2021 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Drb522]

I enjoyed TFB when it was free and was sorry it went pay-onlu

Every site goes pay.  It’s how they work.  They get you hooked.  This site will charge one day

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Then why did Justin post that TFB had done something so wrong? And you did the same thing.

If IT had the same story, why in the world does it piss you off that TFB did?

And why is it okay if IT does it, but damned if anyone else does?

LOL

I'm getting my popcorn out. You're pushing yourself into a corner here.

F@#K THE SOONERS AND THEIR SITE. 

I'm a Longhorn  so I support Longhorn sites. 

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Well back to discussing prospects....  

 

[Eastexhorn]

As to the recruit we will know sooner or later.

As to the virus there is New Zealand and USA.

Brainiacs is a Longhorn site. Otherwise, you're just insulting IT.

Darius Terrell, a former Longhorn and a coach at DeSoto, is one of the writers.

Can someone mention the name of the kid?  I don't subscribe to TFB so any update is appreciated.  I've not seen the name mentioned on IT, but the mods there did seem concerned that TFB could create issues by releasing the name of the kid prematurely.  Hopefully the TFB guys definitely have permission from the kid.  Still no idea who the kid is at this point.

TFB did not release the name of the kid and still haven't. They came right out and said they would not. IT was worried about something that never happened and was never at risk of happening. TFB had permission from the recruit to post what they did.

When news is slow, I suppose you make stuff up to make your competition look bad. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

My bet is the one that just decommitted from Ohio state, Tunmise Adeleye

We have not spoken with him and he's not reached out to us. Florida will get his services, IMO.

 

[sporty]

I've bolded the ones I would narrow it down to. I added Donovan Jackson.

I was tempted to bold Marcus Burris' name, but that would be downright shocking.

You can take Byrd off your list for the foreseeable future. He does not like Texas, at all.

But for what it's worth, one of the mods at TFB did add the following comment as to who the mystery recruit is:

"Y’all going to like this one."

Additionally, they sought and received permission from the recruit in question to post the news. So Justin can take a breath now. lol 

Could it not be Brockermeyer?

NM

 

[Eastexhorn]

RB.

I think they would have hyped it more, but you might be right. It could be a lot of recruits from all we know.

 

[Drb522]

Just a gut feeling on my part

 

[83Dee]

Do y’all think schools not playing this year will be negatively affected recruiting HS seniors?   
 

At the very least it adds a new wrinkle.... 

 

[Bear19]

That should be their choice.  Not yours.  Most other people if exposed would also take care of themselves as well.  You act like you’re the only one capable of taking care of themselves.  It’s like the flu.  Some years my family makes it through unscathed, some we all have it.  I appreciate the fact you think you know what’s best for me and mine, but most of my family think like I do.  They’re tired of being told what to do by a bunch scaredy-cat cats

You made a couple of statements that are wrong. I am not acting like I am the only one who can take care of myself. But unlike you I recognize there are a lot of people out there who can’t. And some of them wind up in our clinic every damn day. And some of them die. Quite often they caught it from someone who views it as being ‘just like the flu.’

Unfortunatly many people believe the statement you made that it is just like the flu. That is pure ignorance. When people get over the flu they are well. There are millions of people out there who will have lifelong disabilities from COVID even though they live. I won’t bore you with the details.
Secondly, it is totally unlike the flu in our ability to limit the spread. We don’t have a vaccine. That means even though the death rate per case may be about the same there are going to be millions of more people who contract it. That means the total number of deaths will be far, far greater than the flu.

And lastly, I haven’t been called a scaredy-cat in a long, long time.

The wrong statement is bolded.  You assume I don’t recognize that.  I do recognize, actually I know, there are lots of older folks who can’t care for themselves.  That’s why they, and the ones caring for them, should be at home and not everybody else along with them.  You must think that everybody else is stupid and don’t know how to use safety precautions.  
 

and yes, the numbers show that it is very similar to the flu as far as how contagious it is. 1.5% of the US population has contracted it in 6 months.  The largest portion of that has recovered.  A flu vaccine is only good for the 3-4 strains that they think will be the most common that flu season.  Hell there are at least 15 strains of the flu.  I’ve taken a flu shot 3 times in my life.  I’ve had the flu 3 times.  Twice was years that I had a flu shot.  1 out of 3 it worked.  Even with Flu vaccines available the numbers for Covid are on Par with the flu.  That’s with the flu having a vaccine.  Yes I understand there could be life altering effects, but like I said. An anvil could fall out of the sky too.  Keep your eyes up today

 

[Bear19]

On average the flu vaccination is approximately 60% effective. About six out of 10 people who receive the flu vaccination are protected. And those who get the flu who have received the vaccination tend to have a milder case.

yearly flu deaths in the United States range from about 20,000 to 60,000. The average is about 35,000.

Through 7 1/2 months of the Covid pandemic about 170,000 Americans have died. This projects to around 250,000 in one year.

but if Covid equals the flu how could that possibly be?
Perhaps not all anvils are the same?

I’m going to bow out of this discussion. I hope all remain safe. 

ps. 
Damn. This should have gone on another thread. I am too lazy to switch it. Kill me.

This should have gone on another thread.

Yes, it should. Please move it to appropriate thread. Many of us come to this thread to read about football. Thanks.

Suchomel at OrangeBloods saying he's hearing some things that could make today an interesting day.

I am assuming it's recruiting related, but I will follow up if there's more.

May be 22' related.  Oklahoma mod on Rivals just changed his OU pick on Quinn Ewers to Texas.

 

[Slimer]

Super K thinks Texas is the leader for both Wheaton and LJ and doesn't know how the staff is going to handle it.
