That InsideTexas bit about “Jalen Brewster & Texas Tech expected to part ways, with Brewster likely to end up at LSU”

I don't think that article mentioned where Brewster would end up. It mentioned multiple schools. It DID say that he was not expected to stay with Texas Tech.

:rolleyes: Right back at you, a-hole! Not my fault that your despicable excuse of a human being Cody Campbell FLAT OUT LIED that they were trying to "help the young man". If Sorsby was a 3rd string WRer, they would dumped him like yesterday's garbage.

I have no idea what you are talking about. :dunno: I have reread my posts and NEVER blamed the kids or their families for the current situation. In fact, if anything, I blamed the universities for making this NIL situation much worse by OVERPAYING for players who had not proven themselves to be worth the money.

And yeah, I will repeat that Texas Tech is the BIGGEST PIMP university in college football. And please, don't be so naive to think that Texas Tech would not have FEIGNED concern for Sorsby and his future in football if he had been a 3rd string WR.

Why wouldn't texas tech put up much of a fight?

I will admit that article surprised me a bit too, but I can think of one reason why Texas Tech might want to let this one slide. And yes, we all know that everyone is paying NIL money like a Vegas slot machine hitting the jackpot. Having said that, Texas Tech right now is looking like the BIGGEST PIMP of college football due to the Sorsby fiasco. Perhaps, it would not be the best PR in the world to just accentuate this current appraisal by making sure they are the top bidder if it comes down to money. JMHO.

Perhaps you missed that Cam Johnson improved to have a decent year at OU this year

:rotflmao: Perhaps you missed that his ERA was 4.36 for OU this season...decent might be a stretch.

I trust both coaches history of success.

As far as Johnson goes, next year is going to be interesting. Since you keep bringing up conferences, let's stick with that theme. Here are Johnson's records in the SEC in 5 years at LSU. 17-13, 19-10, 13-17, 19-11, and 9-21. As another poster mentioned several weeks ago, his SEC record is meh to be kind. What has his reputation up there is 2 NC and 7-1 in Omaha. But he isn't exactly Skip Bertman.

I am not wrong...you are wrong is your appraisal of both Cam Johnson at LSU and OU and Paz at LSU. Neither has been as advertised and all your opinions can't compete with stats. I won't miss Paz at all with his 9.20 ERA and basically 1 BB per IP.

Not shallow...and you don't know the competition that each pitcher faced...unless you are trying to say you checked every game's box score they pitched in...try again. That EXCUSE was a total FAIL!

Yeah, fans aside, when you sign a monster deal and don't perform up to that contract, no one is exactly going to shower you with rose petals.

The only way to get this guy is to pay more than Tech. It’s as simple as that.

Actually, I don't think it is that cut and dried. Does money mean a lot these days? Of course it does. But on the margins, relationships still matter if the money is close. And Ryan Day along with a lot of other coaches think Ed Orgeron is the best DL coach in college football. Once again, the money has to be in the same area code, but I don't believe for 1 second that that the highest bidder is going to win every time. It is NOT as simple as that IMO.

As I mentioned to Sunnydaze the standard EXCUSE is to bring up the EXCEPTIONS for the surprise stars and not the many, many others who are evaluated perfectly and are what the recruiting services AND the universities say they are. BTW, so what is the EXCUSE why Burney's offers are poor? And make no mistake about it, they are SPARSE.

As far as Chase's 40 time out of HS, I have no idea what it was and don't give a shite. We are not talking Jamar Chase are we?

And you PRETEND to be an expert every year. I will never forget your prediction of Charles Ross II. You acted like he was going to be an impact player as a TR FR! Hey, he did make 1 tackle. :lol: I said I saw very little in his highlights...you made yet another foolish evaluation.

I do agree with Burney's 40 time of 4.51. He showed little speed on his highlights.

They said the same thing when DJ Chark and Russell Gage committed

I agree with some others that this was a reach. His highlights are not that exciting...his offers are not impressive at all (247 Sports didn't even have an offer from LSU but I guess that was dated info)....and for those who like to quote stars, not high there either.

To your point, I always :lol: when people bring up players who defied meh. How many times was "meh" said and it turned out to be spot on. Bringing up EXCEPTIONS is a weak argument...always has been. Another weak argument is trusting ANY coach to be 100% perfect on appraisals. Once again, unless 247 Sports was faulty, until recently he didn't even have an LSU offer. IMO, which we are ALLOWED to do that here, it should have stayed that way. Time will tell whether he is a diamond in the rough. RIght now, the grass looks awfully deep. :rotflmao:
