Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Thanks for putting in the work on this. It looks like most of those guys were cut / had their offers pulled. I think Eoghan Kerry was one of the few guys that Deon cut but ended up staying at CU to get their degree (with the scholarship still in place). Hampton and Moddon from 2024 were basketcases. Still kinda sad we lost out on Jonah Wilson from 2023 - if I remember correctly, he opted to stay in Houston because he had a newborn. Although I now see that he transferred to A&M after last season so fuck him too, I guess.

Weapons - Josh Brolin, Julia Garner
My theory is that the kids are part of some government program to brainwash people, to turn them into weapons against others and themselves. The kids are unwittingly expose to it in their classroom, by one of their classmates whose parents happen to work for the government. Their kid is the only one from the class who doesn't disappear. Eventually whatever happened to the kids will spread to their parents. I think it will look like something supernatural at first, likely as a cover, and as the investigation (spearheaded by Brolin and Garner) unfolds, the audience will be led to think it demons possessing the kids. The big twist about 3/4 of the way though will be that it's not demons but hypnotism or chemicals or something.

Love the part where they say that Florida could get the top recruiting class but it's too focused on being a top academic institution. Right. Because Texas is a famously bad school that spends all its resources on football.

If they keep overpaying players to come to BCS when those players have no real desire to be there, their locker room is going to continue to be an absolute dumpster fire. They will just end up poor(er) and frustrated. It's like coming home to an empty house after a long night at the titter, but sober and without the fun memories.

I believe what @Pato del Muerto was driving at above is that silents may be more reliable if they have signed up for NIL payments, forcing us to revise the conventional wisdom.- 2026 DL Vodney Cleveland

He’s putting up 750 yards and 10 TDs on the season. Dread him, run from him, but jaggy mcjaggerson is coming for you.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Fair enough. Thanks to this thread I probably read more from TexAgs and Gigem247 than I do from places like Orangebloods. I honestly have no idea what posters on OB are like, other than a vague notion that they must be somewhat dumb for giving their money to Ketch.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

Still, you would expect them to post screenshots. Or quotes. It's very easy to do.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

People are dogpiling you - and rightfully so - but I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness. You have correctly identified a problem - that you have to outbid many schools to win an NIL auction, and if we are committed to sticking at what we perceive to be "market price" then it only takes one school who is willing to pay above market to win the recruitment. That is logical, I will give you that. But you're forgetting some factors: 1. We are setting the market in June. What happens in December when we still have money at our disposal and decide to reset the market? Will that one school who outbid us be able to do so again? Will they be able to win a bidding war once we know our financial constraints and decide to go above market? 2. We are willing to go above market. We have been for several years now. Justus Terry, Colin Simmons, Ryan Wingo...etc. etc. etc. When a guy comes along who is a "must get," we aren't getting outbid by anyone except maybe Oregon. There are some guys for whom the market price doesn't have an upper limit. 3. There are tangible and obvious benefits to forcing your competitors to commit their limit resources to winning battles. I'm sure you've heard the expression Pyrrhic victory. If they have to overpay for guys we want but don't need, they have less resources to throw at a guy we need. Picking and choosing those battles is part of an overall recruiting strategy and Sark / the staff have shown they're very good at developing strategy in addition to being good at making the tactical decisions required to win individual recruitments. Losing recruits like Edwards, Bowman, and Lott sucks. But we've only lost them for now. And if the staff thinks we need those guys then they'll back up the brinks. But they can't buy everyone and we're clearly committing resources to winning more important battles. We'll circle back around to those guys later if we can. And, as other people have readily pointed out, it's June. There's still a lot of time left to close ground. Especially if we continue to kick ass and teams like USC and A&M continue to step on rakes.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I mean...ideally I don't do anything I can pay someone else to do for me. But I recently moved a 500 lbs gun safe by myself because it wasn't that hard and it was more convenient than hiring someone. Honestly, the weight of the locker doesn't bother me (provided I can find someone to help), it's the size and proportions. 750 lbs is a beast, no doubt, but if it's distributed evenly it can be manageable. But if that locker is top heavy or has some unusual sway, then it could be a job for the professionals.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @honolulu horn - what's the verdict?- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I that a fucking bolo?- Video of Texas new locker room etc.
It's not as hard as you would think, if you've got a good hand truck and a couple of dollies. Plus another reasonably strong adult man. Definitely need a truck or an flat bed trailer to haul it though. Either way, it's better than winning an auction for a pool table and thinking I'd made out like a bandit, only to learn that transporting the fucking thing was going to cost 100x more than the winning bid.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
"RC didn't offer" type shit. Is Howell really saying that A&M decided to cancel this kid's visit because they didn't want him negative recruiting A&M / working for Texas? Sure. If he's right, this is a fucking indictment of A&M. You know what closers want? They want to be in the room. They want that kid on campus so they can sell him. They think - fuck what anyone else has already done, I'm going to win this kid over. That's 100% what Sark would do and has been doing. Did he give up on Anthony Hill? Fuck no. He went to that dude's living room and closed the deal. If Howell is right, this means that Elko basically rolled over and admitted he can't compete with Sark and Texas. That he doesn't even want to try, because trying and failing would be a net negative. Born losers. Every one.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
