Who’s the other edge on our board?

BPW, Carlton and Henderson are taken 

Kreul? Barnes?

IT said that Carlton was giving a potentially ridiculous offer from Tech that other schools aren’t willing to match…fun

[Uthookem4800]

@Bobby Burton this seems a personal vendetta to stick it to Texas you can see with Lee Hunter, David Bailey, Felix Ojo, now Jamarion Carlton? It’s just not a coincidence.

I trust Sark and this staff

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

I think Ojo and Carlton are good prospects and all but they may be the two most over ranked players in Texas if not the country. Overpaying for them is something aggy would do… tech is making some interesting decisions after blowing a ton of money on their admittedly good portal haul.

Sark and his team have a proven track record of success when it comes to player evaluations.

Walgreens made a lot of money by placing stores wherever there is a McDonald's.

Texas Tech will do well in the Big 12 by poaching players Texas thinks are going to be stars.  Imitation is still the highest form of flattery.

At this point… nothing would surprise me.

So tech will have their transfer class, Ojo and Carlton and then who? lol they won’t have anymore rev share $ to give out at this pace

Some think the way to make a name for yourself is to try to target the brand that matters most.

Love the word “potentially” in that reporting.

I think offers like that are going to be common. We’ll see what recruits want to do with it.

Frankly, Tech hasn’t done a whole hell of a lot with the players they have recruited from high school.

This was what was meant by “fake money”. Most of these deals are contingency deals, I.e., if the settlement is struck down, here is your pay. These are risky deals because I guarantee you these schools are selling the fact that the settlement will get struck down.

Spurning Texas for Texas Tech is literally spurning a HC with pro experience and connections for a HC who’s spent the majority of his career in HS. 
 

Short sighted is an extreme euphemism. But it’s honestly a great filter. Guys with a HS/Texas Tech mindset are probably not who we want in our locker room.

Not sure if they will be able to afford to keep their existing roster in place but with their existing roster perhaps they don’t want to.

So, are we adding up all these offers? Between softball and football they aren’t at the 20 million yet?  Who is going to enforce this sh$t

Tech better make the Big XII Championship game or it’s bye bye Joey time!

[4thandFive]

I’m not worried about “Tech sticking it to Texas.”

 

Honestly, Texas being in the SEC, having Top 5 talent, Arch (then Lacey/Bell), we really don’t have a reason to worry about what Tech does. 
 

Lubbock can do Lubbock, we’ll HookEm and win it all.

Kreul? Barnes?

Kreul is a pure pass rusher Buck, behind Collin for 1 year. Would be ideal. 
Henderson is a do it all Buck. Would be great. 
Carlton is a Jack, same as Wesley, good player, times his jump well but isn’t a great pass rusher. 
BPW is a Jack, might be a 3tech but needs 25-30 lbs. 

I don’t prefer BPW or Carlton bc both play Jack, we need a Buck for sure. 

Barnes has some intrigue for sure, seems to be able to do a lot. Can play Buck and might grow into a Jack.

Nobody. That’s the problem with NCAA, make rules but no cops to enforce. 
Also, no balls when they do have evidence.

I'm impressed that the Tech boosters are spending so much money on their team. Hope it pays off for them.

Sounds childish doesn’t it.  They are picking on us.  If they want to use their money like this, they can.

We evaluate really well, maybe they are just using our evals on players they know they can out $$$ us.

I hope a meteorite hits their stadium and they all blow up, and  it catches their oil fields on fire, and all their profits go up in smoke.  But also not upset about the 2 we lost.  But still the blowing up thing regardless.

The fact that Carlton posted horns up in the Ojo livestream and then this post tells me everything I need to know about wanting him on the team.  I hope they withdraw his offer if that is possible.
