This one would be as weird as any this cycle if he jumps. Long-time UT fan, hates recruiting, was here two days ago saying he was done with visits, then a possible flip this quickly? To a school with 2 elite RB commits already and not even known for bags? Just bizarre.

No worries TEXAS fans -- Stan "The Man" Drayton's got this no problem.  

Just ask @golfclap

“We have male yell leaders, Soviet architecture, a Sul Ross statue and a longer time in the SRC division cellers!! Why’d those recruits wanna be a Sip? lol”

You forgot jizz jars, pet cemetary, fish camp and many other wonderful delights stupid sips don't have.

Like I said, this entire class has to be some sort of Truman Show type shit for Texas recruiting fans. Never seen anything like it.

not sure why you’re being sarcastic about it. he’s the best running back recruiter in the country and has backed it up while on staff here.

Seems everyone is hitting the bag game hard except for us. The days of imagining a spy from the NCAA listening at every closed door and hiding in the shrubs are long over...yet our perception seems to be stuck in the 80's when they killed SMU.

Not every loss is about bags though. Surprise commit to Aggy or Oregon? Yeah, probably bags. Lose someone to Baylor or OU? Probably other factors imo

To continue on the recruiting world is upside down path,  we now have a broad swath of folks saying OU doesn’t cheat on a UT message board.

In relative terms, no they’re not. But you having this mindset shows how stupid our fanbase is with regards to everything going on.

Not sure what you think my mindset is as I didn’t give it. Simply stated that it is strange to have Ou grouped in the non bag group on this board given the long history of cheating issues. I personally agree with you “in relative terms” from what I can tell. 
 

otherwise you are welcome to enlighten this board with your thoughts. either way go get fucked.

Compared to most of our other recruiting foes, they’re not even in the same ballpark. More than us, sure. But not by a whole lot.

Don’t disagree.  See subsequent posts.

OU may not blatantly cheat at recruiting, but they certainly don’t give a damn about character with their players/recruits/transfers.
This extra talent is what is keeping them ahead of us on the field.  Eventually it should blow up in their face, but hasn’t yet.

If Texas has a compliance department problem, they need to cancel the compliance department and everybody in it and retitle and brand it something different like The University of Texas NIL Compliance Center.  This allows them to terminate or relocate basement critters while bringing in those we feel can better handle the research and adjusted criteria of the new department.

Until it becomes true?

Reality is they do a better job of putting guys in a position to succeed.

I’ve seen concessions to them regarding winning this year. I don’t get it.

What is the general consensus on this guy? His tape to me wasn't very impressive and he is at best the second best linebacker on his team. The tape is from his sophomore year.

He committed to a defensive HC that prob sold him on starting sooner.  Also, their athletic department may have a stable closer to the practice field and stadium so that Patton can ride from the field to class and home games.  Texas needs to upgrade their equestrian program if they really want to compete with other instate universities, and that's going to take time.  Plus offensive and defensive linemen are going to require bigger horses.

Being the 2nd best LB at Mater Dei isn’t really an insult, they have top 100-150 national players all over the place.

I am sure our moral highground will make for excellent viewing at their next heisman ceremony.

If he is at Mater Dei, you can bet we have the inside baseball on him. I am sure baby Sark (doo doo doo doo doo) knows all about him.

Roach saying he might just be connecting on his way back from Florida but that he doesn't actually know. Although I can't imagine many Dallas flights connect through Austin. Usually the other way around

His athleticism doesn't pop at all.  He's pretty heavy footed.  Yes, it's his sophomore film, but, it doesn't look promising.  He better have amazing football instincts and anticipation with that speed.

OB’s latest comments re NIL and recruiting:

No. 3 - Stop with the NIL is crushing recruiting stuff...

I can tell who does and does not read this column on a regular basis almost entirely by some of the reactions this weekend to the news that Texas is...wait for it...a bit sluggish in recruiting with elite prospects at the moment.

SHOCKING!!!!!!

Or not.

One of the trendy talking points for those that will do anything to create talking points is to point the finger at the new boogieman of Texas football recruiting...NIL.

Understand this - Texas' lack of momentum in the 2022 recruiting class didn't start on July 1. Almost eight months have passed since Texas landed Maalik Murphy in recruiting and the program hasn't landed a player in the Rivals Top 150 since.

The reality is that it feels better to say that Kelvin Banks picked Oregon because of NIL as opposed to admitting that he might not believe in the vision and messaging of the program from the coaching staff. Or that he doesn't want to be alone in coming to Austin.

It's just the newest form of excuse-making... the kind that Aggies have embarked on for much of the last 20-25 years before Jimbo Fisher was able to change the narrative.

No. 4 - Let's go over the non-NIL problems...

Instead of misplacing responsibility, let's take a look at the real issues facing the program as things currently stand in the 2022 class.

1. As has been mentioned in this column countless times, elite of the elite prospects aren't giving this coaching staff the kind of first-year benefit of the doubt that Charlie Strong and Tom Herman both received.

2. This staff can do better and finish better. Both the De'Anthony Gatson and Kelvin Banks recruitments featured miscalculations or misreadings. There's no reason to belabor the points again and again and again. The staff can be better.

3. In the case of a few recruits around the state, there's a sense that there are briefcases full of cash in play. Of course, you know what the SEC calls recruitments that involve briefcases full of cash? They call it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...

I don't know what to tell you about the third point, but the first two can be controlled and addressed with quality play on the field this season and the staff doing a better job.

[ClubWhatever 12151]

Stupid.  Oregon should have no more on-field cred than we do after that shit show last year.

The circumstances were ridiculous but they get to hang a banner while we fired our coach.

You're assessing him as a prospect for the BDF. "Heavy feet" aren't such a negative in the "hand in the dirt" league.
