  1. Right now, our message is not resonating. While yes, they can point to their previous resume… our rivals are hitting them with the same pitch. Here’s how this conversation goes. ”Look at all the good coaches and staffs that have been there that have gotten fired. Mack Brown, Charlie Strong, Tom Herman. None of them succeeded there and none were able to develop blue chip players. Sark is a good coach but wait to see if he can actually put players in the league at Texas. His success is because of Nick Saban and Bama. He doesn’t have a good record as a head coach. Why commit to Texas when you can come here and we will develop you. Don’t risk your future betting on Texas until they prove it.” Then they back it up with the articles showing Texas with the lowest blue chip development rate of all power 5 programs. Most of the current recruits have no memories of Texas being a top program. I follow a bunch of Instagram recruiting accounts that interact with high school and college athletes. Most of them have Texas on the same tier program wise as TCU, Baylor, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc. Sark needs to change that perception fast by winning. It’s a simple solution… just win. Apparently that seems impossible for all the coaches we have hired the last decade for whatever reason.
  2. How about Texas does a better job of building their program, incorporating a bag game, putting players in the league, and keeping their facilities up to date?
  3. I believe he is. His family is very high on academics. I think Texas actually has a great shot in this recruitment and this would be a massive get.
  4. We simply are not getting the benefit of the doubt anymore by recruits. It’s comes down to winning and development. Luckily for us, Texas is a school that can easily pull experienced veteran players from the transfer market. I fully expect us to bring in a tackle once the LSU tackle doesn’t workout. Spoke to a LSU grad that said he would be shocked if the LSU tackle qualified at Texas. Said if LSU couldn’t fudge his grades to keep him qualifying, Texas definitely won’t be able to get him admitted. As far as Banks, it sucks. This reminds me of last year when we were going to get every OL and ended up with none of themZ I’m happy we have Robertson and Hutson. Let’s hope we close the deal on Campbell but those elite guys are getting the negative sell from every school on Texas. They are literally showing them data that Texas is the worst school when it comes to developing g blue chip prospects. Hard to combat that until you prove it on the field. This class will have some very good pieces. It will probably fall in the top 7-13 range when it’s all said and done. That plenty good to compete in the college football playoffs with our current roster and our ability to fill in holes with the transfer portal.
  5. So he just visited aggy. And now decides he will move up his commitment date. Aggy mods have basically said he committed to Jimbo on the trip. The 9.95ers have had egg on their face all cycle. At this point, I don’t have hopes of landing Anderson or Campbell. Both those recruitments feel off to me
  6. It’s comes down to winning. Our program has been in the gutter. Ohio state is making the CFP almost every year and send players to the league draft after draft. Quinn wants to be a part of a winning team. I don’t blame him. The dude committed to Texas and we shit the bed with a senior QB and loaded roster. Obviously I wish this guy loved Texas enough to come here and change our program, but that’s not the case. Luckily we’ve got a QB with an elite arm in Hudson Card. Sark needs to fucking win this year and show an elite offense. If he does that, we’ll get Arch Manning and no one will complain about Ewers leaving for tOSU. If we have a 7-8 win season again, I expect more of the same…. We’ll land top 10-15 classes and be a tier behind the elite programs and cycle through another coach in a few years.
  7. Nice little rebound on IBRX. I'm going to hold this mother fucker till it hits $40. I initially bought at $32, doubled my position at $18 and then doubled my position again at $13.8. The slightest bit of good news and this thing will rebound quick. It's volatile which I like. I may try to just play the yo-yo'ing of this stock.
  8. Gotta keep Blue in our class. He’s an elite talent and we need more players like him. If he ends up busting bc of maturity issues I’m fine with it. I’d rather take that risk than bring in guys like Jonathan Brooks who have a limited ceiling.
  9. If it fails, this dude is going to lose more money than all of us combined with how many shares he has haha
  10. Same. I’ve bought twice on the way down after getting in around $30. Need this sucker to pop!
  11. John Burt is the only guy I can remember doing that. The odds statistically are low for him and Evan Stewart to commit based on previous history.
  12. Just doubled my position at sub $14. Risk it for the biscuit.
  13. I know his resume is solid, but I saw shitty WR play last year and the spring game. On top of that, we aren't exactly killing it in WR recruiting either. Given the chance to go back, I'd still go with Samples over Coleman based on their 1.5 years at their respective programs. Just my opinion
  14. There are no shortage of aggy alums that will pay their players to make an appearance at Dixie chicken. We still have to have a bag game to compete in my opinion.
  15. Bro, I'm going to be on cloud nine singing errrbody when Arch commits.
  16. It's infuriating to think that keeping Samples here would have given us a huge leg up in DFW. We were in it for every Duncanville prospect and guys like Camar Wheaton who was on commit watch because of Samples. Instead we hired a fucking analyst that cannot recruit and has yet to show he can develop our WRs.
  17. The truth is that you can only sell promise for so long. I listened to the recent blitz episode where they analyzed 27 power 5 programs and Texas was dead fucking last when it came to developing blue chip prospects. Rod Babers is right that schools are easily negative recruiting us simply by showing them the data and our results. It's hard to argue with 10 years of data. Garrett Wilson said, talented WRs come here only to disappear and never be heard of. He's not wrong. In addition, the leadership within our program got lazy and let this entire thing slide. We were more focused on what fucking taco bell commercial to put on the jumbotron that keeping our program elite. Give aggy as much shit as you want. They managed to position themselves in the best conference, pulled a national championship winning coach to that shit hole, upgraded all their facilities even if it's made them broke, and figured out a way to compete with the Bamas, UGAs, and LSUs when it comes to buying recruits. Meanwhile, we let our facilities slide, stayed in a pathetic conference, hired 3rd rate coaches like Charlie Strong, and have a inflated image of our program thinking that elite recruits will come here regardless of results because we are Texas. Recruits would love to come here. We simply have to win. My hope is that Sark and his staff can accomplish that. Until we start putting players in the 1st round and competing for the national championship, we are going to see more of the same. The other option is that we start buying recruits like aggy but I've lost hope in that as well. I don't think NIL is going to have the effect people think it will at the moment. On the bright side, it takes 1 coach to figure it out. Look at Texas basketball. We might be the hottest program in the country right now. I never imagined seeing us recruit the way we are. If Sark can figure it out, recruits will line up to play here again.
  18. The Evans recruitment to me feels like it's going to end up like Jalen Waddle. According to ears to the streets on his podcast from a few weeks ago mentioned that Waddle had given Texas a silent during the spring of his junior year. He then started taking visits and it was down to the highest bidder. Evans feels the same way. I really hope Sark and the boosters have figured out a way to get his dad paid. We cannot let talent like that go out of state. At this point, the NCAA does give a fuck... we need to get his dad paid and let him take advantage of the NIL stuff.
  19. Well shit... Imagine the money hot volleyball players can make. Half the creeps on surly would be on their only fans account trying to sugar baby them up.
  20. Can the university pay a player to help promote the athletic department? Where are the rules for this? Can espn pay Bijan to make an appearance on the LHN?
  21. So when can we start the surly NIL fund? I'm sure we can muster up a few hundred bucks for Alfred Collins to make an appearance on our podcast. Let's show these recruits the power of $3.50 sponsors!
  22. Absolutely! Let's hope he can pull it off. If not, we can do much better.
  23. lmao, I still don't understand why the fuck Andre Coleman has a job at Texas. I could be way off base, but he doesn't push the needle in recruiting at all, what so ever. And I haven't been impressed with his coaching either. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since Herman probably fucked with the WR room but I was very much underwhelmed with the way our WRs played this spring. It's not like we don't have talent either.
  24. That all gas no brakes set up looks like it should be in some shitty high school prom. The fuck are they thinking? I really disliked Tom Herman but he at least got the ball rolling on facilities, locker room, and media. Bring back those white lights, that shit was way better.
  25. pump and dump on Wish. It's lost whatever gains it had this morning. I'm waiting for it to hit $19 so I can get the fuck out of it and get my money back.
