July 19, 20187 yr  I will admit, it's not looking awesome  decent.  I sure hope the offense returns from the dead so at least they can build some excitement and prove a lot of the negative recruiting wrong... I'll still wait till the end of this crootin' season to panic, but thanks for thinking about us.
July 20, 20187 yr EDIT... same article that was already posted. Why isn't there a delete button? Edited July 20, 20187 yr by texifornia
July 23, 20187 yr I'll give Brohm at Purdue credit for a) having a fun as hell offense, b) saying he wants to run at least 50 trick plays this year, and c) hiring an excellent graphics staff - this is really cool

This young man is scary accurate. Sucks that he's going to rape U. If he's not coming to Texas, I wish he'd go somewhere like WSU. I know Leach doesn't recruit Texas that much these days, but I think Zeno would tear it up in that offense.

Really good QB.  20 plus offers.  Georgia recruited him very hard.  Tech wanted him over Maverick McIvor. Leach actually doing some recruiting in Texas.  Hasn't had much luck though.
July 28, 20187 yr A lot of cookouts and hosting events are happening this weekend, so I'm expecting a lot of commitments throughout the weekend. Clemson landed 3 so far, but still not the crown jewel they are looking for in Andrew Booth. Joe Ngata 4* WR Vonta Bentley 4* LB Sergio Allen 4* LB (2020) Ngata and Allen and really good and probably better than their current ranking....Â
July 29, 20187 yr Stingley #5 composite recruit Sopsher #6 composite recruit Thomas #28 composite recruit Emery #31 composite recruit Lee #105 composite recruit Four 5 stars and 1 high 4 star within 75 miles of LSU's campus. Ed O running with some serious luck this cycle. Ed O should be able to clean up this cycle if he can just keep those 5 at home.Â

July 29, 20187 yr It's not like they weren't getting big names before this season...and they did just play in the National Championship game. Whereas Ole Miss and ATM landing big names in spite of not doing anything to write home about is extremely fishy.
July 29, 20187 yr Aggy is easier to see that something is happening but Georgia has definitely clicked it up a notch the last two classes. You don’t land that many 5 stars in one class multiple years in a row.Â
July 29, 20187 yr Yeah, everyone does it to some extent, but the rumor circulating around the region is that Georgia is definitely in Ole Miss mode...Â

July 30, 20187 yr Author Kardell Thomas saying it's 50/50 between LSU and FSU right now. https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/Article/5-Star-OL-Kardell-Thomas-on-Florida-State-Man-theres-nothing-like-it-120177631/ Nightmarish weekend for them.
July 30, 20187 yr They lost Emery, Kardale is sounding wish washy (I don't buy it though), Brooks is looking to flip to anyone in-state who will take him, and their three backup plans for Nakobe Dean are all looking iffy now that Bama is thinking about taking Harris again, Constantin is locked into Clemson, and Tongue is af Georgia. Also, the Amite kids are going to Bama unless Bama passesÂ
July 30, 20187 yr 5 hours ago, texifornia said: Interesting article about Kayvon Thibodeaux's visit to FAMU  FAMU has been a major boon to FSU recruiting for a long time now. I can understand the frustration, because I'm not sure what FAMU gets out of the relationship.

July 30, 20187 yr I guess Georgia has figured the NCAA is toothless and any weak punishment dealt out would be less than what they stand to gain.

Well, Alabama got a slap on the wrist for the large sums given to Albert Means and his coach. Alabama brought in Nick Saban and Kirby Smart came in with him. Alabama continued to cheat and became a powerhouse and Smart became head coach at his Alma mater.

July 30, 20187 yr Looking over top 100 guys in the country. I know its been discussed before but it is embarrassing that the B12 only has 2 schools with commits. Without getting into the this conf sucks etc.. Why do you guys think that is? Schools like Purdue,UVA,and Ill all have top 100 guys. Schools like WVU, TCU and Ok St cant get 1? Has the perception of this conf dropped so low that elite guys do not want to play for anyone other than UT and OU?

Ole Miss is about the only one who was regularly doing it and we all know why that was happening. TCU and Tech have both scored two Top 100 guys in the past 4 or 5 years. You'll see NC State or North Carolina in there on a somewhat regular basis, but for the most part schools like Purdue and UVA aren't doing it any more regularly than any other program without a football-centric pedigree (hard to say blue bloods because aggy is regularly up there without winning anything of note). Stanford might be the only 'non-football' school that regular pulls in multiple Top 100 guys each year, but they are now regular winners. Baylor was on the cusp of getting there before their rape culture was found out.

Ah yes then I agree. Shelves aren't usually left full unless it's a Stoops-Riley situation

I've never understood Fat Gare's negative recruiting style. TCU is in a great town, beautiful campus, elite co-ed talent, and oh yeah they've beaten the piss out of Texas for 4 consecutive years. Sell the positive attributes of your program and show recruits the scoreboard.Â
July 31, 20187 yr Maybe there is something more going on up there that we don't know about besides the negative recruiting
July 31, 20187 yr Patterson is a dick. Any coach like that is going to rub some players the wrong way. Â
July 31, 20187 yr His junior HUDL isn't up, but he moves damn well in his sophomore HUDL. Good looking athlete...

July 31, 20187 yr Georgia. Ole Miss. Arkansas. FSU. Clemson. All of them had very good weekends.  BTW - those 2 commits put Ole Miss at 27 for the class, can't be much more room there.Â
