Longhorn Wealth Posted yesterday at 05:08 AM Posted yesterday at 05:08 AM (edited) As an avid fan and a sponsor, this is an honest question and slight gripe: why should my source - you guys - go radio silent when we don't get a recruit? Why not have a simple post thread created to announce the result, and then update the thread title to "BOOM" or "MISS"? As a busy business owner, I don't have the time to go hunting through pages of jawboning to try to find out the result during my day. For instance, today with Guervil, I finally slogged through tonight since when I quickly checked the threads earlier today I saw nothing, so I had no idea if he had postponed or picked another school, as I figured if he had picked us you would have at least had a BOOM type post. So tonight I first discovered in a thread that the Noon commitment time had been pushed back to 4:00pm. Then I had to go search for 4 hours laters in pages of the thread to find the answer. Seems like an easy solution is to just have Gerry or CJ create the "Guervil Commitment Decision" post thread with the scheduled time of announcement in the title. Then he simply updates it if the time gets pushed back by hours or days, and then eventually just updates it with the decision. Those who want to dive into the thread to cuss and discuss it during the day can have at it, but for those who just wanted to know what happened, it would be of great service. Seems easy enough. EXAMPLE Original Thread Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST Updated Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST - PUSHED BACK to 4:00pm CST Final Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST - PUSHED BACK to 4:00pm CST - MISS 😞 Just trying to help make it even better!

Bobby Burton Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Hi John, First of all, we were not tracking either Guervil or Henderson heavily yesterday because 24 hours earlier we knew they were going elsewhere and reported as much. So we weren’t all in on covering the final throes of those recruitments. To your point, we probably should have had a thread for the day regardless. We’ll do that better this week, starting with Okpala today. 10am. Thanks, Bobby 6 Quote
Longhorn Wealth Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago Thanks, Bobby! Candidly, sometimes am I at least a full day behind on getting to the Board or to YouTube, so just being able to jump to the Board on days of known commit announcements and getting the quick scoop would be greatly appreciated.

Hook'em! Great idea let's see if they do it however. Everybody is touchy these days as predictions seem to mean nothing with all this $$ being thrown around! Quote
