(Greg Biggins) Four-Star WR LV Bunkley-Shelton raves about Texas

  Reveal hidden contents

Biggins added:

  Quote

Texas did a great job with LV and is right there at the top of his list. USC is still in the mix and is kind of the childhood dream school and where most of his family want him but their recruitment has been hot and cold for the last year. Washington is the other school really high on his list and he'll officially visit all of them during the season.

"We headed to the restaurant inside and a few Longhorn fans were at the bar. They actually knew who I was and wanted to take pictures with me, it was insane. They wanted to hang out and talk Texas football, that has never happened on any of the other visits I’ve been on. I definitely had a home vibe there, like I was where I was supposed to be."

Nice work by the Texas support staff.

Someone asked Greg if he was going to put in a prediction, and his response:

  Quote

Not yet, LV is a great kid but also the kind of kid that I think is pretty impressionable and could change his mind on a school 3-4 times before he's really ready to commit anywhere. I feel good where Texas is at but I'm pretty conservative with CB picks so I'm going to hold off a bit.

I am not saying that payments do not occur, but all the complaining about another school paying more money for a recruit that doesn't select Texas is getting pretty old. If we wind up landing Bijan and LVB, many other schools' fans will make the same claims about Texas. Maybe my sarcasm- meter needs calibrating.

dude, no one is saying that about every recruit we lose.  but there are certain schools that do not hide that they play that game.  when a recruit lists a majority of those schools in their list, there's a fucking reason.  and there's a reason why we usually do not win those battles.

Someone posted this earlier - but I'm listening to it now and wanted to make sure others see it.  This podcast/interview with Bryan Carrington is fantastic.  Nearly an hour of Carrington talking about his life, how he got into recruiting (volunteering at UH for two years), and making a name for himself nationally.  Give it a listen:

The OU/Norman shade is a nice bonus.

This one has been done. GA played it well from the jump, mom works for the airlines and GA was the first to make sure a plan was in place that takes care of them both. I can't see the Ringo's backing out of it.

What the fuck are you trying to imply here?  She works for American as a F/A.  How is that relevant to being taken care of.  Are you saying they got some management clod at Delta who’s a Georgia backer to hire her into Delta management?

One of the sites (IT maybe) has mentioned that Loic Fouonji is someone Texas is keeping warm.  I'm guessing WR is one of those positions Texas waits to see if there are any Senior risers. 


Too many vowels.

I get this, but most of those schools are also just the best programs in college football.  If a kid is considering tOSU, Clemson, Alabama and Georgia it doesn't necessarily mean their dirty.  It could legitimately mean they want to go to the NFL.  Clemson has won two national championships recently and puts a ton of guys into the first round.  It isn't insane to want to go there.

No, no one is saying that about every recruit we lose. It’s being said about every recruit we miss out on to aggy, Jawja, tOSU, Oregon, USC, Clemson, Bama.. hell, even Florida when Rogers committed there. I get it, they pay players, but does it really need to be the center of the fucking circle jerk every time one of our top targets commits to one of those schools? It’s progressively gotten to the point where it’s turning aggyish. We know they pay, we know we don’t pay (or at least enough idk), but get over it. No need to bitch every. Single. Time.

Who said Rogers was bought? That seems like a straight up recruiting loss to me.

Reminds me of Peter Warrick. No, I'm not saying he'll have that kind of college career, but the wiggle, ability to sell a move or route with a shoulder turn, and separation ability all while being a 4.6 40 type of guy remind me of Warrick.

The fact that you mention Georgia as being one of the best programs in college football is proof that paying players is a pretty smart idea.

We reason (and rightly so, it would seem) that Texas does not deploy its divitiae alumnorum in an organized fashion to buy players. We benefit from unofficial and undirected support like $100 handshakes and "good jobs" for players. Is that about the extent of it? Does Herman work as hard to prevent it as Mack ostensibly did? Try to avoid learning what he doesn't want to know? How would we know how much "visit transportation assistance" and other SEC-style "love" springs up organically to help our team?

I agree it's becoming very aggyish. We fucking get it, some schools' old people are willing to pay recruits and their circle more than our old people. You don't have to type O$U every time we lose a recruit to Ohio State, especially when you were crying about Javonne $heppard for 3 months last year.

Different guy.... 

Other podcast was with Daron Roberts -- the founding director of the Center for Sports Leadership & Innovation (CSLi) at the University of Texas. He spent seven years as an NFL and college football coach after graduating from Harvard Law School.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-101-the-recruiter-bryan-carrington/id1157493210?i=1000441920575

Roberts has been featured in ESPN the Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek and Sports Illustrated. A lecturer at the University of Texas, Roberts focuses on issues of governance and innovation in the sports arena. He teaches two upper-division honors courses – Leadership Strategy in Sports and Disruptive Innovation in Sports.

He also developed a course – A Gameplan for Winning at Life – that is taught to all incoming freshmen student-athletes at the University of Texas.   (LHN has done a feature on this class.)  During the course of each academic year, Roberts teaches over 300 students.  Roberts is a contributor to Forbes.com, and his articles have appeared in The Dallas Morning News, Fortune, Houston Chronicle, Texas CEO Magazine and Time.

In the fall before his third year at Harvard Law School, Roberts decided to pursue a career in football coaching and wrote letters to college and professional football teams. The Kansas City Chiefs offered Roberts a training camp internship. He leveraged that unpaid position into an assistant coach position. From Kansas City, Roberts went on to coach with the Detroit Lions, West Virginia Mountaineers and Cleveland Browns.

Just a little more on Daron Roberts (podcast with Bryan Carrington)

https://sportsleadership.utexas.edu/about/staff/  

"Roberts holds a bachelor’s in Plan II Honors and Government from the University of Texas (2001), where he served as student body president. He then worked as an aide to Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut before continuing his education at Harvard where he earned a Master of Public Policy degree from the Kennedy School of Government (2004) and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School (2007)."
