    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

Kid moved in from California. I am not sure about his hunting skills 

If from Northern California he had to actually learn how to track game and not snipe from a blind over feeders.

Lulz at “doesn’t have the right body type” when referring to a 6’7” 17 year old kid not nearly maxed out with a frame to hold 30-40 more lbs. Just say what you mean, it’s cuz he’s wyt 

Shit, I’m only 5-10 and my frame added 40 pounds no problem after high school.

They have some big money that’s desperate to see them win before they are gone.   There’s one billionaire who was in school there last time they won, and that’s all it takes to fund a big time bag game if they are ready and willing.  
Wow, they still have an aggy that was around for the last one?

Actually got the guys mixed up, both were alive then, the one in school died already.  
clear channel founder was alive but probably doesn’t remember them winning shit.

He just needs to gain 40-50 pounds of good weight to even play the position he was recruited for…. It’s a 50/50 shot he sees the field at Texas ever.   

So like most recruits he needs to add weight or cut bad weight? 

Got it. Shocking news that a HS recruit needs a college strength and conditioning program.

Why are people being so defensive about this; is it a Westlake thing? Odds are this guy isn't playing meaningful snaps here, and if he does, the same defensive posters will be over on the football board losing their fucking shit at every mistake he makes.

It's such classic recruiting board homerism to ratio a guy for daring to predict that a low three star we offered at the last fucking minute has a 50/50 shot to play here. You would think after having our teeth kicked in for 12 years a little skepticism would be allowed.

I have no clue if Burke will be a major contributor but it's also dumb as fuck to write a guy off because he has to add some weight. 80% of recruits need a college strength and conditioning program. 

That's why he's getting ratio'ed.

Yes, virtually every recruit needs a college strength and conditioning program. Some need a shit load more than others.

Yeah and Burke doesn't need 50 pounds either. Again, it's why he's getting ratio'ed.

Cross posting because it's relevant. TFB is saying Coleman is out. 

 

WR recruiting is too important for the class of 2023 to let him do any further damage.

Well they were also poorly coached. Dude's getting canned for overall performance.

I know it's you, but I genuinely don't get the whining about Coleman still being a coach when we're clearly waiting till after the 15th to make changes. If he's still employed a week from now I'll be with you but it makes no sense now. 

Fired a week after this post. Remarkable

Fwiw, Burke is at 601 in the composite, which is not a “low” three-star.

All I know is that I changed this thread title a few hours before Banks publicly committed. Things continue to get better and better with Coleman being told to go be mediocre somewhere else. 

I feel like I need to change the transfer portal thread title now in order to conjure some further dark magic to suit our needs and wants.

Something Krampus related for the time being. Should pair nicely.

A&M is an interesting football program that can recruit without coaches. Their history of championship football pre World War II sells itself. 

#55694

That’s absolutely huge. Henson has done well to avoid the cube takes that Jimbo wants and has really restocked the OL room there with some talent and good evals. Other than Robinson, he would have been the other staffer I wanted to see gone.

So basically, Coleman was a terrible recruiter, but made up for it by being a lousy coach?

Burke is a weird case as far as rankings. Skewed data set.

Flew totally under the radar until late this year, expected to play a different sport. Started stacking offers mid-season. The kid didn't even get ranked until December 3, 2021. He's a consensus 3-star, but On3 has him as 4-star. Gerry says he will be in an On3 top-150 player. Absolutely dominated in the playoffs, consistently. 

I wouldn't view him as 'just another 3-star' when making predictions about him.
