  1. Oh, Lord ... I make a post about recruiting, and somehow, you manage to use that to introduce YET ANOTHER vicious, virulent, vitriolic post about BANGLADESHI INFRASTRUCTURE!!! Can you please take that to the BANGLADESH INFRASTRUCTURE CLOAK ROOM??? Mods - can you clean this up, please????? :-))
  2. A grab bag of notes and developments that may have some impact on Texas recruiting: 1) Daylan McCutcheon just committed to FSU. Seemed to be on the radar as a #3/#4 or backup WR candidate, so FYI. 2) 5* WR Caleb Cunningham committed to Alabama today. Does that affect Kaliq Lockett, wrt Bama, his suposed #2 school? If we think Lockett's okay w/ joining Ffrench in a Texas class, maybe he's okay with this WRT to Bama, but who knows. (Yeah, yeah, Kaliq knows.) Also, the timing of Cunningham's commitment was not known, as of a few days ago ... again, not sure if that indicates anything. Here's what the BAMA 247 guy said a few days ago, re: Lockett. "Quick Hitter: "Not a whole lot new" was what Bama247 was told when speaking with a source close to Lockett's recruitment on Thursday afternoon. Bama247 last reported before the Fourth of July holiday that the biggest storyline to follow in the five-star receiver's recruitment would be which school or schools would get a visit during the last week of July. The Crimson Tide still appears to be right in the thick of it along with Texas and his other finalists. Sources continue to feel like this is an Alabama-Texas battle down the stretch. It is worth noting that the Longhorns missed out on their top receiver and fellow in-state target Dakorien Moore to Oregon. One source also told Bama247 they wouldn't be surprised if Lockett got back to Tuscaloosa (Ala.) and Austin (Tx.) between the end of Dead Period (July 24) and before his decision." 3) Re: Jaime Ffrench, Scruggs (Horns 247) had said a few day ago that he thought Miami was actually his #2 school. Here's what the Miami 247 guy said re: Ffffffff. "The Hurricanes are still involved with five-star Jaime Ffrench but this is a recruitment that's seen plenty of twists and turns. Miami will keep working but I do not believe that anything drastic has changed recently. This recruitment has been a rollercoaster ride of perceived leaders, so until Ffrench makes his decision I expect there will be plenty more to come out of his high-profile recruitment." 4) Re: Madden Faraimo, Blair Angulo (247 West Coast guy) posted a note. I'll just post the note separately, but the net is - it still suggests a commitment soon (pre-season) is still a possibility, but he again says good things about Texas. (" ... opened my eyes during the official." " ... I loved everything.")
  3. We knew the bar was low at LSU, but holy smokes ... 😂 😂 😂.
  4. Hank South (Horns 247), on Madden Faraimo. From Scruggs' note on Wednesday, here's the context: - family preferred USC; USC offered very late - sources thought ND led, with Texas second - they thought he might announce before the season; the longer the recruitment went, the better it was for Texas Get it done, Nansen!
  5. To Texas! https://247sports.com/Player/Jonathan-Cunningham-46140301/
  6. Chillax, people ... Loreal's got this.
  7. 6:30 PM Central time. YouTube, Rivals.
  8. USC guy (they're one of the finalists, but behind Alabama/A&M/Texas, per 247 ... )
  9. When I saw the " ... or did it?", it reminded me of
  10. Good, long-ish article from Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247) in the spoilered portion below. Posting key excerpts the top, so that you can quickly get back to your weight room hot takes. MICHAEL TERRY: On the same note though, I still view the Longhorns as the team I expect to win this recruitment and so does the source close to Terry. MADDEN FARAIMO: ... sources lean towards Texas when asked where they think the Top247 prospect will end up if the decision isn't for Notre Dame. A source believes Faraimo would find himself comfortable playing and living in Austin with the other polynesian players on the Longhorns' roster, but continues to maintain it will be an uphill battle vs. Notre Dame. NATHANIEL OWUSU-BOATENG: Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng is in talks with the Longhorns to set up an official visit in the fall " ... It's the best ball. I plan on going on an OV to Texas. It is not confirmed yet, but it's being talked about." NICK TOWNSEND: The other Spring Dekaney Wildcat, Top247 ATH Nick Townsend, is a prospect Horns247 continues to feel good about ending up in the Longhorns' 2025 class with Townsend set to come off the board on Monday. ANDREW MARSH: At this point in time Horns247 isn't expecting Marsh to end up in the class, but he's certainly a guy we will be keeping tabs on if receiver dominoes don't fall Texas' way over the next two months. HINES: Regardless, I currently lean USC for the Houston area pass catcher. MCCUTCHEON: McCutcheon commits on Saturday and if he called Texas and tried to commit I don't think the Longhorns would necessarily tell him no. JOHNSON: Johnson's commitment date is TBD but he's also a guy I don't see Texas saying no to either if he wanted to hop in the boat, especially because it seems as if the Longhorns are pushing the hardest for him compared to Hines or McCutcheon. Wednesday night recruiting notes Scattershooting a bevy of recruiting notes collected from the past few days. Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247)
  11. If - heaven forbid - that happened, would that really be irrational?
  12. Lulz. Scruggs throwing some nice shade at A&M, re: Fasusi. (This is in response to a question about Fasusi's tweet.
  13. He takes his Level 1 source below to lunch practically every day, and even bought him those sneakers. (Not sure about the flower bouquet ... )
  14. (Around 4:30 PM, apparently.)
  15. If I may be so rude as to interrupt w/ a tweet about an updated commitment date/time for a guy who is now an important target, whether primary or backup:
  16. Kade Phillips to Texas! https://247sports.com/player/kade-phillips-46131783/
  17. Good news, people!! It's NOT Oklahoma (or A&M) ... and therefore -
  18. Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Incompetence and bizarre shit coming from Belmont
  19. What are the chances for Texas football and its other 5-star WR targets after Dakorien Moore to Oregon Hank South (Horns 247) (Spoilers - Ffrench will announce a decision on Aug. 30 between Texas, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, and Tennessee. My Crystal Ball prediction is in on the Longhorns. Percentage chances Ffrench ends up at Texas: 60 percent Percentage chances Lockett ends up at Texas: 70 percent)
