Just my opinion but I believe the early commit process puts a lot of pressure on kids.  I know it is very competitive, but the current recruiting process sometimes forces kids and some families to make early decisions that are not best for the kid.... So later on when other offers, maybe better offers  come in they do what is best for them and flip.  Is that right??

Another side of that is the big head syndrome. Ive seen it time and time again the kids dont play their last year with any fire and dont listen to their coaches. Detremental to their team and safety. A kid can get hurt faster playing half speed. There are exceptions though. I.e. Earl Thomas, and hopefully D.Thompson

Great point!  A lot of that is perpetuated by the media.  Like setting dates for making a verbal commitment when kid has already committed.

ESPN doesn't help create any of this either. Plus how much money did Lebron give to the boys and girls club in Cleveland from "The Decision"? Best player in the NBA probably deserves a press conference.

at that time Kobe was the best player, can be argued KD was but the current MVP never requested a presser, he just signed the contract lol…… but anywho, I think since Baylor is in the conversation he might flip to them. Having 2 former Titans there helps also.

Something like $2.5 million. People never say anything about that though.

might not be a bad idea at this moment, these Baylor fans are going nuts over Dauphine and Kam after some of the things I've read today. Sheesh.


My experience is rarely do these kids "reopen" their recruiting and stay with their original commitment. If Baylor is a better fit for him, he should go for it. Better to switch now than to make a decision you aren't sure about. I just don't think I would be waiting around for the bomb if I'm Kliff.

      Assassination attempt on Trump - take 2

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Nah… to be completely honest, I think it goes like this.  I’m split on it.    Part of me says that there’s a segment of voters who believe that trump should be the ruler, whatever that means. It’s about 25% of R voters according to polls. They’re the hardcore Trump loyalists… the kind of people who would travel to DC in the winter to hear Trump speak at a rally, then ransack the Capitol… maybe trump doesn’t believe his own “you’ll never have to vote again” rhetoric-but he’s just throwing red meat to the fascism supporting minority of the R party. Kinda like he does when he says racist crap to fire up the minority of his followers (cough, Baddog, cough) who really don’t like brown skins or foreigners. You know, Trump doesn’t really want unilateral power, he just needs to whip up his voters who think he should have unilateral power. It’s possible, right? Then the other side of me sees who he was willing to say or do ANYTHING to remain in office, even after it became obvious that he didn’t have the votes. The fact that he refuses to accept reality as late as the debate last week makes me think, “no… this guy is the real deal, willing to do ANYTHING to get back in office and then willing to do anything to keep it and/or hand it off to his heir apparent.     Over time, things have ping-ponged back and forth between monarchies/fascists who get overrun by the masses, then that form of government (populist) erodes to the point where a strong man seizes power.  I think we fought off socialism/communism as a republic and in 2024 we’re fighting off a facist-style movement where enough of the population has enough faith in one leader to give them absolute power.    But that’s just my opinion. Trump and his hardcore followers (the ones who aren’t in prison for their 1/6 activities represent the biggest internal threat to our democracy that we’ve seen in my lifetime.  The fact that it’s originating from “my” side is what’s particularly troubling to me. I would have expected the left to converge around a popular leftist, not the right.

      Trump to appear on Fox News Channel's 'Gutfeld!' Wednesday night

      I don’t tune in all the time, but I do like Kat. I’m know the studio audience and tv audience enjoyed the show.

      Lufkin Panthers (2-1) @ Tyler High (2-1) @ CTMF Rose Stadium, Friday, September 20, 2024 at 7 PM.

      It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊
