TXHSFB Coaches: "this guy's doing things the right way! great relationship with him! really love what he's doing!"

also TXHSFB Coaches: *send all their prospects to fucking Oregon and Ohio State*

Unfortunately, HS coaches aren't as involved in the recruiting process with kids like they once were in a lot of cases. Majority of stuff goes through handlers, uncles, trainers nowadays. 

You rarely hear of any high school coaches telling their kids "Hey, you may want to give Texas a closer look." Using them to gather information on a kid is nice and I'm sure they have insight into the real decision makers, but the coaches themselves have pretty much no sway.

    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

At least give him a C++ !!

 

Y'all are both wrong. C only had 

/* foo bar */

style comments. C++ introduced 

// foo bar

style comments.

And if it were C++, he'd use 

delete

instead of 

free()

Nowadays gcc and clang will recognize // in C as well as C++.

But they can sure as shit make sure their kids don’t go to Texas. That’s all we’re looking for.

Harris on Bledsoe:

It's an unfortunate situation. He moved back to be with family that could help him get back on track academically (which they did) and now he can't play. I feel for him.

Tell that to North Shore. They've been steering kids away from us (and occasionally A&M) for years...

Wait so Bledsoe is ineligible because of moving schools or because of his grades? Sounds like the former, but if the latter, can't imagine him qualifying at UT..

Sooo.... anyone live near Marlin and want to take a couple standardized tests and write a few essays this year?

Marlin's standing with TEA isn't exactly going to help in all of this. We've seen far less impactful shit hold up the NCAA clearinghouse.

I'm fully supportive of just continuing to recruit all the studs until the end. Crazy things happen all the time.

They're going to be offering MPH from game tapes on HS recruits, which will probably cause many of you dorks to lose your shit in evaluation nirvana if they're going to be making that kind of info public.

I'm already getting excited about spewing negativity over junior OL prospects for only running 16 mph.

I guess it’s not super surprising that the coach who was known to be a witchy recruiter and got hit with recruiting sanctions turns out to be a good recruiter.

aggys biggest selling point is just to tell recruits...."you don't have to be smart to come here"....just may be working a little.

There's a lot of binary discussions peripheral to this thread that make it very hard to compile. If the object of our recruiting intentions is oriented toward Sarkisian's program, then Bo Davis's language is adequate. Can I ascii question regarding Evan Stewart? What's the surly consensus about where he ultimately lands?

I sat a couple of tables away from aggy at lunch today. They all agreed that it was damn near impossible for their aggy offspring to ever flunk out. It was a point of pride

Aggie is so scared that Texas is going to finally get a good coaching staff and rise from it's sleep...They can feel what's coming when both OU and Texas are in the SEC...They know it is just a matter of time now that both of their big brothers will be a big pain in the ass for them...

This is all I have seen on Twitter. It is well after the game has started so I assume he doesn’t mean active for the game.
