You aren't getting the rate of the high end players in the Portal that you do in recruiting.... I'm talking 1st two day types... un less you kill it in HHS recruiting.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Permission to dream REALLY big?)
- Thread starter Ketchum

Because he's not good enough to be valued, not because they were afraid of the hoopla that would come with him (non existent).
I wasn't being condescending. Wasn't going for that. Sorry I made you feel that way.
BTW, I acknowledged that you were correct. It kind of feels like you were responding to what you thought was condescending with more condescending... except yours was intentional. I was just quickly responding to you inside of constant other ongoing conversations.
I wasn't the one who posted that Quinn was All-SEC. I was just pointing out that this place can be toxic and as the business owner you don't need to be (and shouldn't be) condescending. Hoping you will be better and set an example...that's all.
a. The point was that he wasn't all-sec in the first-team sense, not that he didn't earn some second or third tier conference honors. The context of the comment is critical here. The larger point is that the notion that his profile was so large that teams wouldn't take him because of the large attention he would bring is nonsensical.
b. You pointed out this place could be toxic and responded by assuming the worst about my intentions and responding with your own intended form of toxicity.
c. I wasn't being toxic. We're 300+ responses in this thread and 99% of them have been very cordial. The one that hasn't been is the one trying to teach a lesson about toxicity (which was never mentioned) with more toxicity.
I literally apologized for anything that unintentionally made you feel bad. Maybe you didn't see this message. It seems like you ignored it.
On the other hand, you not only didn't apologize for your intended toxicity, but you doubled down on it with a sermon.
Be better, indeed.
Have a blessed day.

It’s a ludicrous suggestion to begin with. NFL teams do cut throat shit day in and day out and don’t give a F, but now they’re worried about the perception of a 3-4th round guy? Like, every team in the league? Absurd.
The criticism of Ewers is fair--he's a big boy--he chose to be QB, he'll have to handle the adversity. But here are some things that I will always be grateful to Quinn for:
1. He very much helped put Texas back on the map--and won a lot of games--and multiple games he pulled out at the end with a big play.
2. He silenced all the petty big12 teams and fans and slammed the door in their face on the way out.
3. Finished with a winning record against ou.
4. Won a conference championship.
5. beat almost all of the SEC teams in Texas' inaugural season--came close to winning the damn thing.
6. Beat Klubnick, Dabo and co. in Austin
7. Took out the asu loudmouths in dramatic fashion in OT, and ripping the heart out of scattaboo on national TV.
8. And last but certainly not least--handling aggie, and piggy on the road.
He personally gave me a lot of bragging rights--many permanent. For these achievements, I am truly grateful.

It's a really intriguing subject when discussed by someone who understands it and you and Bill cleared that bar. The question that struck me is why are they not taking #1 in the world. Banks has not earned the the benefit of the doubt in my opinion, he has has been given scholarships for every member of the kicking team but other than deep snapper our guys in recent years were average and below.
