I saw somewhere, maybe here, that Sumlin reached out to Tenn EE QB Quintin Domardy before he enrolled to gauge interest. If true, that would be telling in my mind.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Kyler Murray and more...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Mods, do you think Murray has silently decommitted from the aggies (similar to what Gentry did) so as to help Sumlin from completely having his class implode?
Is it just me, or does everyone else also have the sense that Ketch feels extremely (almost eerily) confident about how things are about to unfold...

Not sure why you believe this is a longshot. All you have to do is connect the dots and you'll see this is most likely going to happen.
K. Murray visits Austin tweets his jersey number out and starting this media frenzy
D. Mack cancels Auburn visit and takes ov to Texas.
D. Lodge comes to Austin all of a sudden and tweets a pic of a Texas jersey
S. Jamabo most now feel Texas is starting to run away with this recruitment
M. Merrick is a Kevin Murray pupil and Kevin helped place him at Texas, no way does Kevin Murray risk his reputation as qb coach to troll Charlie Strong and Texas
G. Little all of a sudden is a no-show to aggie jr. day. Yes could be a legitimate reason for the no-show but too many things are trending towards Texas, also not to mention how all of our commits are acting like we're in for a big surprise has me convinced.
A and M is not going to let this kid, Murray, flip to Texas.Whatever it takes, everything is on, or under, the table.Made a huge statement with move to SEC and its ridiculous I know to think one player could change the momentum they have or think they have. But in my opinion they will not let him flip.
I want to believe we will win out but this is my biggest concern. If we are leading because Sumlin isn't giving the Murrays the answers they want (I am not suggesting they are asking for anything against the rules) then maybe the real threat Texas has become will make Sumlin change his answers this week. I like seeing the actions of the other recruits, but that can still be in line with keeping Texas a strong option. I would have loved to see Lodge not take his Ole Miss visit. That would have been a huge indication in my mind. little skipping junior day was good but clearly he still has plenty of options to visit in the next year.
I think the questions they want answered are lack of discipline, lack of QB development, lack of defense, etc. These are tough to answer when you don't have a track record.
Great weekend for Texas football and an exciting time in recruiting but all I can think about is Rumble Johnson kicking the shit out of Gustufson. I wasn't expecting that! Maybe Jerry can get Jones/Johnson scheduled at Cowboys Stadium.
Ketch, one of your best yet, thanks. If our class ends up the way you suggest, that is the equivalent of a 12 seed winning the ncaa tourney. Out of curiosity, any news on Richmond or Strickland? Are either/both off our radar?

Kyler is going to be bought (except by Baseball). The Murrays appear to have integrity, and that, it would seem, is the reason they aren't enamored with Rumlin.
Ketch,
Just curious if you think there are any promises that Kevin Sumlin can make to Kevin or Kyler Murray at this point that wouldn't come off as lip service. Or at this stage of the game does a recruiter just try to convince a recruit that the current plan is sound and he really is a good fit or are the late in home visits more of a rah rah pep really for the school and the program. I'm just trying to understand what can possibly be said this late in the game to possibly change a recruits mind or the mind of their parents.

I've been on this site for a long time, and I have never seen Ketch this confident over a commitment. He's all in on this one. Please, sweet baby Jesus, make this happen. For a fan base that has suffered for the past 5 years, we cannot handle a troll job by Kyler & co. this close to NSD. If CS can close this class, we are on the cusp of greatness again.Originally posted by HookemUK:

It was. Vince often had time to slap together a P.B. & Jelly sandwich, and eat it, before decidiing to run or pass.

True statement, and it brought back a football memory regarding for UT player Bill Bradley.
The week before we played Baylor, Bradley, who was Baylor defensive coordinator at the time as I recall, was quoted in the American Statesman as saying "...anyone could pass as good as Vince Young if all they had to do was just stand there until someone got open..."
That's not verbatim by any means, but I think you get my drift.

And Chance Mock was going to plant Vince's ass on the bench until he graduated because of practice performance remember? We talking 'bout practice man...PRACTICE.
I'm just busting your balls man but I do find this emphatic career projection based on practice performance stuff humorous. Especially for a true freshman QB. I realize it's coming from coaches and you're just reporting it....and maybe he will bust....but how about we let the kid take some game snaps before proclaiming he isn't what we thought he was? Just an idea...maybe I'm crazy.
If Gone Girl is in your top 5 for 2014 then you should just stop watching movies altogether. That movie turned from believable to one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen within seconds. I went from being on the edge of my seat to constantly looking at my watch to find out how much longer I had to wait before it was over. Also, Ben Affleck sucks but that isn't news. He should have just retired after Argo because he is back to his old tired non-believable acting self in this movie. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a lot more Oscar mentioning worthy than that piece of trash.
