Hmmmm.... I think a certain game on September 7th might help with one of those “hidden targets”.

That target may even be committed to the team that’s gonna get their ass handed to them in Austin, September 7th.

Porn1 star is not a requirement.

Maybe the guy has shared what he's comfortable with, and everyone should stop trying to go around poking shit with sticks when it clearly came with the caveat of "The staff doesn't want his name out there."

You're saying you don't want Surly to pull a Ketchum vis a vis Kyler Murray?

The plan at LB is:

-Tillman looks great and might end up starting this year (is he the most unheralded signee? at least the most unheralded early enrollee, but critical if he really is developing in such a manner this early)

-Gbenda takes a similar jump on the learning curve as he settles in (he was expected to be the early contributor but wasn’t an EE)

-Floyd gets medically cleared (I don’t see it)

-One of the JUCO signees makes an appearance as a player

-stay on Chris Thompson and see what happens if Auburn falls apart (does the payment to the parents keep him locked in with a new regime? is this guy an EE?)

-one of Hullaby and JQJ becomes an LB

-if Overshown isn’t made of glass, does he eventually see LB-esque action with a DB label this season and does that work for him and the defense? 

-Owens might fit that bill eventually if Overshown doesn’t 

-they have a target that they do not want to be public right now (they’re hoping he stays hidden, a la Gary Johnson in 2017, or he’s committed elsewhere and they feel really good about a flip)

-they will scour the transfer/GT landscape all the way up to next summer

So yeah, none of us feel like LB is sorted, but Orlando has a lot of optionality, which he craves. 

Interesting info. Thanks. Seems like Todd views scheming and preparation of the defense as whole as his main responsibility, which it is. Recruiting his position group is secondary and a lemons—>lemonade kind of thing. 

[Bevo 13524]

I'm thinking I would prefer that the porn star feed me pizza. I mean, I would most certainly enjoy the bj, but then I would worry about an std for the next few years. Fuck it. Just bring us a bmf linebacker.

That lb rundown didn’t mention josh white, at least by name.  On purpose?

I have no idea who the player is. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I view Josh White as a missed opportunity that they will not be able to fix, but sure, maybe that's the guy.

Well, if a porn star offers me pizza or a blowjob, I'm taking the blowjob.

Was the specific gender of the porn Star specified? Better read the fine print.

One of the more existential of this thread’s meanderings, this is.

I think it was somebody named “Candi”. Not 100% sure of the contract though.

Then maybe fire one of your two WR coaches and hire a LB coach/recruiter? Just spitballin' here.

Be sure to read the fine print. There's a lot of 3rd party delegation going on with that account.

[runthebone 7932]

Is one of the pizza toppings penicillin?

 

That would definitely impact my answer.

[Bevo 13524]

Well, maybe Sydney is right. This is how you fuck up a perfectly good bj and pizza. Let's hope Friday night isn't a washout.

Except "porn star" implies that she was paid for her services.  Rumor is Candi doesn't get paid, she just does it for the love of the game.

Hell, I damn near did, and it would be understandable if most in here did given the angst with regard to RB recruiting in recent times.

She would’ve gotten paid if she’d had a better lawyer and a lot better discretion.

I think it’s OK these days if ze self-identifies as female (Subliminal exception applies).

[George Clooney 378]

There’s a juco LB who retweeted this a few days ago, maybe it’s him. I’d link his 247 profile, but I don’t want to possibly have any part in fucking up their strategy.

I'm watching a movie with Kate in it. Does this count as good luck? 

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Seka or Candi?  Who you got?  A 60 year old porn star or Jimbo's ex-wife?  

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Seka carries a little extra weight these days

Almost 12 hours into the weekend, still no Jerrin Thompson commitment. I don't think I can handle another Thompson disappointment. Panic time?

[trythisathome 971]

This board could use a good panic to get back into form. We've been getting too soft and rational ever since Broughton committed.

Langi must be using his strong Polynesian ties to find a linebacker.

Not playing a down all season won't necessarily hurt him. SEC, bro.

Langi has to be referring to Texas kicking Jimbo in the stones on the recruiting trail.

In all seriousness, Langi has been following a bunch  of LB recently. I think he's definitely involved in LB recruiting.
