Ok Moose, we will be moving this timely information somewhere else because of you being too sensitive to hear information coming from somewhere else other than Jeremy. Thought this being a message board the readers would be interested. We were wrong.

For the other readers here I would advise you all to watch where Darwin makes his decision to visit. Minnesota or Arkansas. Wherever Darwin chooses will be TCU’s toughest competition to keep Darwin in the Gold.

Go Horn Frogs!
So if he pays his own way for a second visit to one school, he's more interested in that school than another school he doesn't pay to visit.

Got it.

With this guy's posts, there is also a hint of the MBA2020 guy.

Moose falls for it hook, line and sinker.

Why do you think I put, “go Horn Frogs”?

You believe in trolls and conspiracies.

And I did give you information that Jeremy has yet to provide in Darwin will visit either Arky or Minny because Jeremy does not have this info.

Darwin is a hell of a person and great football player. Wherever he goes God bless this young man and his family.
I could have told you this exact information based on nothing but what Jeremy has posted. To whit:

- Barlow is exploring his options
- He might be re-visiting one of his OV schools

That narrows down the list to his OV schools. Then you add some unverifiable subjective fluff about him liking the coaches at each school, which is probably true, but again that’s pretty easily known from the fact that he took OVs there. Then you tell us that whichever school he goes to is our stiffest competition - again, this is true, but it’s so idiotically obvious that it doesn’t even need to be stated.

I also don’t think you’re a troll, mostly because this is a really stupid thing to troll about. I just think that you believe your “inside info” is way deeper inside than it actually is.

In fact let’s think about this. You said that your source close to Barlow is the one who told you about the stuff on the other board. That same source is feeding you info about Barlow. I suspect your “inside info” source is literally just rephrasing JC’s posts to make it sound like it’s coming from the family or Barlow himself.

I do not have an account on the other site. But the person who is close to Darwin does, and texted me what was said.

I’m not a troll and I’m not getting my information from Jeremy.

Here is new information given to me from person close to Darwin that either Jeremy does not have or feels uncomfortable in giving out.

Darwin Barlow has narrowed down his options as of today. Darwin will be visiting either Arkansas or Minnesota again for the 2nd time. Barlow will go with his family and pay his way since it won’t be an OV. Darwin loves the coaches at Minnesota. Darwin loves the location and culture of Arkansas. Darwin has some people at Arkansas who he is very close to and also family.

When Darwin makes his decision on where he will visit I will post here as soon as I can. Darwin won’t be visiting Kansas as was thought just 1 day ago. TCU is not out of it at all when it comes to Darwin’s recruitment. Darwin loves the TCU community. But Arkansas and Minnesota are now in play.

I am for one am thankful for the insight. No one else has the BALLS to say that if a current commit visits another school, it is likely that he has interest in that school.

Joe2001 - we need you on that wall. And if you come up with more non-insight, don't hesitate to share.

That's good stuff right there. Great post as a guide for future recruiting seasons. The goal is to be better than OU going forward if we want to dethrone them. What does this same chart over the same time period look like for Oklahoma and Texas?

sure this has been discussed in the past on this site, but EVER? i would guess since the rating services have been keeping track which is what 20-25 years?

that would include classes such as wacker's class with davis, delaney, giles, benson, newton, and a couple of big offensive linemen. if i am not mistaken that was the top class in the swc.

I didn’t pull all years for them, but here is 2019

Comparison in the conference:

UT 137 offers, 20 commits, nationally ranked 6, first in Big12, 91.28 ave rating, 2 decommits.

OU 172 offers, 17 commits, nationally ranked 8, second in B12, 91.78 ave rating, 7 decommits.

Worth noting, UT is the first team in the top 10 without a 5 star recruit. OU with 2 of them.

So nationally our struggles this year appears to have hurt us a little bit in recruiting but I doubt it translates on the field. I still think you have to get inside the top 18 to really close the talent gap on the traditional powers.

Well I’m not sure what it means really as I am not that up to speed in how rankings are determined. But if you’re looking at average rating per player it’s down a little bit, but you’re talking really minute differences. National rating is 30 now, but we’re only at 20 commits. I’d imagine that will change a little if/when we add a few more guys after early signing day.
