The Mack Brown era of having 15+ announcements within 48 hours of one another is long gone. As someone very involved with marketing in their career, my view is that this is the way. We live in an era in which the player gets put completely on the pedestal and is expected to have their big moment if they're close to being nationally recruited. No one has to like that, but folks should learn to lean into it.

Can I get you to circle back to this point? Are you suggesting that we pivot our expectations as we synergize our recruiting strategies to gain traction with recruits? Thats sounds like a win-win.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to touch base here. May feel like drinking from the firehose for a while but it should eliminate a lot of churn long term.

It's not among our core competencies. We need to think outside the box.

Are you Mack Brown/Bobby Kennedy? 

Even if Livingstone put on 30 lbs he'd only be 205-210 lbs lol

Only if he can keep that 3.65 40 yard sprint time.

Yes, we must initiate an agile transformation.

I don't have any details. Recruits get access to all kinds of data and best practices when they visit schools. They also get a feel for the class overall. Relaying that shit and sending pics and stuff to other staffs isn't exactly considered good behavior. A guy getting into text groups and then openly trying to distract or mislead other guys in the group just to poison the well happens too. I don't know what happened, but it's clear something did. I don't think Texas would take his commitment seriously if he offered it at this point.

That's a lot of 6 dimensional chess to help out...Tech? A school we almost never recruit against?

You know good and well McGuire is going to blast all over creation that he took a player from Texas....you know just like the Big 12 runs through Lubbock.

Tech is the last regular season game that Texas will play in the Big 12. McGuire knows how important win against Texas would be for his job. It's at least possible that he would be willing to do whatever he can to get some sort of advantage.  To be clear, I doubt that the kid is spying for Tech. That sounds more like message board innuendo. But it doesn't seem unbelievably far-fetched.

It seems like high school Harry stuff.  IOW, it's plausible in this situation.

I was in Vegas, so I haven't talked to anyone meaningfully. @RGBIII or someone else might have heard miscellany from folks they chat with, but I've just had some text exchanges. 

Prior to last weekend, the plan for both weekends was to close the core of a well-rounded class heading into the dead period. After last weekend, things were on the right path. Gibson further confirms that. The Kibble situation amounted to "we're taking 5 guys (I think it is 5, if that isn't the number, he was still given the number) in this class and we have more than that who want in, so if you want to be a part of this program, we need to know that now, so we can plan accordingly" and voila, we have the 5th OL in the class. My view on the Saturday morning hype is that a bunch of dominos were falling over. They've fallen over. There will be a steady stream of commitments from here, probably almost all staged for maximum hype and perception. 

The Mack Brown era of having 15+ announcements within 48 hours of one another is long gone. As someone very involved with marketing in their career, my view is that this is the way. We live in an era in which the player gets put completely on the pedestal and is expected to have their big moment if they're close to being nationally recruited. No one has to like that, but folks should learn to lean into it.

I checked with some folks and it all sounded the same "This weekend was incredible, a home run, it was insane!" to which I respond "Sweet, how many jump in the boat publicly" to which I get mocked to the extent of "what do you mean? they arent going to come out publicly this weekend, are you crazy? Maybe next week or July". Silent commits are dumb and stupid to hang your hat on (Currently 7-10 of those, I am losing count). They may be plotting out some big momentum type stuff with consecutive days of commits but until they happen...meh

Can you expand on what Hudson did? This is sounding very similar to another “pump fake” done in a current war. Just make us think he is interested, recruit “hard”, but it was a ruse the whole time? Igotyougoodfocker.gif

Hes a turd. Id compare it to what that LSU corner did on his OV (Joseph?) play along but know where you are going and muddy the well the rest of the way. He burnt bridges. Also fuck HS WR recruiting, just snag them from the portal

I wouldn't be surprised if we see another Sr riser at TE like Pimpton last year.  Seems like they should be able to find a guy like that somewhere this fall.

I still think they fucked that up but whatever.  

Unless they get a portal guy I'm not very confident about what that room looks like going into 24.

Feel like we have to assume TE is going to take a huge step down after this year, at least in terms of receiving production. Ja’Tavion is just an incredibly rare prospect. Going forward I’d expect a little better than Cade Brewer’s 2021 stats with more emphasis on the WRs until we can get another elite athlete at the position. JT going first round would hopefully make it easier for us to recruit those types.

Have no fear, the Burnt Ends are here! I think people underestimate the room we have currently, especially with Helm and Juan, they are solid and will continue to improve. I think TE is a late rising group regardless, both mentally and physically. It even took JT time and he is an alpha stud. If we can get 75% of a JT after he is gone, we will be fine

Reading between the lines, its pretty obvious Simmons is in or at least is about to be. Dude aint going to Miami.

Its all conjecture and specualtion till he signs. This is about the only recruit that I am laser focused on and I know it will just be a giant mess the whole process. I do think we made some extremely good headway but lets to see what fucking lifewallet has to say about it, or harrahs or fucking C&C creations. Wake me in November on it

Probably will go for it every 4th down in the game.

You’ve seen his boots, and he chooses to style himself to look like fucking Tom Herman. He doesn’t always make good choices.

If she can get drunk enough to open a plane door, going home with RGB is definitely not out of the question.

I said it is plausible in the situation...that means it is believable dude.  The guy stlll goes by Joey in his late 40's and most of his coaching bones were made at Cedar Hill HIGH SCHOOL.  Not sure who you are agruing with.

Herman's wife worth it? Yes. Not even a question. Hot and crazy. I bet she shags like a minx.

Kendra Scott? I know many dipshits here mock the notion and claim they wouldn't touch her. Problem with that? I've met enough of you to know that damned near every poster saying that is lucky when they get to touch a woman. All day and twice on Sunday. 

So ... yes.

She's rich, famous, and good-looking. There is not a single straight poster on this board who wouldn't unless there was a moral issue related to fidelity for them. I've seen knobs like you guys do this all of my life.

That was unfortunate timing of posting. I’m down for Kendra. Not Mrs. Herman

FWIW, I know someone that is professionally close to Kendra Scott. They knew of the rumors, as did Kendra Scott and her husband. At the time I discussed it, years ago, they seemed believably perplexed about how the rumor ever became a thing. It didn't sound like Herman and Scott had any crossover except for a couple of functions and no one witnessed the two strangers sneaking off and disappearing into a closet. 

But, hey, when the story is better than the truth, the gossip mill and the Internet will both run with the story.

It was such low hanging fruit that posting it seemed like a win-win situation. I typically don't have the bandwidth for something like this and I thought about putting a pin in it, but it is what it is. I ran it up the flagpole, tried to be as granular as possible and put it in the pipeline, but the data never lies.

You can't corporate buzz your way out of this, Cumsteen. You'd give Kendra Scott the best 90 second ride of her life and then let her buy anything she wanted and place it front and center in your living room or kitchen. And you know it.
