But I’m not sure you’ve been keepin up with current events but we just got our asses kicked going 5-7. Not sure why you’re surprised there is so much panic.

 

There was panic in July and August because Texas would never figure out NIL and Jimbo wouldn't allow us to have any recruits.

    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

New fantasy football team name. I thank you.

Take it FWIW, but a poster on the SEC Rant recruiting thread claims to be in the coaching circles in the Houston area and is saying Banks to Texas and Dewberry to aggy.

I would certainly take this tradeoff.

But that has nothing to do with these recruiting reactions and doesn't explain why some of the same posters will put a recruit in the calculator 5 minutes before saying we have no chance anymore because he will allow another coach to visit him. 

I mean the food talk is actually on a higher intellectual plane than the reactions to recruiting updates.

He likely got it from here when it was posted yesterday

I’ll never be in a position to confidently declare that we should not take a player. With Redd, I can at least see some logic behind taking him despite the .83 composite- that being he is being projected at a position he did not play, plus played both ways and there will be more variance in players like that.  Usually means he’s one of the better athletes on his team, which is good. 
 

so not full on celebrating his impending commitment, but very much in wait and see. It’s also going to be a data point on the staff and its ability to evaluate.

We seldom recruit outside of the top ten unless we fire a coach, and people still think there is some outcome where we don't sign a solid class. 

Have you considered our top 10 classes aren’t top 10 classes and maybe would be reflected as such if we were a school with a lesser pedigree?

On3 was informed that Miami head coach Mario Cristobal is either in Houston, or headed to Houston to make an in-home visit with On3 Consensus 5-star OT Kelvin Banks (Humble, Texas/Summer Creek) today or tonight after the Houston Touchdown Club Awards banquet.

1. That shows you just how good Cristobal believes Banks is.

2. Banks has one official visit remaining, so you know Cristobal is trying to get him to Coral Gables this weekend.

3. We will keep you updated.

 

Also, Clemson was by Summer Creek this morning to make a last ditch recruiting pitch.

Alabama is stopping by to do the same.

Those schools are trying to get Banks to push back to February.

5-star left tackles are true recruiting wars, obviously.

You're making an entirely different point. We're successful at getting highly rated players, that other schools want, to sign at Texas. Recruiting. The quality of our evals and developmental track record is a different discussion. Our track record suggests we could also sign the other "actually good players" you seem to be talking about.

Woah woah woah, I was told there would not be any big words on this forum.

That’s what Liucci tweeted a day or two ago. Called it a “win-win.”

Can Billy please do some more advertising for us regarding how much we're paying players? $4 million!!! Say it louder, Chin Pubes. Make sure the OL and WR recruits can hear it too, por favor. Please tell Harris and Perkins also.

Our booster trying to stack our roster, by any means necessary, is the best thing I've heard in years.

Yes, he should feel free to add a 0 every time he retells the story.

Texas desperately throwing cash around. LOL like the whole country can’t see what A&M is doing. Even if we are finally playing the game, what a clown thing for an Aggy insider to say when he knows exactly what they’ve been doing.

No shit. He's so used to operating under the need to keep big amounts quiet so as not to piss off the other recruits whose bags weren't as big that he has no idea how to handle Texas boosters and local businesses making legal payments to players. 

Tweeting bullshit huge numbers about Texas recruits isn't going to hurt us, it will help us but he's way too stupid to figure that out on his own. Someone on the A&M staff will have to explain that to him.

Um, the A&M recruits aren’t getting paid under the table or getting bags.  They chose that school because of A&M’s great school spirit and the wonderful students and the great location and the dominant 8-4 season they just had.  It’s quite obvious isn’t it?

Does he really think that calling out our desperation to be a respected & ass kicking fb program is an insult?

All this while they post 8&4 with the best team they've fielded in a very long time & while illegally spending more than ever.

He says all of that while never having batted an eye when A&M got a commitment from a 5 star Florida DL out of the blue on Monday

And the fact that it is your enemy stating it.

Every day for the last 150 years: "those t-sippers don't care about football, come to aggyland if you want to see a fanbase that lives and breathes football whoooooop"

Today: "hahahaha those t-sippers want to win.  how desperate!!!"

he says desperate like it's a bad thing.  yes, i'm desperate.  100%.  for a winning football team.  is he not desperate after winning the toughest game on their schedule and still going 8-4 and going to the weedeater bowl?

the collective desperation of the longhorn fanbase has led to burnt ends, horns with hope, and all other nil deals.  i hope everyone is as desperate as i am and continues to be until we get back to the mountain top.

recruits are not hot chicks.  they don't care about desperate.  it's not a turn-off.  they want money and they want to win.  we've got one, now let's do the other.

desperate like a fucking fox.

Yeah, need someone semi-reputable (have to find someone) to respond to him with. .." well what did you expect if they are paying OL $2M and WR $1M of course they are going to pay a QB 4$M."

Aggies change the subject when they're beat. 

We're rich as hell! Richer than everybody! Whoop!

Texas sets up a process that dwarfs anything they can do.

We're the richest program under God!Texas is desperate! We're not because we beat 'Bama and finished number 4 last year.They lost to Kansas! Everybody laughs at how desperate they are!

Naturally, for them, they can forget about how desperate they were to lay that contract on Jimbo. 

I would say determined more than desperate. The shrill outcry and then denial of same when we were invited to the SEC seems more desperate to me.

You forgot to mention the racial unity and equality on the campus.

Good thing we aren't that desperate enough to give a $95M guaranteed contract to a coach who basically has the same 4 year record as the coach they just fired. 

Fuck off, chinpubes, you dumb fuck. Get some fucking self awareness of how shitty you and aggy historically are.

Ultimate cock block attempt: 

"Hey super hot chick!  You don't want to be with that Elon Musk guy.   He throws money around like crazy.  Is known to take his girls out on expensive trips in expensive private jets.  Gives them ridiculously expensive gifts too!   He is soooooooo desperate.   I am embarrassed for him."

If I ever see this ugly aggy POS in public, I’ll need a shaggy lawyer for punching his dumbass out.  Probably even sucker-punch him just for the fun of it. 

You can hear the anger in chin pubes posts. That’s the good stuff.
