RaiderPower.com
Yes, that's the Scout forum "Inside the Red Raiders," which is a leading Tech fan board. But RaiderPower.com was previously another leading Tech fan site -- I think an independent board, like KillerFrogs -- that has been linked here often in past seasons. Unless I'm missing something, it's now apparently out of business and looking for new backing.Not sure how you got to that Deep but here's a link to their forum. They're currently aggravated by the news that their number 1 receiver from last year announced he is transferring tonight...

No, that was helpful. You obviously know more about the Raider boards than me. In the past, I just googled RaiderPower and clicked on it. Never noticed whether it was a Scout board. But the current Scout board is titled Inside the Red Raiders and makes no mention of RaiderPower.com. And when you click on RaiderPower.com from Google, you get that "available for possible new business opportunities" message. If Inside the Red Raiders was in the past called RaiderPower.com, maybe there's been a legal change in brand names?Well that scout forum has always been known as RaiderPower to me for years...it's the only one I've ever used. If they somehow changed names I guess I never really noticed it. In fact if you google Raiderpower i believe it comes up as the scout site. It could be that scout indeed bought raiderpower then and just migrated accounts over or something. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Very confusing.

Too much rectum in the techdom.The announcement letter Giles tweeted out was basically a cut-and-paste of Fehoko's from January. Some weird ish going on in Lubbock. Two of their best players, both lifelong Tech fans, choosing to leave the program abruptly.

Yeah, that is a big deal. A few are playing it down over there as Giles suffered a spring demotion and they can claim he was not a starter but this guy had 1100 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns last year. Far and away their best production. Huge loss. No telling how many players have quit that team over the last year. Unless they have a QB that can carry the team they could be terrible.
How ironic that the school that brags most about alumni numbers and fans and such can't even fill up their own forum...Well you have actually shed some light on things that I've wondered for a while and perhaps this sheds some back. I quit posting over there for a long time because most of the Tech posters there are just not based in reality it seems and when I started lurking again and posting ever so often it seemed as if the board was far less populated than before.
I mean there used to be constant new threads and busy threads and now, you're lucky to see maybe 5 new threads over 1-2 days. It just seemed very depopulated and slow to me. So maybe there was some sort of business turnover or mishap of some sort that led to changes or the original site finally being put up for sale.
Very confusing and odd indeed but your questioning actually helps me understand now why that site seems far more inactive than what I remembered.

Below is a look at retention rates and numbers around the Big 12 for players signed in 2014 and 2015, Kingsbury's first two full recruiting classes as he joined Tech in December of the 2013 cycle.
The attrition rate is alarming to say the least . For example Texas, who is down and recently went through a coaching change, has more guys still on the roster from the 2015 class (21) than Tech has from the 2014 and 2015 classes combined (17).
My method is simple; I am cross referencing each team's signing class with their spring roster. If a guy on the commit list isn't on the roster a simple search usually explains why in a minute or so.
Here's a list of percentages representing how much each program has retained from their respective 2014 and 2015 classes:
Here are the actual numbers for each team:
- UT: 73%
- TCU: 71%
- BU: 68%
- WVU: 57%
- OKST: 57%
- K-State: 57%
- OU: 56%
- KU: 52%
- ISU: 49%
- Tech: 37%

Not challenging your #'s but surprised Baylor's turnover isn't higher. What am I missing?
