SAN ANTONIO — As the straight-line recruiting movement in Texas continues to grow, all 12 FBS head football coaches in the state talked at length on the topic Sunday. That includes second-year Baylor coach Dave Aranda, who took part in his first FBS coaches panel as the coach of the Bears on Sunday. As part of the annual Texas High School Coaches Coaches Association Convention, Sunday saw the 12 men tasked with leading the 12 biggest college football programs in the state talking about football-related issues in front of hundreds of high school coaches. Among those, the increasingly-popular straight-line recruiting, in which college coaches go straight to the high school coach in recruiting, rather than through a third party. "I think when we'll have to worry is when out-of-state schools come in here to recruit Texas kids," new Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. For Aranda, the panel was a chance to show his appreciation for Texas high school coaches. read more: https://www.kcentv.com/article/sports/baylor-football-coach-joins-straight-line-recruiting-pledge/500-dbb5b005-0ebc-47ac-bef5-6c17c91b9967

The Rise of Skywalker Speaking of transfers, is North Texas transfer Jason Bean (pictured above) the quarterback of the future? Well since this is the optimistic article, I’ll tell you yes, of course he is. The second he stepped on campus, he became one of the fastest players on the roster, and in 8 games last year, he posted a 14-5 TD-INT ratio for the Mean Green. If this coaching staff can figure out a way to get Bean into space and/or give him any time at all in the pocket, his 54% completion percentage should dramatically improve. That’s easier said that done, but keep in mind, no quarterback can be as accurate as Imperial Stormtroopers. https://www.rockchalktalk.com/2021/7/15/22578087/50-days-until-kansas-jayhawks-football-reasons-for-optimism

I read somewhere he got chopped against dirty Rice and was playing on a bad wheel all season. That's probably the primary reason he is here. Guy is extremely motivated to show the NFL what he can do and that he can remain healthy and consistent for an entire season.

I get what you are saying. Your QB's especially the OU transfer come with much accolades but still unproven. With Aune at least he has had some snaps at this level. Where I predict SMU's success is at the skill positions as they have a star studded class, especially that OU transfer at tight end. Speaking of which, why does SMU get so many high level transfers from OU? Is there some coaching connection there?

A Denver trip would be awesome.

The only reason it’s quiet is we haven’t closed the sale. Sonny Dykes and SMU are lighting it up though.

I shudder to think what a Sonny Dykes or Skip Holts or Hugh Freeze could have done here.

Southside of Houston. Near Clearlake.

I did ask and the girl kept asking me to repeat myself like she had never heard of the school. Very frustrating.

Amen. The NCAA better watch out because fans are starting to get sick of the me me me generation.

This is what I seen at Dicks in Houston just today for hats and there was everything but North Texas.

They have long profited from publishing player likeness and information, pictures and interviews. The players were willing to share in that in the past to promote themselves. With the new rules I don't see that happening any longer. I get that they can claim to be reporting news and information, but shouldn't they now have to share in their profits since they depend on the player likeness and players themselves for their profits? Don't the players deserve to make money from their recruiting stories that these companies charge for? Along with that won't we see a player start to charge a fee for access to their social media including twitter and facebook? Thoughts?

Smart move to use that picture.

Only thing I worry about for them is the heat. Those outfits will be hot as hell on a 110 degree day in Sept/Oct

Regular visitors to this region understand what writer D.H. Lawrence meant when he said, "Touch this country and you will never be the same again." Santa Fe, New Mexico -- For flatlanders escaping sizzling temperatures, summer in Santa Fe means enjoying the cool, refreshing mornings and pleasant evenings that come with the city's elevation of 7,199 feet. Welcome to the state capital with the highest elevation. Founded in 1610, this is also the oldest state capital in the United States. Summer is Santa Fe is an afternoon shower that blows in from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to bring a welcome respite from the summer sun as shoppers study the wares of street vendors in the Plaza, the heart of downtown Santa Fe. Native American artists line the sidewalk in front of the Palace of the Governors which dates back to 1610. Custom jewelry and art are displayed on blankets and vendors can describe every detail about their particular craft. Even the most ambitious visitors eventually learn to pace themselves because, if you include the St. Francis Dr./Railyard area and the loop of Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe is home to almost 1,000 unique boutiques and shops. Along with shopping and spicy cuisine, art is another theme woven into the colorful fabric that is Santa Fe and the countless examples of public art are only a hint of what this city has to offer. With more than 250 art galleries to explore, only New York City can boast of more galleries. Santa Fe has earned a reputation as one of the world's great art cities, although the local art scene dates back to humble beginnings in the 1920s when recently relocated painters Josef Bakos, Willard Nash, Will Shuster, Walter Mruk and Fremont Ellis began assembling simple adobe structures along Camino del Monte Sol. Jokingly calling themselves "five nuts in mud huts," all five were influential artists who launched a legacy that contemporary Santa Fe artists continue to expand. read more: http://www.ntxe-news.com/artman/publish/article_125013.shtml
