I think this one is Smith. He was leaning Texas before, but he needed to make sure he wasn't missing out on his "dream school" by visiting USC. The decision has been made.

So: Adimora, Wiley, Smith.

Bizarre rant. I'm confused on which troubled poster you categorize me as. Beyond that, I don't see a whole lot of difference between this board and the old board in terms of posters. Looks largely the same, but I haven't given it that much thought, I guess. 

Ultimately, I'm not sure how you get one sort of thread meandering without occasionally getting the other. Somewhere around this time last year on the Shaggy thread for last recruiting cycle, there was a long, drawn out discussion over medical schedules due to MM's mother being a doctor or some shit. And there was repeated talk of boners from grown men over where a recruit might be going. It goes on and on. Let's not romanticize the good old days, given that today is the same as it ever was.

Perhaps my rant was bizarre. I haven't thought enough about you to categorize you. Maybe none of the shoes fit.

You raised a question that I addressed. I don't romanticize anything. The experience of this thread has changed, in my humble opinion, from what I describe. I don't argue anything was perfect.

I got tired of the boner talk as did others and there was a change. We need another change. You seem defensive. Maybe think about that.

Should be 4 now. Maybe Smith was two shhhs since he was originally suppose to commit in June.

There were 3 outstanding shhh's ahead of this. They were Smith, Adimora, and then Wiley. This one is different. You weren't counting and attributing correctly.

Lulz. I'm not authorative about shit. But if you write enough in a declarative manner, people will believe you for whatever reason.

Looked into this a little bit and think Mehringer was at Permian to see Peyton Powell. He's a transfer from private school Midland Christian and may have been under the radar because of it.

Human nature. People tend to follow whoever is the most confident, not whoever is the most correct.

I kind of agree with you the feel of the board has changed. When I first started lurking, and even when I started posting, there was a very stark contrast in mood between the Football and Recruiting boards.  They definitely seem to have merged. Part of that was the absolute nightmare that was people talking about Charlie's abillity to coach. The range of opinions  (at least until the Kansas game) was much more disparate than the range about Herman to this point.  I purposefully avoided the Football board for a good while and a lot of us would discuss the football team on the Recruiting board just to avoid some of the most egregious posters on the Football board.

There was also some pretty ridiculous hyperbole about how great of a recruiter Charlie was, how good his classes were, etc. Seeing what Herman did last year and his strategy for this year only make that more clear.   That fueled a lot of the fun optimism on that board, plus the way Charlie recruited: the rollercoaster of "oh shit, this could all fall apart, to oh shit! we just signed a top 10 class" 2 years in a row created a fun environment.  Herman locking up most of the class by June gives us a lot less to talk about and a lot less excitement, even though I'll take his recruiting 10 times out of 10 over Charlie's in retrospect.

Tl;dr I'm with you it used to be more fun, especially during the Charlie days, but I'm not sure there's a way we get back to that. Shit changes and it will change again in the future, like say, if we actually win some football games. I see that as our best bet at moving to a more fun environment.

It's just the time of year. there's more football board posters over here right now and it always gets a little shittier when they come over because there are too many inane questions and at the same time too many people who dig their fucking heels in on every fucking topic under the sun. they'll get bored and drift back over to football and politics or w/e and the tone of the thread will be back to the standard.

Alright, I guess I'm doing this. Going back to  the beginning of February 2018. The shhs have been verified by TFB, but I guess they could be wrong:

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/959211578330578945 - February 1, Joshua Moore

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/960570963212546048 - February 5, Christian Jones

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/960658098590543877 - February 5, Jordan Whittington. The presence of the ellipsis in the tweet indicates that this is the first silent of the 2019 cycle, IMO.

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/966536539806294016 - February 21, Calvin Anderson.

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/968908302804504577 - February 28, T'Vondre Sweat

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/980095296884625409 - March 31, De'Gabriel Floyd

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/981720984070828034 - April 4, Kenyatta Watson

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/987849677918932993 - April 21, Tre Watson

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/993487295385948162 - May 7, Brayden Liebrock

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/994006535939518465 - May 8, unknown

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/980095296884625409 - May 21, unknown

https://twitter.com/BCarringtonUT/status/998951545407442945 - May 22 (today), unknown

So if I'm wrong, it's either an attribution error in the above list or there was a silent from January 2018 that was mistakenly thought to be a 2018 recruit (which, on reflection, is also an attribution error).

I guess, stuff could get pretty ugly, especially in 2015 pre-Malikmas.  The other time things get shitty is right at or after NSD when Football board guys come over here and start questioning the value of rankings because they've seen highly rated guys not pan out, or they ask why we didn't recruit player X.

That is the peak of shitty every year. This year will be "why didn't we sign Marcel Brooks instead of Gbenda" or whoever we do sign at LB  ...    *sigh*

To those waxing poetic about the cornucopia of rich subject matter from the panoply of masterful posters from days gone by, here's a link to what was being discussed, and by whom, a year ago today:

http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/showthread.php/160037-Texas-Recruiting-Notes-2018-Edition/page282

I assume fatkid54 is in the slammer for the day or something, and tokamak must be in a meeting, but it's mostly the same ol' same ol. Also, nothing of importance happened on this day last year. Maybe we'll see something interesting occur this time around.

Ah, reading that ShaggyScattyTexas link was a blast from the past. Talking about the merits of taking Justin Rogers vs. Thompson + Rising. Not as good as Roschon vs. Tisdale, but still entertaining.

Yuuuup. I bet we'll get some good ole Mackophiles who don't like the amount of OOS guys we take and think we should've taken in-state Player X instead.

We should probably also go on shaggy now and find a long post written by TexasStrong12, or (I think I wrote one too) showing data about why recruiting rankings in the aggregate matter and pin that shit somewhere so people don't feel the need to respond. Then againg, who am I kidding, we'll respond anyways.

It's a pithy response and I'm sure you made yourself chuckle in a New Yorker comics kind of way, but I'm not trying to prove anything to you. If people want to be honestly nostalgic, I gave them a real chance. Some took it as such. I was entertained going back and reading it. You can keep pointing to some ethereal higher cause or standard if that's your thing, man.

Las Vegas Opening results are up, unfortunately the Arizona guys weren't there 

The only guy we're connected to I noticed at first glance is Pittman, and maybe Jordan Patterson, although I'm not sure how hard we're recruiting him. 

Micah Pittman 5'11 194 4.69 4.39 36 30.4 87.63
Jordan Patterson 6'3-1/2 195 4.59 4.49 34.0 32.8 89.07
