I really hope the staff takes both Lindberg and Karic, if they both want in. Loading up on quality OL is a quick way to beat the teams you should beat more consistently.

yep, and opposing coaches are running a very successful negative campaign on Texas. we seem to be doing very little to counter.

I don't know how many threads Derka can start about "the good ole days". I keep waiting for someone to call him out on it.  It drives me nuts.

The longer this recruitment goes, the less landing spots he's going to have. He's gonna fuck around and get Marcus Stripling'd. 

If he continues his delusional shit and wants to play DE in a 4-3, he's got even less options.  His choices got dinged again, since Oregon has taken 2 DEs in the past week and he'd be looking at DT or nothing there. If he wants in at Texas or OU he better come to a decision on the quick because neither is going to hold a spot for him. OUs depth chart at DE is a fucking quagmire of JAG bodies but I guess they'd take him with the thought that there's going to be some portal happening.

Here's my pessimistic (or realistic?) view of where we're at right now, with keeping the class small as to not fill up too much of the roster with reaches 
QB- Card, Jackson
RB-¯\_(ツ)_/¯
WR- Johnston,¯\_(ツ)_/¯, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OL- Garth, Majors, Parr, Lindberg, Karic
DL- Collins, Logan-Redding,¯\_(ツ)_/¯
B- Dorbah
ATH- Hullaby
CB- Crawford, Rogers
S- Thompson Jr,¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LB-¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Based on how things are trending with our top targets, I would think we have the space.

I'd love to see Bunkley-Shelton gain some momentum to go with Wilson; a Bunkley-Shelton, Wilson, and Johnston WR class would get the job done. There's also always Hester and Dixon. It's difficult to get too worried about landing WRs when guys who are "good enough" grow on trees everywhere. Worst case scenario, we can always poach someone from our farm system (TCU).

Same thing could have been said about Georgia before hiring a Saban disciple. We need to be playing the same game as the $EC and Oregon.

The Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at RB and LB concern me the most.

This. I know DL has been the main focus of the meltdown, and it does deserve attention, but it is so mind numbingly irresponsible to be where we are at RB and especially LB given what's on the roster now. Bijan changes the narrative at RB obviously but it looks like we're going fishing for a three star juco at LB again.

I'm actually fine with that. In the Big 12, you can go far with quick players of modest build if they are football smart and have a good mental eval. There's no place for players like Wheeler and Adeoye in the conference. What irritates me is that we don't have a plan, unless the staff happens to bring in a Marcus Tillman in next month's camp again.

I wonder if CDC has taken notice on recruiting yet

Expand  

CDC sees two top-3 classes in Tom's first two cycles and a 10-4 season. I doubt he's hovering over Tom's shoulder or tracking individual recruits on a day to day basis, keeping careful track of Vernon Broughton's tweets or which team Bijan Robinson is talking about behind the scenes at a Rivals camp.

Now, if we have another good season and turn in a fringe top-10 class, maybe CDC starts asking questions.

Yup, and we haven't won the Big 12 in ten years. Poor recruiting is the byproduct of years of underperformance coupled with some inept position coaches

Two straight top 5 classes and an NY6 win. Dude is on schedule.

You're not wrong but the JUCO we just brought in, Mitchell, fits the Dele/Wheeler profile. Caleb Johnson might end up Gary-lite, but he came in with a significant injury. Not exactly setting up for success.

Right. Goes back to my complaint about not having a clear plan at the position.

Iowa State's freshman MLB was as good as anyone we rolled out at the position last season, including Gary Johnson.

I just can't get too worked up about any of this. It feels like there are multiple times in each cycle where the recruiting game goes on tilt against us, and then it comes back the other way. Guys covering this stuff are too close to it and the recruits when momentum swings for a bit. One minute you're landing everybody and the next, no one knows your name. 

I do think I will laugh pretty fucking hard in a very petty, foreboding kind of way if Washington commits to OU. At this stage, going to play defense at OU over Texas is a fucking joke of a decision, especially for someone in Texas. And I know he's from California, you pedantic fucks, but he's here now.

Here I was making fun of sooners on twitter about how shit Grinch is for recruiting.. And they may land Washington.. damn.

Why are you tweeting about recruiting?

Why are you tweeting at Sooners?

Why are you tweeting, at all?

I may have referred to a few people here as shitbags, but that pales in comparison to the buttsweating pig fucker known as echeese.  I have a tremendous amount of disdain for that cocksucker.
