Did you try resetting the modem?

7:30 am and no commitments yet. I am disappoint.

Seriously though, savor this y'all. Days like this past weekend are why we follow recruiting.

4 OL committing on the same day is some kind of message. [emoji110]

Son of a bitch!  I anxiously await the site coming back up to see what 5 star committment caused the crash only to find out @immamac apparently dribbled mcrib sauce into the server.

If we could just get him to try a lower sodium sauce, the likelihood of a short would be much lower.

We are just addicted to the emotional rollercoaster. Kinda like an abusive relationship.

Fuck it, let's own today too.

WHAT A WEEK

Just post your phone number here and I'm sure we can get that corrected.  In fact, go ahead and post your address too just in case you don't hear the phone and we have to drag you out of bed.

You see that 'Tree-Fiddy' under my name? I pay your fucking salary and I'm not paying you to sleep.

 

With all due respect.

Dreamt that all the late night fuss was over a kicker commit.

Woke up to no new commit and an exploded Surly, instead. Somehow worse.

Anyone that inquires about the phone tree gets added to the phone tree.

Apparently there’s a trio of commitments lined up today. Per a 247 Baylor reporter. He said that “Texas fans are going to be very happy, that’s all I can say right now”

So....Baxter, Cook, & Pilot?

I thought about texting you, but then I thought "what kind of psycho  pervert texts at 1:00 a.m.? "

Zachariah Branch, Baxter, Hicks, and Hill.

Why are we loading up on (what 247 says are) 3 star linemen?  They fit Flood's requirements?  Just curious why Arch wouldn't attract a much higher caliber of linemen.

Give me Gullette, Baxter, and Cook. Maybe swap Baxter with Hill for funsies.

8 of our last 11 OL commits are consensus 4/5 stars (per Gerry), and that's not to say the current 3 star guys should be, or will remain there. Stacking high ceiling guys is a luxury, not a negative.

Gracias.  Don't get me wrong, love signing lots of the big fellas but was just confused by the rankings.  I can't say I follow recruiting incredibly closely, so appreciate the reply.

OL recruits are all about the eval and not the star ranking. Schools like Iowa, Wisconsin, and Arkansas have consistently great lines with less. The offer list on all of these guys is mighty impressive and I think that’s what we should focus on.

Chatman is a top 100 player and Goosby is likely going to make a big move up the rankings (he has NFL measureables).  Both were being pursued by the bigger programs

Stroh and Cojoe are massive humans who have the size/strength that tingle Flood's plums.  Sam Pittman from Arkansas was very much after Stroh and so was aggy despite what there propagandists are saying now. 

Arch commitment is what got these guys, who Flood identified early, to commit right now rather than dragging out their regional recruitments.

Getting more developmental type guys with low floors but very high ceilings this year after last years haul.

I’m sure you got …called… however, I wasn’t one of them. 😬

I for one have no issue with taking a higher quantity of big fellas every year who might develop than resting our laurels on 1 or 2 "saviors" who don't pan out.

I trust Flood’s eval over some dork in his mom’s basement who was once the water boy for his high school soccer team.

Good point - OL is usually described as the hardest position to evaluate.  They're most dependent on college S&C programs.

Yeah, hate a bunch of 6'5/6'6 330+ lineman.  Build your team from the inside out.

Yeah and one of the best things about all of this is that Kyle Flood can move on to developing those 2024 relationships. The train is finally rolling downhill on OL recruiting and that’s about the best damn news we’ve had in the past decade. That’s how you get this program back to where it needs to be.

don't get me wrong, i love the grinders <insert Joe Wickline fan fic here about some underrated player who knows how to shake his hand> but 10/10 times i want the Devon Campbell, Kelvin Banks, Tyler Johnson, Patrick Hudson style of guy over anyone else. give me the guy with NFL measurables who could go in the top 5 of the draft.

side note, going back to like 2016 those are the only top 50 OL we have recruited so not sure what saviors you think Texas has recruited who play on the OL?
