Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls

Could be he got confirmation on Hampton or Blocton, who are announcing tomorrow and Saturday, IIRC. Would be cool if it was someone else going public today.

  • Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

    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.

Gerry just said hi

That is about basketball. That mediocre as fuck transfer guard Horton was on his visit and they said they would have an update this morning on how it went. Considering the timing pretty obviously about him. Also Gerry didn't jump in to correct the people who immediately clarified it was about basketball which basically confirms it.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel

These days don’t “mediocre guard” and “depth at guard” pretty much go hand-in-hand?

6'5" guard who has 102 games - averaging 30+ minutes per game - under his belt and who has never shot less than 35% from BTA and makes his free throws is definitely not mediocre.  And Self wanted him at KU.

Honestly, I'm just over the Hampton recruitment. Obviously the kid is a take, but if we don't get him...meh. 

Although it's way late in the cycle and we have plenty of good to great guards already on board, I'm shocked to learn Horton might not be a lottery-level guy with a celebrated NBA career ahead of him. Fire everyone. 

Edit: Meanwhile, back to football. I'm ambivalent on Hampton but "trust the coaches" if he signs here. Hills I'm for sure hoping we get.

having some technical difficulties on the forum for star ratings on recruits. But we will have a recruiting section it's live now at the top menu of the board on desktop or on mobile in the menu bar. 

 

Looking forward to the 2024 Immamac 69

Hampton seems like a coin flip at best as to whether he will ever be a productive member of the team if he commits. Let’s hope that all the talk about how good the culture has gotten is true and he works out better than Hall and Billingsley did. 

Stars are fixed and up - do we want our own star rating or do we want to just inherit the composite rating? I feel like if we do our own ratings it will just turn into everyone being a 5 star lol. 

I did look into the boner excitement chart as the icons for the stars, unfortunately they are all uniform and its not possible lol. 

I also want to take recommendations to what people want to see on that landing page (the article page is whatever - I'm gonna template those later on myself)

I'm sure we could commission @THUJONE to draw some icons that would have that certain je ne sais quoi .

I think we just use the On3 composite, does the dirty work of aggregating everyone for you.

Would it be possible to have a list rather than tiles where we can sort by the columns (stars, position, name, HS, whatever...).

Thanks for putting this together! Makes parsing through all the recruiting mayhem a lot easier.

What about “Immamac’s Texas 69” but your algorithm auto kicks any aggy commits.

I can't find the recruits hand sizes anywhere, can we have those prominently featured somewhere?

what about this?

If not the on3 composite ratings, then the only possible choice left in the universe is to rely completely on my ratings without discussion. I rate by how cool the player’s name sounds.

Given how much shit we give looch for pumping up aggy recruits in his top 44, it's probably better to rely on composite than do our own star ratings.

Tough break for Jake Smith

So the idea is once they sign their NLI I'll add the tag of 2024 Recruit or something else we deem surly enough to mark them as really actually committed.

This will let us keep track of the flakers. or who's left that didn't do early signing that is verbal already.

Can you add a frosted flake or a corn flake next to them if they are not solid or gonna be processed?
