I don't want any lineman that uses the hashtag #blessed

The 6-foot-5, 281-pound four-star prospect says there were several college coaches there to see him.
"We started spring football today," the nation's No. 96 overall composite prospect said on Monday evening. "Coach (Dave) Christensen from (Texas) A&M came out there today. I saw TCU, UTEP and Texas too. Some other schools came by while I was in class, I believe."
After practice, Delance found out that Mineola offensive linemen Austin Anderson and Riley Anderson had committed to the Aggies on Monday so he called Christensen to talk about that development.
"I just got off the phone with coach Christensen as well," Delance said. "I had seen that the two Anderson brothers had committed to A&M. I called him to reassure him that we still have that connection and that he still knows how interested I am in A&M.
"I don't want them to give up on me or stop recruiting me because they think I'm not still interested."
Delance says there is a reason he wanted to make sure the Aggies were aware of his interest.
"That's a great school and they're right there at the top," he said of A&M. "That's possibly where I'll end up it's one of my favorites so I wanted to make sure he knew that. He told they were still dying to have me and he just wanted me to know that I have a spot there.
"He said I had the opportunity if I wanted to come on board there. He said he wasn't going to rush me to commit or anything but he did say it's a great time to make that decision if I want to."
Delance, who decommitted from Oklahoma in early March, does not have a timeframe for a decision this time around but wants to be more sure than he was last time.
"I don't know," he said as to his timeframe for a commitment. "I rushed into things last time and made that decision pretty quickly, basically on my own. I'm not going to rush into it again. I want my mom to be involved.
"I have to see a few more places just to be sure and get a feeling for everybody."
In addition to A&M, Delance says a few other schools stand out as well.
"It's mainly SEC schools," he said. "That's what I'm really liking. USC is up there as well. I like Florida and Ohio State too. I'm probably going to take one of my officials [to Ohio State]."
Currently, Delance's Crystal Ball has 53 percent of the predictions for Texas A&M, 27 percent for Oklahoma, 13 percent for TCU and 7 percent for Texas.
quote:Charles and WIckline are chasing every in-state OL prospect as vigorously as they possibly can. Of course they can't chase too hard when they know that it's wasted effort. There are only 2 OL available in the state of Texas that are equal or better than the Andersons, and Chobbit and Wickline don't have a prayer for either. Kellen Diesch is leaning heavily toward OU, and Cobra and staff are just waiting to seal the deal with Jean DeLance. Time for Charles and Wickline to use some more of those frequent flier miles.quote:Offered, yes. I don't know how strongly Texas was pursuing them. I don't know if we'll get anybody better, but we may.
Simple question, RV. Did or did not tu offer and recruit these two guys?
quote:My God you are adorable. Keep clinging to that, and prepare for disappointment.
So, now you will tell me you're proud of three star Summy and the prospect of a class full of two and three stars to go along with a couple of highly ranked receivers?
quote:Sure it did.
The 3 star Charlie moniker came from sumlin taking who he wanted FIRST. And then leaving Charlie the leftovers, which were primarily 3 stars and lower, at nearly every position.
Texas signed 23 players in 2015 without a Sumlin offer. Most of them were rated 3 stars or lower. The only players Charlie got that had sumlin offers were rated 4 stars and up.
Understand?
In the Andersons' case, they both were highly coveted by both Charlie Strong and O-fer Wickline. Their rating is irrelevant when they had commitable offers from both schools.

So, I may conclude that you will be content with 2 and 3 star recruits as long as they chose A&M over Texas?

No. Obviously we aren't content with that. That's why we sign so many 4 & 5 stars, unlike Charlie. I think we signed more 4/5 stars than we did 3 stars.

quote:quote:Swing and a miss. It makes me sad that you call me an idiot. I'm glad you're not my doctor.quote:I did address it you idiot. I'll be happy with a class that actually has OL kids from the state of Texas instead of relying on some false, pie in the sky hope in Charlie's ability to open up any state in the nation to his wondrous recruiting efforts and get kids from those states who are better than Texas kids. I'm waiting on Charlie and the sips to praise the new Montana or Maine pipeline he's opened up since the Florida one is dried up due to the product coming out of there being too stupid to grade qualify at THE University.quote:I'm deluded about Sumlin raking in 2 and three star players early in the process?
Looks like RVwhorn is setting new standards for sip delusion. Something difficult to do, but he is managing it. Didn't think it was possible.
I'm deluded that the consensus around here was that "Chollie" was a failure for doing the same thing?
I guess I"ve also deluded myself that no one on the thread is addressing those points.
I guess you'll be happy with a class loaded with 2 and 3 star players and not worry about your hypocrisy at all. Anybody who points it out can be dismissed as "delusional." Nice gig if you can get it.
