Perroni on Anderson

  Quote

The visit blew Bryce Anderson away. Like Harold Perkins, he was not expecting it to be anything like it was. He was another that felt the winning attitude in the air. Texas came in as the leader but A&M is a co-favorite at worst, now. I’ll have more of an update on him in just a bit but he is actually coming back on Tuesday. His younger brother is going to the youth camp and Bryce is going to spend the day at A&M. Jimbo Fisher made him a priority throughout the weekend and it made an impact

Give some time for post-official visit highs to wear off. If he's still really high on them in two weeks, then it was a real needle mover

Maybe they really did blow him away but even from their mods' glowing reports I'm not seeing much by way of prediction that they will actually win out. Feels more like they are setting up their story.

"The fightin ags did all they could and staged a furious comeback to get back into the mix but due to factors mostly outside of their control they weren't able to beat out the big12 squad." 

Made up a ton of ground isn't the same thing as took the lead. We're at worst a toss up with our visit still to go. 'If even, we're leaving' corollary applies.

yep it's like the Fong post about Banks ranking LSU #1 right now..  Yet he didn't dare put his custom confidence 4 CB on him to LSU.

Every school's 9.95ers, including ours, are going to say the visitors were blown away, everything went amazing, their school made up a ton of ground, blah blah blah. Ours for this weekend read exactly the same. Will be more telling if IT etc start to soften their tone at all.

There was a time where I was on ketamine mdma and ghb at the same time. I took some magic mushrooms to calm down with a handle of jack Daniels. I still wasn’t fucked up enough to come up with something like this

Just adorable. I'm sure most of his subs will be able to pick up on the subtext and won't get too far over their skis here.

No doubt, we got a 10/10!

The difference is everyone here understands he'll visit Notre Dame next, also be blown away on that visit and likely commit there shortly after.

I was a journalism student when I first came to UT. Rabid Longhorn fan. What could be better than getting a job as a sports writer covering your favorite team and other college teams? Either that or be a news reporter.

A few years go by, and I notice the tedium of reporting the sames things over and over every year. The games and teams differ, the dialogue not so much.

To top it off, a newspaper sportswriter wrote a column complaining about how the athletes give the same answers year after year. That may have been the moment that I realized that sportswriters are (as a group) the dumbest people in the world paid to write. Hey, Ace, why do you think you get the same answers? Could it just be that you ask the same questions every year?

Perroni epitomizes my opinion except things have got worse because he doesn't have copy editors or content editors.

Player X was blown away because A&M hit it out of the park and gave Player X plenty to think about. The Aggies made up a lot of ground on The University of X who was considered to be in the lead. The visit was way better than Player X expected. He loved the family atmosphere and the fact that A&M is in the SEC. All the pieces are in place to win. Jimbo knows what he's doing.

I suppose I should be happy for Perroni and the other troglodites at Texags for having maxed out their potential on the bottom rung of the intellectual ladder.

With all of that being said about 9.95ers, this is a weird year and we could see a lot of leans change their minds quickly. No one has had visits before now, and bags be dropping. So hopefully this is typical Perroni BS but you never know..

Posted (edited)

Isn't buying an already-bought player some kind of unwritten faux pas? Where's ctj, I feel like he said something like that

I admit that I almost like this escalation of bag game between UGA and Aggy. Those two seem to be breaking away from the pack. Countdown to SEC/NCAA putting Aggy in their place

So the 7v7 championship in College Station is the same weekend as his OV to us? Not sure I understand why that makes Roach confident he'll make it to Austin lol

That's the reason why a lot of the "regular" reporting/newswire type of shit is already automated and has been for a few years now. Computer programs do this job. At least in financial reporting I have seen this happen, and probably in sports reporting too-- for example, in writing out the game summary.  Humans probably are now mainly involved with writing fluff pieces or over-arching thematic stuff happening in their particular wheelhouse or (rarely) in the investigative arena.

Bear's twitter post during his OV to A&M pretty much said what was going to happen. He had tagged one of his school coaches (guess that's the guy who drove him to C/ST?) who is a Bulldawg fan but his post was that he started from zero and had nothing, and has to make decisions that are right for him. 

I think it's great to be wanted, and to have your choice of where to go.  All this bag stuff is fan board innuendo until proven otherwise. :)

What is position depth for safety at UT right now? Bryce Anderson likely can't start right away at A&M. But it's all about how the sales pitch is made, I suppose.

Again, I think A&M's most impact need is at shutdown corner spot; I sure hope landing Nick Williams from UGa is what's about to pay big dividends in this regard. Having recent ex NFL-pro Antonio Cromartie on staff (along with his version of the "swagcopter"-- remember that!? lol-- doesn't hurt either).

Could this have come from O'Neal since he was the host?

“Texas is going to have to show him a lot to outdo A&M,” is something that was said to me by someone close to him.

It depends on the situation. Based on other similar situations, the handler typically gets paid the fee to visit. They use that school as a stalking horse bid. They don't accept any actual money for the commitment. Georgia was probably surprised he committed and probably expected to be asked for more at some point. A&M was the real player in the game and just needed something to push them to a different amount. I have no inside info on Alexander, but that is how I suspect it might work. Most people thought it was Texas or A&M all along with A&M in the lead (per the $9.95s), then he makes a random commitment to Georgia. So it would make sense they were just playing the game with A&M.

Leads are fluid in situations like this. I still think Texas is the favorite but Texas A&M made it interesting. Alabama will too.

That's a pretty awesome update for <checks notes> Mike Roach.

Aggy's reporters recruit for them. There is a huge difference between what they do and what everyone else does. And consider that in our case, we have people like Fat Ketch who can't help but fuck up our recruiting efforts in some cases. Ketch is bigger than the program. (Yeah, I know...)
