    FYI - just cross-posting a really nice story.     Embedded tweet w/ anecdote.

    13,000 posts on surlyhorns.com is the hallmark of a guy who's just too busy to tune into commitment ceremonies.

Still tagging @jakelangi in his Tweet. Perhaps that helps us, even if he isn't on staff anymore.

Welp, it's official. Saban has lost it.

As seen above, we had been recruiting Julian hard and he was definitely reciprocating the love. Guessing he doesn't want to come in a year after Lacey

 

Guess we’ll take Andrew Luck and miss out on Gale Gilbert’s kid (probably not at all similar, but more provocative than banality of “bird in the hand”)

Dropping a top 8 before your sophomore year of high school seems a bit premature.

Who knows what the landscape will look like in 2 years, but there's a chance that 3 or 4 schools in his top 8 have new coaches by the time 2026 rolls around. If we don't have a 2026 or 2027 target in a couple years and for some reason Lacey doesn't look like he's going to be the answer, but we're coming off a couple of 10-win seasons, I'm sure we can find a way back into this recruitment.

QBs tend to shut down their recruitments a lot earlier than other position groups in order to try to be the class bellcow, so it does make somewhat more sense.

Sure. But I also remember Dylan Raiola committing to Ohio State after his sophomore season, and then a year later committing to Georgia.

He’s committed to USC
It would be interesting to know what percentage of recruits who commit before their junior season actually sign with their original school? I'd guess the odds aren't great unless they're a legacy who always dreamed of playing for dad's school.

I'd imagine QB is the exception

There are "he's going to reclassify" comments under his commitment tweet

I'm pretty young myself, but seeing kids named after LeBron are high school aged and being recruited is crazy. Jesus.

I remember thinking the exact same thing about 8 years ago when there were suddenly several Shaquilles littered across the college football landscape.

How crazy is this ...

- a 2026 QB named Quinn Murphy.

- from Austin, Texas.

He has profiles on 247 and On3, so it's not someone pulling a Gotch Yarbrough?

Yeah, someone with the first name Quinn and last name Murphy seems like a super, super unlikely combo. Next thing you’ll tell me there’s a Sean Miller or a Kevin O’Donnell. Maybe a Paddy O’Neil knocking around.

The combo isn't unlikely.

What is - super, super unlikely - is a recruit

- from the same town

- who plays the same position

- as two players at the local school, one a starter with that recruit's first name, another his backup with the recruit's last name.

That's the point.

Everyone understod the point. But no one found it nearly as remarkable as you. Certainly not enough for a super serious follow up after any surlyite did a drive by assholish comment.
