  1. What are you even on about? In the off-season a former coach spoke about the situation regarding our upcoming starting QB. It's acceptable in this thread
  2. A&M is thought of as weird little brother in every conference they have been in, including the SEC. Look at social media, message boards, videos....they're constantly clowned on the same way we clown on them for how weird they are as a school/cult. We are more welcomed in the SEC than they are/were.
  3. And Jalin having cement for feet
  4. Bobby Couple of recruiting notes: - Alabama RB Ezavier Crowell is slated to make his decision tomorrow. Texas remains highly involved as of late yesterday. It will be Texas or Alabama. I know conventional wisdom says Alabama here for an Alabama product, but it said the same for Justus Terry and Georgia a year ago. This recruitment has a somewhat similar feel to me, just earlier in the process. - I reported yesterday that North Shore defensive back Chace Calicut may be trending toward Georgia. That remains the case. But Texas continues to recruit him and recruit him hard. There have been a couple of different times in this recruitment where Calicut was on the precipice of announcing a decision for multiple schools. That means that not only has he been torn about this decision but that he has also been susceptible to various pitches. We see that all the time in recruiting. We’ll see what pitch and program wins out. Georgia recruiting him as a corner may sound nice to his ears, but if his true calling is as a safety, that year at corner would do nothing but put him a year behind in his development at safety. Again, I think there’s some recruiting left to do here. We’ll find out which way the decision cuts on Friday. - Texas and Michigan appear to be the teams standing out for New Jersey defensive tackle Damari Simeon. Simeon is ranked one of the nation’s top five defensive tackles and his relationship with Texas DL coach Kenny Baker has been outstanding. I lean Texas at this moment, but like others, this decision hangs in the balance until Friday. - Malakai Lee, the huge offensive lineman from Hawaii, is set to announce on Friday. This is one of those recruitments where we don’t think any school knows where he’s going, at least not at this time. In other words, he’s not tipping his hand in the slightest, not to reporters and not to colleges. I will add this. Based on feedback from multiple college programs, we can throw the recruiting rankings out with Lee. The various services all have him outside the top 100 in the country. There’s not a school out there that views him as anything less than a top 50 prospect in the country. He’s that talented.
  5. Gerry Hamilton Some Wednesday AM Recruiting Thoughts 1. Texas has continued to battle for 4-star++ running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High), as we have said. Everything we have heard for weeks is a Bama vs. Texas decision likely with Georgia and Auburn the other OV's. And that has also been Bama having the most confidence since early May. The Longhorns are considered the competition for the Crimson Tide due in part to Ezavier and mom both truly liking the Texas program and everything it can provide. 2. Confidence remains in Austin on OTF 5-star OT John Turntine III. With that said, OTF doesn't believe he has informed the winning school of his decision ahead of the July 4 announcement. OTF doesn't believe the winner will be Texas A&M - barring a reverse course from Tuesday. We do believe Texas and Michigan are very much in it. And Stanford hasn't thrown in the towel. 3. There has been some saying Texas would shut down defensive line recruiting with four commitments. That is not the case. The Longhorns would absolutely go to five in the class. Texas has continued to receive positive feedback from 4-star++ DL's Damari Simeon, Kendall Guervil and James Johnson early this week. How the dominoes fall will be key here. Simeon's commitment date is June 27, Guervil July 2 and Johnson expected in early July. 4. OTF believes Texas is very much in the mix for 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). We continue to believe that it's not a likely scenario 5-star's out of the Peach State Xavier Griffin (Gainesville, Ga./High) and Atkinson end up at the same school. Griffin is scheduled to be the first off the board June 29. Griffin is Texas vs. Alabama with Ohio State and FSU the other OV's. 5. OTF 4-star++ OT Malakai Lee remains a slight mystery as of Tuesday afternoon. He had not informed with winner and losers in the race based on what a source told us. Texas vs Michigan with Georgia in it, and Alabama battling after falling behind is the race. OTF does know that Lee can envision himself playing for the Longhorns. We also expect the family to move to the state where Lee plays in college. Lee has multiple family members that live in Dallas currently. 6. Texas wants 5-star EDGE Trenton Henderson (Pensacola, Fla./Catholic) as badly as any prospect on the board. The Longhorns also know they are working from a position of making up ground on Florida headed into a July 2 decision. LSU is battling. 7. Haven't heard anything to back OTF off of believing the Longhorns are in the best spot for 4-star+ LB Kosi Okpala (Houston/Mayde Creek) ahead of a July 2 or 3rd decision. OTF believes Texas would take both Okpala and Calvin Thomas, as of Monday.
  6. Meh, rather play someone we haven’t played in a while
  7. What’s our current numbers?
  8. Ojo looked awful today. Got beat every way possible
  9. Couch has been here for 5 years. Could be coincidental that’s when the injuries started
  10. Do you watch baseball or just look at stats?
  11. Her and the 3rd baseman are the only people we’re pursuing right?
  12. Agreed and I think the university revoking access and severing ties with OBs would be a good message to those "insiders" and BMDs who do share info with them.
  13. Is it something that the university can just publicly revoke their access so the masses will know they don't have any access?
  14. Maybe it will finally die now and that fat fuck will disappear due to not having a major brand backing them
  15. Cool, he's still better than Flores who absolutely fucking sucked. Borba has a better career fielding percentage than LSU's starting 3rd baseman. Does he blow?
