    Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

    I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Selling cars with an OU degree?  No, they will be charging batteries, changing oil and detailing.

Is Jake langi actually improving our chances of landing any of these Polynesian players?

Didn’t think so…. Def not pulling his weight 

He's a recruiting staffer. Without him we're probably not in for these guys in the first place.

Langi actually does help out a lot with the poly’s. He’s not going to close on them, but he helps a lot

Lol what do you think lower level staffers do? His job is to set the table for the coaches.

Hit rate seems very low on these guys if you aren’t usc, nd or Utah. Time and effort would be better served elsewhere.

He’s currently 0’fer.  I am trying to understand why we waste time on these kids with  his “strong Polynesian” ties and none ever come to Austin. Makes no sense

Maybe we should stop recruiting players outside the state of Texas since the hit rate is low with any subgroup of OOS players you choose.

I’m not mad that we go after these guys but we talk about langi as much or more than any other staffer and he’s done nothing but eat on the OV and turn down the A/C.

Who is "we"? EJ Holland had a bit where he talked about Polynesian ties in every recruiting article he did but otherwise he barely gets the exposure that Brandon Harris does or Carrington did.

If you interpret him being active on social media as a sign of him being a lynchpin of our recruiting operations, that's on you.

This is such a strange thing to get fixated on. Having a large, competent staff of on-field assistants + staffers means you can expend effort into many recruitments at once, even the semi-longshots. It's especially strange when you consider that we probably have more irons in the fire at linebacker than any other position.

And Poly kids are naturally going to be mostly out of state. He's going to have a lower hit rate than other guys.

Well we lost the Bishop Alemeny Notre Dame dude?  OK.  Go watch Jeremy Patton's junior hudl.  If Jeremy commits to us after visiting Baylor this week, I will be very gruntled.

I think the problem with these Polynesian recruits is that Langi isn't taking them out for an authentic luau. My man, you need a reservation to get into Hula Hut.

I guess marquee letters are all the rage on recruiting visits now. We need to set up one of those virtual Unreal Engine greenscreen sets like for the Mandalorian for our photo ops now. I'm only half-joking.

If always thought they should invest in a steadicam and create gifs for recruits.

Glad to know there’s a younger brother.  That kid has some high expectations.

Mike Baab over at Covert doesn't find this amusing.

he has a UT offer

I knew the middle one had an offer.  I was talking about the one who looks 12.

That little guy in the #3 jersey does not hold an offer, nor is he 5’10”.  And I realize I edited my previous post.  I just like when there is the potential for 8-10 years of good DB play out of one family.

I legitimately didn't even see the kid in the #3 jersey. 🤣
