Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Another school's 247 mod (and SEC!SEC! team at that) giving Texas credit for having an elite recruiting staff is really something.
Meh, he's just stating the obvious based on what these guys have done in the past. LSU isnt aggy, they have actual recent success...not a fragile fanbase that must be sunshine pumped and told fairy tales.

Why aren't they worried about A&M? They were number four last year. Their fans think they should be better now that they got rid of their four year starting QB Kellen Mond. A&M is not just about hype, they're rough tough real stuff. 

When will the world catch on?

Reading the tea leaves from the different sources, it seems like Brooks doesn't have a spot at Bama rn. So if he's committing now, they would know it's not them. 

That said, I'd bet this thing tomorrow is top schools, all star game or something dumb like that.

I thought they were all in on Brooks?  Why wouldn't he be a take?  Seems like they are going to get Earl Little.

Nahlin on Brooks

Spoiler

It is a commitment.

It is hard to get a read from the Brooks side of things.

Confidence on the Bama side seems to be waning. We heard some things yesterday from out that way that had us thinking it would be the Crimson Tide. That tune has changed some.

Brooks will likely talk to both staffs tonight. We don’t know if that will impact his decision or if he’s stating his intentions.

Texas has recruited him very well and aggressively since July. We’ll see if it pays off.

CTJ said Bama may not take Brooks.

Someone (maybe IT?) said they thought Bama would offer a corner spot to Harris first, Brooks second.

IT also had a vague comment about how Harris pushing to September could help Texas with Brooks. Only way I can make sense of that is that Brooks wants to commit before then and Bama won't let him.

Is Sark going the Bama route and going after the "best" guys irrespective of location which is leading to many out of state offers? Or is Sark going out of state because of the lack of interest from Texas guys? Or does it depend on position and what's available in Texas vs out of state?

Sark and Glasscock's mentality seems to be 'pursue the best talent and if you can't get them on campus, condense the board, and expand the search.'

Mixture of both. With regard to edge rushers, we have been boxed out on three of the four highest-rated players in Sylla, Abor, and Cooper.

Texas and many other programs stopped pursuing Cooper.

This may just be my recency bias, but it seems like for the first time in awhile that Texas is passing on pretty strong talent in order to wait on even stronger talent to officially commit. KJ Miles is a four star talent that appears to also be a good student. 

Texas isn't as high on him as recent reports make it seem.

The way I read this implies that we prioritized Gaston over Miller initially. Very surprising if true.

It's not.

The new $9.95er rumor about Sexton doesn't pass the smell test to me. We bring him in for an OV and then 2 weeks later tell him no thanks? Especially when we have a grand total of zero (public) OL commits?

It's June. You're 6 months early on the Texas OL battered wife syndrome. Take a fucking shot and enjoy the momentum.

If all breaks our way this would be legendary hype building (aggy would go wild). Miller on Monday, Tuesday off, Brooks Wed, Cam Thu, Hutson Friday

Sure hope this doesn't put a damper on Jimbo's vacation. Little guy deserves a break.

This is what Super K said about Brooks, before the tweet was sent.

Spoiler

I’m currently on the road. I’ll have more on this later but wanted to pass along a note on the top 2022 DB target in the state – Terrance Brooks.

As you know, Brooks took an OV to Texas recently. He is also coming off visits to Ohio State and Alabama.

I thought Alabama may have sealed things up this past weekend but apparently, that is not necessarily the case.

I’m told that the Texas OV actually went better than the Alabama OV. That doesn’t mean he will necessarily end up in Texas but it does tell me that Texas remains in this one.

More later…

Harris is still recovering from a major knee injury. Regardless of their confidence, or lack thereof, in landing Harris, they wouldn’t tell Brooks no today. 
Also, imho, the note that Saban told Brooks “we’ll try you at corner first, but if that doesn’t work out we’ll move you to nickel or safety”, is a terrific data point on a straight up recruiting win against bama.
