Patterson is an ace when it comes to negative recruiting against Texas. We're going to have to keep our eye on this one.
Re: 5 star players So, is it true that the players can now profit from their likeness? If so, then their "brand" is possibly held aloft by the school they attend. And if UT is very high in revenues, then you'd think we are now top 5 in terms of money for the player even if we're not top 10-15 on the field. True?
Agree for sure. A star that comes here will make more moolah off the brand than just about anywhere else.
negative recruiting ag sark is way diff … skins on the wall with a natty as the best OC in the country … what has coach TCU done …chirp chirp … nothing .. that’s right
I have grown skeptical of players that (supposedly) are actively recruiting others. We have to remember that these are 17-18 year old kids living in a man’s body. Most have little or no guidance, and virtually all of them lack maturity. They have grown men stalking them 24/7, and micro analyzing every word they utter. Can you imagine the power associated with being in that position? And at that age? No surprise that there are and will be…surprises.
He could start with bowl record- Sark is 2-2 as a HC in bowls with both wins being Holiday Bowls. Patterson bowl record is 13-6 with wins in Rose and Peach bowls. I think he could push Sark greatest success has come under Saban, who wouldn't be successful in that machine over the last 2 decades. There is plenty of more negative stuff to pull and we all know it. I don't think any of it adds up and think we offer a lot more than TCU but with the way 18 yo's think today and then add in their parents who think their baby is God's gift to football... you just never know.
From Bryce Anderson “The four schools that are sticking out to me the most right now are Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M and LSU,” said Anderson. Anderson was hoping to announce in early July but is now pushing that time back. “I originally had it for July 4th but i'm going to push it back due to my high school team making it to the Texas State 7 on 7 tournament,” said Anderson. “So that means I won't be able to take all of my official visits, so it'll be after I take all of my official visits.”
I have him penciled to the horns. There is no way he is looking at others. He just wants to come across as being hard to get. And that's ok
Texas v. OU battle but I feel good about this one. He has one crystal ball from Mike Roach @ Rivals … other older CBs are for OU. 247 profile
Just a hunch that Patterson and Fischer know that the landscape is changing. They can play whatever mind games they choose now but I sense that the Burnt Orange Train is getting ready to roll. Put simply, unless Sark falls flat on his face (which I seriously doubt), their 15 minutes of fame (ok, perhaps longer) would appear to be in jeopardy.
If Texas starts rolling, they will take advantage of it by following in Texas’ wake. Watch them switch on dime.
On OL recruiting...IT saying Texas is "all in" on Cole Hutson (Frisco High) and Connor Robertson (Austin Westlake) as interior prospects. Where it gets tricky is possibly having to decide between Jacob Sexton (Edmond, OK) and Cameron Williams (Duncanville). Williams is supposed to be at OU this weekend, and a Duncanville source told them there's belief Texas has a slight lead right now. If Williams doesn't fall in love with OU, the Texas side feels confident it can win him over on his official.
Updated visitors list for this weekend (from all sites): 2022 QB, Maalik Murphy, Junipero Serra (Gardena, CA) RB, Jaydon Blue, Klein Cain WR, Jordan Hudson, Garland High WR, Shazz Preston, St. James (St. James, LA) WR, Evan Stewart, Frisco Liberty WR, Brenen Thompson, Spearman WR, Armani Winfield, Lewsville WR, CJ Williams, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) OL, Kelvin Banks, Humble Summer Creek OL, Connor Robertson, Austin Westlake DT, Kristopher Ross, Galena Park North Shore LB, Trevell Johnson, Arlington Martin CB, Terrance Brooks, Little Elm CB, Denver Harris, Galena Park North Shore S, Bryan Allen, Jr., Aledo 2023 DE, Ashton Porter, Cypress Ranch
OrangeBloods saying OL Devon Campbell of Arlington Bowie wants to get to Austin next weekend for an unofficial visit. He will be on an official to OU this weekend. Devon Campbell, Bowie, Offensive Tackle
The guys I hope we get from the previous two posts are: Blue, Stewart, Thompson, Winfield, Banks, Campbell, Harris, Robertson and Murphy. Now that would be a haul.
It would be nice to take both, if they're willing. OTOH, all other things being equal (and I realize all other things are rarely equal), given a must-choose, I'd normally prefer the in-state player - if only to cement good relationships with the HS coaches in-state.
OL Kelvin Banks of Humble Summer Creek is in Austin, per IT. Kelvin Banks, Summer Creek, Offensive Tackle
IT had some clarification on S Bryce Anderson of Beaumont West Brook pushing his July 4th commitment date back. He is at Alabama this weekend, will go to the state 7-on-7 tournament next week and then head to Austin on Saturday where he'll stay through Sunday. When the family returns home, THEN they will decide if he needs more time. Bryce Anderson, West Brook, Safety
IT saying Bijan is the player host for WR CJ Williams this weekend, so that tells you how highly the staff thinks of him. C.J. Williams, Mater Dei, Wide Receiver
Well haven't heard much news from this weekend recruiting. Last weekend was big but this weekend is even bigger. I am hoping that the magma underneath is growing big and pushing upward and then all of a sudden blows and we get a plethora of great recruits. (I could have used another example but I decided to keep this in good taste since this is a family site). Well we will see which recruits will commit in the dawn of the reign of king Sark.
