Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

Featured Replies

I don’t understand all the surprise on this thread. Recruiting has been going terribly for two months. We have a team under five hundred. Our in state rival has been paying players for the last several years and has ramped it up even further this year.

Harris, Stewart and just about every other top prospect has been moving away from Texas over the last several weeks as a result. If there should be any disappointment it’s that few solid second choices have emerged at key positions. I’m holding out hope that this supposed influx of OL is going to happen but I’m frankly suspicious about that as well. No one should be surprised about the loss of top players. 

I think part of the outrage is that Aggy continues to surprise in the successful direction even more despite their losses. Like I haven’t expected Harris for a while but I sure didn’t expect aggy after all the hate he’s blatantly showed them and after going 8-4

    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,

Genuinely shocked that so many of you who spend hours daily in this thread still thought we had a shot at Denver Harris.

They went 8-4 in an underachieving year. They should have no momentum.

Then guys like Harris and Stewart had no interest in aggy until recently. If people can’t connect the dots on what’s happening here they’re lost.

As I said above I think the outrage is more about it being aggy out of nowhere, like Stewart

Seems what we need to be crowdsourcing is some Midol. A little patience, guys.

We know what’s happening. I personally just thought there was a limit to how many times it can happen in one class. Their bag seems to be unlimited

I figured it was Bama, not surprised it wasn’t us at all.

It appears as though:

Sark can’t recruit

milwee can’t recruit

coleman can’t recruit

choate cant recruit

Joseph can’t recruit

 

not great.

Pull yourselves together you fucking pussies. You’re embarrassing yourselves, and more importantly all of us by association. Get it together. Whining About our own recruits trolling us? The fuck.
 

if Harris chose bama there wouldn’t be a sliver of this level of melt. So Harris goes to aTm. So does Stewart. They’ll Transfer in a year.  All that matters is a our coaching changes, the purge, and what we can grab via portal and close to the class. It’s going to be an underwhelming class. Let’s see how it finishes in key positions. Fuck.

There’s enough mood swings in here to make Jacques Cousteau seasick.  Nothing has really changed. We already knew the reasons certain blue chips weren’t going to come here. It’s a going to be a 3 year build whether we like it or not, so either find some patience or distract yourself with men’s basketball, pron, or both.

You can't be serious. There's no way you've missed my bet offer when I've tagged you so many times. 

As much as you hype aggy, put your money where your mouth is. The bet was $100 for aggy to go 9-3 or worse next year. You win the bet if they finish better than 9-3. You were the one hyping them to go 11-1 this year so don't be a pussy. Take the bet.

Yeah, pretty sure he would have been in high school when those were sent. Shocking a 17 year old may have saying offensive shit.

Also, whoever runs that SMU account is a lunatic and likely an adult.

You assumed correctly

Kids wanna win more than playing. Most any of these kids. Can show up and start day 1 on the Texas roster. But instead they will go to a winning school with 10 dudes ahead of them. Not shocking. Playing time matters to very few

Honest question - is expecting Harris and Stewart to transfer after a year in CS a reality, or wishful thinking?  A lot of people were/are under the impression that Demas was portal-bound, but no word out there yet. Has aggy had a lot of attrition from higher rated roster players recently?

Despite myself being one of the thread bitches today, I agree with this. Harris and Stewart won’t make or break us. We need a QB, an OL, a culture purge and actual player development. IF we do that we start winning 9+ games. Do that and combined with NIL the croots will come.

Although I’m not so sure those guys will transfer. Idk how aggy does it but they seem to have a hold on Demas somehow which was a similar situation.

I think that's wishful thinking.

Is it a certainty? No? Is it a possibility? Sure. They’ve had lots of portalling, and they’re losing a fuck ton to graduation and the draft and don’t have a QB worth shit. They have a lot of talent but next year doesn’t immediately look like an improvement on 8-4. Once NIL stuff roles out, and these guys have better paying options after a secured bag, and are on a team that doesn’t seem special, you think they’re sitting around? Ask Shadrach Banks how he liked it there.

I don’y want to get into CR personal opinions either way but I wouldn’t be shocked if he lost his job over this. I doubt it, but wouldn’t be shocked. 

Again, no CR, just the world we’re in practically speaking.

CTJ has said very recently that he still thinks we will get a few players in the end that will be better than we would/should expect. 

While it is true that I've been optimistic about closing on some key guys magically around signing day, it's hard to stay positive for this class when it's not truly clear that the staff is capable of doing what needs to be done for any of these recruits. As bad as I believe the Sarkisian hire is, if they can't recruit and run a decent bag game while everyone around them is, then it's possibly worse for the program than late stage Mack Brown or the Chuckles Era.

I hope he’s right but damn it’s hard to see that happening right now. Not sure we even have 5 big targets left at this point do we? I mean it’s basically just the OLs and Law assuming Harris is out. 
edit: I guess Perkins too but yeah right 

I spoke to a friend tonight that sounded as despondent for the program as he can get, and he is in the business. My hope is that it brightens up by SD1. I can say that the fans and alumni are doing their parts, at least.

Y’all are the most bipolar bunch of bitches on the planet. We announce a fucking game changer in NIL and y’all are losing your minds because a guy who has not been coming here for MONTHS….still isn’t coming here? Guf. Faw.

I'm kind of checked out on the 22 stuff in terms of keeping in contact with info guys. I only ask them stuff when I need it and I dont need anything for 22, and 23 really hasnt started yet for me. CTJ, SC, and RGB talk to a lot of the same guys I do, but they keep up with them more often I'd imagine. They'd be more up to date then me. 

I do hear a ton of rumors from some $$$ guys but the info isnt that great. This thread is more accurate. I also seem to get sworn to secrecy on stuff that I come to find out is already on the boards, most likely bc it comes straight from 9.95 guys. That happened today except the mod was sort of coy about it. Hasnt made it over here I guess but its not worth mentioning yet. Likely just another rumor. 

So did Hayes Fawcett actually troll everyone with his IG live comment about Texas news? Isn’t he part of On3 now?

It’s made the rounds. But it needs to stay off here because there isn’t any sense sharing possible good news until it’s official with this crowd.

Everyone can connect the dots, that’s precisely why they’re bummed out.

If us not getting Harris is news to anyone you need a new hobby.

Just to be clear, it’s a rumor. And Rhule and Brady was a rumor out there earlier that had a lot of smoke but by all accounts was just a smokescreen. So nothing is certain, everyone gets what they paid for here…

I’m worried about the Burnt Ends program once the NIL stuff gets started. I don’t think we should have both. Assuming Burnt Ends keeps growing like it should we’re going to be looking at 4-5 million dollars a year. That’s means every TE is going to be making 7figs which means that every player will want to be a TE. All the WRs will start bulking up and half the defense will be trying to learn to catch. We’ll have 20 TEs in the good damn roster. Better to let everyone get paid equally from the new NIL than destroy the locker room with constant TE fights.

Everyone can't connect the dots. I keep seeing people refer to winning, Kansas, and other bullshit rationalization as the reason Texas is losing recruits when aggy just lost to an ass LSU team to finish 8-4. 

There are some that can't connect the dots.

Tagged? I don't see anything from you in my notifications besides rude reactions to my posts. 

I'm down for '23. '22 they lose their entire dline and possibly their DC so I'm not comfortable making that bet until I see how that shakes out. If you want we can make a bet on the bowl game if you want to parlay a little earlier and get some funds in the new NIL initiative.
