So there are transcripts/audio of Hamm begging FWK to not let Demas commit. 

WTH are we waiting on?

You really think this guy had to begged by Hamm?  He's a part of the side pulling Demas toward aggy.  Uncle Foot Fetish is as dirty as Hamm, he may provide "rides" and help, but let's see how much he would do for those kids if there was no financial incentive.  He's an Uncle who runs cone drills.

I can’t tell much about Owens’ ball skills on tape, but he definitely closes on ballcarriers and has straight-line speed. Seems to have bad intent once he arrives. Looks like a lot for coaches to work with.

Only OU would put a game against a service academy on Pay Per View. Of course the national media could care less. Could you imagine the world wide back lash if Texas did exactly the same thing?

Actually we do a couple of times a year. We call it LHN. Maybe next time the blow-boyz want to go PPV, we offer them LHN coverage. Who'd care if Galindo sucked then.

These are the kind of guys Patterson has made a killing on.  Hopefully he commits because he's a better athlete than any of the TCU guys.  Quite the lump of clay to work with.

Cine is OVing to Georgia this weekend. We'll see what they decide to do.

Of note, the top 4 safeties in the state of Georgia are committed to OOS schools.

I read something awhile back questioning how high we were on Cine. It is obvious that we would take him even after Owens, but I don't feel like he is a need. We do need corners, though. Caldwell and Watson aren't slam dunks.

I'm still not a huge fan of this class because I think we are building the team wrong. I think we need to build from the trenches out and instead we seem to be filling up on WRs and DBs.

What is the latest on the DL from Hawaii? Has he visited Washington yet?

You know they want the linemen.  One issue is kids usually commit on their timelines and not the coaches. Another issue seems to be the staff as configured is better at closing on the skill players. It’s been touched on here a time or two.  

Last year it got mitigated. This year, we’ll see but as of now they’ve missed on more than they’ve gotten.

Agree that this class will really only be completed with some good DL (assuming we hold onto the OL we get and maybe add a juco or late-riser) and a power RB.  But we still have a ton of room in this class to fill out those positions.

This staff really seems to like evaluating late risers on the line, and their evaluations have been really good so far.  As long as we keep up the practice of identifying and landing those good late risers, I'm all for leaving spots for them and filling out our OL/DL class with guys like that.

Love that Landon Jackson quote.

Hopefully this is just a timing issue. They are having more success with WR and DB right now than in the trenches. I don’t think they are trying to take a disproportionate amount of positions outside the trenches. They just didn’t get the first choices and now have to look closer at the next group before locking them down.

EJ is the only one i've seen talking up Cine, he's the next Tisdale type talent for EJ.

Cine's rating is actually a perception problem for him - if he had Marcus Tillman's ranking everyone would be calling him a total steal and wildly underranked. Instead he just gets a lot of "psh, overrated", even though he's still really good.

TFB now saying the silent commit will announce today. Referring to the most recent "shh".

On the silent from a month or two ago: "The old one is apparently working with Steven Spielberg on a commitment video"

Haha they're (at this point, rightfully) salty he's not doing his video with them.

Honestly given their level of quality I don't know why you'd go anywhere else as a recruit. Dele's was the raddest commit video of the year.

Heartening that our $9.95 guys haven't spilt the beans on these yet.

I don't think the sequence of commitments has anything to do with priority of need. Ironically, success early on makes us impatient about success later in the process.
