Just to be clear, a "silent commit" is when somebody has actually committed, but hasn't announced it. It doesn't just mean that they're just interested.

We really need a tww premium sports board to discuss these things. Can't be letting the peons have access to such inside information!]
4/14/2025 5:52:13 PM
Somebody needs to tell these silent commits to speak up!!
4/15/2025 2:43:34 PM
So, we are up to six scholarship players and 3 silent commits?
4/15/2025 3:44:22 PM
"sure, he's playing for the other team and just dropped 30 on us, but we have his silent commitment!"
4/15/2025 3:55:17 PM
Need to allow in-game portal transfers with immediate eligibility
4/15/2025 6:07:33 PM
Glad we are starting to see some power forward and center names pop up. For a while it seemed like everyone was a guard, which is important, but we need some height.
4/15/2025 9:17:14 PM
Matt Able signed(i'm getting anxious for some new news)
4/17/2025 2:39:25 PM
I heard he is a silent commit as well
4/17/2025 4:52:31 PM
4/17/2025 9:12:18 PM
Yeah but things change quickly in the NIL world so he wasn’t really wrong. He was right. But then NIL changed things
4/17/2025 9:39:00 PM
Btw i wish jt had been right about all this! But that's the exact reason not to worry about it til they're signed! Or at least publicly committed. Dexter Lawrence taught me that lesson. Most of the recruiting sites need clicks and they don't get them by saying "this could go anyone's way".

Amile Jefferson was an all timer. I thought we had him

LOL. Part of me wants to panic. But the other part of me realizes that the portal close date is just the end of transfer drama part one. Between the guys that declared for the draft and will withdraw and the guys that realize their transfer deal isn't as shiny as someone else's, I expect a whole other round of commitment flips. Which could be where the smart money comes in. The market values have been established, so now you know what you need to pay to flip the guy you wanted.
4/23/2025 1:16:30 PM
^^normal amount of useful info^I think the portal closure is just the entrance side. Commits can extend through summer.
4/23/2025 1:25:53 PM
No reason to panic. Portal closing just means you can’t enter the portal anymore. Players that are uncommitted can still commit. JT3 is likely referring to UL transfer James Scott who we’re involved with. Unsure if a commitment has been secured silently. But I am quite sure that a public commitment hasn’t happened yet
4/23/2025 4:03:26 PM
(and of course they're morons on social media saying "look how well the last Louisville transfer worked-out... therefore we don't this transfer from Louisville". Idiots)
4/23/2025 4:29:09 PM
Haha, yeah that's a silly hot take, especially given all the actual individual weaknesses you could point out . I can't actually find a website that ranks FT% from lowest to highest, but I would bet a wad of cash that 43.5% is in the bottom .1% for anyone playing 20+ mpg.Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not knocking on him overall. His ability to score within 3 feet is pretty impressive and there are a lot of highlights of him rocking people in pick and roll situations. Plus he can rebound and block. I can see why we'd want him. Despite their shooting weaknesses, I could see him paired with Copeland being really hard to stop for a lot of teams.[Edited on April 23, 2025 at 4:52 PM. Reason : are]

He’s gotta be an upgrade over BHH
4/23/2025 5:01:35 PM
He's gotta be an upgrade over all the centers we currently have on the roster]
4/23/2025 5:11:39 PM
I'm sure one or two of our players who entered the portal will return
4/23/2025 5:48:12 PM
^ have any of them silently committed??
4/23/2025 5:58:56 PM
Apparently texas A&m also got a women's transfer we were high on. That's 3 with KC, MGbako and her, chill texas a&m
4/24/2025 10:07:16 AM
I mean they have more money.
4/24/2025 11:28:20 AM
I'm starting to get a little nervous. I know there's still time, but I would have thought (hoped) we'd have at least a few more guys at this point. How likely is it that we don't use all 15 scholarships? I'd assume we'd have to take some bench scrubs for practice?
4/24/2025 11:31:56 AM
I mean pretty much all our transfers in are bench scrubs!!!

TAMU has more money than almost every other university. Like many Texas colleges, they have a shit ton of oil money. Plus SEC money. Plus a huge alumni base. Plus they are a literal cult. There is no overlap in coveted assets because they are getting them all!
4/24/2025 12:11:18 PM
That last sentence is dumb but the whole argument has nothing to do with my post.
4/24/2025 12:30:51 PM
Langdon (Butler) and Arceneaux (Houston) committed? See both on twitter but not anywhere "official" yet.
4/24/2025 12:51:13 PM
4/24/2025 12:54:39 PM
^^
4/24/2025 1:13:49 PM
I mean I assume we covet the same players as Duke as well, but we aren't getting any of them either!

4/24/2025 8:21:11 PM
I have a feeling this commitment will win Justin over.
4/24/2025 8:34:39 PM
Exactly the type of player he loves
4/24/2025 8:41:10 PM
Hey, at least this guy hasn't proven himself to be a middling college player! He's still got upside![Edited on April 24, 2025 at 8:54 PM. Reason : So far this is the star of our transfer class]
4/24/2025 8:51:01 PM
Tyler Lewis went from State to Butler. Then Manny Bate’s followed in his footsteps. Then Jayden Taylor went Butler to State. Now Langdon is the latest in a long line of storied players to be part of the State/Butler connection.
4/25/2025 6:34:12 AM
^that's pretty neat.Also neat that Langdon holds the record for most career points scored at Broughton (and it appears he did that even though he reclassified and skipped his Senior season). And he holds the Broughton record for most points in a season.I wonder where Staats Battle is on that list?[Edited on April 25, 2025 at 11:59 AM. Reason : wow, Staats graduated college a decade ago]
4/25/2025 11:39:14 AM
Colt Langdon kinda looks like he belongs on Clemson. Or maybe BC.
4/25/2025 11:56:02 AM
Cousin of Loul Deng committed. Publicly.[Edited on April 25, 2025 at 12:31 PM. Reason : His name is Jerry ]
