October 20, 20187 yr So Steele allegedly took improper benefits from USC recruiting "journalists". Hamm and his ilk are bagmen with money, comped videos, and payoffs to trainers to increase their web traffic and to steer recruits. NCAA sucks hind teat.

Baylor attempted to game avoiding NCAA violations with Devin Duvernay by simply never sending him an LOI after seeing him perform more than is allowed. Hence when they “released” players from their LOI because of the Briles scandal, his name wasn’t on the list. Can’t release someone who never was officially caught in the first place. Regarding Steele, I’m going to guess very few schools will actually touch this guy if there’s anything to the allegations, whether Newy25 thinks they’re all pussies or not. Whatever the case, fuck that guy and I hope he blows wherever he goes. He’s a lying bitch. It is becoming clear to me I am a very small minority in my opinion. Like, a one person minority. Just like the time I thought my ex wife was not a lying, cheating whore. Perhaps I should listen to the majority on Steele.

Roy Williams is active in the Odessa area and very pro Texas, bit the allure of going to the local school that throws it 70 times a game can be enticing. Also, the Powell family is well known for some great athletes over the years.

Was listening to Dan Patrick show this morning while driving to Dallas and he was saying in basketball the method of payment is an offshore account and recruits get a debit card. Anyone know if that's common in football?

Opening day NFL rosters had more TT WRs than any school in the country. That means a lot to some kids.

October 20, 20187 yr The IT guys are pretty adamant this is not happening. It sounds like from everything people are repeating/reporting here, Brooks to Texas is not going to happen.

I don't think he is your standard "bad character." I am not condoning whatever he might have done in HS, but he might be a bad example.

October 20, 20187 yr The problem is that 247 and TFB are stoking the flames by leaving the possibility open (by omission) that we would take him. At least the IT mods have the sense to know we aren't going down that road.

I think the underrated part of Herman's recruiting so far is the mental evaluation aspect. It's only been a year and half but have we lost a single Herman recruit yet to attrition? Granted, Toneil Carter might be on the way out but we're still batting way above average so far with attrition. Herman's selective approach to recruiting has been effective so far.

October 20, 20187 yr Tyler Owens reminds me of watching Eric Dickerson in high school, just a beast among boys. Too big, too fast, too strong. He is a heat-seeking Torquemada.

You follow these boards and we’ve been pretty straight on it for a fucking year. That’s on you.
