Kid picked another school. It sucks. Trashing him by saying he got paid or because he’s too weak to ignore his dad and make his own decision is aggy as fuck. 

We lost.

I don’t think anybody is trashing him, we’re just stating the obvious in regards to what happened with CTJ

I was led to believe he was the Pied Piper of the I-20 corridor. Not sure how many targets are left there for '20, but I'll settle for just locking in Byrd, Quay and Ibraheem (and probably at least one more I'm forgetting) from '21.

Damn his dad fucked him over

Then again how could we ever compete with this illustrious list of Auburn Safeties and Linebackers drafted in the last decade: 

Deshaun Davis (2019 6th round) 

Rudy Ford (2017 6th round) 

Corey Lemonier (2013 3rd round) 

Auburn was clearly the better choice for his development

Well,  it couldn't be for their success with DB's in the NFL, and it can't be for their great engineering program there.  It has to be secsec....that's all that's left.  Bama is 10 years behind the rest of the country!  To be continued....

Anderson actually spoke highly of Texas to other recruits, if I remember correctly. But yeah, he went the ole miss path.

I think CTJr. is more flippable because of the prospects of a coaching change. Auburn being shit works more in our favor.

That said, if this went down like we think it did, it doesn't really matter.

This recruitment feels so much like Jalen Catalon from last year. Fringe 3/4star rating from the services, but a real baller that would have thrived in our scheme and everyone was really excited about. Sucks to lose him, but at least the depth chart cushions the blow.

I wish we wouldn't turn on each other. With all due respect (and I am looking at my ring as I type this) I wish you old army guys would join us here in 2019. This is NOT the same old 40 acres anymore. Now, the only way schools can compete with us is by giving out cash and vehicles, or in this case, a dad that got paid. All of us in here call it as we see it. This sucks but the nattys we are about to get because of the Herm is a nice consolation prize.

LOLOL... I mean, of all the schools, he chose Auburn, a school that’s been trying to fire their head coach.  The guy had committable offers from some decent schools.  Texas’s DB development is well beyond Auburn’s.  Diggs, Hill, Boyd, Elliot, Thompson Ofer the last 3-4 years.  Jones, Sterns, Foster, Cook, Green, Overshown will all get drafted.  He was a perfect fit for our Joker position.  Luckily we had some badasses coming in and we’re looking damn good in 2021.

Good luck to you CTJ.  Hopefully he can stay relevant at that 2nd tier program.

Except there were many reasons known for why Catalon would want to go to Arkansas.  His girlfriend went there. Morris’ sister was a teacher at Catalon’s HS. Morris was preaching up the Christian angle and Zach Smith’s stuff come out (his parents reportedly liked TCU a lot as well). 

Thompson was all Texas and then made a hard U-turn to Auburn over the last week or so. There really aren’t any connections for him to Auburn. Auburn doesn’t really have a great history of producing NFL DBs. Malzahn has perennially been on the hot seat. They also have a long history of paying recruits.

Their DB coach was at Ole Miss during the Freeze era.  Dad got a nice fat bag of cash. Has nothing to do with depth chart, NFL development, or academics.

No one wants to connect the dots re: Samples leaving and the sudden turn in CTJ's recruitment (although plenty will flame anyone who does, apparently). So instead the thread has turned into a "CTJ just got paid, no real issues here folks"-type narrative.

I think the impact will be felt again next cycle with Savion Byrd.

Stop with this aggie talk!!1!! Chris’ dad was just impressed by the number of fat trailer trash chicks and dudes with white power tattoos roaming around the greater Auburn area!

Auburn came into the picture before Samples leaving was a thing.  It wasn’t sudden, at least according to Roach.

I don't have any issues with a kid going where they want, but I sincerely hope my children are strong enough to follow their own dreams and not be dominated by myself or my better half if we have a different opinion.  I can respect that even if I think it's wrong.


I’m ok with it. See e.g. Broughton and Bijan

Not much we can do regarding Samples at this point.  However, if we have another successful season, I think that will significantly lessen the blow of losing Samples.

Har har. People are downplaying Samples' departure in a big way.

I will say that there's a lot more catalysis going on with the 2021 group, but it's important to have a guy like Samples in your corner with these types of recruitments.

Losing Samples hurt.

It likely wouldn't have made a difference in this particular recruitment.

Stop being dense.
