You forgot about the all the money. Piles and piles of cash. I hear people, especially 18 year olds, fucking love having lots of money.

    How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

    He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

If we land McKinley, that should set off every single alarm bell in the LSU fan base. Guys like him have been a lay up since 2000.

Five actually. Simmons, Black, McKinley, Baker and Wingo. 

Just about everyone seems to consider us comfortably leading for Simmons and Black at the moment. Same can arguably be said for McKinley following his visit and the more we hear that travel distance + academics are going to be crucial to his decision the more you have to love our chances. Obviously there is a lot of hype about us and Wingo as well; personally I think all of that is irrelevant until he takes his OV to Tennessee (our real competition) later this month but even still we have a good shot. Finally we pretty much know Baker is a coin flip between ourselves and Ohio St. 

Crazy thing is unlike past years where we would do these 'dream scenario' type lists none of these really require a bunch of things to fall our way. We could land all five and it wouldn't even be an upset (not that I expect that to actually happen). 

Could be six if Gibson gets bumped up.

Check out the poors recruiting thread. Every LSU screen shot blames Texas NIL, and never mentions Kelly.

How can anyone blame these skills ?

Also, didn’t LSU just buy the ever loving shit of their recent baseball title on the NIL market? I think their best 4 players including the top 2 upcoming draft picks in the MLB draft were bought transfers. Fuck all the way off , lying Cajun trash.

Austin, Texas.  Big city, huge fan base.  No pro team.   World class university with a blueblood football program.  NCAA neutered as to NIL in Texas.  Texas Exes and fans all over Texas, America and the World.  I am glad I have lived long enough to see this.

He started his meat judging career at aggy, then squeezed through the transfer portal on his way to tech.

He’s more likely just parking there until Jimbo is gone. He’s thinking retirement and and he knows just where he can find the best deal and put in the least effort.

To be clear, anyone moving money around ahead of a guy getting to campus is playing the bag game and is dealing with someone really short sighted in the recruit’s camp. There’s so much more possible in real NIL. 

Texas doesn’t do the bag thing, still. It’s less and less relevant anyway. 

From the NIL, there’s a lot of variability once a guy gets to campus. Corporate also plays a big role. The coaches and admin will generally know what they can pitch about opportunities on a case by case basis and then the player usually has someone working on their behalf for the bigger picture. That works in UT’s favor. You have something well-heeled and strongly organized on one hand, and then way more corporate oops than most schools on the other. The agents figure all of that out really quickly. There’s also the fact that other schools have made shit up about NIL and tried to lie about UT too, but players at each school will tell recruits the truth. That’s happened already in this cycle more than once. 

One of the basketball stars’ agents encouraged his guy to not worry much about collective NIL comparisons between schools because he’d already figured out that the corporate opportunities in Austin dwarfed the other schools the guy was looking at on that end. I imagine that is happening in football more now too. 

Honest question, when can players sign with an agent?  Can they sign in HS or is it all a wink and a nod type deal.

Aggy saying they’re getting Simmons to visit for the last weekend of July.

Yep. And your position wasn't incorrect. LSU just bought themselves the 2023 NCAA Baseball Championship.

Could BK be the first LSU coach in a really long time that actually has to recruit? Please baby jeebus make it so

That visit was previously on his schedule posted at the beginning of June. Seems like the hope is he commits to us before then and shows up in Austin instead, but if he is elsewhere then this will be a long ride to the finish.

Or he shows up to A&M and that experience confirms his decision to attend The University of Texas.

This one will be a long ride no matter what he does this month imo.

People with eyes have been saying for over ten years now that the main missing puzzle piece for Texas was elite line recruiting.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t one of the $9.95 say they were expecting 3 more commits before the end of America’s birthday (after our last string of commits)? Should we be expecting 3 commits today?

At least 3 by Sunday, but not by today. That’s my view, and I haven’t seen any $9.95ers say anything more bullish than that.

Just don't keep admitting you're wrong and you'll be ok.
