My advice to all would be: don't take anything you read on Twitter very seriously. 

[Fud 9,552]

Young is a stud, and is the type of safety Leon thinks he is. Problem is he'll probably spend most of his aggie career at corner, because they're terrible at landing real corners. Maybe they'll put him at nickel.

what's amazing about the whole twitter exchange is toilet smurf chiming in about fakes being exposed.  my god that dwarf is oblivious to himself.  no wonder his wife left his ass.

[deech 2,275]

I guess I am in the minority in thinking that EJ, nahlin, or any of them have no clue what Texas big board looks like with recruiting.  They may get info from coaches but that info would be provided for purpose.  In other words, Texas won't tell anyone what their big board is, but will leak things they think may positively impact recruiting. 

 

[rickyspub 801]

The other thing to factor in here is that most staffs who haven't filled out their dance cards, no matter the state of their pecking order, are going to try and get guys to hold off on committing. Just because Texas made a last ditch effort to get him to delay his decision doesn't say anything about where Texas projects his position on the field nor does it imply that he was a highest priority recruit. They just didn't want him picking aggy now. It could be because they 100% had him as their most important recruit or it could be they have him in a group of 3rd tier back up plans as a worst case scenario.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but Young should have just kept his mouth shut in calling out other programs. His Twitter actions the day before his commitment, his interview with Hamm, and now his father's weepy Twitter vagina suggest he was probably backburner for our staff due to mental evals.

Some of the "$9.95ers" talk to some of the staff. That's a fact. Whether or not the info is true is a good point. We as outside observers just have to take on a case by case basis and try to believe what passes the smell test. I think Young being a secondary target on the board is very plausible, based on the pattern of this recruitment paired with nuggets dropped during the process. 

I agree that there could be some gamesmanship in trying to make it harder for A&M or OU to gain a commitment from a recruit when they want it, or it could even be trying to show him enough interest before he commits to hopefully plant a seed for if you need to re-recruit him later, say if you miss on someone like Catalon and A&M's season is bad enough to where someone like Young is looking around. 

He could have been put on the backburner due to mental evals, but I think it's more likely that they just like Catalon more in the rangy good in man to man coverage free-safety spot than Young.

A&M cares more about the recruiting ranking then where the player would actually fit and make best impact at. All they care about is how they look, not how they actually do.

You must have never talked to an aggy fan about one of their 3 star recruits.

Hah, just mentioned that since Robertson's supposed to be an academics-focused kid, hence originally picking Stanford and Cal.

I can comfortably say Young and his dad are pieces of shit. Your mileage may vary.

Shouldn't Wolfe maybe, I don't know, focus on learning how to not fall down in coverage drills before he starts bragging about how aggy is going to "beat down everybody?" Just a thought.

Listening right now. This guy isn't a recruiting gimmick, he's real. 

He needs SJL to start leaning on a few recruits in her district. Kidding, not really.

Can definitely see why recruits like him and why they describe him as "real". Glad our players have someone like him on their side.

First of all, I highly doubt that EJ or Nahlin know anything concrete about our “board”.

Even if they are right and Young was the 4th or 5th safety on our board, it is still possible that we recruited him aggressively to get an unofficial visit.  So what. Mr. Young comes off looking like a dumbass topped only by the untouchable 6figs. 

[Bruh Man 3,160]

It would have been nice if this NFL meetup went down before the dead period. It looks like Earl Thomas and Jeremy Hills have a top notch training facility in Austin that will attract athletes for their offseason work. I doubt that's happening at the station.

It’s hard to have those night workouts when the station is so lit.

It is so awesome to have guys like Sterns and Davante see how people like Earl and Jamaal work.  If guys that are that talented are working like that then you see how hard it is to really make it.

Is Texas the only school that views Young as a safety? Every article I read about him from other school sites only label him as a CB and don't mention him moving to safety.

Sites don't want to burn bridges with him and his entourage by stating the fact, and if you're talking 247, Wiltfong loves Elko and won't fuck with his recruiting. It'll all come out in the end - EY is a good safety, we want him if Cine or Catalon go another way, but he's just plainly not a CB.
