Roach: Nothing new here

Spoiler

Talked to a source regarding Evan Stewart and there isn’t a ton to be said right now. This source said that knowing Evan he will make whwatever decision he’s going to make on his terms and without talking to anyone about it, so most of the buzz will be conjecture. We will try to bring you everything we can but we aren’t going to manufacture info if there’s nothing there. Those in the A&M side don’t seem to be worried.

I checked with sources regarding Denver Harris again and while there’s a lot of mystery and rumors, most people I speak with feel he will ultimately end up at Texas A&M. A source at north shore I spoke to yesterday said he thought the race was tight but he’d lean A&M if he was laying money down on it.

Kendrick Law will make a decision on Friday. While I’ve heard that the recruitment isn’t dead for Texas, a Louisiana source told me he thinks it ultimately comes down to Alabama or LSU. Law doesn’t talk to anyone so theees a lot of mystery but this is a source I trust.

Stop. He was out of the NFL at 26 years old. 
7 catches, 69 yards and 0 TDs 

I like Sweed and he was a great longhorn and will always be remembered for his Ohio State catch. 
 

But most everyone will tell you, he didn’t pan out. Maybe due to injury or “personal reasons”. 
 

 

Fair enough-solid points. My lasting image of Limas is the tOSU “catch”.
 

Further, my “obtuse” comment came across a bit “jerkish”.  For that, my apologies. 👊🏻🤘🏻

🤔🤔 when did I say we were getting Harris and Stewart??  Only thing I said was instead of always being negative try a little positivity and let’s hope we get the rest of our targets cause it’s definitely not of the realm of possibility with the way this recruiting cycle has gone. . . If you don’t that’s cool, but why bring others down cause they don’t share your same mindset  

Probably because it is annoying to see post after post by some of you fucking smooth brained cuntwaffles that just refuse to understand PLAYERS ARE BEING BOUGHT BY FUCKING AGGY. BURN IT INTO YOUR GODDAMN BRAIN. THE REASON WE KNOW WE ARE NOT GETTING STEWART AND HARRIS IS BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE BEING PAID AND IT IS MORE THAN OUR GUYS WERE WILLING TO OFFER IN RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT ISN'T FUCKING COMPLICATED!!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. 

Ahem. Sorry to be harsh but it isn't 'positivity' to pump sunshine and fill pages with wishcasting nonsense about players who we literally know the details of. You wanted to be hopeful about a guy like Neto? Go right fucking ahead. No one knew a damn thing about him. You want to be hopeful about Abor? Again; go right ahead. No one should shit on you for that. Ain't no one had a good read on him consistently throughout this process. Mathews got himself a bag by Aggy but I'm not convinced it will ultimately dictate his decision so you might even be able to have some hope there. But if you continue to make stupid fucking comments about Harris, Stewart or Perkins you deserve to be called a dipshit for doing so. If you think that is harsh so be it; I truly don't give a shit because it has gotten to the point where every time I see that fucking profile pic of yours I just know the comment there within is going to make my brain hurt.

How big are the bags Stewart and Harris are getting and how do we know that?  I agree that it's not hard to infer what is happening, I just hadn't seen the "sources" that back this up other than it being repeated as fact in this thread.

That isn't a newb question. Don't feel bad for asking it. 

Some people on here know for exactly the reasons you would think. Not sure how definitive an answer I want to give you beyond that. I personally know in the case of Stewart because I know some of the people that were involved on our end. I know what was being thrown his way and I know his people took a higher offer from Aggy. So I can say, with extreme confidence, that it was at least above ~250-300K. Others on here who I have no relationship with, and who have their own connections, have said its probably above 350K. I have no idea with Harris beyond knowing, through my same connections, that he is 100% for sale and making a business decision and that we simply didn't successfully engage with him in the right way or with the right effort. Not saying more than this /shrug 

edit: just to be clear you never really know what someone gets if you lose that battle. Just how it goes. Obviously their people are not going to just tell you or admit to anything. So it could be a dollar more, it could be less money but with more promised ancillary benefits, or it could be fucking double. You just don't know. You can generally guess with some accuracy but that is about it.

The media types may as well be pro wrestling referees for all the ostensible awareness they have of the cheating going on around them.  Of course, just like the WWE, they know it is happening but they perform like they are unaware of it because they want to maintain access to these programs and maintain the fiction of college athletics as more "pure" than the pros.  Fuck those guys.

The scuttlebutt about Watts perhaps coming to Texas

The scuttlebutt about Watts perhaps coming to Texas 

For anyone else who was curious.

Quote

Scuttlebutt in slang usage means rumor or gossip, deriving from the nautical term for the cask used to serve water (or, later, a water fountain).[1][2]

The term corresponds to the colloquial concept of a water cooler in an office setting, which at times becomes the focus of congregation and casual discussion. Water for immediate consumption on a sailing ship was conventionally stored in a scuttled butt: a butt (cask) which had been scuttled by making a hole in it so the water could be withdrawn. Since sailors exchanged gossip when they gathered at the scuttlebutt for a drink of water, scuttlebutt became Navy slang for gossip or rumours.[2]

Well, I can tell that that dipshit has no concept of how the NIL works, as well as the role a compliance department has in the process. This is equivalent to some idiot saying Limas Sweed is out of the NFL because he's 36 years old, without realizing Sweed was out of the NFL at 26 years old. Just straight up talking out his ass. 

It is funny, however, we had a conversation with a pretty connected person who was bemoaning a problem with Ewers was UT's draconian compliance department and how Ohio State rubber stamps everything and doesn't give a shit whatsoever. Which was a potential hurdle because it might mean the deals Ewers got at Ohio State and elsewhere wouldn't be replicable by Texas.
