Turntine is a great get now move on to the next one. Dont worry about losing ojo. Good luck to him but fucos on who we have and not the ones that go elsewhere

IT had an update on DE Jamarion Carlton of Temple and they said it's another recruitment where Tech could be making a late move.

If accurate, they're saying the numbers are "significant" and be prepared for Texas and others to pass.

So, a revenue share contract means that is directly paid by the school, right?

Behind the scenes....pfff. doesn't take a genius to figure this one out. It's not because he thinks Tech is in a better position for a NC.

Good!!!!

UT grad, longtime UT recruiting follower, and rare poster. I'm getting a bit weary of how things have changed in recruiting over the past year or so. NIL / Portal - both I think are overall negatives and are ruining college football. It is nuts that UT has struck out on so many good recruits over the past couple of weeks...recruits that we seemed to be strongly in the mix for. I get it, it's still early. And Sark somehow pulls out a great recruiting class every year. However, it's not just what is the best school and who can best develop the players anymore. For a Texas Tech to come in at the last minute and flip Ojo, that's pretty indicative of where things are at. What five-star player would want to go play 3-4 years in Lubbock in the lousy Big 12? Really? It truly is all about the $$$ now. Who can pony up the most. $5.1 mil for a high school player to play college ball? Really? I wish Ojo the best, but I agree that Sark should fold his tent with this guy.

Lol so salty

How'd things go with the last 5 star y'all got?

Not for Ojo

From Burton at OTF this morning...

"The goal for any major team will be to increase the pot of NIL money players can receive by increasing a program’s third-party NIL. So legitimate third-party NIL is recruiting’s next battleground. From my first-hand conversation yesterday, leadership of the Texas athletic department is well aware of and focused on just that."

Everybody's pissed at Tech for getting ahead of the curve

Aww man I knew it! I told Cody and he just didn't listen. Now we'll never get anyone else!

lol. Funny. And the million dollar pitcher did take you a ways, but just not a championship. Who was it that won ? Oh yes, the Horns !
Did you see the film of Wesley and Ojo ?
But seriously, I hope you guys win the Big 12. You are a Texas team. Always pull for Texas teams.

blake, with the 5 star meltdown

[chubbs]

tbh while it would have been nice to get him, its not a huge loss either. no way ojo was going to start this year, and maybe not even next year. the kind of bag he got would be a lot to pay him when there are other positions of greater need. prioritize OT next year when the money would be more well spent.

Yeah I'm here for the horn meltdown.

The "well we don't want him any way" is hilarious.
