So Steele allegedly took improper benefits from USC recruiting "journalists".   Hamm and his ilk are bagmen with money, comped videos, and payoffs to trainers to increase their web traffic and to steer recruits.  NCAA sucks hind teat.

No player has to sign an LOI, irrespective of enrollment period. Baylor attempted to game avoiding NCAA violations with Devin Duvernay by simply never sending him an LOI after seeing him perform more than is allowed. Hence when they “released” players from their LOI because of the Briles scandal, his name wasn’t on the list. Can’t release someone who never was officially caught in the first place. 

Regarding Steele, I’m going to guess very few schools will actually touch this guy if there’s anything to the allegations, whether Newy25 thinks they’re all pussies or not. Whatever the case, fuck that guy and I hope he blows wherever he goes. He’s a lying bitch. 

It is becoming clear to me I am a very small minority in my opinion. Like, a one person minority. Just like the time I thought my ex wife was not a lying, cheating whore. 

Perhaps I should listen to the majority on Steele.

Yeah he's the 16-year-old IT mentioned (after ctj said someone like him would be coming up imminently)

Everyone keeps pussyfooting around some character concerns for Brooks without giving any details.

What exactly are the rumors?

Closest school? It may be the closest thing to Odessa period

Roy Williams is active in the Odessa area and very pro Texas, bit the allure of going to the local school that throws it 70 times a game can be enticing.  Also, the Powell family is well known for some great athletes over the years.

I believe the hushed, whispered asides allege he would have thrived under Art Briles.

Was listening to Dan Patrick show this morning while driving to Dallas and he was saying in basketball the method of payment is an offshore account and recruits get a debit card.  

Anyone know if that's common in football?

Heard something similar back in the day with Cam Newton and SEC prospects--debit card payments.

Additionally, Powell's football footballing roots are in Midland, a place with an incredible amount of Tech Influence.  Opening day NFL rosters had more TT WRs than any school in the country.  That means a lot to some kids.

Tech has influence? News to me

I get that they’re different situations but we have a TE on our roster who had some very serious drug charges as a recruit (that were eventually dropped). All this bad charchter talk just seems like sour grapes unless there is something I don’t know.

That was from Herman's transition class there are lots of kids in that class that wouldn't be takes now.

TFB has an article behind paywall but the headline confirms that Marcel Brooks is looking around and that Texas is one of the schools he’s reaching out to.
 

That's also what IT reported earlier today.

The IT guys are pretty adamant this is not happening. It sounds like from everything people are repeating/reporting here, Brooks to Texas is not going to happen.

Right, I was just pointing out that Brooks is knocking on the burnt orange and white door trying to get it to open.

That "bad character" take is a Neuroscience major and an all Big 12 Academic Honor Roll (or something).  I don't think he is your standard "bad character."  I am not condoning whatever he might have done in HS, but he might be a bad example.

It's not sour grapes when we actually passed on him because of his dirt. This isn't fan fiction.

The problem is that 247 and TFB are stoking the flames by leaving the possibility open (by omission) that we would take him. At least the IT mods have the sense to know we aren't going down that road.

Not always going to get it right, but ok to pass on a player if the Staff has character concerns about a recruit....

I think the underrated part of Herman's recruiting so far is the mental evaluation aspect. 

It's only been a year and half but have we lost a single Herman recruit yet to attrition? Granted, Toneil Carter might be on the way out but we're still batting way above average so far with attrition. 

Herman's selective approach to recruiting has been effective so far.

Grandy, but that wasn't a mental eval problem.

Yeah man, assume there must be something you don’t know and shut the fuck up. You follow these boards and we’ve been pretty straight on it for a fucking year. That’s on you.
