2024 Recruiting Board/Thread

TFloss32 anyone confused yet? No not if you can understand guru's doubletalk.

Who is saying some one iscommiting today? No one to my knowledge.

Most statements byguru's are not a statement one can pin down

Some one is commiting today.With over a 100 schools and more recruitsthis is proablly atrue statement.

Black commiting to Texas A statement easy to prove oneway or another. But a type of statement seldom seen. Why I take most recruiting experts words with a grain of salt. Espically in todays world.

On the other hand it'stheir job so they give what the subscribers want.
You're over thinking it. IT was reporting that there was a player announcing today. He already told the Texas staff and the schools that he is not choosing. In the middle of their podcast, Bobby got a text that told him that the commitment was pushed back a day. So now 3 commits tomorrow. No double talk, just a change of plans.

Those two will pop for Texas tomorrow.

IT was alluding to 2 different commits happening today. At least one of those they are now saying it'll be over the next few days as they work out announcement logistics.
JJR moved up his commitment. Is it because tOSU told him not visit Texas and it soured the relationship? Or could he be following through on his silent to tOSU and doing it earlier to placate them? As you can tell I'm a worry wart.

 
Some have said today there is another to come out in JUNE. That means it would have to happen in the next few hours.

We haven't been saying this explicitly but what is meant is that the folks at IT were saying someone is committing specifically to Texas today. They have ways to signal to the board that a commit is evident to Texas and that is what happened this morning (with the revision that this will actually happen in a day or two instead of today).

Nah man, he is Texas bound. 

I guess we will never know if the TFB source was correct about Ohio State but it appears all sites now think it is Texas all the way.

BTW, JJR is very close with Corian Gipson and that is a recruitment that is feeling very favorable for Texas as well at this point and the JJR committment will further cement that.

 
I aint holdin my breathe.
I wouldn't. The clearest indication that someone would commit today has already been redacted. Something could happen for sure but doesn't sound like there is a clear announcement tonight.

It'll be a good start to July with at least 3-4 commitments over the holiday weekend but no need to constantly troll the message boards tonight.

 
Tyanthony Smith just committed to aggy.
Sounds like NIL was a major factor in this one and Texas wasn't interested in playing that game with Smith. 

I do like Sark's approach to NIL, he wants kids who want to be at Texas for Texas, not just NIL dollars. The money should take care of itself for these guys but it's not our primary recruiting pitch.

 
Can we convince Calhoun or Daniels that instead of being the 3rd OT in that class they could be #1 for us?
I wish - I'd think both of those guys see themselves as #1 regardless of where they commit.

My info came from Wells at IT. He actually said it's January.

For Calhoun, that could be our way in down the line. It's rumored that Georgia wants him as a guard. He's our #1 target for LT. Baker is a RT. 

 
As for as OL goes it is after Flood reshapes them, then works them out. Then desides where they fit.

There was at least one scheduled commitment for Texas today and the recruit changed his mind, so there wasn't any double talk.

That's why I made a joke about trying to figure things out.

As for your last sentence, you've got to get beyond this idea that I'm bringing over info that's not real or "just for clicks."

Why would I do that and how does that help y'all as fans?

The money will take care of itself. 

 
TFloss32 in my wildest dream I would never think of you bringing click bait!

Now I am not confusedno way one can take today's recruiting seriously

I do think recruiting gurus do double talk , have to to keep intrest up. I would trust several on this board before the pay guys.  Sorry if my post was not clear and confused you.

 
Bijan drew the roadmap, and left step by step directions.

Hook ‘em!
