Ewers or Bust- Lord have mercy Iām bout to bust
Yeah earlier today one of the Tech 9.95ers posted that they were trying to schedule an in-home visit. I donāt think it should make any of us more concerned than we already were.

Sorry, but Iām not going to believe it unless Thamel tweets it out.

Considering that we didn't find out that Ewers already had an in home visit from Sark until after he already had his Lubbock visit, I'd wager that Texas is intentionally keeping things very tight lipped right now. No new isn't because things have gone poorly, but because they're playing things close to the vest.

I'm interested to see how his offense looks against Power 5 competition. WKU only faced two defenses in the top 50 for yards per game, and one of them was Army. They faced three or four defenses that ranked outside the top 100. That's not to say that he can't figure it out against the Big 12, I'm just curious to see how he adapts to better athletes.

Okay as someone who actually lives in Lubbock, let me just say itās a bad place to visit, but itās a nice place to live. Not a lot of exciting attractions, but a lot of good food. Weāve got an Alamo drafthouse. Some great BBQ. A couple of Torchyās tacos. Cost of living is low. Itās nice. Itās no Austin, DFW, or even Waco, but it really is alright when you live here.

I donāt even know that itās one job is better than the other. Risking the job security of SLC just so you can be the QB coach for an old student of yours is really weird. This part of the Ewers to Tech equation never made sense to me. If Riley was itching to get into the college game, then thatās great. But the idea that heās just going to uproot his family and livelihood in Dallas to go coach in Lubbock for one single player, however great he may be, is extremely questionable.

Just realized this is not Kittleyās Twitter. His handle is @ZKittley. Iām a dummy.

The Sark pitch to Ewers has to be something like: Tech might be able to drum up enough money to outbid us. But, youāre going to be running for your life every single play. Because any O-Lineman thatās worth anything is going to Austin where, without having to play a down of football, they will sign a NIL deal thatās worth 50k JUST for being a Lineman. I still doubt Tech can outbid Texas for NIL money, but the added bonus of having highly motivated athletes who are being brought in to protect Ewerās career HAS to be a significant factor.

Not super noteworthy, but Zay changed his profile picture back to himself.

I wonder if being able to flip Banks would help sweeten the pot?

I'm super new to the 9.95ers, but it seems like a great gig. Would any of you guys like to pay me to say things like "I may not know anything for certain, but I also don't know anything newsworthy."

If the rumblings of Ewers wanting to bring elite talent with him are true, you gotta feel that Tech getting a commit from an unrated linebacker on the same day that Texas flips a 4-star Lubbock linebacker speaks volumes.

Just for clarification, does this mean: 1. Zach followed Quinn. Quinn followed Xavier? 2. Quinn followed Zach. Xavier followed Quinn?

Iām just saying, stop reading into āmy cousin says Ewers is going to Techā tweets. This McGuire tweet is the one we really donāt want to see.
-

Just a heads up: Joey McGuire has tweeted the same thing each time he lands a commit. Itās the tweet linked below. If you see it this week, then that will be the most likely indicator that Ewers has gone to Tech.

Itās worth noting that less than a month ago Tech message boards seriously thought that Deion Sanders would be their next coach. Anything can happen, but their base can be just as delusional as ours.

Talked to my pastor and he said to stop calling him during dinner. Take that with a grain of salt, but could be big if true.

It seems this thread went south because: 1. Someone said Quinnās girlfriend goes to tech. (She does not.) 2. Someoneās cousin said that Quinn is going to Tech???? 3. A couple of decently credible reports just said that thereās been a lot of Texas Tech chatter this evening. But both of them noted that nothing is done yet. Itās just been a little tough and that Tech is going to put up a fight to lure Ewers. You guys gotta chill. Nothing is finished yet. Iām obviously going to be devastated if Tech snatches him up, but itās not even close to done yet.

You really expect me to believe that a Texas Tech program who has never landed a 5-star recruit is a serious contender for one of the highest ranked recruits of all time????
