real camp battles and CB is starting to appear clearer even though the 3rd and 4th CBs are coverage studs.
  15. https://lionsports.net/sports/football/roster/grant--tisdale/9117 man EJ thought Tisdale was the future and Texas coaches were idiots to not take him. EJ was also bad at his job.
  16. Did he say this in an article or one of the YouTube interviews IT does?
  17. Flagg is going to Duke. His dad was telling everybody that Duke was the clear number one and his preference for his son at the Nike stop in Dallas.
  18. Bingo. it happens all the time. I wrote a long ass synopsis of what was going on but I deleted it and I’ll keep it simple. They just didn’t expect some of the actions from this kids based on his family, who trains him and the relationship they thought they had. Also doesn’t make sense for Tech to be in on it because no amount of information or disinformation they get really helps them long term. Texas and Tech won’t play each other after this year and won’t become recruiting rivals on a constant enough basis for extra bullshit. They also aren’t a threat to really flip a bunch of Texas kids.
  19. The decision to commit to Tech was made a long time ago. While they have continued to recruit him there are some people on the staff that are starting to believe that he has “played” them and that some of the decisions around visiting campus and official visits have been planned along with Tech coaches. Believing Tech coaches are trying to play up the decision even more to make it look better for Tech beating big bad Texas. Not saying that is why Gerry is reacting the way he is, but the thought is out there among some members of the staff.
  20. Marion could recruit but let’s just say this, he related to a certain type of recruit. Hudson didn’t/ doesn’t really fit into the profile of a recruit that falls in line with Marion.
  21. Head Coach at Duncanville but also step father to Anthony Black who just finished freshman year at Arkansas and is now projected to be a lottery pick.
  22. 1. Arkansas so full of shit and I’m glad Ron screwed them over just like us. Without them using Peavy as a middle man and making crazy offers, Ron is on campus at Texas today. 2. The fans need to be mad at Peavy. He put this together and got Ron to verbally agree to Arkansas. Ron to Arkansas been a done deal to the Arkansas coaching staff. They just were waiting on the NLI release. They actually encouraged him to visit GLeague to make it look like it wasn’t a straight Arkansas flip/tampering. Back fired on them. Guess Peavy doesn’t have the pull he thinks he does.
  23. Speaking of Brock’s, is Tommy expected to start at TCU?
  24. Yeah but two coaches in particular did a really good job on the communication end to solve it during the Christmas break. I’ll check back in and see if it’s popping up again. Last time I checked tho people actually thought Brooks and Holmes were out playing Watts but it’s hard to bench a 12 game returning starter. Brooks should play a lot of snaps no matter what.
