Sark rocking a Rolex Submariner(?), while Blake Gideon looks like he has a Timex Ironman 😄 Pretty big divergence, even accounting for the difference in salary.

Think he was the lowest rated of that crew, too. I remember when he committed and Higdon was saying how much of a steal he was. Ah, memories.

If this confidence backfires again, especially with a recruit as important as Simmons, InsideTexas is going to look so bad. Nahlin may break the all-time pettiness meter.

Not just IT, the 247 guys have the same confidence.

But is their confidence falling? Is LSU making a late push in the recruitment? Are they surging? Has the clerk at the 7-Eleven on MLK chimed in?

It’s way too hot for Roach to have his ear to the streets. He’d suffer severe burns. So, he’s not hearing anything.

After reading Frenzy’s Twitter posts, sure seems like more confidence by the LSU mods than what our guys keep rehashing.

He just came off a visit to LSU so of course they'll be more confident. A better comparison would be how confident the Texas guys were after his official visit here. Regardless I think the main thing to watch out for here is if Durham and Simmons are announcing together.

No doubt there is an elevated confidence right after a visit, unfortunately announcing right after the LSU visit doesn’t seem ideal imo. Sure the hell hope they aren’t announcing together.

Remember CTJ posting a couple of months ago to forget about Simmons. He was infatuated with LSU. Then Texas disrupted things with an amazing push. LSU just spent the weekend matching that push. I’m leaning to CTJ’s original thoughts on this one. As long as LSU convinced him that they can match it all. Just like when CTJ laid out why Gipson to Clemson made the most sense.

LSU also fumbled some things and he reportedly caught coaches in a lie?

I thought he was saying forget about Simmons until NSD1 because the recruitment was going to not end until then? and that if it was a NIL push, Texas would be in it/had the money but that it would take some twists and turns (which it has)?

if he has more faith in Jimmy Lindsey putting him in the NFL than Bo Davis, then best of luck to him. but if it was about putting players in the NFL exclusively, wouldn't he go play under Freddie Roach at Alabama?

This is all true, but if it was my money, Simmons is the one recruit to emphasize this cycle. We need to keep the best players in state and keep LSU and Alabama out. We also need to keep the Dallas pipeline alive. Letting LSU get another Chaisson sets a bad precedent.

Yep, I’ve seen one school repeatedly land top level Edge talent and one not. Quiet confidence just stands out more to me.

CTJ also said Texas was not going to lose Simmons over NIL. From what we know, if we are going to blow our NIL wad on anyone this cycle, it’s for Simmons. This kid seems to be big on personal branding and maximizing his NIL potential, and the opportunities in Austin are going to be much better than in Baton Rouge.

One thing IT guys keep saying is that Simmons is extremely savvy about recruiting. That leads me to believe that none of the 9.95ers have the full story. This seems like one of those recruitments that we will not get full clarity, until Fong does his thing hours before the announcement

CTJ has said that NIL will not be a reason we lose Simmons.

The LSU on3 mods (Shea Dixon and Billy Embody) both seemed more caught off guard and were talking about a December decision coming out of the weekend. Even Dixon said last night that he doesn't have a true feel for these type of recruitments until the decision date is closer. Spiegelman, who is from Louisiana and has tons of connections, called it a coin flip on Monday when interviewed by a LSU radio station.

Look if we're all gonna hang on everything CTJ says, it was also mentioned that while Simmons was very publicly pro Texas earlier this year, is when he was leaning LSU, now we're seeing the inverse. Why not just let it play out?

I am still of the opinion that he goes with LSU. Others who often know better have more confidence on Texas than I do.

This is correct.

This is not correct. I said NIL won’t be a reason that Simmons goes elsewhere. Beyond that, Texas will never do something that could get people fired and put a story at the top of the sports sites. I don’t think this recruitment is heading in that direction anyway, so no big deal, but my statement holds true for every recruit Texas goes after.

Because we're on a message board where we discuss things like this and hang on the edge of our seats to every report and tweet? If we didn't do that then this message board would be innactive.
