Every day I'm starting to hope and pray for a miracle win vs. the Sooners more and more. One of those program boosting/changing wins along the lines of the Miami Sugar Bowl win or the Miracle at South Bend.

I'll trademark it now if we win: The Norman Conquest.

I remember thinking saved by the bell was just chock-full of wisdom and an absolutely excellent show overall. It blew my mind my parents didn't want to watch it as often as me. Watched a rerun the other day, looks like the ole parents were right about another thing.

I usually enjoy your posts, but seriously. You are way off base on this. There is ZERO evidence that he is a silent. Zero.

We all would "like to think" he is a silent, however, there is zero evidence that he is.

If there was evidence to be seen, then he wouldn't really be a "silent" commit anymore now would he?

If McKenzie commits to us which I'm confident that he will, do you think this guy will pretty much be a "lock" for us?

I would have to say No.

Chuma, Griffin, and TJ were all going to the same school right? I mean they did mention it on twitter several times. :p

This will be an interesting one to see play out.

Not really anything negative.

I just think he is setting the stage for his recruitment going forward. I think more and more kids see the typical My #1 has been the same for 6 months, now I will put 6 hats on the table and make my announcement. If you put on the hat of the school who has been #1 for 6 months? Wow....as expected. Put out your top list claiming "#1" then pick another school and there is more shock value.

Chuma, "UT is #1". Commits to uscw. There were some shocked people, and a lot of them on this very board.

Harrell, "UT leads". Commits to au. This board goes nuts until news breaks UT was not ready to take him.

I could see this continuing to play out a little bit. We'll see. Twitter followers do come into play if people want to believe it or not.

I very much doubt we passed on Chuma like we did Harrell.

What extra fame is there to be had? How much more coverage can committing to your listed number 3 team or even number 6 team instead of your listed number 1 team generate? If you're already a 5* nationally followed player it seems the media will talk about you around the same amount of time no matter where you commit. I just don't see where there's any extra beneficial attention to be had in faking it. If forum and twitter chatter are sought it also appears that it would be best to stick it out with us all the way. If they think we give a lot of attention to them as a possible recruit they should see how excited we get when they actually sign the papers.

I don't think the staff passed on Chuma. That was just an A1 troll job on his part. A lot of UT fans took it hook line and sinker. I'd hope the staff did not.

Sure. Probably so. What I'm getting at though is that in Chuma's case it had nothing to with being slow-played by the staff.

I guess you could ask Chuma Edoga why he did it? He is the one who told Gibson on twitter if he talks up UT, the fans will blow his twitter count up. He started to do so and the fans did just as Chuma said they would. Maybe Chuma was alone in his trolling. Maybe there is a lot more to come. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

I don't think he was being slow played. Of course I can't say that as 100% as we have no idea how many OL guys the coaches plan to take and if that # depends on now vs closer to NSD. When I gave my (20) I thought we would take in 2015 my OL guys were Jones, Stewart, and Richmond. I felt to take Edoga, some other things would need to play out 1st.

I prefer to believe that Chuma is the exception and not the rule. He did admit early on to being an active troll, and in hindsight how much more attention does he have now by not picking us? I'd argue he may have less. That leaves me with the possibility that he simply enjoys being a troll for the purpose of making large numbers of people upset or the possibility that we actually weren't ready to accept his commitment it the first place.
