Life is like a roll of toilet paper. It goes faster toward the end. Make the most of today!

At least staff can really focus on game prep and development. Less of a need to focus on recruiting (even though I’m sure they will still focus on it). Previous years it seemed like extra effort was needed to put into recruiting during the season to make a class.

feels great to be out of the hole (um, crater), doesn't it?
I wonder what our pitch to Eberhart entails, gotta think the staff is giving it all they got. We are recruiting him as a DB correct?
Practically everything points to being a done deal for Oklahoma.
Not always. Had we just landed either tight end (which looked very likely for about 95% of the proccess) it would've been very much up there in terms of an elite class.
Wouldn't bet anything more than around 35 for where it ends up on signing day (unless we get a major flip). Another thing to pay attention to is our guys in that 600-1,000 range seem to mostly be on the downward trend in terms of the ranking. Whether these guys individually are able to keep (or better) their status is also a huge factor when we talk about class rank.

I'm sure pruman91 will hit the portal next year looking for more NL time...
Basco & Augusta, IL weren't on my Bingo card today...Mom was a Fountain Green farm girl, but great Grandmother was in Plymouth. Most people I know from that area start with they are from Hancock County, not the actual city
I thought I heard Curt Schilling had some connections to Dallas City, but not seeing anything on his Wiki page
Had the town wrong, & it looks like he was a few miles outside Hancock County, + not sure the 1-2 years as a toddler is a great example...but
"According to his Facebook page, Schilling lived in Blandinsville in 1971-72. His late father, Cliff, spent 22 years in the U.S. Army. ... Cliff Schilling had been stationed with the ROTC unit at Western Illinois University."

very unlikely its anyone but OU for eberhart. doesn't take a ton of digging after you look at his X account, all the Sooner pics, recent national buzz.

Agreed. If the national folks start shifting our way there may be something there.
Until then, I’d guess OU.
Its exactly what Alan Trieu wrote on 247.
Just sharing what I’m hearing…That’s all I’m going to say on this…
