Why though? Seems like a waste of fucking time.

If Herman succeeds there is an obvious direct benefit.  If not he will almost certainly force OU to expend time and resources to defend their pipeline.  One of the cardinal principles of asymmetric warfare is to never give the enemy any sanctuary where they feel completely safe.  If the staff were struggling to secure good recruits for Texas then it might be better to prioritize high-probability shots only.  As things stand they're doing great and it's probably worth using some energy to get OU looking over their shoulder constant(ly).

It was jocular and rhetorical, sushi. I don’t give a shit how much effort we put into Texas schools, hotbeds for the okies or aggies be damned.

Majik Rector's dad is starting the year off with a bang. Gonna be interesting to see how hard that he and Margin Hooks try to connect some of their kids to Preston Stone's recruitment...  (247 only has 14 kids even ranked for 2021, unless I'm missing something)

I wonder how long it will take him to understand how the TexAgs ranking actually work.

They are definitely sponsored but Adidas but I question how much of a difference that will really make, only 2 PAC schools are Adidas (Washington and Arizona State) and he has connections to Bru and Gabe so didn’t hurt there. Plus he seems to be pro Texas on twitter and has already brought kids to Texas on more than one occasion.

Yeah. But if only there was another school not too far from Austin where he might be Encouraged to take kids he's chaperoning from California that is sponsored by Adidas. A school that they'd probably never before considered as an option, and that may or may not just drop off a bag of fucking cash while they're visiting. 

The guy can seem on the up and up, and the guy can seem to really like Texas, but circumstances change, and we never know what level of influence or pressure is currently being leveled on this guy, but more importantly what that dynamic will be in the future. One thing for certain, however, is that his affiliation with Adidas will NEVER be a positive for Nike schools.

Well I don’t know how to embed a tweet on my phone but he posted one yesterday of him and Flowe doing the 🤫 (tagged Carrington) and he’s wearing Nike gear, so apparently Adidas doesn’t have quite the stranglehold

Adidas is dirty as hell. I don't get why, as influencing players in CFB seems like a way different ROI than CBB, but here we are. They did everything they could to get Haselwood to reconsider Miami after Richt left. If the details ever come out on that, it will come across as insane. If they're involved with something, they're steering players in some form or another to their schools.
