Is Florida actually flipping anyone? They struck out with Texas commits.

Shit. Forgot him. Are they flipping anyone that was committed to a team for more than 15 minutes?

They’ve flipped 5+ guys before today but recently and still have a few in play.  What point are you trying to make here?

    I’m not interested in getting political, but your description of circumstances can get immediately fucked. Negged for attempting to absurdly minimize the assassination attempt on a presidential candid

Texas doing great so I guess there's nothing else for you to whine bout at the moment? 👌

Obviously known but Bobby just confirmed that Hilson will not be a Longhorn and he knows where Hilson is going.

Michigan?

So many leaky vaginas over a random post saying he might flip.  

God this is a dumb fucking post. It was warranted based on DT recruiting from the whole year potentially going up in smoke at the 11th hour. Not only did CTJ mention to us that he had accepted USCs offer but I had heard it from other reliable sources as well. We just lucked out with someone stepping up behind the scenes. 
 

if you’re not gonna keep up with the highs and lows of the cycles try not to offer up a “I knew he was a longhorn the whole time” type bullshit.

Kern is a true freshman who didn't get to campus until July and played hurt.  Give him an off-season in the S&C program and he'll be much better next year.  His average this year was almost identical with Dickson his freshman year.

Agree with this, but also why not go get a decent punter from a small school in the portal who just wants a UT degree. Roster and scholly limits are gone and backups sometimes have to play

I’m thinking Syracuse for Hilson. He wrote an article yesterday that didn’t even mention Michigan or Missouri. 
Early PT is big for him and he’s got a good relationship with ERob. I dunno about freshman AA, but he thinks he needs 100 snaps a game to do it. 

Is anyone else laughing at the idea of Zion Williams signing with LSU, their class unraveling and rumors of a massive portal exodus, all after multiple shitty seasons in a row?  Or is that just me?  
Not our grapes, Gerry was high on him for a long time as a junior and I was always pretty meh. 
Signing Justice Terry instead would be a nice consolation package.

Why are you assuming its the latter, especially with regard to DT? "Enormous, fast, and mean" is pretty good fit for any scheme. 

I was actually commenting on the gruntlement with LB recruiting.  I love the fact that Sark is trying to recruit at a national level but heaven help him if he whiff on a Texas kid amongst this crowd. 🙄

To be clear, I'm not saying we shouldn't find a punter in the portal as a back-up plan.  Just saying that K is much more of a concern in my opinion.

lol. Wut? He literally visited USC 3 days ago. How could anyone look at that and NOT think he might flip? It wasn't just some random message board post.

Arch fucking Manning is starting next year. We're never punting.

What?  Scholarship limits may technically be gone soon, but they are being replaced with roster limits.

Haven't signed anyone in 15 minutes. It's over.  Fire everyone.

He has signed therefore he always was signed.

Just curious. They got a lot of buzz over the last week or two and I was curious if that was smoke or fire.

Are you the poster that keeps repeating this, and thereby implying Kern is going to be Dicko 2.0?  I don’t think we should be playing ANY freshman punter, ideally.

I was shouting this during the offseason. My dogs just looked at me curiously and my wife ignored me. Now every time we punt the ball I yell and throw things at them. 
if sark wasn’t a slap dick he’d just fix his dumb mistake by not having to punt the rest of the year.

Yep.  I wrote his name in Expo Marker this morning.  You're all welcome.

Hilson to Missouri

ou sux

Fuck him then.  Certainly hope he doesn't find himself staring blankly into the void while he waits in line at wings n' more mizzou version of sad wing place for a sad chicken sandwich covered in farmermizzou "show me" jizz.

Put him on the hit list for the Texas o-line, and remind him of the dumbfuck decision he made.

Hilson to Mizzou...allegedly. Whatever became of the DL from Houston Westside that left Texas and wound up at Mizzou?

They offered him over the top NIL last week. He then went and shopped it. Somewhere in there, Texas bowed out, agitating some folks by a great deal, but that shit happens every cycle.

Well with the new info that has come to light, we don’t play him next season in all likelihood. Beyond that, we will see. 

I still don't understand how they calculate the rankings. According to 247, Georgia has more commits than Texas, one more 5-star than Texas, five more 4 stars, and somehow we're still ranked higher? I love the optics of it, but I don't understand how that math works.

Where did he say that?  He said on the stream he wasn't going to Texas, but he explicitly declined to name the school.

Do you know, and can/will you share in relative terms what “over the top” means in this case?  As far as a % increase over the previous number?

They have 8 white dudes named Beauregard in their class

I think they only count the top 20 prospects of the class or something like that to prevent classes that sign sheer numbers from just gaming the system.

Not all 4 and 5 stars are equal.

Michael Terry and Rickey Stewart are both 4-stars in the composite for us. There are like 380 spots between them in the rankings.

Each commit has an actual value, so while the start system makes it look like all four stars are the same, the class ranking is based on the recruit's actual ranking value, which can vary quite a bit even within each star level.

I've been saying he'll be fine, but that was my first mention of MD.  

But not sure how pointing out that the pitchforks were also out for Dickson after his freshman year is the same as saying Kern will be Dickson 2.0.  It's called perspective which, granted, isn't a Surly virtue, but is important none-the-less.

That's a good point. I would think it is based on individual player's points, but I don't understand that math either if they have 5 more 4 stars than us.

No shit. Dude's always wrong then comes in with "something changed! Someone stepped up!" 9.95er bullshit. His doomsayer schtick worked during the 2010s Big 13 wasteland days, but he needs to change it up now. Just this cycle alone Brandon Harris was a disaster and in over his head, Kenny Baker was a no recruiting hack disaster of a DL coach, Gideon and Joseph were terrible, we were going to have no DT recruits, etc.

Here we are with one of the best DLs in the country, the best secondary in the country, the number 1 team in the nation heading into the SEC title game, and with the #1/2 recruiting class.

Some guys it hurts when you miss on them. Some guys exhibit such dipshittery in their decision making process you just sort of say “phew, dodged a bullet on that one”. 
this cycle the guys that qualify for the latter for me are Zion, Hilson and the fat Bellville kid that looks like a muffin on toothpicks. If that tackle stays with the Oklahoma freak show I will put him in that category as well.

This dude was committed to Bama, decommits, then commits to FSU, decommits, silently commits to Texas, then seemingly every school under the sun before landing at Mizzou for the highest bid. 
 

He literally wrote an article that posted yesterday that lists his top 5, claims he decided two days ago, and has no mention of Mizzou at all. Wonder how quickly he’ll be in the portal to head back to a Florida school.

Jordan Elliott. He’s one of the starting DTs on the Niners

If he’s looking to get boat raced, I’m glad he doesn’t think we’ll fit the bill.
