You know it's bad over there (probably everywhere except Hookem 247, those fucking brainless slugs) when the article leads off with passive aggressive shots at the reader-base and then moves immediately into "look at this hopefully placating shiny object."

Getting Milroe, who is a better fit for this offense than Stone, ( and maybe Campbell? ) would probably help with Houston recruits.

DFW already looks promising with JQJ committing and Quay on board.

I thought high school camps used 185# for bench reps.  this kid just finished his sophomore year of high school and 26x225 is a good number for OL at the fucking NFL scouting combine.

NCAA

Big Changes Brewing in Spring FB Recruiting Rules

by Tracy Pierson. Jun 28, 2:39 PM

It looks like college football recruiting is going to change pretty dramatically next spring.  The NCAA is on the verge of restructuring the spring recruiting period starting in 2020, with the new model including eight new regional combines conducted by the NCAA.  The last several years of spring football recruiting has consisted of the Evaluation Period, which runs from April 15 to the end of May, when coaches could go out to high school and JUCO campuses to see prospects in person; and a series of camps during the month of June. The camps consisted of those conducted by the school itself, but also satellite camps on other campuses in which coaches from other schools could attend. 

If the NCAA follows through with a proposal it's considering -- and that looks likely -- the June satellite camp period could be going away, however.   The new structure will feature eight regional combines from March 1 to May 31. For eight weekends during that period, a combine will take place somewhere in the country that coaches can attend. They will be at NFL stadiums in different regions, and be invite-only (we aren't certain as to how the invite process would work at this time). This way coaches can theoretically go to all eight combines and see the best recruits from eight different regions of the country.

We have been told that, initially, at least for the 2020 spring, the camps will include just seniors-to-be, but then expand in subsequent years to also include more combines for underclassmen. The data from the combines -- the testing results and such -- will be available to all college coaches, even those that don't attend.  It's uncertain as of this time if media will be allowed to attend the combines.  This will take the place of the June satellite camp season, which was problematic in many ways. First, many programs were manipulating the camps unfairly. For instance, a program would have coaches from other schools on campus for a camp, but then sneak in a "pop-up camp" a few days before in which the more elite prospects would participate.

This would keep those elite prospects from the eyes of the coaches from other programs. This was happening while the host program would also use some coaches from other programs as guest instructors at the camp, thus also saving the expense of paying for camp coaches.  Sending coaches to many different camps all over the country in June is an expensive endeavor, one that many non-Power-Five programs were struggling to afford.  Also, June used to traditionally be a month when coaches snuck in a vacation and, in recent years, with June filled with camps, it's been more difficult to do that.  The programs will still be able to run their own institutional camps in June, according to what we've been told. 

The new NCAA-run combines, though, will probably present some issues themselves. Running from March 1 to May 31, that's about 13 weekends in which eight of those will be taken up by the combines. Most college programs conduct their spring practices during this time and often conduct practices on weekends. More than likely, programs will have to pack more practices into the weekdays to free up the weekends for its coaches to attend the NCAA combines. The Spring Evaluation Period, too, which runs from April 15 to the end of May, will have to be considered in scheduling. UCLA, as an example, waited until it had concluded its spring practices at the end of April before its coaches went out in May to see prospects at their high schools during the Spring Evaluation Period. And remember, spring practices are scheduled around the spring academic calendar. Having the NCAA combines from April through May throws another considerable wrench into what is already a fairly tightly-packed period from March through May.

The NCAA has been notorious for instituting different ideas and concepts into the recruiting process without seemingly much foresight into their impact. The new NCAA-run combines could very well be an improvement for college football recruiting in spring, or perhaps another shot in the dark by the NCAA.

I agree here comes the ncaa trying to organize something that they have no fucking clue about. It's going to be a cluster and less kids will be getting evaluated.

Do we have any insight into how this recruitment is going? I don't trust early perroni crystal balls for shit, but Bellaire hasn't exactly been kind to us. I thought he had been more positive about UT lately but that could be nothing other than wishing on my part.

I think Roach said recently that he's interested in the SEC.

A&M, Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, and Michigan seem to be the favorites, with A&M possibly leading, but it's early

Not sure where Conner plays, has a few years to prove his feet. 1 of Foster or Jackson to go along with those 3 you mentioned would be great. I refuse to believe Hand would ignore Foster but perhaps we really did/are screwing that recruitment up.

If we miss on Foster, doesn't sound like it will be Hand's fault.

I don't know if it's "screwing it up", so much as making a conscious choice to deprioritize kids who want to be dual-sport in college. Now whether that's smart is a different question.

I don't love Jackson's build, but he probably deserves to be a 5* at this point. I'd probably have Foster in there too, after he held up against Bresee last week despite being an underclassman guard. Tommy Brockermeyer and Byrd are easy 5*s for me.
