    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.

So is 2 the number at CB if Black goes our way? Only took 1 corner last cycle (Muhammad) and 2 in 2022 (Brooks and Austin Jordan, Guilbeau seems destined for nickel). We have added a few transfers during that time period.

3 would be the ideal - don't forget Mack.

That's right. Yeah, that would be a great 3 man haul. Getting Santana Wilson in the boat early set a solid floor.

Welp, at least this solves the Gibson/Gipson confusion.

Clemson mods were always 1000% confident on Gipson. When IT started hedging, I knew it was over. 

In hindsight, it was so obvious. When Roach puts his nuts up on the table, we should have known he had legit intel. 

Just now, RockyMountainHighHorn said:

Isn’t black a higher ranked player than Gipson? Surprised he hasn’t been the higher priority from the jump.

Pretty sure he has been.

Gotcha. Just seems to be extra doomsday-y but if we have a more important option liking us…don’t think it’s a devastating loss. I only say this because sometimes, not you know who level, but sometimes I get worried when we lose someone very important.

It’s looking like 

CB-  Black

CB-  Mack (Gerry says Mack like UF but family may prefer Texas and LSU is also on the mix.  Not sure Texas leads in this one).

Star/Nickel-  Wilson

S:  JJR

S:  Probably Josh Lair.

On paper that is a very good secondary class. Safety maybe a tad lacking but after getting Roberson and Williams last cycle it is a fine follow up class. Will be interested to see how JJR looks as a senior because there are some ranking disagreements about him between services.

Wilson looks pretty damn good at CB on film IMO.

Nothing like acting like a petty cunt right before you are proven wrong. Nahlin is already in midsession form. 

It’s just “the form” at this point. 

At Gipson’s commitment ceremony, there’s a big throne he’ll be sitting on as he announces his choice. Lulz.

Cool helmets. Is that..um, a cardboard cutout of him?

It seems to be a cutout of a much older man, I’m guessing a family member who may have passed or couldn’t otherwise attend.

Jesus has them on a sweet NIL deal. Promoting never ending loaves of bread (this was before Olive Garden) and wine, plus shoes that walk on water, something even Phil Knight hasn’t figured out.

Ah, you’d think with such an ornate throne, a hologram might have been in order.

If that was your deciding factor, Texas should win out every single time. Feel bad for the kid. He really screwed that one up.

Eh, it was a canned answer.  Dream school, church bags, what more do you need?  They won't be doing shit to further his prospects after  football.

Eh, Clemson takes care of their players. If you don't have grand business plans it's just fine for that.

Eh, what sort of care would that be, exactly?  Insurance agent in bum fuck Egypt?  It's a serious question, I'm curious as to where Clemson's post-graduate prosperity resides.

I'm not that mad about it. I wanted him but I had written him off for awhile when it was first reported he was a heavy Clemson lean. Then IT comes swinging in saying its Texas, it was a nice surprise but we still have Black and Mack on deck. Definitely makes Mack that much more important though.

Underestimate the booming economic metropolis of Charleston, Columbia and North Charleston at your peril sir.

Not a better market to run AirBnB’s for Waspy bachelorette parties in the entire South Atlantic coastal region.

I have to tell you, I spent 3 days in Charleston earlier this month with my wife and kids, and it was fucking great. I had there once before and enjoyed that time as well. The amount of hot ass from 18-55 was fucking staggering. Food and sights were great as well. 

Not that your point wasn’t valid or funny. Just wanted to give the shout out.

I’m more amused at Surly shitting on Roach the past couple weeks over this guy.

One of my oldest - since pre-teen years - and closest friends lives in Charleston.  It is a gem of a place, aside from the traffic.  So many people are moving there I fear the natives are going to feel like long-time Austinites.  And I know you didn't address Clemson, but it is in the middle of nowhere.  They're closer to Atlanta than Charleston, I believe.  Not sure how much juice Dabo carries in the ATL.

I’d circle back on Bridges. Especially if the staff isn’t 100% sure they’re getting Mack. 

Did the staff cool on Bridges? I do remember the early tea leaves being positive and then he committed to Arky kind of out of the blue (at least to me).

Maybe wait a couple years and then put him in the appropriate "portaling to Texas" thread.

Not to beat a dead horse, but if any of you have ever talked to Nahlin irl, then you know it doesn't take long to see how much of a blowhard he is.  That he would handle something like a tit-bag when proven to be wrong, is the least surprising thing to come from this.

I believe the story was the staff liked him, but his OV was thrown off by coming in late due to 7 v 7 and was just okay and Texas just liked him while Arkansas was saying he would be the #1 CB in their class.
