I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through an extremely tough time lately. My fiance and I just recently lost our new born son a few ago weeks ago (and nearly

I’m just saying, stop reading into “my cousin says Ewers is going to Tech” tweets. This McGuire tweet is the one we really don’t want to see.

Oh c’mon, man! You really expect me to read and correctly interpret your concise, straightforward post? What am I, some type of rocket surgeon?

Roach saying nothing of value

Spoiler

— As Steve Wiltfong reported earlier today, Quinn Ewers is on a visit to Lubbock. The Red Raiders are sure to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the former five-star quarterback in hopes of boosting the start of the Joey McGuire area. We illustrated over the weekend the links that Texas Tech would have to him through friend and somewhat mentor Patrick Mahomes. I also wouldn't underestimate the recruiting ability of Joey McGuire. There's a reason McGuire has found success at every stop in his career, and his ability to build relationships and inspire people to follow him is the best I've ever seen. I also wouldn't underestimate the lengths Texas Tech boosters will go to setting up any NIL deals that could help them land Ewers. It's going to be an all out blitz, and we will have a better idea of what this picture looks like once the visit is over. Texas Tech brass wanted to show they had deep pockets when it came time to hire a head coach, and it wouldn't surprise me to see that extend to NIL deals in order to land a player of this magnitude.

— I spent most of yesterday talking to just about anyone I could get in touch with about the situation. I'll say that right now, sources in the Ewers camp and at Texas have been extremely tight-lipped. Read into that what you want, but sources in Lubbock have been a bit more vocal about things. I asked a source at Tech about the rumor that they would make a move on hiring Southlake Carroll head coach Riley Dodge in order to secure Ewers and was told McGuire doesn't feel he needs to hire anyone to win a recruit over. Of the sum total of info I've received, roughly two-thirds of it has been positive for Texas. I will say that the third that would be positive for Texas Tech is extremely positive. As I outlined on Friday, this would not be a slam dunk recruitment. Ewers' father is a businessman, and they are going to make sure they are in the best position possible to play, succeed and make some money through NIL. I say all this to say, if you're writing Texas Tech off in this race, you're setting yourself up for a potential disappointment.

— Texas Tech has more of the public buzz at the moment, and I think that's for a few reasons. For one, Quinn is already incredibly familiar with Austin and the offense of Steve Sarkisian having been recruited by him at Alabama and during the spring at Texas. Contrast that with the complete unknowns of McGuire, Texas Tech and their offensive coordinator situation which could get interesting if schools get into a bidding war for Zach Kitley who has been rumored as the top offensive coordinator candidate for the Red Raiders. Ewers will need to make sure those ducks are in a row before jumping into something. I'm sure the Texas staff is working to get in front of him and get him down to Austin at some point soon.

— On Friday I heard from a few sources that something could go down early this week, and if it did, it would definitely favor Texas. Since circling back with those sources there's been no new info, and the Ewers camp is circling up tight. Ewers was at Saturday's Southlake-Allen game as a spectator and I was told he was surrounded by a few people to keep anyone unwanted from pestering him. The most fascinating aspect of this recruitment would be pairing what Ewers told people in the past that he worried about getting elite talent to come play with him in Austin. That was when Tom Herman was still around and the program seemed to be stuck in neutral, but most people I've spoken with feel he'd have a harder time getting that talent to follow him to Lubbock. Depending on how this decision shakes out, we will see what ended up winning out for Ewers.

— For Texas, I know they'd like to get something done early this week and use that news to push down the stretch at signing day and land some top end talent. I've heard that Ewers has been talking to some 2022 talent including Armani Winfield and Evan Stewart. A source I spoke to yesterday told me they thought Stewart would definitely be in play for Texas again if the Longhorns landed Ewers. Stewart and Quinn both have great admiration for the other's skills. That source felt Texas could flip Stewart if Ewers chose them but Texas Tech wouldn't be able to lure the five-star receiver away. At the moment, there are some high stakes at play. There are also some potential quarterback dominoes here. Maalik Murphy is definitely watching to see who would join him, and a source I spoke with last night felt that landing Ewers could potentially hurt the pursuit of Arch Manning.

If Winfield is truly wanting back in, I think we know how this will go.

This is a major point to me. Pretty weird to turn around and try to get back in so soon unless something changed.

No one knows anything except what Ewers' camp wants people to "know". 

My feeling, based on zero information, is we are receiving the West Texas squeeze from Ewers' agents. 

 

This is the new way things are done for the super high profile recruits. You want the top QB recruit in the nation? Be prepared to pay up. There wont be any leaks or information from Ewers' camp unless its something they want to get out there, whether true or not. The Tech power brokers are more than happy to make this as difficult and expensive as possible for us. This may not even be the last school he uses as leverage. I wouldnt be surprised if a&m sniffed this out and said they arent interested in getting their fans hopes up and upsetting Weigman just to be used for leverage. 

Gun to my head, Ewers will be a Horn. (Now I will make my peace with God in case it gets blown off.)

Just a heads up:

Joey McGuire has tweeted the same thing each time he lands a commit. It’s the tweet linked below. If you see it this week, then that will be the most likely indicator that Ewers has gone to Tech.

 

 

Fuck that McGuire guy !!!   Hook Em 🤘

Do we know how the "paying up" works at this point? Do we make concrete offers, or is it more like "we have sponsorships lined up and you'll have [a minimum amount of cash] in your pocket?

If there was ever a time to tell your guys to put their money where the mouth is this would be it.

So, we need to out bid Tech for  Ewers then we get Stewart and Winfield back and profit? Back up the truck(s).

Also, if something like this did occur, besides the huge recruiting impact it would have, it seems like it would make us more attractive to any coaches we may want to pursue with that talent on board.

I don't specifically know what it means. Now I'm curious too.

This is a big ticket item. The DE guys can way overpay if they want and that might work, but it isnt a secret how badly QE is needed here. My guess is the bat phones are lit up like christmas trees in the big $$$ guys pockets.

Forgot Ewers had an NIL agent, and honestly that makes me feel a bit better. Makes this all seem much more likely to be a leverage play rather than an inexplicable emotional decision.

This.  And I'll take some more anonymous positive news to inject on a lazy Sunday.   Anything... Qanon errrr. QEwernon....

This, the kid wants to come back to Texas. Aggie already said they aren't interested, Oklahoma would make more sense than Raiderrash. closer to home, big program. Tech really makes no sense whatsoever. It's agent games if you ask me. Hell Tech may have more talent stacked at QB than we do. If he wants to start at a big program where  he can help bring in top talent, that sure as fuck isn't Tech.

Willing to fist your own ass on it?

Really feels like we could spend some time brainstorming alternative wagering stakes around here. You know, maybe come up with something that doesn’t end with a fist in the ass?

Just a thought.

I love how every few minutes for the last twelve years, adding up to tens of thousands of posts, some Internet tough guy comes onto a thread of shaggy/surly and calls everyone a pussy for contemplating a bad potential future outcome of some event - only to see future outcomes actually turn out worse than was ever contemplated. Twelve years and counting.
