Non-Texas Recruiting Notes and Highlights: 2019 Edition

Looking bad for O right now. 

TD talking about bad O Line play, unproven and unreliable WR play, freshman at RB. Mediocre to decent QB. Defense could be nasty as usual.

    Yeah. The QB who can't buy himself a beer is to blame for all of the  recruiting woes of USC. What a fucking cunt of a comment.

Kind of strange we don't have an LSU thread on the football board yet.

Anyway, LSU held a players-only meeting yesterday, so looks like all's well in Baton Rouge.

With all the stuff going on around the country, I don’t see how a school would take a chance with him. 

The perfect scenario is for Ed O to do just enough to stick around for next year when we play them, but still have some guys jump ship, and still beat aggy.

Veni vidi cougi

I personally think 24/7 has him ranked too high.  The fault, dear Texifornia, is not in his star-rankings, but in himself.

It is fucking insane, with this kind of shit happening at Baton Rouge on damn near the reg these days, that they're taking Marcel Brooks. Or, well, fuck, maybe it's the most logical thing about Reverend Edgart Beauchamp Orgeron, MD's circus of a program.

Anybody in that class we could potentially get when Ogre burns it to the ground this year?  Stingley or is he a Tiger all the way?  

I think these would be good targets

Marcel Brooks Marcus (Flower Mound, TX) OLB 6-3 / 195  4*

Anthony Bradford Muskegon (Muskegon, MI) OT 6-5 / 320  4*

Marcel Brooks and Texas is not a match.

Anthony Bradford's junior tape wasn't of a four star.

 

So no on those two.

They do have others that could help us, though.

You have a lot to learn about this cycle.

what is the story on brooks?

He'd be a great fit at Baylor in the Briles era. He'd be one of their most exuberant recruits.

I don't see any news stories on him when I google his name but I suppose that does not mean a lot these days

Well, there aren’t any news stories on him, yet. There’s a multitude of reasons why Texas has zero interest. He’s even scared off the aggies. One of the key reasons is that he might be a little rapey. Another might be that he’s got a handler with the worst kind of behavior.

rapey is 100% a no go.......fucking handlers (especially ones in Texas HS football) are equally a no go thanks for the info sounds like two strikes and a total pass

There's more. Probably more like five strikes. He'll fit right in at learning slow university.

I always thought it the ultimate irony that some LSU fans refer to Coach Ed Orgeron by the abbreviated "CEO".

I’m really enjoying watching Orgeron destroy that program.   Why anyone in their right might thought he was fit to be a HC is insane.  What even more insane is paying him 3 mil to do so.  Just need him to suck long enough for us to get Zach Evans

I have never heard it confirmed, but in the early days of this cycle, one of the guys from DFW not named Brooks was rumored to pretty much just straight up special ed. If true, how does that recruit get into college, outside of Chris Vaughn level academic fraud? Whatever the reason, Texas also stayed the fuck away from that guy as well.

Haven't some players gotten into college because they're special ed, thus getting around clearinghouse eligibility requirements? That's probably how

I seen this mentioned on another board from a poster.  Pretty sure it's the same guy you're talking about.

I mean, I suppose a guy could claim to be the CEO of a used hubcap store, or of a barrel fire, so I guess it's not entirely implausible

You are correct and just like getting a free pair of shades every year through your employers Vision program, players can get special ed "qualified" to gain acceptance to some of the best universities in oklahoma.

Yeah, for sure. Casey Hampton didn't have a prayer of getting into Texas until he received an accommodation to take the SAT either orally or un-timed. He had a true learning disability but a normal IQ. The guy I'm referencing allegedly has an IQ around 75 and is basically non-functioning in the classroom. 

My daughter is in Teach for America and chose "location of highest need" thinking they'd send her to inner city Chicago or Los Angeles or something. Nope. They dropped her right into rural Mississippi. You have to pass a state reading exam in 3rd grade there in order to pass to 4th. They stop socially promoting at that grade. Her first year, she had 85 kids for whom she was responsible. The parents and teachers basically just don't give a shit. She had a 13 year old in her class, multiple 12 year olds and like 20 11 year old kids. Not one accommodation out of 85 kids. When she was done filing the paperwork at the state and fed levels, 27 kids qualified and almost every one of them passed to 4th grade. Sometimes, someone just has to give a shit. Sometimes, though, someone is just borderline retarded.

My guess is actually a highly ranked player who committed to a bottom-of-the-barrel out of state school. One that not even A&M and LSU seem to be interested in anymore.

A HS teammate of mine played for TCU and had a couple years in the NFL. He got diagnosed with a learning disability and and was able to take the SAT with extra time (may have been untimed, it’s been 15ish years).

It has to be this guy right? I remember some story about him having a lot of trouble with memorizing the playbook.

Connect the dots in the posts above yours and it should become pretty clear. Here's the top recruits in Texas to cross-reference:

https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=Highschool&State=TX

There is literally only one person who fits the description CTJ said yep to.

Some of yall needed untimed SATs too apparently.

 

I dunno what you guys are talking about.  He's a Beas[t]on the field, and a Beas[t]on the classroom.
