Texas insider Gerry Hamilton on Texas podcast

They must not be as confident as they say they are if they won’t be in a attendance.

Sounds like he’s getting desperate and grasping for straws. Latching onto Lindsey being out temporarily is a Hail Mary.

Claiming Colin’s decisions has anything to do with what happened to Lindsey is a weak argument.

They paysites are full of shite. People act like they go there for information but they really just go there to feel good about their program. Texas fans arent any different than other fanbases theres just a lot of them so Texas gets extra "coverage". The business model is to pump a steady flow of sunshine under the guise of "reporting" because it drives clicks which drive revenue.

Then the media consistently over-ranks them so their games get more hyped and more people watch and more people buy tickets and more people travel and more people place bets.

Their recruits consistently get over ranked because it supports the narrative that Texas is "building" its way back and kids just want to be there even if they arent winning.

So they have inflated expectations, an inflated perception of their talent level, and an inflated sense of the health of their program. Then the season hits, they go through their cycle of despair and indignation because they genuinely thought they were supposed to be good, and the cycle starts again.

Same shite happens at A&M. Collins recruitment isnt even that interesting or exciting. He's always had LSU at the top, Texas offered him a ton of $$$, LSU offered enough to still be attractive to him, so he's gonna go where he wanted to all along. Hamilton knows all of that, he's just feeding the sheep until its time for slaughter.

I need to have a whiskey with you

That is a very thoughtful theory and one that should be shown to the LA kids flirting with the Texas schools.

Texas is one bad SEC season from firing Sark.

Who could downvote this? Lol. There’s a handful of us that could literally talk recruiting until the sun came up or were too drunk to form sentences, then we would just start screaming 5 for 5 obnoxiously

About 95% of the kids you recruit, after a coach puts in days and hours, he knows if he’s getting them. He knows where he stands. Coaches know BS. One Coach told me about a kid, he’s going wherever his Dad tells him. Thats where he went.

Many times a coach has to go through other folks to get to a kid. One kid that signed with LSU, you had to go through a town preacher.

Sit down and talk with coaches that have done this over the years, they will tell you how they’ve missed on a player.

Like I always say, sometimes it’s better you lose a few, some kids playing games in recruiting, won’t be there when you need them.

Kids at their schools, are the best at their school. At LSU, they are among the best. Everyone gets the same shot, it’s what you do with it!
