    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.

I’m not certain I’ve ever had to endure that song throughout its entirety. I remember people talking about it long before I ever heard the chorus and understood the previous references.

This is no place for recruiting talk, sir.

There is literally an entire board dedicated to this bullshit. GTFO. We're getting a commit today

No we need to argue more about the thing a few nice Belmont grads made using market research to design something people would feel the need to argue about without actually changing anyone's mind or accomplishing anything.

Somebody needs to post visor-girl. She's a panacea for bad threads. 

 

- Anna Adams (Clemson 247) reiterated her Clemson call.  Her note is below.  If I look at her position and Roach's, and their tone, they are clearly hearing something pretty definitive from their sources.  Question is how good their sources are on their intel?  Has Gipson been positive enough that both staffs assume they're getting him?  (Roach's ability to interpret intel is just about zero.)

- The current Horns 247 guys ... don't think they know much.  And they're waffling.

- And then there's On3.  Think Eric reiterated his Texas call yesterday.

Let's hope the sources who fed the "Ohio State vs Clemson, Texas is running third" stuff to Roach are off, and Eric and the IT guys are correct .

Yes this is true.

My nephew is being recruited by LSU and he’s being offered an NIL deal with a free 1978 Pinto for all 4 years, unlimited Gumbo at Ralph and Kacoo’s, 24 Nutria pelts, 4 Raccoon fur hats, a free 18 foot airboat, an accordion with free Zydeco lessons, and a miniature pet alligator.

This hits close to home.  When I was a kid the family was headed to Disney when the Bonneville broke down in Baytown.  Undeterred the 5 of us regrouped and jumped into the Pinto Wagon and hooked it to Florida.  It was like Lord of the Flies in that back seat.  At one point I was wishing someone would rear end us and end the suffering.

Man, someone is going to look like an idiot.  Hopefully it is Mike Roach.

I really liked Robinson’s film. I have no clue what’s going on with his ranking, but that seems to be a common theme this cycle.

We're in a fight today for Robinson, but no reason to feel negative. I'm not basing this on any insider info, just by gut, but if we're not really offering anything over the top for Gipson, clemson might. That one feels more like a see-saw to me, or at least vulnerable to a late scoop by Clemson. Maybe they threw money on the table now and that's why the Clemson mods are so confident? Guess we'll find out Saturday. 

 

On D'Antre Robinson, from Gators 247. 

(Glad this saga ends - hopefully! - soon.  Sheesh.  Where's the back seat of a Pinto when you need one??)

Man this staff has us in a great spot. We are now consistently poaching top guys out of Florida. It’s cool to think how the Florida schools probably think of us how we’ve thought of Ohio State in recent years.

"At this time," is a good phrase for this recruitment. If we land his commitment today he's one of those types we will have to keep recruiting through signing day. 

Yep, but that's big boy recruiting. We thought Derek Williams, Mitchell and Baxter would be very bumpy rides til signing day last year and there really wasn't too much drama. This staff seems to do a good job of keeping the guys they want in the boat.

We went through this with Baxter, and I assume we will have to fight off some late charges for Gibson. Thankfully this staff is used to having to fend off the local schools at this point and has us in a position to need to do that.

Williams had a lot of behind the scenes drama I believe. The other two were blessedly chill.

I do remember towards signing day there was the drama about if he was going to sign early or stretch it to February and visit Miami (I think), but for a borderline 5-star kid out of Louisiana it was relatively low stress.

Robinson would be huge. He is at a need position. This has become one of the more important recruitments in this cycle. Might be one of the few times I care more about getting a 3 star, than a top 100 player. Both would obviously be better

Downside of Tennessee getting Mike Matthews yesterday is that their chief competitor was Clemson, so that might free up Clemson’s budget to up the ante on Gipson.

Yeah but it stops with a fucking right hand turn in Baton Rouge when you are heading East.  Has always been the dumbest fucking part of I-!0, a road that spans the nation.

No, he beleives in straight bags of cash under the table or funneled through a local church. So yes, Name, Image, and Likeness of Jesus is actually spot fucking on in this case.

On Robinson, he’s the top DL on UT’s board. I expect him to commit and stay committed with limited drama, especially since Florida is about to get their heads beaten in this season. They might not go bowling. 

On Gipson, these data points aren’t good for Texas - visits to Clemson; waiting until after his bff is gone back to school before announcing. These data points are good for Texas - Swinney doesn’t usually close recruitments like this; there is a hype man in this recruitment working to create drama.

Mike Roach is a lazy buffoon and he’s getting info from someone that wants interest in this commitment. Ohio State has never been second and he’s fucking derelict in ever reporting that. Just a thoughtless pig. 

Crazy NIL isn’t a factor here. If he picks Clemson, take the L. One thing is for sure, someone is getting a bad feed on this one. The bet is on either Roach/Adams or Hamilton/Burton. One of those duos talks to UT coaches, the other talks to handlers and Clemson coaches. I won’t be surprised by either choice for Gipson.
