    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

On3 notes on Harold Perkins

"From me, Texas is out. Texas A&M in-home last night was said to have not gone well."

  Hide contents

Cypress (Texas) Cy Park five-star linebacker Harold Perkins is the biggest fish left in the 2022 recruiting pool, and three teams are doing all they can to land the recruit.

On3’s Gerry Hamilton reports that Perkins’ decision will likely come down to Florida and LSU with Texas A&M considered a “long shot” and fellow in-state school Texas out of the equation.

This comes less than 24 hours after Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher and other members of the Texas A&M defensive staff made an in-home visit Wednesday to see Perkins.

Perkins committed to Texas A&M earlier this month at the Under Armour All-American Game. But he said his recruitment would not be over the announcement and it wasn’t.

Florida immediately jumped into the mix and hosted Perkins on an official visit last weekend. And as reported by Corey Bender and confirmed by Hamilton, Billy Napier and other members of the coaching staff are conducting an in-home visit today.

Perkins is also scheduled to visit LSU this weekend, and Hamilton says a big part of the visit will be meeting with new defensive coordinator Matt House. House, who is the linebackers coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and still coaching the team in the playoffs, is coming to help pitch Perkins on the school.

For whichever team lands Perkins, they are getting an impact player on and off the field.

He is the No. 7 overall recruit and No. 1 linebacker in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

His On3 NIL Valuation is currently $65,000. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time. 

 

Setting up for another head to head win over Texas.

So Perkins does a live national announcement to basically say he’s committed but still open.  Has anyone else done that?  Sheesh

Is he really trying to make the argument that our "media" wouldn't run the same story if it was detrimental to Texas?  Do you even Chip Brown bro?  Stories don't even have to be true for the Texas "media" to run them.  That is before assholes like Kirk Bohls votes for someone not named Vince Young for Heisman.

Just the way Jimbo likes it....

"Humiliate me in public Perkins and I will make sure you get paid!"

I thought Jimbo had already used his in home before the first commitment.  hmmm

I’m not really a big IT guy, but I’ll say they’re probably the only site that actually roots for Texas and that matters to me.  Guys like chip and ketch don’t care at best and probably hate Texas

He likes that someone came to his defense for being called out as lazy and mailing it in already, when in fact he has been lazy and mailing it in. You keep being you, Evan.

Too lazy to even come to his own defense

Hope these PWOs are good considering they’re each going to end up starting like 25 games for us. 

Do PWOs usually get one year as a PWO and then they either:

1) Earn a scholarship…

…or…

2) Drop down to ordinary Walk On status and can enjoy getting help being admitted into UT while being a tackling dummy or just play school full-time, because another 20 PWOs are coming in next year

Are there guys that stay PWOs for 2 to 4 years?

PWO just means you get help getting in and are guaranteed a spot in the program. After that, you're a walk-on like any other, with an equal shot at making the gameday roster and getting on the field.

So, athletics' qualification instead of general student body qualification in return for being scout team?

PWOs can also train with the team all summer. 

Non-PWOs purportedly have to wait until fall camp begins. Also access to athletes’ dining hall is permitted for PWOs, but not for the others… and some other random perks like that.*
 

*My understanding from past message board reading. 🤷‍♂️

PWO just means Crystal Ball. 

Where do I send my $9.95?

I just pulled it off of reading blurbs like this: https://usatodayhss.com/2018/ncsa-what-is-a-preferred-walk-on

But I wouldn't be surprised if there were additional perks.

PWO means they are invited to walk on and the staff will give them priority over other walk-ons if roster numbers get tight and they have to move some to the basement with their red swingline staplers.

Each program can do things a little differently, but yeah.

He must really want to go to Texas, because he can play. 

of course he does. we’re texas. 

You can carry 105 players on the roster in the offseason. PWO is an assurance that you’re one of those 105 and with the program year round

Now PWO specific, but the main reasons guys walk on are as follows..

1. They think they have the right stuff to make the 3 deep or even start, and as we've seen time and again, this isn't totally delusional

2. The thrill of just being around the program and some (not all) the perks that come with that..including running out of the tunnel wearing a Longhorns uniform for some home games.

3. Looks good on a resume..especially if combined with a non athlete typical major.

I can't wait for the PWO NIL. No difference between that and the old Nebraska system.

Me too and I don’t understand why we’re not hearing about this kind of thing more.  
 

If I’m Saban I’m actually using my 85 scholarships on my worst 85 and letting the higher profile folks pay their way with NIL money.

That's what they are doing at BYU. Every walk on is getting their school paid for.

If we don't become a playoff contender with NIL shit then it's probably never happening.

Yup this was one of the first major NIL announcements after the ruling.

What makes you think the higher profile players want to spend their money on school?

Do the walk ons or scout team guys GPA count toward the average.  Could see a utility for getting some aerospace/chemical engineering/plan ii type walk ons.

If they're on the roster, sure. There is no rule that says only scholly players count.
