Official or unofficial visit?

Wasn't it Hudson who had a sister baylor offered a scholarship to help persuade him into committing to them as well?

I cant imagine how getting the daughter into baylor would be a positive for the parents...

I take zero comfort from anything that Rivals says.  They’ve fallen almost as hard as hornfans.  

Yeah, I’m not sure how current or good Spiegleman’s info is with Broughton. Maybe we do have a big lead, but this is t a datapoint for me.

We must have finally got our ace recruiter, Giles, in the door on our running back targets with all this positive information lately.

While that may have been a contributing factor, I believe there was a shady Baylor alum that was the head coach of Silsbee.  He did some funny stuff with Hudson's LOI and they actively tried to keep him away from Strong IIRC.

Hate that it's OSU of all schools. You know they're going to negative recruit us hard given the tensions with Herman..

I don't see Ryan Day having near the same venom as Urban.

Herman is a notorious "nice guy"; he would never.

247 says McClellan has already taken his OU OV. That makes this a lot more interesting to me.

He OV'd during their spring game when they used something like 20+ OVs on one weekend.

I realize that. That is Hermans reaction to being called a nice guy sarcastically.

Exactly. Herman, being the nice guy he is, was yelling at Gundy and not his players. That's what Gundy asked for. He's a man, he's 40.

I'm kinda dissapointed that we didn't get a sequel to that when he turned 50

This staff doesn't talk about other schools. It is a clear and concerted effort and it's from the top down. When asked directly from a recruit/parent/person, the answer will always be a pivot to talking about Texas.

It's not about being morally superior it's about understanding the fucking brand. Charlie Strong never understood the brand. He had a billion failures but his inability to understand the brand was numero uno. Herman understands the brand, he's been on both sides of the fence and is fully capable of rolling in the mud with Fatterson, Urban, and the like.

Not a big deal. Bijan probably likes stewardess hookers.

Per OB 

Spoiler

Also, new DE offer Van Fillinger had told me he may return to Austin this weekend for an official visit, but he told me tonight that trip won't happen. Not yet anyway. He was also considering a Nebraska visit for this weekend but won't be taking that one either. No visits next weekend, so he'll have to take his official visits in the fall. I'd expect Texas to get one of those trips if the staff pushes.

 

[lemonandaturd 4289]

Collins, Fillinger, and Broughton would be a welcome DL start to this class.

Yes.  He's not going to play off the LOS.  He actually plays 4i at HP.

Well, it’s justified when we do it. It’s absurd when someone else does it though. Don’t they know that We’re Texas?

[lemonandaturd 4289]

I doubt Ryan Day is a pimple on Tom Herman's recruiting ass.  Urban is gone and is in hiding until he gets all the gold in California.   Just like when Pete Carroll left USC, shit went downhill fast.
