He just preferred the small town feel of Houston.

Hudson was the only surprise to me. Burton missed his entire JR year to the knee injury. His dad is a coach and he's been training with speed/agility and WR trainers for a long time. He has a really small/slight frame. I'm not saying he's not good or worthy a really high ranking, he most definitely is - but I think there's some valid concerns. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Honestly I think Trevell Johnson is in that same group, maybe Treylin Payne as well. Not sure there's a huge variance between those guys. Martrell Harris is the wildcard in that ILB group and stands to gain the most during his SR year. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't give a long look to Taariq Al-Uqdah. Washington was on him early and clearly did a good job on the eval.

That would be a hell of a kickstarter to their 2023 class and give them some presence in the DFW area.

Not sure about his physical development but Jaylin White's best 100m time is 11.45 (to be fair it was 2019 - but he probably wasn't even 170 pounds at that point). Maybe he's improved his speed a lot but ... Seems like guys like AJ Green, Caleb Johnson, Alton McCaskill, Montaye Dawson, JP Martin all fit the bill as RB2 and/or gadget player with more far more upside. Favoring LJJ during the entire process, even to the exclusion of Camar (much less any of these guys), only to go lukewarm-to-cold on LJJ at the finish line, missing the opportunity to put any of these guys on a slow burn (at least hold on past ESD) only to end up 11th hour recruiting a guy like Jaylin White would be some peak Drayton.

KC Ossai decommitts from Zona .. sounds like Napier might be on him, got a CB to the Ragin Cajuns.

...

They already took a transfer (Micah Bowens from Penn State) but Caleb Williams' dad would literally shit on the floor if they took someone else.

This continues to be the case.

Fuck. Yes.

If they filmed his commitment video they would.

I have, hence this quote for example ::

This is the problem. Right here. This is why I replied to BO&W talking to Ricky's one-hitter in the first place. What is the imaginary shit? Further, Is anyone panicked or sanding their vagina? No.

Nor in the five seasons at Washington, where he was never better than 5-4 in conference. I mean, I'm not trying to go down that entire rabbit hole - just pointing out some trepidation is valid.

I didn't say there wasn't a lot of reasons to be excited - there are A LOT of reasons - simply pointing out that there were and are logical and reasonable reasons to be have some concerns. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Look, I get the excitement because it's the KoolAid hour of a new coach hire - with the fresh new hire smell, but if you don't see a reason for people to be trepidatious about Sarkisian and his hires, I don't know what to tell you. So let's do the run down -- he's 46-35 all time including 31-26 in conference. He's never won a conference title despite having the most talented team in the conference by a large margin in each season at USC. He was fired for being drunk on the sidelines (and failing spectacularly in his duties as HC). He's a recovering alcoholic coming to the most stressful job of his career in a city that parties hard as fuck. There's certainly some wiggle room in the level of excitement and belief. As to the hand wringing over the personnel support department, when you hire some terrible evaluators to your staff (Terry Joseph for example) you put a lot more pressure on the personnel department. Again, I think anyone having some mild trepidation about unforced errors from that department is well within the bounds of reason. This isn't the same as questioning an Urban Meyer decision. Until Sark proves that he's grown and changed on and off the field, there's room for question and concern.

Assuming Polk is going to UTSA to play for Traylor with absolutely no info or clue at all.

So he'll have 5 to play 4, right? he's basically a Freshman all over again? is that right?

Looks like UTSA and Traylor nabbed Denzel Feaster (ILB Kansas - originally from Manor) for his 17th year of eligibility :: https://247sports.com/Player/Denzel-Feaster-77855/high-school-135550/

"And butter our plain bread with delicious pain."

Wonder if they are going to go full murder and run off some dudes in the WR room? I assume yes. I know Sark said they have too many on the roster, but I also know the room is lacking a bit ... I would think they'd take 5 in 2022 if it was the right 5. He's one of the fastest for sure but Brenan Thompson does exist ...
