4 confidence is nothing, might as well not even put a pick in.

Not sure if it means anything, but I’m yet to find anything lower than a 5 in his picks.

I truly think he’s flipping a coin and doesn’t really know.



That's a 60% confidence in his book. Roach has a great source in the Simmon's circle, but I wouldn't worry about that medium confidence update. Nobody outside of the immediate family has a clue where he's going.

I do know Momma prefers Texas and the UT NIL deal is unmatchable. Is that enough to overcome his first love though?

The guy has been recruiting for us for weeks now. He loves Texas. We don’t need to be hyperbolic just because he might like LSU a bit more. If he goes to Texas its not like hes going to secretly keep a picture of mike the tiger in his wallet.

This is why I kept asking did anyone have any pics or Intel about the mom on the visit.

The mom doesn't always win out. He has said family is most important to him. Little bro has autism.

Could go either way.

Ask yourself… what is the benefit for a kid like this to go to lsu? Texas will be in the sec.

Other than the obvious fact Texas hasn’t been relevant since Vince Young and compared to LSU, puts 0 dudes into the league, amongst countless other things?

If he picks UT I know this will just sound like I'm being a hater, but isn't it sad when a kid literally says his heart wants to go to one school but the other one is just offering too much money?

I know in the real world we all go where the money is so this is somewhat hypocritical. But it's college.

I don't even get emotionally wrapped up in what a high school football player does.

Or after year one when Texas doesn’t go to a bowl game, he can just transfer to LSU

After falling for Surtain a few years ago, Matthews and Ricks last year… I’m trying my best to tell myself he’s going to Texas!
