2025 Recruiting Board/Thread

Per Anwar Texas is no longer recruiting the the peanut kid from LT.
Here's more to the story and if true, is pretty damning.


“A couple of teammates on his varsity football team were asking about his allergy to peanuts and asked if it could kill him,” the victim's mother, Shawna Mannon, told KXAN. “He said 'Yes, it absolutely could.'"

The players involved were reportedly disciplined by being benched but didn't face criminal charges.

“These boys were handed minimal consequences,” Shawna Mannon told the school board on Nov. 16. “Since this incident, my son has faced backlash and retaliation almost daily.”

That's a shame. Hank Carter needs to get a hold on this.
OTF said that there was a lot of pushback from former players regarding the recruitment of Cordova.

Not sure why he wouldn’t already know since it was reported by KXAN, a local news station. Winning is important at LT, sadly maybe than this young man’s health.
 
That's sucks. UT does an excellent job of welcoming guests.
Seems that the NCAA is making rules aimed at reducing the pomp and circumstance around visits. I'd be curious how a school like Texas feels about it. With our resources, both financial and in man power, we were probably able to do this without much trouble. For other schools, trying to keep up, it may be a drain on those resources. I'd think a school like Iowa state may be glad to not have to buy custom balloons and multiple custom cakes for each official visitor.

They also eliminated photo shoots on unofficial visits. Again, makes things about easier for schools. Though, may disadvantage a school like Texas who has the resources to make it happen with ease.

Texas only does that for an athlete's official visit. That's because UT is footing the bill anyway. IMO, an official visit SHOULD have some pomp and circumstance with it.
