Have been busy today and I guess I missed the IT update skimming through the last few pages of just pure, uncut inanity and trash from most posters bringing their F game today, but I'll comment on the Weigman/Klubnik/Ewers conundrum as I've heard it.
Regarding the QB situation:
Jimbo viewed the Klubnik recruitment akin to what we know as the Eric Winston experience. The family, including one very strong advocate, wanted ATM. Klubnik wasn't exactly drooling to go to ATM and it was going to be a slog. Ewers never showed interest in ATM and the east coast standout was a pipedream. Enter Weigman, who UT isn't very interested in, and lo and behold he's ready to commit.
That speeds up shit on the UT side. Suddenly Klubnik, who I am personally not excited about but who cares?, has family buy-in on going to UT. So Texas can't wait multiple months batting eyes at Ewers. If Texas waits that long, they pass on Klubnik for good because he's not going to wait around or be plan C, and if they don't get Ewers, fuck us running.
So Texas makes the play for taking the Samson kid if Ewers will flip. He's a good WR and will run a sub 11 100 meter this spring, but he'd be the 5th guy and only if they land Ewers. He would not be a PWO. It's a binary trade. Get Ewers, take his buddy and maybe he pans out. Don't get Ewers, the buddy gets to go to SMU or Colorado.
So, that's the first big recruiting test for Sarkisian and it should be interesting to watch. Ol'Jimbo inadvertently pushing timelines up is somewhat humorous to me, for whatever reason. I guess I just dig chaos.
