WR recruiting isnt going well.
We’ve got 2 Top 200 WRs committed and by all accounts are in a good spot to flip ****ey. How is WR recruiting not going well? It’s August, not November. Y’all gotta relax. This isn’t the Manny show anymore
1 top 200 WR. Washington shouldn't be considered a commit at this point
Based on what? Literal insiders are saying that this is a days old story and things are fine now. The chicken little stuff should at least stop until there’s an actual reason for it
It’s because this class is generational and as it stands right now, we have two guys committed and one of them is shaky while the other guys don’t appear to be looking our way or are committed elsewhere. Inniss was never really an option but going into to it we were odds on favorites for Brown and Hykeem was a lean.
But as dudes like @Brooklyndee tell us all the time, just because it’s not on the board or being reported by 247 doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. You think a recruiting maniac like Mario doesn’t have a plan A, B, C and D? People were whining about the slow start and now we’re top 10. Games haven’t even started to be played yet. Let’s just let things play out a little bit.
eh thats not what they said. they said the story is days old when it goes public and a few days ago it wasn't good but now they may stick lol but will be a problem going forward
I agree that Mario has a card up his sleeve. hes gonna cover his bases.
Mario always has a card or cards up his sleeve.
agreed.
Of course Mario has multiple contingencies he is a pro and am ace but that doesn’t mean that recruiting is going well with WR. And saying it’s not going well isn’t saying that it will not end well either. People *****ing about a slow start in April is not the same as seeing some concerns in mid August during a cycle where more players have made early commitments than ever before. Finally these boards are about discussion and the program. Sometimes these discussions will bring up constructive criticism and concerns. It makes for a better board than 100% nothing but sunshine pumping.
So what are you whining about?
But the concerns are WR where we have 2 Top 200 kids committed. @Cribby said we’re good with Robby at the moment. Gaby said people in the offices feel good. And @DMoney said that things are looking good with ****ey. Again, just because the class isn’t finished in August doesn’t mean things aren’t “going well”. This isn’t a small time operation anymore.
I mean until we see those cards, there is a point of concern esp since there is one area of recruiting we have come up empty in so far. It may not be a point of concern in December but as august 17 it is. its also a message board. you can discuss topics in the moment
You’re contradicting yourself in back to back messages but I digress.
I think it depends on which part of Texas you’re from tho forreal. There’s never been a in state school that was universally the one here. When I was a kid if you wanted to leave the state but stay close-ish, if you from was the d you went to Oklahoma, if you from the H you went to LSU. The Oklahoma hate died out a long time ago because Oklahoma generation by generation planted seeds. They might not have got recruit A 40 years ago but they got his son. In my families case they couldn’t sign my granddad or uncles except for one. But they got the one, and that trickled down to his sons and sons
no im saying I trust Mario has cards up his sleeve but doesn't mean we hit on those and until I can see those cards, its blind faith. right now, on august 17th, our WR recruiting has been iffy at best esp with a coaching staff like ours.
What makes it iffy? Only one has actually announced and that's Jalen & there's a background story for why we didn't get him. No excuses, just is what it is. Past that we've closed on two kids we prioritized and flipped one at the position & we're more than likely about a month away from flipping one other. Only thing you can lock onto and say is iffy would be if you're choosing to believe message boards and the rest spoken on by alot of people who honestly are not exactly the most informed. Hykeem is the prince of misdirection and I wouldn't pay him recruitment much attention till November at the earliest if it was me. Who else makes the position iffy? Andy Jean? Lol
im saying as of august 17th its iffy. I do trust Mario in his recruiting but doesn't mean you can worry on august 17. maybe on the 18th, it wont be an issue. I gave up jean once he decommitted tbh. I was expecting a better class committed right now at WR. now, we can land ****ey tomorrow and all this is for not. he makes that big of a diff. I just found it interesting that WR recruiting seems to be biggest pain currently when you consider the QB room
