    2027 Recruiting Thread

    And that was one of the questions I had for coaches recruiting my kid (not football). Was there a date they had to commit by to guarantee a spot on the team, was there a max number of recruits they were looking for and we needed to commit before they hit that number and lastly, if they commit...

    Question for the old-timers: Who was better: 1971 Oklahoma or 1983 Nebraska?

    I believe it was Craig Curry who muffed the punt. I also believe Rick McIvor was auditioning for the NFL. He had no touch on the ball and was throwing bullets to wide open backs/receivers just past the LOS. Put a little touch on the ball and we blow them out. I was at the game. I thought for...

    I don't like it either. I think it is destroying the game and now some players are going to the highest bidder, jumping from team to team every year. But, this is the way the system is now. You never know how long a player will play due to injury or if they will get to the next level. The...

    Really can't blame him. If my kid was going through recruitment, I'd be advising them to take all their trips and act enthusiastic at all of them. Make no promises but tell them all they are one of the tops schools. Then wait until a few days before signing day to announce.

    Hell no! Let them play teams like Michigan or Ohio State and prove themselves first before we schedule them.

    Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

    An that's my problem with the playoff committee--they don't look at how strong the team is at the end of the season, they only look at the record. You are penalized for every game you lose, no matter who you play, and on the flip side, you are rewarded for every win, no matter who you play. I'm...

    Asking for a friend...;) This is outside any school NIL correct? And technically, the school can't participate or promise this outside NIL. Can this be negotiated while the school is trying to recruit the player or is it all supposed to happen after he signs?

    Game of Concern?

    I worry about all games. My expectations are high this season and all it takes is a slow start, off night by a key individual, a costly turnover. Tougher than anticipated? I don't relax until we have a 30 point lead going into the 4th quarter. But if I had to pick 1 game - it would be LSU. New...

    That's just it, it's the perception that counts. Other teams, like TT and aggie, can trot this out to Recruits and say whatever. I'm sure Texas can counter with stuff but it can still hurt. I don't like it, especially when relatives and friends point stuff like this out. And both those teams...

    If Tech is involved that means they are throwing some money around to land him. I don't think anyone is going to outbid them. I guess it will depend on if he is in it for just the money.
