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

Outside of Banks, I am in favor redshirting every other OL (including Campbell). As someone pointed out, Conner should have been afforded a redshirt year last year but it's probably good he got his feet wet a little. Conner and Angilau can hold down the two guard spots and Campbell would be in perfect position to take over when Angilau departs after the season.

Pretty sure he RS'd. You get 4 games to play before you lose it.

aggy losing their entire defensive coaching staff and still landing 5 stars should tell you something is up. Also, it sounds like Santucci is probably following Elko to Duke. 

So you have Elko gone and Santucci/Rushing/Robinson all in play at other schools. 

Commit to the bag not the coach I think is the saying

Yeah I think we still need 2 transfer OLs. Most of the freshman won't be ready yet. I'm not ready to write Dunlap in as an improvement either. Guy didn't start at MN, what makes us think he's the answer?

Ideally we end up with.. Transfer LT - Angilau - Transfer C (UVA guy?) - Conner - Banks

3 man line would be interesting but I guess it couldn’t get any worse than what we had this year

LOL.  accidently hit submit, but you know, I think that's what we did last year.  Think of how well we'll play this year with all 5 lineman.

Assuming no portal lineman, LT Banks LG Hayden C Angilau RG Campbell RT Jones doesn't look bad.  I'd love to grab the UVA center and/or finally have the Brocks portal back home but we'll see after Wed.

I get that this is peoples fantasy and recruiting is shady and fuck the aggys. But do we really want the kind of person that would back out on an agreement like that and basically commit theft/fraud? Like at some point you want to honor your word don't you? Why would you want that kind of influence on the team?

I don't know. Do you like Quinn Ewers committing to Texas? Because he just did the same thing.

Since I don’t understand the inner workings of the bag game, wonder if there’s still room for movement and if coaching changes can make another school’s bag offer look more appealing, or if you are locked in at some point prior to signing. 

I don't think there are rules so it just depends on the arrangement. I am sure it is probably something like, here is X dollars now, we will give you Y dollars when you commit, and Z dollars when you sign. The player could always cut and run with no real consequences besides leaving the remaining money on the table.

I think their ace in the hole is to invite the family and pay off one of the parents or family member, and then go from there.  Whenever a parent states they like aggy it's not because of the program history, university, town, culture and now coaching uncertainty because that's all cringeworthy. They then continue paying and keeping tabs through the parent.  NIL will make this aspect difficult for Texas, although it does mean a larger player payout and broader avenues down the road.

Zeus is an asshole. He made Prometheus roll a fucking rock up a mountain over and over again for all eternity. Zeus is second only to Ketch for worst ever. 

It was Sisyphus who had to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity.  Regarding Prometheus, Zeus chained him on a mountain and an eagle ate his liver each day only for him to be resurrected the next day to continue the cycle.

Yeah for providing humans with fire, correct?

Isn't Elijah Robinson potentially expected to join Elko as a DC in some capactiy?

Elko said he's going to pull some guys he's worked with (no names specifically at this point) but that it would not happen until after signing day and might be a while.

Two things  I would think are holding Robinson up - 1) Temple HC job being filled by someone else and 2) aggy naming a DC that is not him.  If both those happen I could see Robinson going with Elko.
