Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Six months into his new job and Herman has OU on tilt)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
@Ketchum , it's not a good look that you weren't focused on a highly ranked/skilled prospect because he was committed to LSU and now that he is committed to Texas you've now decided to focus/re evaluate him and possibly ( most likely ) move him up in your rankings. You most likely have your reasons, but iys just not a good look. All prospects in the top 25-30 should be looked at with a magnifying glass, especially national top 150 level prospects. Just my humble opinion, continue the good work.

The order of your QBs (based on fit of offensive scheme) is wrong.
Good read Ketch and I for one can't wait to start spanking that OU ass on the field every year and giving baby Bob something to really cry about....
I'm a Cowboy homer like you Geoff
But that schedule looks brutal as hell. And that secondary?

More like a "you're not on the payroll" kind of out of the fray.
If this were somehow the wife of an opposing HC, and this were directed at one of our coaches, the thread would hit ten pages.
Dirt Burglars on tilt - and we haven't even played a game yet. This year's RRS is going to be fun!
OU is getting their clocks cleaned by Texas with the 2018 and 2019 classes. This isn't up for debate.
False... but, it's on the to-do-list.
You thinking it was stacked is part of the problem.
The time available for continued evaluation is quite long.
It's a 36-month evaluation at this point. Less info was available on him than a number of other players. Taking the time through the spring to get more info is natural. This is what transparency looks like.
I was told on Thursday it had been a month. Tim Beck checks in with him. We haven't seen a report out of any other city indicating Zaire was leaning toward that school, so we'll see what happens.
Zaire has to see, that of the schools he's considering, we have the best coach and offense for his skill set. And here, there would be more media and equal or more pro scout attention. With that in mind, if Herman wants Zaire as much as Ketch says (and I think Herman does), Zaire comes here. Unlike some others, I don't think Herman wanting Zaire necessarily means that Herman thinks Zaire is better than Shane. I believe Herman would want Zaire even if he's only equal to Shane. Herman rightly wants immediate quality depth at the position.
That Selvin Young story brings back memories. I was somewhat close to him back then and as late as november 2001 he told me he was going to OKlahoma. I joined this site then to get a little closer look into his recruitment.
I remember sitting in his dorm room the next year with him, DJ, and Dockery playing NCAA and he told DJ that he was at the RRS the year before rooting for OU because he was so close to committing to them. Sally's Cookies FTW!

Yes, I know the instant reaction is to say no way based on the year Dak and Zeke just had, but consider the following:
1. Last year, both teams made the exact same round of the playoffs (round of 8).
2. Even if Watson is only a league average QB at first, the Texans just got a huge upgrade at the most important position on the field. At the end of 2015, if you had your choice between Deshaun and Dak as your franchise QB, which guy would you have chosen?
3. The Texans also upgraded the RB position by adding college football's most productive RB to a team that already has a 1,000 yard rusher on it.
4. The Texans add some guy named JJ Watt back onto the field this year. Watt alone has to be considered enough to get them one win closer in the playoffs than they would be without him, which puts them one win shy of a super bowl.
5. The competition in the AFC isn't as tough as it is in the NFC, and if you figure both Brady and Big Ben will retire in the next 1-2 years, the AFC will be completely wide open.
The Texans took a final 8 team from last year, upgraded the QB position, upgraded the RB position, and added through "virtual free agency" the most dominating defensive player in the last decade. What did the Cowboys do in the last month to go from a final 8 team in the NFC to NFC champs?
I heard the Texas ladies had an impact on his recruitment.
a. Watson isn't better than Dak.
b. Foreman isn't in the same class as Zeke.
c. Neither have played a game as a pro.
d. Slow down.
