Recruiting Page

[immamac 43195]

Would you guys see value in adding a simple page dedicated to which recruits signed for which class and on what day + star rating and a link to their thread or that class years thread? 

[Huckleberry 33115]

Yes

[Reese Bennett 3617]

Sure. That'd be cool.

[Radical Larry 28664]

That would be the tits.

[Machinator 32099]

[BurntOrangeCrush 1026]

Yes

[Tex Pete 20526]

Yes.

Would it just be signees, or would it include guys who commit, the date, and their ranking at the time of commitment and any ranking changes as they occur?

[Gil Bang 26050]

pinned to the top of the board would be cool

[Laxtonto 12121]

All information is welcome... 

Especially if it is pinned at the top 

would be great to have each with a link to their 247 and hudl pages

So guessing just a resource page similar to below link, with no comments from Surly posters on that page/thread??  (Like a snapshot page)

https://247sports.com/college/texas/Season/2020-Football/Commits/

 

My answer is YES!!

Thx. 🤘

I’d appreciate if it had our own recruiting stories.  Maybe you should hire a guy...  come to think of it, I know a guy.  Best in the business....  last I heard, he was running a highly successful Facebook group.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

 

 

Wait.... what was the question?

[SydneyCarton 48207]

Yes. Less reason for tourists and The Casuals to ask dumb questions. Great idea man.

 

[Wishbone 4789]

Fer sure.

[satyanash 14638]

I'm on board - as long as the page starts with a detailed description of what CB stands for.

[Laxtonto 12121]

Is there some form of 247 api that you can imbed onto a webpage?

No, fuck them. The guys on this site do a great job of finding the announcements on Twitter and from the recruits themselves. We don't need some fake news shit from 247

[SuperSurly 21]

Would read. Nice

I don’t want to pull their breaking news, but instead use it to create something to pull all of thier UT commitment links to the page

who wants to volunteer to help maintain it?

[Tree Fidy 1174]

Can the Luicci 44 serve as the official ranking metric?

[TKthunder2 4998]

Can we get a roster table too?

we reference this out of date one all the time

[Radical Larry 28664]

I can help with that.

[blacklab 11955]

anyone else down for helping out?

[Machinator 32099]

I can help.

I have something approximating that here, but I don't know how to do table markup on this board.

247 caught on to how nice this is. Not all team sites do one.

That's the best-looking one I've seen, but it's still not up to date.

[texifornia 57167]

I can help, but I'll note this seems like the kind of thing @Machinator was forged for.

[Nivek 16992]

I offer to criticize. Shit is borked.

[immamac 43195]

We'll have a group of people that can help - just don't want any randos being able to edit it though. 

So rosters + recruits for football to start is what we'll do. Links to their respective threads and a link to the tweet/video of their commitment. 

I don't really like the idea of stars, do we want to come up with something else exclusive to surlyhorns how we rank them?

[Redneck Mutha 8017]

As long as I have a place to give the finger to aggy.

Also errbody else whose ass we kick in crootin'.

@Machinator is going to eventually need to be rebooted.

One thought: Have a panel of our self-appointed surly recruiting experts rate them on floor (not ready, contributor, star, e.g.), ceiling, and overall take urgency (pass, depth, take, hold a spot, e.g.). Assign numeric values to the ratings.

[Richter 2272]

I nominate @Hank Scorpio to write insurmountably positive articles about how every single news event shows how our program is surging and that we are still probably leading for each recruit.  No facts shall dissuade him.

so basically our version of Lucci.

I nominate Satyanash to counteract every positive take with an even greater negative response.

These are all good ideas. I think we should also give each recruit a nickname.

Reported Offers, but that could be tricky in one field and/or would require a scrape. 

[SA-KC_Horn 1295]

Will there be a 'Kate' alert when there's a new Texas commit for users who've subscribed to the thread?

 

[blacklab 11955]

it's not going to be a thread but a series of pages
