Street Agents?

take the comic books we made a few years back. there wasn't anything "that" bad about them but once the ncaa said, "that's crossing the line a bit" we stopped. same with when we used to fly recruits in on a private plan - the ncaa told us (and others) to stop that practice and we did. the people from texas are just pissed that we keep taking their best players, hahaha

Exactly. Our national title team is lead by a bunch of Texans & we just nabbed 2 of the top players in the state in back to back years. They're just pissed some to from the NW is out recruiting them for kids in their own state. And they're supposed to have the state on lock down, Texas gets who they want & everyone gets their left overs.

Considering that Texas invented recruiting violations, I have no sympathy. They can't be upset if someone beats them with their own tactics.

Agreed. One scholarship RB that's NOT from Texas (KB) will be on the depth chart next year. Got DT, Cantu, Marcus Davis transfer (different circumstance but still helps the pipeline), Wallace coming in, etc. Not too shabby of a pipeline we have going if I must say so myself.

I see no problem with signing guys Texas didn't even want... At least not until Texas began losing and got jealous of the fact the guys they ignored are stars for the Ducks.

Texas can't get every recruit out of TX so some are bound to end up elsewhere, sometimes way out here in Oregon.

There are so many recruits out of California, Texas and Florida so the in-state schools can't take all of them, besides Texas didn't even recruit guys like LMJ, DT, Carson, etc. because they were not blue chip high 4-5* players or they didn't fit their style of play so their fans can whine all they want. Texas has most of their recruits locked up very early comprised of almost entirely high 4-5 star guys so I don't feel bad just because they had a losing season.

[woundedknees]

So we're in agreement... Texas is like the whiny brat who wanted all the treats and toys at the birthday party for himself, tummy aches be darned!

Wasn't the same thinking part of the reason we aren't getting ready to celebrate the PAC16?

I watched the 30for30 on SMU & how dirty it's been in Texas (not just SMU) so I have no sympathy for those folks. I'm sure most of this still goes on everywhere. They were some creative people in how they filtered the money.

the 500 hundred dollar handshake is still in vogue at some SChools
