    Or the cheating.

    I grew up (and have been) a lifelong Rangers fan. 

    Yeah, I have a feeling you accidentally clicked on the Astros thread instead of the thread of hate.  If this was intentional, and you intend to participate in this thread in a similar manner, I doubt it’s going to go the way you think.

    Am I the only one that can't stand the sight of Altuve, Bregman or Tucker?  Something about each one of them just pisses me off.  

    Username suggests Rangers fan…

    Blocton to Texas, Robinson to Texas, Hills to Texas, that’s 4 interior DL including January. So you’re left waiting for McKinley and if you get him, trying to hang on to all 5 through signing day. 

    I know we set a high bar with our expectations around here, but this is my reaction to Bo Davis if we land this class and McKinley:

    Screwed up my first guess for Yankees/Royals and didn’t have a guess left to place Maddux in the GG/300 game winner slot. FYI remembering that Maris played in Kansas City does you no good if it was the A’s…

    Billy Embody (on3 LSU) had updated on McKinley and Mack yesterday for those interested in a non-Texas pov

    5-star DL Dominick McKinley

    Quiet, but now well-traveled, the elite Acadiana (La.) defensive lineman is coming off Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma official visits in June. LSU’s message is simple to McKinley’s family, the Tigers can’t afford to miss out on the state’s top-ranked prospect. It’s also a major position of need for Jimmy Lindsey to address as he takes over a defensive line room that’ll lose some key names after 2023.

    When looking at this recruitment, it’s somewhat tough to judge. There is enough buzz that McKinley could very well opt to go out of state. Where? From what I hear, Oklahoma and Texas A&M are the two out-of-state schools that hold the best chance to land McKinley. Texas made a solid impression, but his father wasn’t along for that trip. Ohio State is a dark horse, but very, very far from Louisiana. Oklahoma and Texas A&M have two of the best recruiters in the country along the defensive line and have good angles to swing his signature in the long run.

    All that said, LSU is fighting to get him, reiterating what a huge priority he is. His family isn’t about the glitz and glamour of recruiting and the approach has to be measured, in that sense. Dominick doesn’t do many interviews at all and he keeps a tight circle of relationships. Lindsey is continuing to work on his relationship, having just got to Baton Rouge before the summer. Frank Wilson and Sherman Wilson have been key figures in this recruitment as well, hoping to work every angle to keep McKinley in the state of Louisiana. LSU’s firmly in the mix for McKinley and you’d like to see the coaching staff get him over for the end of July pool party in Baton Rouge. That’d be another nice step as he holds his official visit to LSU for the fall. He’s backed up his interest level in LSU with multiple unofficial visits to Baton Rouge. That was a good sign out of the spring.

    This one is far too early to call, but LSU will be in it until the end. With no end in sight as McKinley’s timeline is uncertain, there will be various points of buzz around programs. My early gut tells me it comes down to LSU and Texas A&M. Buckle in and watch this one play out while LSU buckles in to keep him in-state. It’s a non-negotiable for me when it comes to this class, LSU has to land McKinley.

    4-star DB Wardell Mack

    The prospect I feel best about is Marrero (La.) John Ehret defensive back Wardell Mack. Frank Wilson’s been leading the charge there as LSU works multiple angles on this New Orleans area prospect as well. Florida and Texas have seen confidence grow in the past couple months with official visits, but LSU behind the scenes has worked this one well, I’m told. LSU also has Mack’s teammate, Khayree Lee, in the class. It’s been no secret how bad he wants LSU to get Mack as well. Mack told On3 this week that he’ll be back at Florida July 29. Florida State is also a factor as well, but he’ll be back in Baton Rouge this fall for a game.

    Mack’s made enough visits to LSU to not have too much concern here. There will be schools that take big swings, but until proven otherwise, it’s tough to bet against Wilson for a New Orleans area prospect especially. Sources from other programs reiterated the confidence in Wilson as they watch the recruitment to get it across the finish line for the in-state Tigers.

     

    I’m just spitballing here, but is there any interest in Surly crowdsourcing funding for a ChatGPT based recruiting service? We could just scrape the other sites rankings and reorder them and have our AI reporter Gotch Yabrough cover every team. Don’t see why it wouldn’t work in a copy and paste industry and would have the benefit of the lowest cost basis. Talk about a well spent $3.50.

    -  Don’t look good for Robinson, Blockton, Hibler.  Jayden Jackson has been recruited buy Ohio state and their D line coach since he was in middle school.  But also has lots of family in Texas.

    He’s also from an Indiana town less than 200 miles from Columbus for additional background. His brother is also currently playing JC ball at Kilgore. All that said, this is an auction. Bobby and Gerry were very clear that “NIL will play a big factor here.”

    thought it was down to three now?

    btw where are you getting accrued seasons stat? wanted it for something a while back but couldn't find a good resource.

    looking deeper at OTC and some other places you are probably right in that he didn't have the full amount + earned like 500k and change evidently vs the million from spotrac

    It’s tied to games active, and none of his totals were high enough to accrue (although thinking about it, it may have been four and not six, but it’s been a while since I looked at that stuff). Just knew he was under based on the posted stats. He could also have gotten an injury settlement that would give him an accrued season dependent on the wording, but again, I didn’t look at it closely enough because it seemed pretty clear from what was posted that he hadn’t met the threshold, which I erroneously was still thinking was four seasons.
