Andrew Billings

[FeistyFrog]

Yes less than 24 hours away and still several unknowns so unlike the last few years there should be some excitement following who signs and doesn't. A couple of links if interested:

Andrew Billings is scheduled to announce this afternoon (3pm) on Dave Smoak's show. Most of us can't get it except streaming so here is the link (ESPN 1660 Waco/Temple)

I don't think anyone could tell with certainty who they think Billings will pick but BU seems to have a slight edge but it is too close to call.



TCU's signing day central link:

Lots of last minute texting going on from potential players so should be fun. Look for some possible swaps and a possible late developing big WR from the metroplex.

If we lose a recruit to Baylor we really need to figure out where it went wrong.

I had thoughts similar to Cain. It took LSU 2 in-homes, an official, several unofficials, multiple camps, and getting another kid to drop his commitment before LSU decided they wanted to offer local boy Duke Riley. I can understand his interest in them, but I am not so sure that LSU was that reciprocal in their interest.

We should only lose QBs and WRs to Baylor. I can't think of a single reason to go to Baylor over TCU.

Very serious. Really in most all situations we should probably figure out how we can do a better job, but especially Baylor. They are our most direct rival right now for recruits, and they have zero advantages over us outside of QB/WR.

I love me some Kenny Cain.

Or OL or DT.

Same here. It seems like he has a decent relationship with Duke, so maybe Duke will listen to what he's saying and change his mind. I'm not going to get my hopes up on that though.

Ok, I'll bite. Big, or big time?

Newhouse and Cannon are doing alright in the league.

Ok since you are serious I'll bite....

"If we lose a recruit to Baylor.."

Ummm, we already have... Blanchard, KJ Smith, Rhodes.

"We need to figure out where it went wrong"

Well for starters... Fresh in recruits minds are Baylor winning the Heisman, beating K-State, looking like the hottest team in cfb down the stretch, & winning their bowl game. Also they get a boatload of players drafted HIGH. For us it is a drug bust, a DWI QB, a 7-6 finish, and an "oops I crapped my pants" performance in a bowl game.

Look, I'm not saying I think the sky is falling or anything. Just that given the last two years it's not really surprising that Baylor is getting some kids that we want now. Momentum, they has it.

Also Billings is from Waco so him choosing BU would be anything but a shocker. In fact I would be more shocked if he chose us over the almighty UT aaaand his Hometown team.

We didn't lose Blanchard. They offered, we didnt.

 

[talor]

Newhouse and Cannon are doing alright in the league.

And yet Baylor had 2 OL guys taken in the 1st round of the NFL draft in the past 4 years and a DT as well.

Stop talking.

We offered...

Excerpt from Scout article with Blanchard interview:

http://tcu.scout.com/2/1227901.html

"Now, interest seems to be setting in at an all-time for the nation’s no. 36 rated safety prospect. A lot of that interest is coming from his original favorite; TCU, who offered Blanchard over the summer. Even after receiving the offer, Blanchard remained strong to his commitment to Baylor."

Stop talking.
