Texas Recruiting Notes 2020

Not questioning Johnston’s ability but why is his rating so high but offer list so meh?

 

Grade risk? Didn’t attend camps?

Doesn't report all of his offers.

FWIW, Cy Fair coaches think he's easily the most talented back they've coached since Sam McGuffie.

I think you took a wrong turn somewhere while writing this post.

Here’s to a great senior year for Eaton, or whatever else will get him a nice fat ratings bump in December. 

[GRHorn 105]

Guess the word is out. 

Some of y’all are saying you’d rather save a scholarship for a late riser. Doesn’t a raw athlete like Eaton qualify? I guess y’all wound like to see progress during his senior year before taking him, but looks like the staff is betting on it happening. 

[LebongJames 1,813]

I like getting guys from MacArthur. That school used to be a powerhouse can’t think of many guys who have come out of there lately. They were in our high school conference for a couple of years. They used to destroy our white ass team.

Does this mean we get Alford too?

His bias is too strong to efficiently perform the duties of his actual fucking job

I agree with this, with the caveat that, obviously, you'd rather he put out some senior tape showing development from his junior tape.  But if you don't have that option, better to go ahead and take the commit if you think he's got the potential.

He's not anywhere near polished, but he has the potential to be a shut down corner with huge size a la Holton Hill.

Well, we know the staff likes multi-sport players and Eaton seems to be good at pool volleyball, so it makes sense if they take him.

[Pato del Muerto 52,551]

Does taking Eaton now, if it happens, mean we won’t continue pursuing Rogers?

One thing I don't understand is why we want Alford. Everyone here seems to think he's a high floor low ceiling guy. What good is that in a stacked safety room?

I like him more than most here, mostly because I think his lack of athleticism is overstated. He's a safety who can cover inside guys in man (Omeire is slow, but he blanketed him in camps), and is a cerebral and technical player who should be where he's supposed to be when playing deeper; I think speed can be made up for at safety by being a quick processer, and it's not like he's really slow like O'Neal.

The biggest question for me is holding up in the run game against elite teams. If Yancy thinks he can bulk him up without him losing athleticism, then I don't see taking him as an issue. 

Get him in the program and have him learn boundary, field, and nickel, and maybe he'll start as an upperclassman. He's not Foster, Sterns, Owens, etc, but apparently you can't land some of the nations best safety classes every single year.

Guys, Auburn had the money to buy out Malzahn last year and the AD didn’t want to pull the trigger. Anybody thinking that money or logic will be issues with him getting fired hasn’t been paying attention.

Having the money or not is pretty irrelevant, right? The optics of actually spending it are fucking awful

Since when does an SEC school not named Vanderbilt care about optics if it gets in the way of football?

Safety room may not be so stacked after the 2020 season.

Would be more lulz if he had to post the Flip Flip Flipadelphia GIF

We’re experiencing two different realities if you think Auburn gives one fat rat’s ass about optics. They’ve made no qualms about buying players and defending it publicly. They’ve graduated players that couldn’t read. They’ve let donors pursue the hiring of the next head coach while the current head coach is fully employed, on multiple occasions. They’ve been sanctioned by the NCAA damned near as many times as any other school in history. All of this shit is documented and can be googled. There is a fuckton of ignorance about histories and behaviors with programs on the recruiting board, and it’s bizarre.

Piggybacking on @Machinator, you only get the really good stuff if it contravenes their narrative. Looch and Perroni have been prepping this one for a while, and it sounds like they'll get Alford, which will soothe any pain.

I'm not talking about their football program. To graduate the amount of student debt that any university graduates and pay that amount of money to buy out a football coach is at best, incongruous. As a university president, I don't see allowing that to happen in the era of twitter outrage.

[Hiphopopotamos 20,876]

Getting Eaton would push Texas into 6th place in the rankings - ahead of Auburn.

These were not the answers I was looking for.
