It was a ruse. I think Kenny Stills was his minder as the recruiting season wore on. Tough break for CU. Good luck to T-MAC.

Who is Kenny Stills and what is a "minder?"

Minder was a joke but I think Kenny was instrumental in the recruitment of Taylor given they were both from the same part of California. I could be mistaken.
Why do you say "a ruse?" Were we being played?

I hope you're right about Ray. I'm hopeful that we get JCF, but I agree that he seems like a long shot. Looks like Kasa and Thornton will have to step up big time!
Tough one to lose. Good luck moving forward T Mac
That explains a lot. Kenny had us in his final group and picked OU. He's done great there, too.
I remember asking earlier (maybe in this thread) about what does the last visit matter. In that case, somebody (BB?) was saying that it was good that we weren't the last visit. I guess that shows that the recruiting stuff is all on the whims of an 18 year-old. I with Taylor the best in his choice. Every kid going to college should be where he wants to be.
On to the next one...
I think it's a big help to be the last visit. The risk is that the kid might commit before he gets to you and then cancels the visit.
He believes OU is the best place for him so good luck. I hope u get to play from day 1 but, big boy recruiting is a little different. End all be all, I hope you made the choice for you and nobody else, you earned it. Good luck.

I'd say our next 5 years at QB are just as unknown as Oklahoma's.
We have two very good in-line blocking TEs in Irwin and Ray. Obviously very psyched to have both, but we're still needing the pass catching TE that can really work the seams. Really, really bummed we missed out on McNamara.

Exactly true Creebuz. The biggest thing is that isn't much fan-fair around our two commits mainly because there isn't much video on either. Sean missed most of the season with his injury. Austin Ray's team didn't seem to throw that much. The thing that struck me about T-Mac's videos were he's pretty much a pass catcher and that's it. Is he a great blocker? IDK. Time will tell. Ultimately if you can't block, you won't be on the field at TE, regardless of how good you catch the ball. We may look back in hindsight and laugh because Sean/Austin & whomever else we pick up were much better complete players at the TE position.
I'm still looking toward the future. It's on Embree and company to develop these kids and getting them playing at a 5/4* level coming out of college as he likes to say.
