Most white lanyard/ total recruits I've ever seen at a game. Several massive OT types, a JUCO DL Fromm TVCC, a ton of skill kids, a kicker, a QB, a commit (Gibbs) and many more I missed.  May have been 5-10 empty seats total in the team room during the recruiting presentation.

Excellent news. And very smart move by the coaching staff and administration. They knew the environment would be live and they took advantage. This is good marketing and recruiting on their part. Hopefully we start seeing dividends soon.

I wonder if the D-lineman is Marvin Terry. He is from Oak Cliff. We offered out of high school... here is his list from high school. Played both LB and DE.

No idea but JayD said they are looking at mid-term JUCO transfers.. I’m going to guess grades are his problem with him going from a Mizzou Commit to showing up at TVCC

The tough balance with JUCO guys is that the ones who qualify clearly and easily aren't usually the most talented guys on the roster. That isn't to say they can't be, or that some guys just need more time to develop... The reality is Lane Kiffin and Co. are taking all of hte problematic guys with ridiculous offer sheets and finding away to make it work out. I know that's not our style, and i'm fine with that. Would just be nice to land a defensive Guyton-level guy to anchor the defense. (Also, I think if Bryce was healthy and we could have moved Rod to DE like we planned, this defense hums)

JayD posted he thinks the Vada King was due to grades.. if this kid is a mid-term Guy then UNT should be all over him, if not a blue-shirt offer should be extended

Don't think this coaching staff (and many others) will touch Terry. Very talented player though.

I'm told he has matured and turned his life around

Got a good feeling about 2019. That's the class that should really see a jump in head to head recruiting battles and caliber of recruits. I expect 2018 to be similar to 2016/2017 in the sense that we wait to snatch up those Jaelon Darden/Greg White/Nick Smith types at the end. The guys who are currently uncommitted and are left with their offers dried up after the early signing period comes and goes.

Seems to have worked pretty well. Then 2019 can be a more impressive crop of early commits and signees, coupled with our opportunistic recruiting at the end. That would set us up great long-term.

Any word on the lineman from Sweetwater.  I love that guy he made the horse look small.

If you're talking about who I think you are (the guy who made his decision video by shooting things?), then IIRC he chose Army.

What are the right places saying then? 

They have 5 to 8 scholly left. In about a week there could be more than 20 FBS openings with less than 3 weeks until early signing day. Alot of dominoes to fall. Be patient. Trust the staff. They are in on some BIG names... Staff is not going to just throw a bunch of offers to 2 stars guys just to fell spots for 247 rankings (Texas State) thinking bigger picture...they have a HUGE OV slate week after conference championship game.

Love to hear that! Still wanting Dove and Rucker from Ryan, and Fowler and Bradford-Thomas at DE/LB..

How “BIG” of names are we talking here? Big as in lots of offers or P5 offers, big as in low, mid, or high 3 stars, or big as in great tape? Throw a dog a bone pls.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
