BearsTruth Board

i thought the exact same thing, Chesh. i felt compelled to go and read it, so i could see for myself how ridiculous it was, but it completely exceeded my expectations in its absurdity.

basically, the only thing that should matter to a recruit is the name of the school...unless you're just not good enough on paper to play there.

specifically, on his comments on Rhodes, i love how he said that he should have NFL aspirations that won't be met at Baylor, yet fails to acknowledge that this year will be the 2nd straight year we've had a 1st Rd WR, and Sampson will probably be drafted in the later rounds. Throw in Gettis from 2010, and Gordon from 2012, and Baylor will have put 5 WRs in the draft (assuming Sampson gets drafted), over the past 4 years.

According to Marty Herbst and Blake Munroe(who surprise writes for the 247 Texas recruiting site and whose source was Marty Herbst) he gave a secret verbal commitment, yet his parents and Andrew himself denied ever giving a verbal to Texas...

But your tears are heard loud and clear.

most blatant attempt at fishing for a reaction? if not, then it's up there...

I was banned for a year from ag board for aproximately .5% of Longhorn Laterals statement!

First, bleacher report...

Second, what a mistake it'd be for Rhodes or any receiver to go to a place like UT and its staff that doesn't have a clue about how to use a receiver. Rhodes specifically said he didn't like how UT used their receivers. He'd be taking a huge risk with his career putting it in the hands of Mack and his staff. It's just beyond stupid to think Rhodes is better off at UT. Not even close. He'd have a better shot at the pros at SMU than UT the way things are going right now.

As for Billings, only his coach said he made a secret commit to the horns. Billings and his family denied that, and had to constantly counter everything the coach was relaying to the UT site. In reality, the competition for Billings was between Baylor and TCU. UT was making a desperate late charge, even lying to the kid to try and get him. You can't expect that strategy to work.

But, again, the most ridiculous statement is that Rhodes would be better off in Austin. Even if Mack wanted to throw the ball (I guess he's decided he wants to do that again after experimenting with the Bama offense), who the hell is going to get the ball to him? The OC situation has been jumbled in Austin for four years, and the QB development is showing it. Rhodes knows not only does Briles put receivers in the league, but he coaches up and prepares his QBs too. He knows someone already on campus is going to be getting the ball to him. At UT? It's a crap shoot. Does Ash finally figure it out on his own? Can Brewer get the coaching at a camp somewhere to be the man? After that it's a list of guys waiting to transfer or find another position to play on the field.

This is why UT is in a state of frustration. Dodds and the fans think it's about how often you're on TV. To heck with results and wins. And that's the kids you attract to your program: guys who want to be on TV and that's it. By all means, take the prima donas off everyone's hands. Tell them they're awesome and special when they lose and put them on TV regardless if they deserve it or not, and continue to wonder why your players have no edge, are uninspired, and drowning in entitlement.

Two network aggys in one day coming over here to talk smack. Yeah, things are going real well in Austin.

Sour grapes. Bleacher Report is nothing but a network of t-shirt fans and arm chair quarterbacks pretending to be sports reporters. Rhodes had A LONG TIME to decide. He chose Baylor. I am sure he heard all kinds of blather such as the OP and BR are spewing. He made the right choice for him. But it is fun to watch other fanbases get worked into a frenzy because they didn't win every recruiting battle.

LOL

Texas fans are a little sore in the nether regions after getting bent over yesterday by multiple Big 12 and SEC teams.

Sounds like Conner needs to buy you some shots.

Welcome to the board, Mack. How is Major?

Don't rag on Valero... they sponsor the greatest bowl that Baylor has ever played in!

There is no meaningful distinction between offering someone and conditioning their offer on a visit, something we know UT did do, when the recruit's choice (to visit or not) is the deciding factor. The only reason you do that is so your fans can later say "well, we didn't actually offer!" when the intent to do so was clear the entire time. If Jefferson had visited, he would have been offered. He turned you down more than you did the opposite.

What do you mean you can't have Pringles for breakfast?!?!

AT&T is hidden? Where the hell do you live?
