Featured Replies

Lots of guys cannot afford or get transportation to the camps where these prospects get graded.  It’s not that shocking.

Murphy no?

Sounded to me like the comparison was to other players in his class and folks ranking guys like Nico above him.

Is "the windup guy" Nico I. or Malachi Nelson? I assume Nico, but could be wrong.

The guys that Tennessee is paying $8M. I haven't bothered learning his name. He's ethnic Garrett Gilbert mechanically. Big arm though.

That kid seems to care about the lifestyle and everything else more than football. I believe he missed quite a few games this year but if he didn’t his stats were on par with Arch on a much more impressive team

Scrawny thing, ain't he?

Not to be confused with his cousin, a great softball prospect out of Thailand.

In what way do you think DeWayne420057 reposting a high traffic blog article and a Mississippi State message board about a public offer is going to mess up this recruitment?

Because it’s fucking Mailbox. The dude is a slightly less aggressively ignorant BO&W. Might even be a bit downsy

If he’s that big, holy shit.

It's weird. He looks massive on the football field, but just above average on the basketball court. Biggest one on the court still, but not the hulking mass he appears to be on the field.

You ever stop and think that he might be an actual mailbox?  And if so, pretty smart for a mailbox?

Isn't that tape from last year when he was a few inches shorter and 50 lbs lighter?

I won't be surprised if it's dumb low IQ UT fans on Twitter that ruins this recruitment.

You think some idiots on Twitter are going to ruin this, and he's going to Coastal Carolina instead? Hot take there, bud.

How do you mean? it was quite literally posted by all the UT 9.95ers, including the free ones like HornSports and SBNation. The picture is a post of the MS State board reacting to it?

It was also first posted to Twitter by the kid himself.

Yeah, supposedly he grew 3 inches and gained over 50lbs.

But his wingspan shrunk 6 inches in the process

Here's what I was referring to, and the most recent one is earlier this month. Start at the 1 minute mark of the top video

Looks massive compared to everyone else out there, not sure what you are seeing. He looks a couple inches taller than the other front court, but is twice as wide.

So we offered Leonard Davis son.  Niceeee

Largest human I have ever seen in person.  A literal mountain of a man.

Years ago I was with Doug Dawson in New Orleans and we met a black policeman there who was 6'11" 480lbs. Nothing like seeing a man make an NFL lineman look tiny.

Years ago there was an OL for a Louisiana directional school who was 6'11" 400 lbs. Don't remember the name, just the size because it was hilarious. Wonder if it's the same guy.

There can't be that many guys that big, can there?

It looks like Rivals is dropping their updated rankings today:

 

 

Looks like Malik Muhammad missed out on the 5-star bump.

Those people are tiny, though. Looks like maybe one other six-footer in the group.

Yup. Johntay got bumped to 5. Bug Mountain fell 8 spots, but kept his fifth star. Duce dropped one spot, but similarly kept the fifth. They're about to get into the Top 10, so no other's related to Texas until we get to Arch barring something crazy.

The stunt car and the actual car in that movie were own by one of my buddies. 

Thay scene they put a big ass dent in the side of the stunt car when they hit a trash can. The stunt car wasn't a real GTO

Oh fuck, it's definitely because of DeWayne230954q3543 Twitter, we all fucked up

I'd have to imagine he'll stay in state. However, maybe he'll appreciate that Texas was his first big offer and took a chance on him.

Assuming he's paid attention at all to college football, I have to imagine it would be an easy sell to get coached by Bo fucking Davis to hone your abilities. We'll see if there are any external factors working on us here. But being first in line, and having Bo, I'm personally optimistic.

The guy who said in his quote that Texas is always winning? Well ok, buddy.

I know, I know. I'm pumping sunshine here. However, he did say "you see them on TV a lot," so maybe he was only awake for kickoffs?

Also, I've been to Starkville. He'll probably really enjoy his visit here.

Yeah, this. Plus, he's newer to football and from a small town in Mississippi. I'm not sure he'll be all that aware of a lot of the nuance and differences in schools or programs.

So did Mississippi State bother to scout this kid at all before Bo Davis offered him? He’s in their backyard, they had all year to show interest in him.

Feels like they saw the Texas offer and just reacted.

Or maybe he has ADHD and has only ever seen the first half of our games?

or somehow he gets LHN and he only sees us win.

Looking forward to the meltdown when a kid literally nobody on earth heard of a week ago doesn't end up coming here.
