2027 Recruiting Thread

The saga continues.

Getting tired of this soap opera. If he doesn't want to he be here then just pull the offer and let him go to FL or LSU. We have plenty of talent and don't need to beg a kid to play here

Who's begging? We put an offer on the table and he accepted it. I'm sure we maintain contact with him, just like we do with all recruits and we let him know we really want him, but his looking at other opportunities doesn't mean he doesn't want to be at Texas.
A kid with his talent is looking at serious NIL money so I understand his looking at other opportunities, even if I don't agree with it. His first choice was Texas, so he obviously wants to be here.
I'm old school and was raised to believe that your word is your bond and have lived with that principle all my life, but I have never been in the situation that he's in.
I just hope he honors his commitment.

Commitments ought to be renamed to "Reservation." A cancel anytime reservation. It really isn't a "commitment" at all. The players and the Universities don't treat it as such. Royal has reserved a spot on our 2027 freshman class. Kind of like having reservations for a steak dinner, while deciding if you would prefer Italian or Chinese.

This recruitment stuff should be all in good fun for fans, the coaches are the ones who should be sweating what 17/18 year olds are deciding. I always look back and remember how mature I was at 18, a man really does not become a man till like late 30's and even then, some take longer to become true men. I take all this with a grain of salt, trust that Sark and the coaches have it handled, no need to stress, cheers
