***Early Signing Day Thread***

[utparothed]

There's definitely something weird going on behind the scenes. He committed, then he started flirting with A&M because he missed the attention. Now he's not signing early, and he's taking an OV to A&M even though they supposedly don't have room for him. Add to that the stuff with FWK, the twitter trolling, the flakiness, the possible grade issues....I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this kid. Personally I'd rather move on from him, although with OL being such a position of need I don't know how much of a choice Texas has.

Couldn't agree more about moving on.  He may have talent and may turn out to be a good college football player but he's looking more and more like a potential bust and, with his apparent need for attention, a problem in the locker room/off the field.  I think it might be better to hang on to the scholarship and look for a kid who might not be as highly rated but who'll put in the work without the attitude, wouldn't be the first time Texas found a diamond in the rough...Connor and Colt come to mind.

As for FWK...if it looks/walks/swims like a duck it's a duck, the guy looks/sounds/acts like trouble.  That alone might be a good enough reason to stay away from anyone associated with him.

Don’t understand people wanting to “move on” from a talented prospect. He hasn’t done anything wrong or bad. Same people that usually complain when we don’t make the big 12 title game. 

Stay after him and recruit him until he is writing his name on the paper. He it’s UT great, if not oh well, go get the next highest on ur board. 

Glad u guys aren’t involved in recruiting

Look, I hope he signs with Texas and proves me wrong, to the point where I look like a complete fool in 4 years. But between the grade issues, the flakiness, the attention-loving attitude...I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.

All I’ll say is that if you don’t see some red flags with him, then thank god you’re not involved in recruiting either.

He won't be around to throw interceptions against us next year.

Only red flag I see is grades. If he doesn’t qualify, that sucks but doesn’t mean u stop recruiting him b4 he signs. 

So he wants attention, big deal. He is a top prospects and many schools want him. He verbally committed and hasn’t OVed to other schools yet. He hasn’t said anything bad about yours. Not every recruit is gonna he roschon Johnson and that’s fine. Recruit all talented players that aren’t criminals, end of story 

mack brown in 201-2013 showed u what happens when u throw in the towel and move on from talents players.

Biggest thing to me today is only 1 committed OL. Hand has to do a better job than this.

Well, here's where the staff earns their money. They have a month to put a good product on the field for a bowl game while continuing to look for uncommitted, juco and grad transfers players that fill the gaps. We still have a top 10 class, so not the end of the world, but not the end of the recruiting cycle either.

Recruiting guys on ESPNU talking about Oregon having the #5 class and talking about how they basically looked for ways to push the envelope when it came to operating in the gray area. Interesting. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You won't compete for national championships if you are not operating in the gray area. And, no, I'm NOT talking about blatant cheating.

Golfer has a point there. Texas has to push the envelope in the gray area and not afraid to face head on for top prospects. We can't talk about it We gotta be about it

Did they mention any specific tactics?

No, they seemed to use their words very carefully.

After the North Carolina BBall scandal, it's clear the NCAA as an enforcement arm is dead. teams are going to do whatever the hell they want.

A&M has put all their money on the table from new stadium , to their $75 million dollar coach and this is exactly what happened when they hired Jackie Sherrill .  As I warned everyone when they hired Fisher  watch out as the Aggies are about to dominate the state of Texas when it comes to recruiting.  Cheating or dark dark shades of gray , it will not matter as they are all in and honestly there is nothing that will stop them especially the NCAA .  If they do it will be years down the road and way after the fact.  For me we have two teams we have to stay ahead of when it comes to recruiting and that is Oklahoma and Texas A&M  .  How we did against those two teams is how I will judge.

I gotta say talking about the other team cheating after you lose is lame. Did we cruise the grey area last year? Is that the only way to get a great class? No and no.
