Also this, aggy did pretty well with total rankings, but lots of filler in there with 27 signees.  We should all be ashamed of ourselves...I, for one, feel like I need to take a bath after watching this go down.  Embarrassing...

Lol, hopefully this lights a fire under the staff to , I see Herman has started heavy on 2018 class ...We need a big season or Texas could see another NSD like this next season

Different era...Kids this generation have State pride, but they'd rather go else where to show it, specially in Texas, but we didn't help ourselves by having losing seasons 

Kids are definitely different these days.  I've seen baseball kids skip their high school seasons to focus on select ball in the summer.  

 

That's just crazy to me.  National, State, and City pride used to be a big deal to all of us including the kids.

With all of the transferring now, signing day is just for show.

They get a ton of attention and sign with the flavor of the month. Go a year, don't get the attention, and transfer.

Just wait until they start getting paid legally.

YUP, follow all the best players. The NBA, for me us unwatchable. We all know who will be in the Finals. Same thing is happening in college football. Anybody wanna make a wager against Alabama being a playoff team?

Not saying much when the big 12 was ranked last out of all power 5 schools...smh but like I said , I'm not going off this years recruiting class for Texas, 

Not saying much, but the first step for Texas is rising back to the top of the big 12.  This is a decent step in that direction.  Start winning games again and the better talent will come

Wow

 

 

 

I think ppl are taking this out of context, I feel if anything this is a good thing, the reason Texas is in this place now is because Mack got lax and Texas got soft and stopped working...If a 5* worked like a 2* or no star with a chip on it she shoulder , I guarantee you he would be better for it 

 

i for one one like the quote

It was taken completely out of context.

It was explained by Herman in his NSD press conference. 

Also answered concern about Horny on his staff. 

Very easy to tell who the smartest person in the room is.

Reporters  in Austin should take heed

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
    • Got my hotel booked...an hour away. They're having some kind of Light festival, so busy times in Nat.
