[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

This is getting kinda comical. Should have been a slam dunk.

The 8pm part is pretty annoying. If things go according to plan, I’ll be borderline incoherent at the country club by well earlier than 8pm today, wandering about and expressing disdain for the tardiness of the fireworks, the lack of quality milfs to ogle, accusing chestnuts of being lazy, etc. Who the hell is going to have time to figure out this guy’s decision during all of that?

I'm sure with your 40 time you can run home and make it by your bedtime

Don’t worry about this miss it. Will always be a 1 gap guy. Very stiff lower body and through his core. If he can’t get up to 320 he will never hold up at the point of attack. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 12,183]

His family wants to see him play, and who doesn't want their biggest fans in family to see them so close? 

Bobby and Gerry make great points about Dan Lanning being a defensive coach, and his OC will probably not be there at the end of the season, and who does he want him to throw the ball? Arch or Dante Moore/Novostad? Arch is the biggest draw for him. 

Not to mention he specifically asked for Ryan Wingo and Collin Simmons to host him. That's huge. These dorks who are saying Oregon is nervous is because they're trying to let those fans down easily (imo). This back and birth shit is just that...shit. Moore is UT bound. Gerry said he was told. July decision would be the thing by a family member.

Feels like Oregon is going above asking points to splurge and prove they can.

This is a Collin Simmons recruitment. Sark will not let him get away. He's the most important recruit of this class.

We’ve met the ask. We are obviously the family choice. We have an offense that will feature him and give him every opportunity to get drafted. We have a coaching staff with skins on the wall for his position and a depth chart that looks to open up after this year.

There are enough cases of cellulitis secondary to skin popping in Oregon to employ an entire armada of ID physicians. There is a reason Oregon partially backtracked after widespread legalization. 

aggy will talk shit and yet all their "grads" flock to Austin. Not at all the same thing, my friend.

What % change takes an ask from reasonable to absolute insanity? Is there a conversion chart?

If we lose this player, with this background in our state, at this talent level, at this position, with the QB room we have......something is officially wrong with the people in charge of our NIL apparatus.

I know this is upsetting to you, but it is the truth. Fire off some ad hominem attacks. I know it will make you feel better. However, we aren't aggies. We can objectively analyze all aspect of our program.

How do you correct NIL to account for billionaires swooping in and dropping ludicrous amounts? What about that makes you think there is something wrong with our NIL apparatus when it compares to literally every other school not named Oregon?

Yeah, Portland is a pretty nice place. So is Eugene. That's not what makes it hard to recruit there.

Some real aggy nonsense happening in here.

Eugene to Portland is almost the same distance as Waco to Austin just for folks consideration.

[BornAndRaised 12,281]

Also, on topic, I'm not really worried about this. If sark has lazered in on moore as his can't miss recruit, I feel like he will eventually end up in the class. Sure Oregon could have thrown a significant number but in the end I feel like sark will ultimately match whatever number is needed for moore. That being said, as someone who is deeply close to their grandma. I don't take moore thanking sark for his hospitality and greeting/spending time with his grandma lightly. I'm not worried even if it's Oregon tonight.

Recruit didn't pick my school, I'm going to make fun of the city that school is in is loser behavior (this does not apply to College Station). I know a number of people who went to Oregon and it seemed great. Good football and college town, great hiking and winter sports. There are a lot of worse places to spend three years making millions of dollars.

Yep. People write as though a top recruit is going to a place to raise a family in the suburbs. They live in a fabulous bubble no matter where they go.

Has any significant number of recruits ever said or intimated that they didn't go to Eugene or Michigan because of the weather? A lot of southern players make the trip.

That's another thing Bobby and Gerry brought up. They said the travel for family would be grueling, and it already was when he was doing his OV's. Imagine traveling to Oregon, Michigan, Columbus, NJ, Illinois, etc. Got damn that would suck. They specifically mentioned that the travel in the SEC is easier, and all of his friends are SEC-bound. If he didn't choose UT, he would be blazing his own trail to his own peril.

I’ve been transparent on NIL in ways that actually involve risk. I also played a fundamental role in creating the very blueprint in which the NIL world functions. Like, proveably. So spare me your admonishments or advice.  

A 5 star WR goes above mid 6’s. Absolute absurdity would be $1.5M plus. Beyond that, no one can assuage current roster players or other recruits. That’s true for Oregon, Texas or anyone else. 

If Texas loses this player, it isn’t because of NIL. It’s not because of a mom wanting Texas or family wanting Texas or anything else in our inherent favor. It’s because a player is 17 years old and thinks they are going to make a difference in Eugene. 

When I throw a dog a bone, I don’t need to hear how it tastes, you fucking mutt. Your premise is fucked, as is your approach, and you can be as well. Negged again, stumblefuck.

You are an idiot. And as such I’m confident you haven’t contributed a penny to Texas’ NIL, but like to criticize it. 

Everyone needs to just roll with whatever happens on NIL. People have put a solid program in place, but the bottom line is that any given program could end up having much more money. One or a few really rich people connected to a school could decide they want to contribute a lot of money. Until or unless a lot more people connected to Texas put up a lot more money, they have to deal with the arms race as best they can.

I was just in San Fran and surrounding areas for 5 days visiting family with my wife and younger kids. We hang out near the wharf area and venture out from there. Because my oldest daughter lives near there, the little ones have all been to the area many times. 

On Tuesday, one of them says “Daddy, people always say mean things about San Francisco but it is a wonderful, beautiful place. “ I then drove them through the Tenderloin area and got stuck at numerous lights. I looked in the rear view and saw four whitefaced little kids.  

Like most places, whether Eugene or Austin or San Fran, perspective matters more than anything. 

[closetojumping 62,574]

My pick is Texas because the mom wants Texas. She’s not heavy handed though. 

I plan to be entertained nonetheless.
