Yet another thread derailment but maybe not since she's a great liaison recruiting-wise, but muthahustla uses the longhorn logo on a lot of bags and t-shirts she sells. I can assume CDC is aware but it seems strange since we've been known to shut even the smallest of infringements down (hook em sign donut, for christs sake). I wonder if she pays the royalties or something.

Look man. I don't make the rules; i just follow them. The shag had clearly defined rules for this sort of thing and if Machinator gets to break the rules, we'll all break the rules. It'll be anarchy!

As opposed to the orderly processes we see being observed every day here on the Surl?  From now on I want you all to call me "The Right Honorable Gentleman from Little River" when you address me.

Oh please.  Everyone out here is now saying Smith is all UT.  All I provide is what we hear at the moment out here.  He loved Austin, loved the college town feel, that doesn't negate what I posted earlier, that USC was a dream school, kids say that stuff all the time, wear their team gear, then fall in love with another program.  Kids out here are falling in love with UT.  That's why there is no such thing as a lock.
the last thing I worry about is skilled player recruitment for USC,  this early in the game, as in previous years, USC always start slow to end top 5.
i have zero animosity, or ill wishes toward UT, USC will get who they're meant to get, as you will. Both programs will end with top 5 recruiting classes.
 
 
That's a surprisingly rational take on recruiting..

You definitely aren't aggy.

I guess ESPN and Rivals can't be bothered to rate him? Rivals has no rating but I couldn't even find a page for him on ESPN.   Based on his hudl, he has a very good frame, good burst, and already can hold his own in the run game. He does a good job of keeping his pad level and using his long arms to leverage OL and stonewall them in the run game.  

I did find this sec country article on him while looking for his ratings.  https://www.seccountry.com/arkansas/arkansas-football-recruiting-zach-williams  It appears he is going to have quite a few more big time offers in the coming months. We seem to be in a good position for him, and we were definitely one of the first big time schools to offer/recruit him (sorry TCU). This was a good eval by the staff to throw our hat in the ring relatively early for him.

And as I put in the article, there are plenty of other major variables in this. I didn't say there was a causation. I just said there is a correlation and that it's interesting. Also I know if Brown was being lazy recruiting back in 2002-2007.

One thing not touched upon is the difference in accessibility to information for more than rudimentary evaluation. HUDL did not exist in the MB days. I mean, how many could reasonably expect access to tape from a California athlete even 5 years ago? Near costless access to information on all levels makes recruiting a lot less dependent on (or limited by) regional specialization and networking. It cuts both ways too. Jake Smith sitting at home has a lot more opportunities to evaluate the fit at a place like Texas before taking an OV.

The who-you-know is certainly important, as evidenced by Strong's reach into Florida (and Louisville ['thanks for Poona']), Beck's ties to AZ and Herman's to CA. The growth of the camps and 7-on-7 clearly contribute as well, but yeah, this should be the new norm for us to get the best talent available.

Are the Longhorns she uses burnt Orange? A lot of businesses use similar logos...and Fort Worth (where MH lives) cop cars have a Longhorn head logo as well. It's not exactly the same as UT, but pretty close.

Just watched Jake's HUDL highlights for the second time. Sweet Jesus, that kid is really, REALLY good and really, REALLY fast.

Seriously, I just watched for the first time. I don't want to be lazy and throw out a Christian McAffrey reference, but he is kind of that Percy Harvin play everywhere type. Holy shit that would be a huge get.

I take offense to that sir. It's by no means lazy, it's stereotypical.
