When there is nothing good to talk about, sometimes you have to make stuff up to stroke the ego.

Don't want the kid, need elite athletes w/ speed to get open in the SEC.

I thought it became pretty apparent Jake was more enamored with the hype and popularity of playing in Austin than the actual program.

Why any good receiver would want to go there is beyond logical thinking.

Can't read the article because it's Insider.

I think we initially recruited him hard. But, I hoenestly wouldn't trade him any one of our receivers right now.

And it's funny that traitor Gary says he wants to see sustained success, because one thing that has been sustained over the past several years is Texas' lack of a passing game.

On the bright side, Jake will make one heck of an intramural player at Texas.

Two thoughts: 1. Just last weekend, a friend of mine, who is a tu fan but he is one of the somewhat reasonable ones, and I were talking about the recruiting shift. He acknowledged it has changed for the most part and will stay that way as long as we don't falter big time. However, he brought up what I thought was an awful excuse/warning 'now that every recruit wants to jump on you gotta take the top ones, thats what killed texas, not getting their guys cuz they could just take top recruits' Really? I was speechless.

2. Good luck to Jake, we wanted him months ago when our options were more limited. now they wish Cobra wanted him so they could say no, but instead they put out this. Maybe tu finds someone that can throw the ball to him. On to Gary's comments that just supplanted Mr. Thompson as the worst Ag ever. I dont give a rats ass what happens in 4 years, they will probably be middle of the road but at the top of the big 12, and Jake will be the latest senior sipper to have a 'good' career but never quite meet expectations. Regardless, I do not care, u just played down your alma maters success for whatever reason and will now apparently be sending your son and your money to tu. There is no middle ground here. Goodbye Mr. Oliver; no one will be helping you back on the maroon wagon. Don't let a sip backdoor you on the way out, they like that sort of thing.

Another thing I don't quite get; the article mentions Jake growing up and going to longhorn games all the time...who was bringing him to those games? How did he first get interested in them? With two Ag parents, how the hell does something like that happen? Terrible.

This is pure whorn spin, concocted to rally their base in the face of depressing evidence that A&M has supplanted them at the #1 school in Texas for Texas recruits. A&M just landed a 4* WR commit from Georgia/FUMA prep who was previously committed to Auburn and whose next best option was Georgia. Whorn continues to have a miserable passing offense for at least the third straight year. That's what I call a consistent trend. And you've got some poor whorn WR recruit having his heavily-spun story pimped by whorn's media partner, EsipN. It's pure gold. Lolz.

The article had some ridiculous comments from his dad that basically said A&M hasn't done anything. Ridiculously negative comments that no real Aggie would EVER say about their school. Somehow he got sideways with A&M over something. Either he was offended that we didn't recruit Jake after Sherman got let or what, but it's obvious from his comments that he's bitter about something. Otherwise you'd just say your son is happy with his committment to tu and let it stand at that. Taking uneccessary shots at A&M speaks of an axe to grind.

Gary has some weird agenda against A&M. He openly hates his alma mater. To say this season wasn't great? Wow... To downplay everything and then make the comment that we finished fifth in the SEC? So glad his son isn't coming here. From every quote I've read from him, he seems like a woman scorned.
