2017 Recruiting Thread Part 1

[Randolph Duke]

They wanted him. It's just going to be Utah.

When was the last time Texas lost a recruiting battle to Utah?

Doing good Shotime.  Just counting down the days until spring ball.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Great news, TCU 247 is saying Graham cancelled his OU visit this weekend. Props to Mike and Daniel for calling this as a possibility earlier in the week.

Chaisson had his in-home with LSU this morning.

Burton said this morning he still plans "potentially" on taking the visit. EJ is checking on it. OB and IT have not said anything yet.

2017 OL -- is this Newton's Law of Motion again?

That's a big tv on the wall! Can you name the movie playing?

 

[HOOKEM85]

Agree! I just want to get passed the 2017 class with what we already have and focus on the team and winning. 2018 recruiting will take care of itself with improved product on the field. Crap, that looks like the crap I wrote last year.

At this point, I just hope we get Chaisson & Graham and call it a wrap for the 2017 season.

Old School?

Copy and pasting information from behind pay walls of other sites has always been a no no in my experiences on message boards.

....

I cant remember when you started here, but in the beginning here, it was a no no.

But then later, I was specifically told not to worry about it.  That's why I asked you if the policy had changed.

I do usually take the time to pull the player quotes and change the font.  I have never agreed with the idea that the paysites have copyright protection over what other people say.

With this recent Nahlin quote on Chaisson, I did just plop down the full thing since some folks here were wondering what exactly was said about the possibility we were going to lose our top ranked recruit.

I would like some clarity on this. Your reply above was too general and broad.  Otherwise, it will just be an ongoing issue.

Is it the Freddie Steinmark movie?

 

[TexCoyote]

Should we be on any commitment watch this weekend? Or are we through until NSD?

[Oldmanastro]

Old School?

Correct! "You're my boy blue!!"

 

[Juan]

Correct! "You're my boy blue!!"

Not sure. I would be more concerned about this if Texas didn't have any guys committed capable of playing corner.

Burton agrees the Cosmi offer may have "a sense of desperation" to it.   But he thinks it has more to do with the "numbers overall," than it does with Zabie.  He says he likes the tape.

We will see ......

A little bit of Cosmi vs. Chaisson here

I'm going to have a discussion with Aaron specifically about it and it will get addressed.

I know you may not agree with policies of the pay sites, but it is what it is and if something gets mentioned to us about it we have to pass it on to you guys so we can get it resolved.

Bottom line: Don't copy and paste information from behind pay walls to the board and you are fine. You can discuss what is being posted elsewhere and even paraphrase what's being said, but copying and pasting chunks of entire articles is out of bounds.

We appreciate you pulling in so much and patrolling social media for stuff, but there are boundaries that we like to try to respect when it comes to other people's work that people have to purchase subs to read.
