Smart kid.

He should wait, even if he doesn't sign with Texas, I guarantee he can get a better situation than Baylor when this signing period ends.

That's good for us. If he signed today he would be Baylor.

Would all the family really give away the suspense with their shirt color choices? I hope all of them hulk out and rip them off with burnt orange underneath.

Pattern emerging now in year 3 with Herman:  For blue chip guys that take their announcement right up until signing day, Herman has only gotten one recruit as far as I can remember--Ossai:

2017--Big miss on K'Lavon Chaisson.

2018--Waddle (really weren't even in the running by the end of the cycle), Vernon Jackson, Bobby Brown.

2019--Misses on Bru, Sanders, Cain.

We have some good recruiters on this staff, but we need a closer. And Tom needs to be a better closer, himself.

We probably told him to hold off to get his qualification issues in order and aggy's fine taking a flyer on him and giving up the slot.

Does Texas have the highest % of hs players with so much drama? This drama makes the 9.95ers happy.

[Coelenterate Fuccboi 13010]

Javonne Shepherd is a good example of footwork king being a maker of great men.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Wait Shepherd isn't signing with us? I thought he was a lock? this is why I don't follow as closely and just wait to see who actually signs.

Shepherd has been the opposite of a lock.

No. SEC recruiting is MUCH worse. Our class is pretty drama-free overall.

That's the kindest way of looking at it.

drama always follows the kids tied to trainers..

We typically don't have a lot of drama with our recruits. It's just that the recruits we decide are worth the drama sure do love the drama. This year it's only Shepherd. Last year Coburn was a little dramatic, but not really anyone else.

It's been rumored for weeks the staff wasn't sold on him signing early.

[Katfid54 8591]

Shepherd didn't even take an OV to aggy, and we think he's signing with them today?  I think Shepherd is just trying to whip everybody into a frenzy to get a bunch of eyes on his "announcement" today.

Advantage aggy.

Damn you would think kids would see a great opportunity looking at our O-Line issues and depth moving forward.

FFS man. If you're not gonna follow, then just read and don't post stupid shit

This would be some Boyd level manipulation - have to give the kid credit if thats the case.

[satyanash 14276]

Slightly relevant, his name had been brought up as a possible transfer take.

Can’t wait to read all the BS the 9.95ers are going to spew after all this.

Cain to Penn State

[DaysOff 7821]

Does this class have an alpha dog leader? I'd assume the other commits are texting Shepherd asking him what's up.

Herb Hand and Stan Drayton are not very good at this - 2 commits combined

I didn't say anything in 2017. And the staff did a great job locking up the 2018 class before the stretch run. They did a great job winning some big-time OOS recruitments in spring and summer.

But if we want to make the leap from great to elite, we need to win some of these big-time recruitments that go the distance.
