Pop quiz, hotshot. You have Roschon at QB, Zach Evans and Jordan Whittington split in backfield. Jake Smith, Bru McCoy and Marcus Washington at WR. Whittington goes out in motion. What do you do? What do you do?!

Fixed. Shoot the hostage.

Factors that should hopefully help with a crowded roster of skill positions: no LJH to get a guaranteed amount of touches and late-game blowouts getting redshirted players meaningful snaps.

Since USC classes started earlier than ours, I assume the add/drop period has ended? If not, I wonder if dropping all classes and unenrolling would be somewhat of a loophole around NCAA rules. At that point, he technically wouldn’t be a student for this semester, and no scholarship money would’ve been used.

I’m worried the NCAA won’t grant the waiver, but it would be a very athlete-friendly position to take if they do. It would fix a lot of the shadiness of getting kids to commit only to see their primary recruiter/coach leave. That’s been a problem for a long time, and although this may have been an unintended consequence of the rule, I think it’s a positive one. On the other hand, granting a waiver almost immediately after joining the team would make NLIs fairly meaningless, and it could create a whole other market for bagmen. I guess that could be negated if there was always a thorough review to ensure there hasn’t been any tampering, but it’s the NCAA so I don’t have a lot of confidence there.

Either way, it’s certainly going to be interesting.

It's definitely going to be interesting.  A lot of this is uncharted territory.

Factors that a committee might consider on Bru's side:

1. Coach Bro bailed only two days after Bru committed.  After his primary recruiter, Tee Martin, left, it looks like some promises were made that have been broken.
2. This is happening prior to NSD2.  If this was two years ago and he wasn't an early enrollee, Bru couldn't have even signed yet.
3. He hasn't even participated in spring practice.

Working with so many diehard USC alum is great. They don’t much care for my longhorn hoodie today or the flag on the door of my office. But it’s nice. Real nice 

#43958

I can't find it so think that USC director of player development guy (Gavin Morris) deleted the "sshhh" picture with Bru.

I'm not worried, no way NCAA going to let a team "rent-a-coach" just to get a player signed and not let said player go.  There already is backlash on coaches being able to come and go at will but locking players in. For the same reason USC granted full release from his NLI the NCAA will do the same... they don't want or need bad publicity from it.  Grant waiver and they get the "we're here for the athletes" good publicity.

#43960

It's not that uncharted.  This isn't the first year kids have been eligible to transfer it's just teams can no longer place restrictions on where they can transfer to.  NCAA waivers have been around so there's got to be some precedent on people being granted waivers due to coaching changes. 

#43961

Earlier in the recruiting process, I remember reading that Bru said Texas coaches told him they think he could play on both sides.  That he would mainly play offense, but they would have a role for him in obvious passing situations on defense to just go after the QB.

I hope this happens for two reasons:

1. Bru is an insane pass rusher

2. I am positive having a 5 star perform on both sides of the ball would be a big draw for future recruits.

3. Getting him on the field as much as possible will keep him happy. He won't get a ton of WR snaps with CJ ahead of him. Herman needs to do a better job this year at keeping redshirting players happy.

Do a better job blowing teams out and there will be plenty of snaps to around.

We need to start blowing some bitches out early in games and get some playing time for some of the younger players. 

Having game ready depth is important.

The only possibility that McCoy redshirts is if he isn't granted a waiver.  If he's eligible, he's playing every game.

On Twitter UT players seem to have acknowledged Bru coming to Texas and reports say he is coming here this weekend but any chance he visits with Tee Martin?

Don't see how there'd be any time for that, not to mention Tenn wasn't anywhere on his list of potential schools previously.

Right.  What I'm saying is I remember reading a quote from him about the possibility of playing both and him liking the idea.

I think the general idea is he's dead set on being a WR full time.  If we want to roll him in on situational pass rushing situations, fair enough, it's more time on the field without getting crazy.  But playing WR was always going to be the requirement.

All you do with the NCAA is hire a lawyer and threaten to sue.  They cave every single time.

I mean they had Manziel dead to fucking rights on selling autographs.  Should have been suspended a year minimum.  He lawyered up and told the NCAA to pound sand.  They settled on a half game suspension against Rice.

His dad also gave several quotes saying that he doubts he'd play both sides in college, because it would diminish his ability on his primary side. But we'll see.

A question about ncaa rules as it relates to Shepard. Given that he is a verbal commit, I believe the coaches are not allowed to say anything about him, right? If so, that might explain why Texas parting ways with him hasn’t made news, if they have. Shepard himself could be refusing to disclose his decommitment, leaving Texas with no easy way to disclose it. Is this possible?

Yes.  It's also possible that Texas would pull the offer after getting yanked around (but I don't think it will), but Shepard and FWK wouldn't acknowledge that in any tweet because they prefer to spin the narrative of him spurning Texas for aggy (or Bama or wherever the fuck he goes).

Doesn't smile with his eyes.  Pass.

Also his right bicep is clearly larger than his left.  That indicates unbalanced development...

Include Washington in that stud WR group.  He may end up being the best of the group..... maybe a Jerry Rice type WR. 🤘

Why would we do that? Do we have too many offensive linemen?

#43992

Hopefully Herman utilizes whittington the same way WVU used tavon Austin in 2011/2012. I’m really excited to see him play. Get him the ball in whatever way possible and watch him do his thing.

995rs are the ones that do those sort of “parting of ways” articles to get the word out without the school getting involved. But it doesn’t make sense to do it. Shepherd wants his singing day flip moment. Texas isn’t petty enough to ruin that. I’m sure by him not signing on NS1, Texas doesn’t consider him a commitment. I’m sure they are recruiting him though.

Exactly. agcheme knows what's coming.

I was thinking this morning:  There's not a position grouping on the field that I would swap UT's 2019 recruits with aggy's.  The closest one is TE, in my opinion, which is basically a push.  The next closest is DL, but two of aggy's DL commits are probably gonna get pushed out of the class because of qualification concerns.

Those dong drinkers in collie station feel their class is the best in the nation. When put up or shut up times comes, their excuses will be some for the ages.
