That was one I didn't count on. I had him going to TCU. It is a nice pre-NSD surprise.

I am cautiously optimistic TEXAS will do well if they can also grab longshots like Kyle Porter now.

 

[starbigd]

All I care about is us landing Jones and Hudson.......but if we get all the guys we're in on, we're looking at a top 5, maybe top 3 class.......that's INSANE.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I dont think we are getting a top 5 class. That seems insanely unlikely and unrealistic.
That is not happening even if Texas lands every single undecided and flips a few others not even on the radar.

If every single thing falls positive, Texas will be in the mid teens best case.
If things break negative, Texas will be in the low 20s.

That is not bad considering the team has went (11-14) the last 2 seasons.
Not to mention we have a serious glut of returning freshmen. We cannot sell playing time as easily like last year.

Alabama just got a commit from 4 star OT Scott Lashley

 

[4down20]

Alabama moves up to #4 on the 247 composite with this commit.

Try using the calculator. If Texas lands all the current targets, they have a top 3 class.

Worst case, its teens as it stands RIGHT NOW. They're almost assured a top 10 class.

Alabama lost a 3 star safety.

25 lies you will tell yourself on National Signing Day


Getting ready for tomorrow. I suggest we all just use numbers instead of typing a heaping pile of horse crap:

1. Rival U is cheating significantly more than my school is.
2. Our many JUCO signees have unique stories full of context and nuance, unlike Rival U's, who are bad people.
3. Recruiting rankings are [total bullshit/anti-Great Plains/flawed forever because Texas commits were overrated like five years ago/ESECSPNBIAS/social constructs devised by the patriarchy] anyway.
4. Rival U's four-star quarterback should play wide receiver or whatever.
5. Our four-star wide receiver/athlete just needs one year of coaching and ~voila~ a quarterback.
6. He's only a two-star because he's not in ~our~ strength program yet.
7. [massive spree of excuses for your school's mediocre academic rankings and sad NFL Draft production, all in the same list somehow]
8. I know a guy who says [...].
9. Rival U's out here cutting student-athletes from its commitment list as if it's a downsizing drug cartel, whereas your critiques of my alma mater severing ties with some unacceptable players lack the facts.
10. After studying* his film**, I think [...].
11. Rival U's top signee wasn't even the best player in his own Home Ec class.
12. Player said he chose us over Rival U because of our engineering program. This is why my school is special. The media should make a bigger deal out of this. Wow, the first Super Bowl MVP to land on Jupiter; can't wait. He made a 400-year decision, not a four-year decision. Rival U doesn't even have an engineering program that I acknowledge. I am shuddering with hope for the future of our species.
13. Player said he chose Rival U over us because of their engineering program.Engineering cheating.
14. Enormous monster speedbeast will never make the NFL, and the reason for that is he signed at Rival U.
15. That our many unrated players have the same rating as Ed Reed is noteworthy.
16. Kansas State has two-stars. Kansas State wins. We have two-stars. ERGO FACTO.
17. Most of these signees and our head coach will still be here in four years.
18. He only picked Rival U because his girlfriend/mom/dog/brother goes there. We didn't even waste all of our time trying, wisely.
19. My tweets at recruits mattered.
20. Alabama lost to underdog recruiting lightweight Ohio State a couple years ago, so recruiting rankings are meaningless.
21. Khalil Mack and like a million blue chips get picked in the NFL Draft, so recruiting rankings are meaningless.
22. The NCAA will do something about Rival U's cheating soon.
23. The NCAA.
24. I'll try and pay less attention to recruiting next year.
25. We didn't want him.

26. Stars don't matter. That 2* kid fits our program better and if he had camped more would have been a 4* anyways.

Hot dog! Christmas-Giles. Just watched the Nola newscast with him making the announcement. First in a gaggle of DT's we'll be getting, and the one with the quickest first step.

didn't play his junior year, or he'd be a top 50 player.

Cant wait until tomorrow.
