The women may be fine, but there is NO way they are on our level. Maybe you are just referring to California girls? 

 

That aside  - for the exception of not being a Blue Blood - I get the allure of Stanford.

He's kidding. Stanford girls are mediocre at best and East Palo Alto is no bueno.

Smart move by aggy to bring in Shepherd on Friday to talk him out of coming to our spring game. We should have done the same with a few guys last weekend.

Expand  

Never going to happen. Herman, Chang, and the rest of the entire staff do not and will not operate from a base of fear. Even if the 16-18 year old kids don't know at the top of mind that a move like that is motivated wholly by fear, it is there and the underlying question becomes what are they keeping me from? Herman and staff are much more likely to encourage a kid to make all his visits and ask all the questions than to deny him or try to get him to avoid a trip in April.

Not unlike Stripling. His fucking little brother is the biggest Aggy cockblock working against us. I think Stripling would be much more amiable to Texas if it weren't for Curtis, not to mention that whole Mayde Creek (re: Katy Highway Holla!) echo chamber effect.

I doubt Herman would try to talk the kid out of going on the visit. But getting a kid on campus the day before he goes to your rival's spring game is an opportunity to proactively confront whatever negative recruiting bullshit they're going to throw at a kid. Seems like it might have been a good strategy

Now we know why they offered Coker. 

Expand  

Why? 

I think there's a very real scenario where Texas doesn't sign Green or Shephard and they both go to ATM. I don't like that, but it's frankly as likely as anything. So the Coker offer should make sense in some other way to you than it being because you think they're going to whiff on Green and Shep and they know it. 

Separately, and I'm interested in knowing whether the $9.95ers are saying as much, but I think there's a great chance that Tyler Johnson commits this weekend if he visits.

I think aggy offered Coker to help them get shepherd and green, since green says he talks to those 2 about playing together.

Greater Houston area is becoming like a mini southern louisiana..

Immense pressure to go full aggy or risk being shunned and blackballed by the community.

Expand  

Is that what we are calling the Aggy Corridor these days? 

Katy, Cypress, Spring, Kingwood. - just a corridor of fucking average

1. Not greater Houston. Literally just the northern burbs that are closest to the lit dumpster fire known as the Station.   

2. There's nowhere near that kind of pressure. Family member's jobs are not being threatened.  They just have to deal with obnoxious people in their ear from every direction. Completely different.

The Woodlands/Conroe area is something I know very well and has a heavy aggy presence. Which makes the Ossai and possible Johnson signing all that more impressive. 

Although, the same can be said for Katy and we grabbed Ojomo.

Agreed.  See Houston Lamar.

If we get Wilkins and Johnson, I'd make that trade. Green wants to play Tackle and aggie is making promises. I'd be hard over the moon for Bragg, Wilkins & Johnson then find a few more to throw in.

Bragg is after Johnson, maybe #1 IMO.  We need an anchor at Center that can be about a 3 year starter.  Green is supposedly going to see how the season plays out which is probably the only shot we have.  Would love to land Shepherd and let him develop for a couple of years.

TE Wiley?  Is he a take at this time?
Expand  

Wiley is really enamoured with TCU for whatever reason. He keeps waiting for that offer, and if he gets it he'll likely pull the trigger.

Expand  

You just made up that he'd likely pull the trigger
