    That's funny, I've always thought the "Tell me about ...." threads were about Texas fans shit talking specifically about the subject school and not a thread on the Texas board for the fans of that sub

Looks like Tech is loosing their QB recuit McIver to KK and USC

Could definitely happen, but the jury is still out IMO.  Visiting USC this week end and supposed to meet with the new TT staff Monday I think it is.

For those of us that have spent time in Southern California and Lubbock, the choice is pretty easy.

I agree.  Very easy choice.  USC and Kliff will have to look elsewhere for a QB to sign

This is probably a Good Thing™ for them. A large proportion of Techsters can stand to have their heads strengthened and conditioned.

The first time I saw Texas play Texas Tech in person, Larry Issacs was playing for Tech and the starting running backs (of note) for the Horns were Roosevelt Leaks and Earl Campbell.  I believe Sherman Lee was also a starting linebacker that year for the Horns.

Nothing has changed since then, Lubbock is still Lubbock, Tech still has to fly all of its recruits in and out after dark and Tech fans will never change.  Always hopeful until the reality of 100 years sits in.  The Red Wannabe’s......as a whole, the most unsophisticated fan base in football....and they live in Lubbock. That’s like having Jerry Jones as a cellmate in hell.....

You seem like a giant pussy

Lubbock will always be Lubbock and it will always be located right in the middle of the South Plains with nothing (other than Midland, Abilene and Amarillo within 300 miles....that’s a tough sell to an inner city kid.  Probably the hardest sale in the state.....fly them in after dark

Absolute unfactual, bullshit.

Any number of TT coaches have proven by any objective measure that Lubbock can be recruited to very successfully.   The fly them in at night thing is completely absurd.  Tim Tadlock has been to to the CWS 3 times in the last 5 years and tied last year for the most MLB draftees in the country as an example.

You think he's doing that with smoke and mirrors?

Nothing quite like the recruiting game.  McIvor cancelled his USC visit this week end and will instead be in Lubbock.  His initial meeting with the new TT staff must have gone pretty well.

When people introduce their degree or speak to others about their degree, I remember what it was like  to be that young and impressionable.  So naive....

There's been some discussion off and on from UT sources about interest in Steven Parker.  

If we believe close family members, Maverick McIvor is a done deal to Tech.  Cancelled his USC visit last week end.  Keeyon Stuart forecast to re commit soon as well.

Mavrick is former UT QB Rick McIvor’s boy. He actually had an offer from SC months ago. Kliff landing there is probably the reason.

Yes. I have family in San Angelo. Have known the family for a while. He May end up at Tech after all the talk about USC. 

how good is McIvor  is he an upper level *** with some potential or should he be a **** , but he got injured and missed his senior year

Conflicting reports on the Tech radio station here in Lubbock this morning regarding McIvor. The local guys here answered a question from a fan about him and they said they didn't think he was recommitting. FWIW I don't know if they have any info or if it was just their gut feeling.

Truth.

My dad used to be a recruiting junkie.  He lived for NSD.  So I got into recruiting just to keep up with him.  But I had to stop because I got sick and tired of the roller coaster ride and my happiness dependent on the whims of 17 and 18 year olds.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong when it comes to recruiting, but I'd most likely be willing to bet a substantial sum of money on a recommit to TT.  Kind of funny, even his own grandmother announced it yesterday.

Might be official soon. OV to TT this week end after multiple unofficials.

McIvor cancelled last week's visit to USC.  Btw, McIvor had his USC offer long before Kliff was linked to USC.

Good post. Would read again. 

Former Tech WR Coach Emmett Jones new WR Coach at Kansas...

"Emmett Jones coached three years at South Oak Cliff as the head coach and also had stints as an assistant at Dallas Lincoln and Seagoville. And speaking of South Oak Cliff, current four-star defensive end recruit Steven Parker, who attends South Oak Cliff and was previously committed to Texas Tech, decomitted after it was announced Jones would not be retained. 

Parker has since picked up one Crystal Ball pick to Kansas, which was made shortly after Jones' hiring was announced." 

(TCU is probably still the favorite for Parker though....)

No, I think he's doing it with white guys. Tobacco chewing white guys who don't feel out of their element in Lubbock. Recruiting baseball and football are two entirely different things.

Lolz...I get what you're saying about missing the inner city kids, although I disagree to a certain extent. Virtually all of these guys who were drafted are from the 'burbs or bigger single high school towns.  Those hometowns are not that different than those of most good football schools. In hoops, Zhaire Smith was from Laveview Centennial in Garland and Jarret Culver is from Lubbock.  Patrick Mahomes II was from that football powerhouse of Whitehouse, TX. Our current football roster does have its share of guys from Skyline, Houston Lamar, Aldine Ike, Etc, etc.

Dylan Dusek wins a close battle over Jose Quezada in the hot mom / hot sister combo competition.  They may rank 1 and 2 in the entire Big 12

Utter nonsense.  When it comes to college baseball, virtually everyone in the entire country, including UT, does it primarily with white guys. And have you seen the TT basketball team play a game?

Most certainly there are nuances that differ in recruiting varying sports.  In the final analysis though, they're the same--you've got to get them to go to your school as opposed to another.

Got any more absurd stereotypes?  It's fun playing make believe.

Are the recruiting rankings an absurd stereotype? Quick google-fu shows Tech above only KU. Is that the nuance you are looking for?

Not an absurd stereotype, but virtually everyone would agree it's an inexact science to be sure.

That really doesn't matter though as you're really over thinking this. My original point was there are multiple coaches who have demonstrated it's clearly possible to recruit to Lubbock. Even cited examples.

The football program has had six years of being headed by an awful recruiter, then faced with a coaching change only days before the early signing period.  And you want to blame their less than stellar ranking purely on location?  

If it was purely location, it would be across the board and Beard, Tadlock, Kittley, etc. woudn't be able to recruit either.  You're trying way too hard.

I watched Rick McIvor play his bi-district game his senior year in high school at Ft Stockton. He was amazing. Not sure what he had been doing since then other than being the Jeff Davis County Sheriff.  His started at Ft Davis and then transferred to San Angelo for his junior and senior year. Seen him play twice and he is  GOOD. Not as stout as his dad, but a wicked quick release and  quite accurate - I bet he fits well in Lubbock
