I honestly feel like Wescott Eberts and MBHORNSFAN have to be related. I've never seen two guys that are so adamant on being negative about everything. If you want to join the SEC here's a very simple solution, become an Aggie. Sit back and enjoy.

I actually thought Wescott Ebert's take on recruiting painted a pretty accurate picture of where things stand. I guess that makes me negative... as opposed to having my head in the sand.

To be fair, that's also only 1 site.  I don't know which one you read it on, but 247, IT, OB, and HS generally have different opinions on damn near everything.

Also, Newsome loves us and Burt in Florida loves us.  The WR position is one we can slow play.

Lastly, lol at the line "tired of the excuses"... Charlie has only been on the job 5 months and only through Spring Ball.  Jesus, man.

I honestly wouldn't know what Ebert's take is on recruiting. I stopped reading his stuff long ago, way before Mack was even thought of being let go. Ebert would get starry-eyed over big time recruits during Mack's time and then would criticize Mack for taking those big time recruits instead of taking better fits that were less nationally recognized. Those that are all or nothing on recruiting I simply ignore. Recruiting isn't the end all be all. Just look at what Baylor's done with average recruiting classes, and look at what's happened to A&M's 2012 and 2013 classes. You can't look at recruiting the way Ebert looks at it, and that's why I stopped reading his articles.

Some like vanilla, some like chocolate. That's what makes the world go around.

Just because you agree with me doesn't mean you're wise. Just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you're stupid.

Very true. Some people probably find his analysis on the money, it's just not my cup of tea. IMO he gets too caught up in rankings and that leads to overly extreme type positions. You are right on the money though, everyone has their own cup of tea.

Well, I just do not know what to say or do.......I believe we will be OK! B)

So if someone disagrees with you they're negative? Now I get it attack the person personally to make yourself feel better.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

I guess Big Mike enjoys hosting pity parties on his show every day .  "Boo hoo, aggies are in the SEC and we're not".  Yeesh.....get some new material.

No we do not have pity parties we talk about everything & not just what makes you feel good.

Nope. Someone is negative if they are negative all the time. I have no problem with people that disagree with me. I'm negative often in the baseball game threads and I'm sure people disagree with me. Point is, I'm positive every now and then. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

But you don't talk about everything, you go negative on everything. Did not see you make a single post about the Gentry commit, did not see you make a single post about us winning the regional in baseball, did not see you make a single post about anything positive in terms of Longhorn athletics. That's the point you don't talk about everything, you have a very one-sided dialogue. Maybe you are positive on other forums and just not here, who knows. If so I apologize. All I see here is a bunch of negative posts.

I think it would be wise to allow the HC to decide who he wants to recruit. Seems to me that there are a handful of players that Mack recruited that may very well not fit into what Strong wants to do. If he really wanted Lodge, I doubt he would have rescinded his scholarship.

Strong did not rescind his offer. That is funny.

Now you're just ignoring facts.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

Does it surprise anyone that Lodge is not coming to Texas? It doesn't me. And it won't surprise me if Malik Jefferson doesn't either.

NOTHING 17 & 18-year old kids do surprise me!

We've just gotta have faith that Strong can mold the players we get into a cohesive unit.  Until then, everything said is speculation and conjecture.  Let's enjoy the ride for awhile.

I appreciate the fact that Big Mike has a tough job coming up with talking points for his show.  But, how about some positive tweets and HS posts for a change?  Not too much to ask.

Per another site Texas is out of it for Lodge the #1 ranked WR in Texas. Looks like his final three are Aggy, Ole Miss, LSU.. All SEC schools nothing to see here move along. 

Well, that's it boys and girls. We might as well shut the damn place down. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Agree that WR, RB, DB, and maybe LB are positions we can "slow play".

Big-time OL & DLs with a rare combination of size & speed should be a higher priority, IMO.  Losing a guy like Kingsley to aggy is disappointing, but he was only rated a 3* by most recruiting services.

You seem to want to keep digging at my show. Trust me it's real easy to come up with topics for the show.
