Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
I think this would be a cool thing to use in commit threads. Adding the Twitter/Instagram is a nice touch so that people can go follow if they want to. Maybe just needs to add the player's recruit grade/position rank? I like the way 247 has that in theirs.

Harris did indeed commit I can't find the other post, but saw something about her being the #1 setter recruit. Haven't seen anything from Anderson yet.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Looch wants two things: to keep his subscribers high on hope, and to be respected by/friends with famous people and national reporters. He knows whatever he writes can be on MBG or Pawl or Pate or whatever, so every now and then, he presents a very normal opinion. In this case, he straight up said that Quinn has been better than Klubnik and Weigman (no shit, even though no 98% aggy would ever say that out loud). That's the "normal" opinion, but because he's aggy, he needs to hide that behind all of the other ridiculous shit he vomited into that post.

2024 Texas High School Football
We've been talking about it in the softball thread too. It was 7-3 entering the 7th. Waco Midway hit 2 HRs in the top half to make it 9-3. Then the comeback. So proud of these girls. I went to high school with many of their parents, including the grand slam hitter Andrea Ortiz, and my dad is still on the school board in Weslaco. First girls team in RGV history and first team in school history to win state. And I'm pretty sure we don't even have any D1 recruits on the team. Every Valley athlete has heard how we're not good enough or big/fast/strong enough to hang with the "real" athletes up north... These girls just proved to everyone in the valley that yeah, we can hang. They are already RGV legends and I'm willing to bet that the entire team will be inducted into the RGV Sports Hall of Fame in the next few years. It might be the crowning accomplishment in modern RGV sports history. They fought hard and I certainly thought the game was over. It's heartbreaking to lose in that fashion, but they definitely don't have anything to be ashamed of.

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
This is idiotic. This team wins a title, maybe 2 with Canady pitching for the number 1 offensive team in the country. Let her stomp around wearing burnt orange. Or sure, boo hoo I don't want her on my team because she celebrates too hard, so she can go to OU or OSU or somewhere else and be in our way again. Miranda Elish used to do that all the time wearing burnt orange and I'm pretty sure no one on this board complained.

There are different POY awards. Canady won one that doesn't separate pitchers from hitters. Atwood won 2 other national POY awards

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
Was waiting until after the game to post this; my Weslaco Panthers are bringing home a state championship to the RGV! After playing 13 innings last night and beating #1 Denton Guyer, they come back in the bottom of the 7th and win it with a grand slam (at McCombs Field!)! I believe it's the first ever Girls team sport State championship for the RGV and I'm pretty sure first ever state championship for Weslaco High. Weslaco was down 7-3, gave up two HR in the top 7th to go down 9-3, then came all the way back. I'm pretty sure we don't have any D-1 recruits, Waco has a Texas A&M signee (#13 ranked player in the country) and a Baylor signee. Way to go Weslaco!! #Puropinche956!

I posted a little about the semi final game over on the softball board. 5-3 in 13 innings last night over #1 Denton Guyer! Down 7-3...Waco hits two home runs in top 7 to go up 9-3. Weslaco rallies for 8 runs and a walk off grand slam to win the state championship. What a game. Weslaco doesn't have any D-1 recruits that I know of, Waco has an A&M signee (ranked #13 player in the country) and a Baylor signee. But Weslaco is bringing it home to the RGV! #PuroPinche956!

Probably cheaper and easier to build a natatorium rather than finding space for a softball stadium

2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
I might be wrong. Or maybe it's just for high school athletes that I'm thinking of. Because why would they have to sign an NLI if the financial aid agreement ties both to each other? Currently, high schoolers sign both an NLI and a financial aid agreement.

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to RGV softball...2 RGV schools are heading to the State Championship game! 5A Harlingen South beat Aledo 1-0 and 6A my alma mater Weslaco High beat (#1) Denton Guyer 5-3 in 13 innings! They are the first two valley softball teams to ever make it to the state final. Let's go ladies! #Puro pinche 956

Financial aid agreements only tie the school, not the player. So even if he signed a financial aid agreement, that doesn't tie him down unless he's already been accepted and attending classes

Given that he said "in Knoxville", I'm assuming he was talking about the other UT.

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
If I have a local business in Austin, and I want to pay Gunnar Helm $1 million to be in a commercial, I can't see any way where the NCAA can come in and say "Well, hold on, this cap has been reached, he can't get paid for your commercial". Maybe payments direct from the school get capped, but they can't and shouldn't regulate what an athlete might get paid for appearances, commercials, signing autographs, etc. Collectives would fall under this category and therefore shouldn't be subject to any cap

Tottenham Hotspur 2024-25
Forgot about this kid Lucas Bergvall coming from Sweden. Is described like some sort of wunderkind. Just turned 18yo, box to box midfielder, we beat Barca for his signature. If he's good enough, maybe he adds to the midfield rotation. Article from the Athletic:

Tottenham Hotspur 2024-25
If these Donley/Scarlett could really pan out over the next 2 ish years, that would be really nice. Donley as a backup 10, Scarlett as a CF reinforcement. That would be nice. Moore is 16, he's got a little time. Strikers are expensive though. That's a position that's really hard to find an under the radar, bargain player. I agree though, we definitely need to pony up for a striker. Then budget for the midfield.
