Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

Listen to everything you just typed. 247 posters and Parker Thune

Maybe it’s really a bidding war, if so we wouldn’t hear it directly it would be dog whistles like driving distance, and people that are involved behind the scenes would be pissed and pointing fingers at programs making ridiculous offers, etc.

247 posters are in panic mode, apparently saying that clown OU mod Parker Thune is saying it's OU for McKinley and Texas is out of it.

But I was told he is a serious student who wants to major computer science!

A recruiting meltdown during game week? Prepare your server anus, Imma

[Chuckie Finster 22598]

Didn't Thune have to take a break from his honeymoon like a week ago to apologize to the fanbase for incorrectly predicting someone to OU?  And suddenly his word is gospel again?  Fucking recruiting dorks.

McKinley isn’t an NIL recruitment. They want him to make his pick and know that he’ll get taken care of when he gets to campus. It’s actually a smart and sophisticated approach. 

I think anyone bullish covering this one for any school is full of shit. That said, last night I said I still thought he’d commit to Texas on 9/1. I no longer feel any level of confidence.

Gonna be some interesting battles down the stretch considering who is left on the board. McKinley, Black, Baker and Wingo all 5 stars. Throw in high 4-star Wardell Mack who seems softly committed to Florida at best and of course the other 4-star guys out there like Okoye, Solomon Williams and I guess Umeozulu. 

Just gotta land our fair share. Won't get them all.

Don't forget that a day later he got into a slap fight with one of the other OU sites and came out looking like a jackass. Honestly shocking he's still employed.

[Ricky's one-hitter 9084]

Reasons not to freak out

• No mods on any site have entered new picks, or flipped their existing picks afaik.
• Fong reiterated Texas over the field this morning.
• McKinley is a 5* DT and the finalists include baggy, blOitalloninteriorlinemenU, a perennial playoff team, and hometown favorite LSU. This was always going to get more interesting before it ended. 

Wake me up if the picks start flipping

This is the kind of level headed and thoughtful insight that has no place on this board.

Lulz if McKinley picks aggy.  All that talk about education, being most comfortable at, ect. would be a buncha bs.  Toxic locker room and coming off 5-7.  Guess we need to lose at home to a G5 program to get 5*'s to come rolling in.

This would seem like cause for concern on this player, no?

Planting a little fake news to get everybody's blood up? Not sure if Simmons did that but that was the vibe I got. Everybody was saying it was done. Hole up.

100% a PWO candidate, and maybe just a reason to get the LT coaches over for a game and some schmoozing.

It is so rare that academics really comes into play in recruiting battles. 

According to QS Rankings on Computer Science (P5 schools):

1. Stanford

2. Cal

3. Washington

4. UCLA

5. Illinois 

6. Texas

7. Michigan

8. Maryland

9. Purdue

10. Duke

11. Wisconsin

12. Penn State

13. UNC

14. Texas A&M

15. MSU

16. ASU

17. Northwestern

18. Rutgers

19. Indiana

20 Ohio State

Based on the final 3. I dont think academics is the key component in this recruitment or at least in the sense that many here understand academics to mean

I have thoughtful resposnes on this board all the time. But your posts aren't automatically worthy of a thoughtful response no matter how insightful you believe them to be, chooch. To the rest of us, they're literally just you talking to yourself outloud about what qualifies as "acceptable" academic considerations for a High School kid, written in the most robotic manner possible. 

Just a heads up, and completely unrelated, but I don't want you to miss it. Wapner comes on at 4.

i just dont get the love for Stanford. Comparing their academics to Texas's and Im just not seeing it. Ok, fine they are in cool NorCal but is that any better than the ATX? and i mean WTF is a cardinal? private school vs public? no comparison. at the end of the day, i think Texas just comes out ahead of Stanford in every measurable. i deem this question of which is better, Texas or Stanford, resolved once and for all. thank you.

Lines like that must kill on the play ground. I'd expect more from someone who gets CTJ his coffee.

Ha, speaking of 3rd grade level insults. This is one of my favorites around here, the folks who toss it around as if it hurts my feelings or gets anything other than a laugh out of my ass. It's inevitably used by the least imaginative and shitty posters here, Spider2yBanana and Futureman ilk. So congratulations on the august company, good sir. If only cdt23 hadn't migrated to Orangebloods or 247 before seeing this, he'd be so proud of you.
