  1. Ojo. Gerry is reporting $2M over two years from Tech for a player that was "2nd team all district"
  2. The best North Shore players leave Texas to go nowhere
  3. That's insane, but good for him. I would imagine giving Guervil or any of these recruits that kind of money would blow up the budget for our current roster (i.e. pay comparable amounts to current players). I would guess probably cause it to double, which is absolutely unstable. These poor football programs throwing around huge dollars because of the new rev share cap and their current roster is cheap will have a hard reckoning in a year or two.
  4. I got this guys. I am going to get our streak turned around. You can thank me later.
  5. Derrek Cooper visited in April https://www.on3.com/news/elite-rb-derrek-cooper-visits-texas-for-the-first-time-this-did-a-lot-for-my-interest-in-texas/
  6. That is interesting because Bobby did state over the weekend that Xavier would be more of an of Edge to start then transition to an OLB, whereas Atkinson would be more of an MLB. His comments alluded to they could potentially be in the same class. So for Gerry to put this out after the fact, assuming he and Bobby are trading notes and intel, there is something here that might be more than position numbers that would cause them not to be in the same class.
  7. That was Lockett and Moore, and I think that had more to do with them getting along with each other
  8. I'm okay losing out on a talented, but needs development, 4-star recruit in June because we can't guarantee starting time his freshman year. We've come a long way.
  9. Besides K/P, a successful football team must recruit and fill a minimum number of spots at every position every year. The portal, injuries, draft, and development can change roster projections so quickly. Any successful team needs a reliable pipeline of talent at every position that can withstand this variability. Coaches have ~3 years to evaluate and recruit enough quality players to bring in a minimum number of players at each position every year. There isn't a reason for a successful football team to say they can't find the right fit at a position. The players are there.
  10. June OV recruiting season is not for the faint of heart. On the other hand, happy feeding season for all the recruiting energy vampires.
  11. A&M's Draft performance this year should be the canary in the coal mine for that program under Elko. Although their DL guys got drafted, the story with all of them was "they didn't have the performance that matched their expectations. They are getting drafted on potential." Defense is Elko's bread and butter, but he couldn't get that defense and the elite players to play at an elite level. It was just "meh." And no one can try the excuse of those weren't his players. Yeah they were. He recruited those guys, and he went to the portal to get the defense he wanted. The Year 1 Elko Experience is everything someone should expect out of Elko when it comes to development going forward. It's not going to be great by any means. Let's compound the lack of development with the non-existent QB recruiting. They are spending money elsewhere, but not at QB. Lack of development and talent at the QB position is a scary combo. I guess they are hoping that they will get lucky in the portal? It hasn't gone that way yet. They will win recruiting battles, but the lack of development across the board and the dearth of talent at QB will keep the 8-and-4 train chugging along.
  12. A&M piggybacked their way into the Roseborough recruitment as "close enough to Austin for mom." Sounds like they may have outsmarted themselves in their game theory on what to pay him for the commitment. That is if they think in those methods; unlikely they do. Brauny definitely doesn't understand that, but it's easy to sell subs on the tag line of whooping the gersh dern tsips for a recruit.
  13. This feels like one of the situations where an SEC reporter gets so anchored on a feeling/pick for an old SEC school, and the reporter discounts any new information related to Texas for one reason or another.
