I read the thread the post came from and it seems like the poster was talking about another player that’s possibly going to flip from OU not Ewers.

Too late to edit,

“They just flipped the OU tight end recruit from Aledo.”

”Where do you see that?”

“Twitter. His handle is @jasonllew89 all his likes are tech related. Fellow commit jalon peoples is tweeting about it.”

“Also his girlfriend plays softball at tech”

ok this tells me that tech smoke is just propaganda. That kid has been liking Tech stuff since McGuire was hired AND he hasn't liked any ewers stuff, nor is he followed by Ewers. Totally unrelated

So to be clear, a 1.000 QB recruit hits the portal due to the jammed room at tOSU (makes sense)

He wants to make a quick decision before signing day to bring more talent with him (makes sense)

He can go basically anywhere in the country (makes sense)

...and people think he's going to go to a school that has a first time head college coach, in the big 12, without a current OC, whose recruiting is currently 7th in the big 12 and 48th overall in thr composite? (makes less than zero sense)

This seems like the biggest smoke screen in history. I can see him picking a ton of other schools vs Texas, I get that. But Texas fucking Tech? When his options include LSU, USC, OU, A&M and Texas?

He cares about earning money via NIL clearly and you think he's going to TEXAS TECH?

The football board is leaking all over the place.

TEXAS TECH? 

Why would Riley Dodge leave one of the best high school football jobs in the country for TEXAS TECH?!

That shit isn't happening.

Edit: so, to be clear, he loved Riley Dodge so much he left HS early but sure now he's following him to TEXAS FUCKING TECH?!?!

[Dbeasy 15094]

If the Tech and Brennan rumors are true, the only reasonable explanation is that Texas wasn’t willing to guarantee what Ewers wanted and felt they wanted a mature highly experienced QB to come in that they were confident could execute the offense competently.

Makes some sense, because if Ewers came in and struggled for a year learning it, and Sark went 5-7 again, he’d be a dead man walking. That’s all I got.

The Tech rumors are funny but meh, they should have said UTSA to really make our fan base have a collective aneurysm bc Sark/Traylor. Now that would have been funnier

If the end game is NFL, which it surely is, especially with QBs the scouts will find you.  How many highly drafted guys came from relatively obscure schools?  Perhaps he’s confident in his arm talent buying a first round grade and doesn’t want the possibility of shitting the bed on a bigger stage.  Essential to all of this is actually having some in game tape of your arm talent which he wasn’t getting at tOSU.  If they are willing to guarantee starting him and we are not that could be an argument for Tech.

Speculation, Speculation.  But if I were a video guru I’d find the video clip of brenna eagles “I ain’t going to no damn TCU and replace if for Tech.

CTJ did says yesterday that it was an alleged street fight for Ewers.


And has IT said anything yesterday? TFB and other 9.95ers made it seem like it was tech but didn’t know if IT conceded as well.

Strong was a dead man walking the moment he didn't push for Kyler. Sark is staring at the same outcome if he doesn't close this one.

Yep. CTJ described it as a street fight. Nahlin called Ewers a ‘hired gun’ emphasis on the ‘hired’ part. 
 

I have no doubt Ewers would love to come to Texas but I think I’d he is coming to be some programs savior he expects to be compensated for it. 
 

so NIL better sack up - because they’re going to need to write some checks (and a lease for a new F250).

I understand Tech isn't UTRGV, but we are the number one cash cow in college sports and supposedly have one of the top 2 NIL programs up and running. We shouldn’t be losing out to anyone because of resources.

Um - at the QB position? A lot. And more obscure than Tech. 

Josh Allen - 7th pick - Wyoming

Trey Lance - 3rd pick - SD State

Jordan Love - 26th pick - Utah State

Daniel Jones - 6th pick - Duke 

Jared Goff - 1st pick - Cal (they went 14-23 his 3 years there)

Carson Wentz - 2nd pick - ND State

That's just since 2016. If the NFL thinks you can play QB they will find your ass. You could play in Mexico.

If you're going to drive up a bid, you don't use Tech as leverage. That's like using a McDonalds cashier job offer to get more money in salary negotiations.

[utexas8 1469]

Yeah I feel like if there is the much smoke with tech, they’re not just using it for leverage.

[UTEE97 3524]

No one has pointed out the obvious that Ewers probably is scared of beating out Maalik and Card. Maalik just took Serra to the state playoffs and we all know what Card is capable of (just ask IT).

To be fair, Ewers would be an get of epic proportions for Tech historically. They're desperate in this situation too. Pitting desperation vs. desperation is a good recipe in stewing up a bidding war. In that sense, to UT, the idea of Tech giving the kitchen sink + garage apartment for Ewers is more believable/leverage than if it were instead...say...Florida, USC, OU or one of many other programs cut from better cloth than TTU.

To be fair, it seems like thats what they were trying to do with A&M, but that got shut down quickly. Why would A&M be the second school listed if they had no interest whatsoever? Difference between A&M and Tech is Tech actually wants him. The leverage thing could be in play but like @texifornia said, the immediate reaction of the players and the deleted B Harris tweet were not ominous. 

Edit: And if there was truly this much smoke around Tech and none for Texas, then where the crystal balls at? Seems like the decision would be crystal clear

Those are fair points. Could he even match his NIL money at OSU at Tech though? Even with the desperation.

That's true about aggy. I guess I could see a situation where most schools weren't willing to take the bait so Tech is what they're using since that's the school that bit on it.

Personally, I don't buy the Tech shit. I think they're making a heavy push but I don't think he's going there. I have no info on the situation though. Like I said before, I'm waiting for crapsmilf to weigh in on the situation.
