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

I don't want to clog up the HWH press thread so I'll post this here. It's kind of amazing that nobody (cough Rovell cough) has linked the identities of the people behind HWH with their profiles. Good thing we drown out those substantive discussions with mcribs and chicken fried steak. Only degenerates like me/us can keep up.

They weren't busts in College, IDGAF about the NFL honestly.

Outside of Vince what did the other guys accomplish, not much beyond the hype. I mean the argument that 5 stars have a good hit rate and the evidence to support that being they were all 1st round picks but you don't care that they didn't do shit in the NFL even tho they also mostly didn't do shit in college.

Clowney and Simms were pretty dominant college players if I remember correctly.  Lawrence seemed to be decent at Clemson but I guess our standards at UT are higher than theirs.

You are so enamored with it look at the list and tell me. I'm not being specific to perfect ratings either. I will go through the list and get back to you if you are really interested in my opinion but something tells me you aren't.

Lawrence was a lowly .9999, we're only talking about the truly elite 1.00 guys

So Clowney and Simms along with Vince were great college players.  Nkemdiche, if I remember had tons of injuries unfortunately.  Gary was a good player at Michigan but not dominant.  It seems if you can get a kid with a 1.00 score there is a good chance he will help your college team based on history.

So they never made that offer?  Which means billy doesn’t know shit?

He just wants to be able to tell recruits Jimbo turned down more money to stay at A&M, so when Texas offers you tons of NIL cash do what Jimbo did.

Clowney had great highlights and his final season was mostly him sitting out of games. Simms had promising start and a meh junior year. Only Vince lived up to that 1.0 rating in college and only Clowney can be considered to have lived up to it for a brief period in the NFL, tho I guess there's still a shot for Gary

Clowney was a great college football player. He was a freshman all-American his first year. His second year he was a unanimous first team all-American and finished 6th in the Heisman voting, which is hard as hell to do as a defensive lineman. After that, he admittedly started looking towards the NFL, but he was still 1st team all-SEC in what was his “disappointing” year.

You are letting these guys’ failures in the NFL color how you remember them in college.

Vince only really lived up to it from the Tech game in ‘04 though. I know, Mack/GDGD and all, but if we’re just looking at production, the consistency only really started that game. He got pulled against Mizzou the game prior to that….

And from the Tech game on he was the best player in the country.
