lol. Knew you were going there. That’s 1 of 4 regarding his top targets since being hired at Texas. Congrats?

Of course, he is emphasizing OOS kids more, and by God, he should.
Yet, I have people in this thread arguing that he MEANT to lose the in-state super blue chip prospects on purpose.
The conversation is specifically geared towards what happened in 2024.
I don't need a congrats. I need you to stick to the framework of what we're specifically discussing.
Who did we offer well before the other? Sayin or Owens? If we never sign Arch do you really think we don’t push hard for Sayin and not Owens
Great regular season player that hasn't been able to perform in the playoffs. It's probably not fair because Harden at least had some playoff success during his time. The only reason Harden doesn't have 1 championship is because he ran into a dynasty in the GSW. Can't say KC is what has been standing in Baltomore's way. Buffalo is the one getting screwed by the KC dynasty.
The quarterback position is kind of its own universe. There's no question that Sark will always go universal and national at that position.
You've never seen me once belly-ache about not going after Lagway.
Sayin reclassified after those decisions had been made. He was a 2025 offer. It was never really an Owens vs. Sayin debate.
If he could have one over the other, I'm sure he would pick Sayin.
I am talking about the success of recruiting Texas in 2024. And moving into 2026.
If you aren't having that conversation, then you can move on, I suppose.
Feels like a lot of moving of goalposts. Maybe just look at 26 of 76 signees in the last 3 classes being from OOS.
I think it's always been the plan for Burke (and Vasek) to end up at Jack. Vasek's injury cost him an entire year of getting bigger and stronger, but he will get there assuming he heals up.
Moore and Simmons are an intriguing 1-2 punch at Buck.
Huh?!? Of course we are. aggy being on kids lists doesn’t mean we are way behind. This isn’t the Mack years. We are not going to see many of the top end guys be all Texas from the start. The SEC makes recruiting a marathon, and so far Sark knows how to pace himself and push when needed.
I just thought it was interesting hearing the thoughts post rumble, not necessarily needing to hear it from him.
What do you think is missing from Cody for that IT factor?
What does “dominating the state” mean? If you think we have to nab most of the Top 10 like in the Mack days then be prepared to be disappointed. That’s not going to happen with the current recruiting landscape. It’s a brand new world. Just getting 3 of the Top 10 will be tough.
Yes I understand the SEC part. What I can’t understand is why Aggy is in play for so many given 1.they are aggy, 2. The seasons they’ve had recently, 3. Coaching change.
They must be offering significantly more is my only guess. Otherwise why would a top recruit even consider them currently ?
I mean...don't you think aggy and others have had the same thought after Texas has been in the cellar for the last 10 years plus?
It’s quite odd that I keep hearing of Vasek’s injury by a poster here or there yet I’m not sure I’ve read any details of the injury by a mod. And not sure how the injury cost him “an entire year” of physical growth.
I think it came from @Anwar Richardson, would need to search to confirm. I’d wager there was a procedure done that wasn’t disclosed to us.
It can be a very wearing job. Much like publisher/writer of a website (unless you can keep your sense of humor at the crazies, and remember that everyone is a crazy once in a while).
I'm specifically talking about the recruiting of super blue chips from the state of Texas. It's the only thing I really care about in the discussion and no one that has really read my work would ever suggest otherwise.
I don't know. That was really my first time watching him. Maybe I would feel different with an extended look.
Interestingly enough Ryan Clark just mentioned the comparison on First Take to Harden.
