Nothing except enjoy the process.  He clearly loves the attention or he wouldn't put out all of the social media he has that has stirred up one fan base or another.  Recent Florida posts, posts accenting UT or L$U gear, etc.  All of it is "look at me" stuff.

But that's the game these days.  My main issue with him is the he's playing this game while supposedly being committed to Texas.  But I don't consider him.a commit at this point.  He can say he's committed all he wants, but he's also said that he is trying to decide.  Trying to decide says he isn't committed anywhere.

 

He is building his Brand. Easton is smart using social media to build the Brand.

Give it until December. This one is going to be a long one. I imagine if it comes to it, we will write a much larger check than LSU or Indiana to get one of them. But no question Coach O has some of that Mack Brown magic in the living room and clearly it's worked on Royal.

Fong with 60% conference and LSU odds at 86% chance to land him and Texas at 3.5%? whew

Before y’all start hyperventilating over Royal’s latest IG troll stunt, go watch a couple of the 2026 simulation games. They’re hilarious, they’ll distract you, and they’re a better use of time than trying to decode whatever mood Royal woke up in today.

If you're talking about CFB 27, those are fun. I've done some simming for Texas myself. For whatever reason Texas does not sim well in those games. I'm like 4 or 5 seasons into my current dynasty run with ULM and they fired Sark after year 2, hired Cignetti from Indiana and then fired him after one year of going 7-5 lol. They then hired Lincoln Riley after he got fired from USC and he's currently not doing very well either being on the hot seat.

He is really really really accurate because he changes his Fong Bomb everytime he gets conflicting information and usually at the last second.

I'm here. Doesn't surprise me. He's been reporting he thinks LSU is trending. As I wrote up top, even if he flips, Texas expects this to go the distance and they'll keep recruiting him. 
 

Fwiw Royal took to twitter to say he hasn't talked to a single reporter in recent weeks in response to Steve's pick.

Wiltfong constantly changes his RPM on a recruit is my point.

Some can’t handle SEC recruiting for top prospects

Highly doubt that they would keep recruiting him once he flips

99% bc he changes his pick 2 mins before the kid announces. He’d be about 15% accurate if he left his picks alone.

Put money on DJ Jacob’s  or even Brewster now from Sales.  If Royal flips  doesn’t come back ..that’s where they probably go.  Rather them steal a stud 5 star oline

Technically  he's only a 4 star ++++++++.

Steve said it was a "vibes based" prediction. Royal hasn't been talking to him. He isn't omniscient. It's July. There's no use worrying about this.

Again, he might flip, he might not, he could always flip back. Just handle business this season like we should and he'll be signing here. Just makes me want us to thump those tigers on their head in November even more.

His Vibes are based on delusional insiders.  If you listen to any of the LSU “insiders” they all chirp the same things, “WR U, NFL, Staying Home, Lane Kiffin.”   All that is a wash besides staying home and the pressure to flip which can often backfire.
