So you don’t follow recruiting but you keep hearing Missouri is a threat for Wingo? Are these the voices in your head or are you lying about not following recruiting?

Better to keep lurking and be thought a fool than to post and remove all doubt

These are our resident recruiting experts who shot me down when I mentioned hearing about Missouri being a threat. It doesn't take a genius nor does it take for someone to follow recruiting very closely to believe Missouri could be a threat because how much a local kid like Luther Burden has been shining over there, but this board's all knowing assholes be assholes.

    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.

People shot you down because by your own admition you couldn't be bothered to follow recruiting or even reading the thread before posting some dumb nonsense that had been asked and answered multiple times. You want things spoon fed to you like some baby man so expect some hospitality if you are unwilling to show respect

I asked a legitimate question (something even a casual follower could see coming) and you thought it was dumb to ask it. Yet now that Gerry mentions it, it's ok. You didn't have to engage me if you didn't want to "spoon feed" me or didn't have time. You keep responding, so you do have the time but you were wrong in your assessment. Other posters were nice enough to answer. You should listen to your own advice and post less of your stupid and arrogant takes when you are not smarter or more informed than others.

Meh, his agent is probably putting out feelers to GM's of struggling NFL teams. Little Lincoln isn't cut out for the B1G where he can't out talent everyone else in conference.

Are you talking about his height?

Choking and losing to your less-talented rival you boat raced a year ago in a season you are supposed to be winning the conference is not "stepping up," no matter what excuses you accept. OU has ruined our season repeatedly since Mack Brown stepped on campus, with very few exceptions.

Lord you are a petulant little child aren't you.  I neg this stupid bit of idiocy a d you go to the trouble of hunting down 2 posts by me to neg...bravo sir.

Brooks is a great college running back who isn’t elite in any single category. He’s not gonna get drafted before day 3. He may decide he wants a shot at making a roster and leaves early.  It I would bet he comes back next year. 

AD is showing up on more 1st round mock drafts than X now. Both will be drafted in the first two rounds and maybe even both in the 1st. They’re gone after this year. 

The thing is he isn't going to become anymore elite at anything if he stays. If he continues his big year this could be his best shot. He should take it.

He is a RB. He should go. The offense will be completely different next year. This year every DC is worried about Quinn, Sanders, Worthy, and AD.. Those guys are all likely gone next year. When that happens opposing DCs primary game plan will be to stop the run and make a new QB and young WRs (with a portal guy or 2) beat them throwing the ball.

DeAndre Carter watching this Auburn offense

Freeze either didn’t have the will or the authority for a full tear down. But it should have been done. 
 

I think Carter signs with Texas. His family doesn’t want to spend 3+ hours in the air, and then drive another 2 hours to Auburn to watch their kid pay. 
 

Another recruiting advantage in the SEC. Austin and Nashville are it on major airports.

Not really true unless they were arriving at 7:30am. The first flight out of LA gets them in on Friday or Saturday at 11:30. When a friend of mine takes it, he gets to my office which is the same direction but further at 12:15 and that includes walking to the Uber pickup in the garage.

Gerry said he expects an OV to happen (kid lived in San Antonio at one point when he was younger). Also said this offer isn’t related to Wingo. Williams missed a lot of his junior year with injury and impressed the staff on video as a senior so far.

We might be hoping for Florida to take out FSU, depending on how crowded it ends up at the top.

I liked the talk about Missouri being a threat for Wingo because of Luther Burden being featured for them. Burden was huge in the Missouri win against Kentucky. No one will ever forget that 2 catches for 15 yards and 1 endaround for 6 yards performance. 

Missouri is in it with Wingo because they're nearby, the state school, and they're concentrating what they can in NIL on him (which worked for the DL). May not be enough. They're doing everything they can to land him, no doubt. Luther Burden doesn't make a lick of difference though.

Burden effect isn't a factor in Wingo recruitment? You have to be kidding. It's a huge factor. Burden NIL in Missouri is everywhere. His family can walk into any store in the state and get Luther Burden merchandise. He is the face of the program and doing very well on the field and certainly doing well with NIL.  They are selling Wingo on being the next face of the program and having his face plastered everywhere. It's like being Mr Football in a small town but now it's the entire state. It's a huge factor in his recruitment and the one thing no other school can offer.
