Why would Saban waste time on JS not going to a&m if he’s wanting to win and then ride off into the sunset?

In case he doesn't win and ride off into the sunset. Think Mack Brown circa 2009, minus the fact Saban will likely not stop working.

[Hank_Hill 18793]

Still, seems like a lot of work to potentially prevent an above average prospect from going to play at a slightly above average conference team. But he’s Saban and I’m not.

Spoke to someone who knows Saban and is as close to this stuff nationally as anyone. He thinks there's merit to Saban negging ATM to Shepherd, hard. I know we laugh at those fuckers for their paranoia, but this is far from an aggie passing on validity. 

 

Hang on, I'm supposed to believe that Nick Saban took time out of his schedule to fly to Houston and talk to a kid he wasn't interested in, solely for the purpose of keeping him from A&M???  That's aggy's wet dream.

He's not flying down to Texas to tell JS not to go to A&M. He's meeting with JS and part of that is "hey don't go to goober", because who wouldn't pass up a chance to tell a top recruit that.

Keeping teams down is just as important as keeping yours up. We have strategically raided TCU's class the last two years.

Not that this matters, but Mike Farrell said he would change Bru McCoy's bust factor from medium to low after the transfer to Texas. 

Spoiler

Bru McCoy was at USC for a couple of weeks or so and decided he had enough. Kliff Kingsbury was gone and so was the promise of a dynamic offense, so McCoy decided to take a hit and transfer to Texas. Most likely he will have to sit out a year although you can bet he’s appealing for a waiver based on the fact that he was allegedly lied to by Kingsbury and company, but even if he does have to sit out a year, he made the right choice. 

Why? There are many reasons. First and foremost, the USC program is an absolute mess and recruiting has been horrible. McCoy would have been the only five-star in the class with limited talent around him and we all know Helton is on the hot seat and could be gone as early as the middle of next season. 

But even as USC has been landing multiple five stars each year, they still haven’t developed them and have been one of the most underachieving programs in the country. 

Meanwhile Texas is on the rise under Tom Herman, who isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and the Longhorns have a chance to be a national title contender over the next few years. And the Big 12 offenses are impossible to stop and Texas has shown they can develop big, physical receivers. 

I had some doubt about whether McCoy would become a star at USC, so I gave him a “medium” bust factor just recently when he was still a USC signee. That bust factor falls to “low” at Texas where I think he can become an absolute star.

The real reason? Fear. He doesn't want to talk about McCoy with a huge bust factor only to have him go off on his beloved Sooners, so this is a great way to walk that back. 

The fear is real.

Saban and Bama have been recruiting Shepherd because they want him at Bama. If they can’t get him to Bama because of proximity, which is allegedly the problem, negging the team you play every year in the process of the recruitment is something to do and happens plenty.

Are we concerned at all about McCoy's lack of top end speed?  Is he going to have to fight for every catch because he's not fast enough to get open?  I'm sure this is asked and answered somewhere but I can't pore through 900 pages, don't want to post anything noncelebratory on his personal thread, and wanted to contribute to #1000.

I played at Delmar Stadium. Second game of my sophomore year, my first game to start on varsity. We played Scarborough and beat them. I don’t even know if that HS still exists. I remember our star CB tearing his knee up in the first half and wailing as they put him on a stretcher. It was traumatic for a 15 year old. Not as traumatic as watching Javonne Shepherd choose a hat, but traumatic nonetheless. 

It’s still there. I graduated from Scarborough over 40 years ago and it was all white then.  The demographics of that area have changed significantly.  

 

Surprised Delmar still exists.
