I was told the exact thing by one of Surratt’s closet friends. He was not used to the work and expectations that it takes to be a Carthage Bulldog.

Not surprised on this with Hampton. There seems to be some drama around Hampton and the mom. He left Daingerfield in the summer and was enrolled in Carthage. Went back to Daingerfield before school when things didn’t work out at Carthage.

Lance Jackson is more coordinated and athletic than his brother Landon. Lance played baseball and looked like a baseball player. Landon never looked comfortable playing baseball when he played. I could see Lance playing TE in college. The Henderson kid from Gilmer can fly. PG has some fast kids...

Word was he was not used to how hard Carthage worked.

I agree. Just because you win in HS does not mean it will transition to the next level. You must be able to recruit and connect with people. I have listened to Traylor, McGuire, PJ Fleck, and some others. They are all about relationships.

Not directed at Sark, but their are some HS coaches in Texas that are better than some coaches in college. Coaching has changed over the years. You hear more about the relationship aspect more so now than you did 20 years ago. Coaches and athletes have changed. Coaches must have the ability to...

I have seen several comments about getting beat by a HS coach. Joey McGuire is not chopped liver. He won 3 out of the 4 state championship games at Cedar Hill. He learned a lot from Matt Rhule. The guy can motivate and coach. Tech had no business winning that game but he had those guys believing...

This is from the thread. Quick quote. "I’m friends with the parents of one of our starting players and the external influences by activist professors is real. They are at every practice, hang out with them in the locker room, and they meet regularly with them outside of their football...

Interesting take on Orangebloods about the culture. Read the Anwar thread in the Longhorn sports forum.

No one knows why he has not pulled the trigger to OU. Marcus plans to graduate in December. So wherever he lands, he can rehab at the school. I know OU has already told him that. As far as Aggy, I am not sure what happened with Jackson, Aggie coaches, and the PG coaching staff. The last thing I...

Sorry, I have not checked the board in a few days. Torrey Phillips is a “diamond in the rough”. I think he has the best feet of all the big men on the PG team. For a kid his size, he can handle the basketball really well. To me, he projects as an offensive tackle. I know Kansas has already told...

Achilles I was told. It happened in the last 10 minutes of the workout. He was running when it happened. I hate it for him and the team.

I was told last night that he was going to OU.

Texas just needs to continue to build upon the already established relationships with the PG staff. After this 2021 group leaves, there is still some D1 talent coming. They are just young at this point.

Burris shares very little information . You get bits and pieces from different people. I have not heard that Texas is out of it with Burris. The last school that I heard mentioned was OU, and that was from two different people. 

From what I can gather, Jackson and other PG recruits are encouraged to enjoy the process. Look for Jackson to possibly take a visit to Washington. The best thing Texas could have done was change the defensive philosophy. Prior to that change, the outlook was not good.

As of right now, that is the plan.

Ha. And they are at Aggy this weekend too. I will add Texas has always been in the mix with Jackson. Burris says very little to anyone, including friends. One of them did post they were going to the same school together a couple of weeks ago in a Snapchat. They quickly took it down. The rumor of...

Rumor is Texas said they would take all three in Jackson, Burris, and Nick Martin. However, I have not seen an official Texas offer to Martin. Also, the feeling is Texas is leading with both Jackson and Burris now.
