As mentioned on Monday’s ‘Coffee and Football’, recruiting is more of a team effort these days. Sark, the coordinator, and the position coach tend to be all involved in the recruitment. As I understood it, the HC got involved in special cases but now is involved in almost every player. Social media, NIL, and so many other factors require, I believe, multiple coaches working a player.

Great show

Any word on any of the a&m bats coming our way?

The app for the Longhorn Network is up and running. I looked it over a little bit and it has good possibilities. https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/home#

Many years ago I coached at Santa Maria HS, located a few miles north of the Mexican border in the RGV. Anyway, we were in the same district as Freer one year I was there. We finished our pregame warmup and were on the sideline waiting for the National Anthem and the school schools. The sun was setting and as the Freer team came running out to line up on their sideline they blocked out the setting sun. I had never seen as large a team at the 2A level ever before. They were freaking huge. We had 18 players on our team and they were close to 50 players. Needless to say we lost and lost big. Congrats to Bam Bam and good luck to the band. I donated.

I may be old and a traditionalist but I think Oregon’s uniforms are ugly.

Lowell was great and I hope he is a part of the new UT programming.

While most of these simulations are fun to watch I don’t think that they are overly realistic in terms of time management or play calling. With that being said, watch and enjoy.

Looks like a great prospect.

Excellent work, thanks.

I assume that Alabama’s ranking is more based on their head coach’s history as opposed to actual offensive talent on the team.

I think that is only for football. At least that was the discussion yesterday on OTF.

A&M fans screaming about breaking rules is laughable. Isn’t A&M still one of the most (if not the most) penalized team in NCAA history?

Finally, the NCAA is joining the 21sr century.

Fantastic

Thanks for the info and cannot wait for the next bit of info. Keep up the good work.

Would have loved to have seen him at UT.

Great work Bobby.

Cannot go wrong with either coach.

I have said this before and repeat it often, OTF is the best venue for Texas Longhorn football recruiting and UT sports in general. Bobby and Gerry are the best duo covering UT on YouTube. The rest of the crew (CJ, Rod, Blake, Coach Shipley, etc) round out a high performing team. Being an OTFOG allows me insight and coverage that is second to none, especially since there are none of the annoying threads that routinely pop up on other sites. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I just saw this info on YouTube and think it is a wonderful idea. Not only do we, the fans of UT, get unique programming (coach’s shows, pre and post game analysis, and past games) but there will opportunities for Longhorn students to get hands on experience. Unfortunately, live broadcasts do not appear to be possible but hopefully delayed broadcasts of all 21 UT sports seems likely. Plus, it is free streaming.

One great side effect of Sark and UT’s recruiting is the opening of doors down the line. For example, let us say that Williams sticks with his commitment but the Auburn coach leaves or gets fired in a year. The strong relationship he has with Sark and company could lead him back to UT through the portal.

After watching Bobby’s interview earlier today I had a question. I understood Dellenger to say that the amount of money that the schools must share will be an average of the revenue of all schoolsI across the nation. Did I understand that correctly or not? Thanks. The interview is below.

I have been a member at OB since 2004 and will be leaving them when my yearlong subscription ends later this year. I was a member at IT for two seasons and cancelled that a while back. I found OB had an interesting collection of subscribers with some interesting points of view. The ‘off topic’ threads had some good moments but often became tiresome and too abundant. Far too many subscribers went out of their way to crap all over a thread by making silly or stupid comments. Threads with serious questions were all too often greeted with childish and stupid comments by what Imrhought would be adults but turned out to be overaged children. OTF has turned into a God send. I started following the YouTube page when it had about 5,000 subscribers and loved it. When Bobby split with the IT guys I stayed and was thrilled the morning I saw Gerry being reunited with the best UT recruiting site on YouTube. I joined the webpage less than 24 hours after it was launched and see great potential in it’s growth. I believe the website will continue to grow in size and scope and will someday become the best in the business. Thanks to all the staff at OTF and keep up the great work.
