No kidding. This thread is a fucking disaster. Damned near every time I click on it and try to catch up, I wind up scrolling back up with "wait, what thread did I click on?" in my head. It's just a wall of splattered poo coming in from all directions and the heinous miasma hovering along with it.

Thats your own fault, most people just click on this thread looking for a CTJ update what the hell are you clicking it for?

    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 watched Roy Williams take a slant to the house on LSU and then saw him go NCAA Football (the game) all over them and I said “hook em” from that moment on in a house of Michigan/Michigan state parents. The principal at the school my mom worked at was a head big 12 ref and he had open tickets that we found out about. Remember seeing game day at the original location a few times and have a few game balls that we got to go to. Thankfully we won every game we went to that he reffed…

So, your friend retired and that’s why we’ve been getting fucked.  It all makes sense now!

Can I get this thing back on track? What’s the plan at DT? Not pushing for Lindsey, McKinney, Hibbler, or Foster. Best guess, they have a big fish that’s portal bound.

My bad.  I actually used the search function within the thread to see if it had been mentioned and didn't see anything.

I read that as to say maybe we can stop talking about cocks hats and focus on recruiting’ in the, you know, recruiting thread.

i mean rolling into next year with some combo of Collins/Broughton/Trill Carter/Bryant/Bledsoe/Sydir Mitchell + the recruits (Melvin Hills/DeAntre Mitchell/Alex January) + maybe bringing back Murphy + portal player will be fine i bet.

i'd think big game hunting at DT/NT should be interesting with being able to sell how good Sweat and Murphy were this year - and assuming you can NIL-whip Murphy to stay in school being able to sell playing next to him is a huge plus as well.

I think Murphy comes back with some NIL incentive....

So, we are back to the dream secondary class but we are subbing in Filsaime for Gipson.

Haha sadly some guys named strong and Herman probably had more to do with it but you’re right, calls weren’t blatantly missed or called on us out of the blue. We also had a guy named Vince for a couple and Benson(was really nice when I met him RIP) for a few others-probably helped.

Texas has never pushed for Bussey. They recruited him, but he didn't mesh well on his visit, he doesn't have a definite position, and he's always been a "is the juice worth the squeeze" recruit for Texas, with the answer being "no".

McKinley has the issues discussed in the past that kind of make his recruitment similar to Bussey's. There is a belief that he's looking for a reason to stay put with ATM. Good for them, I guess. 

Offensive Tackles with serious shoulder injuries should simply be avoided. Can they come back from them and be fine? Sure. Can they wind up total busts in part because of the nature of the injury? Tommy Brockermeyer. 

Texas would have absolutely taken Myles Davis and they simply got beat in that recruitment. Texas would have absolutely taken Corian Gipson and they simply got beat in that recruitment. Given where things are trending with Filsaime, there's an argument to be made that Texas would not take either of the other guys at this point. Don't call me a liar if Texas lands Filsaime and still also takes Davis, but they'd have to feel like they have nothing to lose by adding him at the last minute. Obviously, landing Filsaime is the big deal and not a sure thing at all. Regarding Gipson, there is justified concern about recovery from a serious knee injury, even in 2023.

Regarding DT, Texas likes what it sees for its roster in 2024. There isn't the kind of urgency that people were begging for heading into this cycle. Between the guys coming back and the guys they are signing, apparently things look good. Someone significant in the portal wouldn't stun me. I'll be stunned if Murphy returns, personally. 

Panama Red Bryant can go fuck himself.

Yes - Nahlin had an article today saying that a well known draft guy he talked with (guessing Matt Miller) has a Day 2 grade on Murphy. If Murphy is rated that high I’d have a tough time seeing him come back. 3rd round is still good money - including a million dollar signing bonus.

Yep.  Plus a 4 year deal (I think) so closer to a 2nd contract.

That's a good problem to have, more DTs in the league.

Kinda bittersweet getting your guys drafted early.

Overall a plus, getting players into the pros brings croots. 

Im happy to hear that Maalik is registering with draft guys. Personally, I'd like Maalik in burnt orange for as long as he wants to be here. Not many qb's these days have the balls and the attitude to hang around and want to learn while competing with names like Quinn and Arch when they legitimately have other P5 options.

And to think there are idiots on the football board arguing that Quinn wouldn't get drafted. Meanwhile Maalik has a third round grade. Checkmate, atheists.

 I don't want to spoil your fun, but here is how the next 8 months are going to play out. 

Maalik will end the season as the backup QB, but we will start hearing some buzz about Arch in the practices leading up to bowl week provided we miss the CFP. Once the season ends, Sark will say something to the effect of "This is Quinn's team heading into next season, but there is an open competition behind him to see who will be next man up." Maalik will most likely bypass the end of season portal window so that he can go into spring practice and compete for the job, although if he gets enticed into the portal in the early window it would not be the most surprising thing in the world. Commence more "Arch has closed the gap" buzz in the Spring followed by "Arch may be pulling ahead". At this point, if Sark hasn't done so already, he will sit Maalik down and tell him that because he loves and respects him and wants the best for him, he thinks his path to the field will be faster with another team. Maalik then enters transfer portal and is one of the biggest names in there, gets a nice NIL deal, and has 3 years to start for another P5 team. Fin.

I think Maalik enters the early portal regardless.

Not spoiling anything. I never expected to have all 3 of those guys going into 24. I'm just saying if it somehow happens, I'm cool with it.

Jimbo went on a rant about this in what turned out to be his final game week press conference. His main point was what you’re remembering: how can pff give grades when they don’t know each player’s assignment. He pointed multiple instances where pff graded their players higher when they had in fact blocked the wrong person etc

I love the idea of Jimbo ranting about several of his own guys getting undue praise.

If Jesus Christ came down from on high, walked into my office right now, and showed me the 3rd round grade for Maalik Murphy himself, I still wouldn't believe it. 

Standing offer for the board - I will take the opposite side of the bet for any amount of money you want to place on Maalik Murphy getting drafted in the 3rd round or higher in the 2024 NFL draft. I will keep this offer open up to the day of the draft, just let me know.

Given the demographics of the board, I think it would most appropriately be called a senior moment.

The best thing Maalik Murphy could have done for his portal stock this year was barely play. Sounds mean to say but his stock has to have taken a pretty good hit.

No way you can be a respectable P5 program and hand the keys over to him without competition after what he put on film.

Is this a bet that interests you, sir? Let's do this. Maalik Murphy couldn't pull off a sub 4.5 forty at the combine if they let him go for it on a dirt bike.

He's a RS Freshman who looked like a RS Freshman in the 2 games that he played. Bo Nix looked like shit in his 1st 2 games. Quinn looked like shit in the 2nd half of last season. Not saying Maalik is going to be Bo Nix or Ewers, he could be Swoopes V2, but it's damn premature to write off a dude this early.

I’m not writing the dude off. But there were rumors Florida was trying to lure him into the portal after the spring game. No way that level of program is banging on his door now.
