Any 9.95 updates on if we're going to offer that JUCO DL Titi? 

We should get out in front of this one with an offer because I think he's about to get a flood of offers soon. OU's DL coach started following him tonight.

Actually, the butter chicken at Taz is pretty good. If you ever find yourself in College Station, and you have to eat somewhere before escaping, Taz is the best place for lunch. 

I can promise you that you aren't likely to run into anyone there who is not either a foreign student or a disappointed professor who couldn't get a job at a real university.

I was talking Terry Price's butter soup with chick'n chunks, but good to know - the Indian diaspora has saved me from many an otherwise shitty food desert.

We don’t want to move on Titi too fast right when we first meet.  You can’t be too eager like that.  You have to play it cool, set the mood first, build a rapport, keep things chill for a while but tease it a little bit to test the waters, and then you start to escalate, and when the moment is right, that’s when you decide Titi is a take.

This sounds a little rapey.

Damn straight. Funny thing is, up until just a few years ago, there was a different Indian food place here in College Station, and it sucked. Taz drove them out of business, not just because they were better, but because this place can't support more than one such establishment. Hell, there's not a single Greek place in town; only one pupuseria; you want Thai? Keep driving. Around here, if it ain't white, it ain't right. "Food desert" sounds too lively to describe the food scene here.

Its my understanding that ‘offer’ is generally associated with scholarship - especially this early in the cycle. Is that wrong?

You don’t usually see PWO’s until much later, no?

Mensa is changing the game offering PWO earlier now too

Coaches “offer” PWOs all the time.The fact that it came from Horny makes me think it’s not a scholarship.

We probably wouldn’t use another ship on a punter until at least 2021.

I don't know, if they found a guy they really liked I wouldn't be opposed to it. He'd be a redshirt freshman when Dicker/the punter's cousin are seniors. 

Expand  

If we take him in 2020, he’s be a RS sophomore by the time he can start (assuming the punter doesn’t declare early like his cousin). Idk if I’ve ever seen a coach stash a scholarship punter for two years.

Dunno but it would not surprise me either way.

Mack Brown actually did this. I think the punter was something like Justin Smith? Anyway, he ended up never punting in a game and cost the program a scholarship for 4 years.

There was no joke. I was being serious. You had mentioned somewhere that you get more excited about special teams players than most. I was also assuming that it was a PWO invitation.

Tom's pitching a tent off of that one. Just realized they set up that court on the practice field, it was a great night her in Austin. For all the tough weather they had for June events, last night made up for some of it.

Grab bag of updates from reading around:

  • Hester still has Texas at the top of his list. Might commit before the fall. I assume (hope) this is contingent on whether the staff is willing to take him this soon or not.
  • Wiley has been recruiting Quentin Johnston hard, and QJ might decide before the season starts. Other contenders are Baylor, TCU, and OU.
  • Collins still maintains that he would like to take his OVs before deciding, and that Texas will get an OV after the season is over. Broughton is in his ear.
  • LV Bunkley-Shelton is here with his dad, and they seem to be liking it, but probably no commitment this weekend. This visit should probably solidify an OV, though. Apparently LV's dad was texting Super K for bbq suggestions in Austin.

Is there a reason for Quentin Johnston's offer list? Seven of his eight offers came a year ago (September-October 2018), and then nothing until Feb. 2019, when we made it eight with our offer, and nothing since then.

He has a reasonably active Twitter, and he re-tweets his teammates/friends' offers, so it doesn't look like he's a Porter-type kid who doesn't report offers or anything.

He's one of the most quiet recruits of the cycle. He doesn't report all of his offers. Remember that Texas' offer came well before 9.95ers were aware of it.

I don't know if I should even be putting these updates in this thread anymore, but Evans is at Georgia today after visiting A&M yesterday.

This guy really knows how to get the money flowing. LSU, A&M and Georgia the same weekend. 

Could this be anymore obvious? Just gotta squeeze in Alabama next.
