Olehornfan said:
Question. This is a dead period. If players get told there are no scholorships available are they not able to contact other coaches or are they just out of luck until Friday?

Yes, the recruits and the coaches are allowed to contact each other - just no face2face.

Feb 1 - 4 (NSD Feb 3) - Dead Period
During a dead period a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents, and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high schools. Coaches may write and telephone student-athletes or their parents during a dead period.​

Great. I am sure that will be an event that happens tomorrow and was wondering what the kid could do. Somewhere on the internet it said no contact. left out face to face.

I really want to feel confident about getting a great haul this year. I hope all the optimistic news is correct. I'll be over there chewing my nails and pacing around.
 
Wait for it, if we miss on even ONE of our targets tomorrow, the ESPN/SEC ***** machine will be declaring that Charlie "lost the recruiting war."
 
The links for the news station the announcement will take place is on the Christmas-Giles recruiting thread.

Will probably be during the sports segment, but maybe not.
 
T minus four hours and counting until the G40A bunker is fully functional again. With all the upgrades, not even Anonymous will be able to find me, much less hack my sy--

Excuse me, someone's knocking on my bunker hatch.
 
Well, well... First somebody who talked to some player in the Texas team posted at midnight on 247horns that there is a surprise name in store too, at . The poster simply wouldn't say who it is, but something like the highest rated commit on another team (his thread title was "OMG, if it's true", so it's clearly a big fish)

Just now EJHolland, a 247horns mod, confirmed that they too have heard of a big flip possibility ("A big late night (news) nugget" is how he put it). He would not say anything more - just that he they are "tracking it down".

Does not seem to be any name who is on the list already, like Fowler or Hudson. A new name. Another poster who also seems to have heard something said that it is not a done deal (may be 60/40) but that the player will sleep on it and decide whether to flip tomorrow.

To be fair to 247horns, they are a subscription site. You are welcome to join there, if you want to see if EJ or any other Mod has any further updates. I doubt it, because Texas may want to keep this under wraps till it happens, and everybody would hopefully keep mum.

But then again, it could be the usual BS that starts off the night before NSD every year, with nothing coming out of it!

Anyway, I am off to sleep soon. Need to be up early for the big day!

Higs has been hinting at a surprise guy (not his words) for a couple of weeks without giving any inkling of who, what position, which school, committed or uncommitted. He's usually pretty reliable; but some think he may have been saying this just in case we get a surprise guy, he can do a, "See, I told you so."
