Wait. Thought Campbell had committed to the good guys and his announcement was a formality...hmm

Nope, the December signature has since announced.

Is the dude conflicted, playing games, or a head case? I know he has always liked texas but come on.

5-7 would make me nervous about the decision as well.

Change on Sanders, according to IT.

He is at Arkansas today, OU tomorrow and Texas on Friday.

I like when Texas has a chance to close and I like that it's on a Friday.

He will be if he commits to us and gets that burnt Orange ratings bump.  

True dat

He's not a 5 star, at least the composite takes into account more variables and services.  He's Fong'd to Aggy, so there's that.

I’m underwhelmed

If either or both hudson card and casey thompson remain at Texas they sill still be the best quarterback on opening day

I hope Sark is able to resist the pressure to start Ewers sooner rather than breaking him in gradually

I am more excited by the OL 5* recruits because no pocket passer can survive or thrive without protection

the better the protection the better the offense no matter who the QB is

and it goes without saying that we need a couple of dominating defensive line players also

all of which MIGHT allow Texas to compete for a Big 12 championship next year

 

I disagree with the assessment that Casey and Hudson are the better options.  Ewers just spent nearly a year in a CFB strength and conditioning program, he's fresh, and has legit arm talent.  I also think he may have the better football IQ of the three.  But, lets not leave out the project in Murphy.  Spring will be fun.

I'm not/can't blame him on cashing in when the money showed itself (dude made nearly 2 million to hang out).  Had the UIL fixed their issue with the NIL, Ewers would have been the SL QB this Fall.

I'd rather have him on campus fighting for the job than wondering what if....

I'm pretty sure this was done last week, otherwise.  This staff would have gone after Evers.

I also don't see the two big uglies committing without some incite.

A lot of problems are eased if we convince Ewers to come. Still a big if…

Is it

Everyone has been gripping about Texas is getting left behind on the NIL,  but I would imagine that CDC has a team research this from every angle.  I don’t picture him as a guy that is going to go off half cocked and just start throwing money around.  He’s also a guy that I see as someone who once he gets a handle on it, then moving forward he will be one of the top players on getting this done.  He’s not a guy that’s going to sit around and get smoked on this.  He’s getting some stuff going now and moving forward we’ll be on top of this.  I’m going to be interested to see how this class finishes out and what Sark does in the portal.  We’re all in agreement that we need to see improvement starting next year. 

Yes, there is an NIL compliance department that all of this stuff has to get by before it's announced.

Well this may be blind squirrel finds a nut now & then....

NCAA Reveals ‘A Number’ Of Schools Are Being Investigated (msn.com)

Nah, more monkey business.  The NIL situation mentioned by Emmert, is not football specific.  No schools have been named.

Tim Shep is a fake, that is bogus info.....

Samples going after him is enough to take a closer look.

Once again, OB jumping out there with info others sat on.  Gotta love those hacks.

I only know about him from the outside looking in. How plugged in is he and does he actually have validated sources?  Or is it more of I heard something and Im going to throw a lot of shit against the wall and see what sticks?

The bold is Ketch in a nutshell

Shock jock Ketch, dude is so full of shit.

The Ags class will recruit itself to finish out.  I'd bank on them landing Banks, etc...

It's an uphill battle.  Hope for the best.

I am curious as why this wasnt done much earlier.  Might have helped more in recruiting.  Seems like we are playing catchup

Texas NIL Compliance, well vetted.   

A 3rd NIL deal looms, with more to develop.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  

Still lots of house cleaning to do...

I’m intrigued about Ewers as a “pied piper”. He had ridiculous HS stats and I saw a video of him throwing a football the length of the field. His game film is pretty good but not earth shattering so I’m not real sure how good he is. I do know prior to skipping his Sr year a lot of the 2022 kids seemed ready to follow him at his school of choice. The possible recruiting ramifications makes me want him to be a Horn. 

He could have been a leader in the class.  I can tell you that the Southlake kids didn't miss a beat with his departure, nor did they raise much of a fuss.  Ewers has a arm talent.  

I'm not real big on the Ewers kid, he's an all about me personality.  If watched him play and I was far more impressed with Klubnik, that is the big miss for me.

If Ewers comes to the forty, I hope he's ready to work his ass off.  Murphy will be.
