Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

It's not Ransom when all parties are willing participants, dipshit.

Every time Simmons said "Family" in his speech I heard "I'm setting up my family and taking care of my little brother." Big ole' Evil Texas for doing thsoe things....legally. They can get fucked, I'm sure they'll still have plenty of home grown players who stick around for nutria chitlins. But they are litterally on wire tap talking about cheating and got busted funelling money through a fucking hospital, and acting sanctimonious. They can get all the way fucked, stay fucked, and die of got fucked poisoning.

It don’t make a shit. 

Well, I mean it does in the sense that there's not an infinite amount of money and it sounds like we had to make a larger counter-offer yesterday.

I'm curious if that's liable to make less available for Black, Mack, or whoever is left on the board.  Or does LSU now have more money available for McKinley. 

Regardless, it's satisfying to win one of these instead of lose it to LSU or Aggie and then we find out it was a relatively tolerable amount if paid through legitimate means.

This was an easy sell for Brian Kelly as he has put together 6 straight 10 win seasons, a feat Sark has yet to  accomplish in like 12 years as HC. Best chance for success and CFP is at LSU under Kelly, rather than Texas under Sark. 

update?

FWIW, adding Kobe Black on the calculator puts us 1 spot above the Ags in the class rankings…

That’s actually pretty crazy considering how much the ratings services have shit on our commits after they committed to us.
 

Damn near every player on our commit list dropped after committing to us and ,the opposite has happened for aggy, and we’re 1 player from passing them anyway.

This is a huge commitment for a number of reasons, including that going forward LSU knows that they aren't going to win recruitments in Texas that Texas is all-in on.

They can get fucked all the way back to Harvey Williams thru Kary Vincent's bullshit and Ben Wilkerson and K'Lavon Chaisson and Jamal Adams and Harold Perkins and on and on and on. Get the fuck out of Texas and feel free to look east to Georgia and Florida to fill out your roster.

I assume they're bitching about NIL. You know, the fans of the team that just bought a baseball championship with NIL.

Wish we would buy us a baseball NC, but I feel better knowing that Augie built his like a mfing boss. 

 

But we definitely need to step up our baseball NIL or else LSU will be the equivalent of ou softball.

Wasn't it just 48 hours ago you were on here telling everyone that it was 100% over and he was headed to LSU?

No. I literally said I had no idea where he was going and didn’t have special knowledge but it was trending LSU’s direction and people were right to be worried as at one point in time he was a silent here and then he wasn’t. 
People here have told you that we sweetened our offer in the past day- and we were having that discussion like 5 days ago.

Sarkisian the difference in landing 5-star Colin Simmons, another championship level recruiting win for HookEm

Steve Wiltfong
 

Duncanville (Texas) High five-star edge rusher Colin Simmons announced his commitment to Texas on Thursday, choosing the Longhorns over LSU and Miami among many other suitors.

The difference in the recruitment?

"Head coach." a source in Austin told 247Sports shortly after the decision. "Elite."

Simmons told 247Sports National Analyst Mike Roach who was on the scene for the commitment that he made his final decision late the night before and a Texas source added he believed that to be true.

So with that being said, that's why the intel was so murky down the stretch. LSU still felt good on Wednesday afternoon after having conversations with the Simmons family. Miami was trying to stay alive. The Longhorns got it done.

Going back to that word elite, that's how the Texas program has been recruiting under Steve Sarkisian and this staff since arriving in Austin. Two-straight top five classes coming into this cycle, stocked full of difference makers in every position room. No program in the country has recruited quarterback and running back better than the Longhorns since Sarkisian and company have taken over. We see a ton of speed in the receiver room and not sure a program has recruited a more massive group of offensive linemen over the last two cycles than Texas has.

Simmons adds to a defense that has improved every year under this staff while continuing to significantly upgrade the talent. He might be the most explosive and ferocious edge player in the class and joins the likes of guys like former top-ranked linebacker Anthony Hill, swiss-army knife Jelani McDonald, talented cornerback Malik Muhammad, defensive end Colton Vasek, linebacker Justice Finkley and cornerback Terrance Brooks who are incredibly talented players that could've played their college football anywhere in the country.

Texas has the juice to be a mainstay in the College Football Playoff hunt and Simmons has all the ability to be the face of this defense down the road. He rises to the occasion in the biggest moments.

Back in December in front of 40,000 fans in the title tilt, Duncanville defeated North Shore 28-21 to cap a perfect 15-0 season with Simmons earning defensive MVP honors for the game after registering three tackles for loss, two sacks and wreaking havoc all evening including a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage that one of his teammates turned into an interception. He finished the year with 33.5 tackles for loss and 22.5 sacks.

“I just think his quickness off of the ball is really special,” Duncanville head coach and Lone Star State legend Reginald Samples said. “He really knows how to torque his body and make himself look skinny. He does the things that are just right for an edge rusher that really makes it hard for a big guy and offensive tackle to contain him. I think he plays pretty consistent all the time. He’s a smart player. He watches for down and distance and if he knows it’s going to be a pass, he turns into something different off the edge. He turns into a different kind of a player.”

A special player for sure but the secret sauce is all the sweat equity Simmons puts in that folks don’t see.

“Putting in the hard work and dedication, working out more than once or twice a day, three times a day, having the mentality to want it,” Simmons has told 247Sports in the past. “Everybody has to have that mentality they want to win and get better and do right for themselves. That’s just me. I have that mentality to want to get better, want to be the best, want to be on top.”

The 247Sports Composite’s No. 4 prospect regardless of position, Simmons ability is what attracts college coaches but once they get to know him they love the intangibles as well. He’s a team leader that has life perspective beyond the sports arenas he competes in.

“There are times when I’m a little hard on the team and he’ll come and he’ll talk to me about where he feels like we are as a team and he’ll pick my brain on exactly on what’s my thinking about certain situations and how we’re approaching things,” Samples said. “It’s always good to know players are thinking out of the box.”

Burnt Ends benefits the tight ends and sometimes with overages, they help other guys out. TOF goes to the program and other programs at UT (if you choose). If TEs are really important to you, push in on BE. If they're important but so is the rest of the roster, then split it. 

 

Mosty correct - all overages actually go to the TE, the profits from surlyhorns at the end of the year go to other players - it's not an IRS non-profit, but I run the books with no profit and pay the players as much as possible out of the profits after tailgates, giveaways, hardware, community development etc. On average we are paying out an extra 30k/year to players in the form of BAMF or random shit.

How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense.

In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a player is enrolled and can provide value for their name, image and likeness.

I have already told you guys what the priorities are and nothing has changed, nor have expectations. Nothing this week was out of scope in assumptions being made from the Texas end.

Seems like LSU might have just been fucking around, and now they've found out. Their whining and pouting, as referenced here but also offline, is schadenfreude. I have always told the fucking SEC cheaters and their ilk that there would be a reckoning some day if Texas ever decided it had a payroll to meet. That reckoning is here.

The days of just watching badasses head to shitty schools out of state because those schools were doing illegal shit are over. Every whine from Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, LSU, etc., is an admission of their own flaccid ability to compete in a new era in which the scales are no longer tilted solely in their favor.

"Oh the game done changed. Make it stop. We need an intervention!"

The game is the same. It just got more fierce.

That's how this shit always goes. Once the "rumblings" start, he's as good as gone. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he commits to us but I've seen this way to many times to expect anything else.

SHUT UP YOU BIGGITY BITCH!!
