Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I will never understand why "What if Mississippi State was weirder but had more money" is considered a sleeping giant, but you'll never see me complain when they get made fun of for wasting their money.

So how're we feeling if we miss on Simmons but land McKinley, Black, Wingo, and Mack

I feel like y'all are going way too far into Nahlin here. Gerry hasn't moved, and he's not the stubborn catty bitch that Nahlin can sometimes be. If the LSU guys were more confident, then they'd all be pouring in from the whole industry because the LSU guys would be telling others. That said, if @Wulaw Horn is who I think he is then he probably knows more than me.

I clicked on the link (neg away) because they tweeted that Liucci was gonna be on there, and Liucci couldn't figure out how to put his camera right side up, so it was going well. Liucci also said that the Texas and A&M would "split" Colin Simmons and Kobe Black when I was listening.

Hill wasn't a straight flip though, right? He decommitted and waited a few weeks.

One of the many internet things that is burned into my brain for the rest of time is Ryan Brauninger posting some bullshit about Malik Jefferson possibly flipping before signing day because he said something like "good for them" w/r/t the hiring of John Chavis, and some Aggie idiot responding "flip a sip is my favorite game." Otaro Alaka is the only straight flip they've had in like, 10 years, right?

Think he was the lowest rated of that crew, too. I remember when he committed and Higdon was saying how much of a steal he was. Ah, memories.

Wilbon was a solid rotation player for years and graduated I think.

This is the guy that Herman called a bitch for decommitting from him at Houston, yeah?

This. I was in school from '08-'12 and didn't care about them until my senior year when they just wouldn't shut the fuck up.

Calm down, buddy, I didn't care at all about any of it. Just another of the Strong-era shitstorms.

There is a thread on IT trashing their own rankings? Edit: they do indeed, at least Nahlin is posting about "how On3 operates."

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I am vividly remembering being in my high school IB physics class at U-High (known on this board as University Lab, the high school that is on the LSU campus), getting a bad grade on a test, and saying something like "If I don't fix my grades in this class I might end up at LSU." My classmates, 80% of which were matriculating to LSU, were very offended. I'm now a lawyer and my undergrad degree means jack shit, so bully for me I guess. I think what you've said is reasonable, I just don't think it really tips things in our favor as much as we say it does or has overwhelmed other stuff in the past. For an ex-NFLer, as most of these guys think they will be, what does their undergrad degree even mean?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I'm sure they were a factor. I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, I'm saying that we overrate it. I just severely doubt that a 5* kid from Acadiana that could go anywhere is gonna make his choice based on the computer science department. This is more true in basketball (or at least was when I went there). 7(or 8, not sure about John Ehret) of the On3 top 10 in Louisiana go to public schools. A lot of the private schools in small town Louisiana were originally established as "religious" schools after Brown v. Board. They have some black athletes, but it ends up with situations like the Clinton, Louisiana public high school being all black despite that town being about 50/50 black/white. I really really hope we land this kid. Just not holding my breath because he says he wants to be in computer science.

Speaking as the son of LSU's former Director of Student Judicial Affairs, LSU is very good at that.

I do not credit a single recruiting report that uses "academics" as a data point. Why is the kid not choosing from Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Stanford then? I am very proud of my UT degree but I think this board and others get way too spun up about that. A high school football player that "cares about academics" is just one that's not going to start in the gen ed program. McKinley will be surrounded by a bunch of boat salesman, beverage distributors, and lawyers with LSU law degrees (the only kind in Louisiana) telling him you can still get rich going to LSU. The pressure to go to LSU when you are just a regular high school student (shitty basketball player profile aside); I cannot imagine the amount of folks buzzing around that kid right now telling him to go to LSU, computer science interest or not. I'll believe it when I see it when we get one of those big hogmollies out of there.

I hope that when they go 8-5 in year 9 of Jimbo and he still has a lower winning % than Sumlin they are pointing to 2020 as the proof in the pudding.
