As 2018 recruiting is slowing down with NSD2 in less than 2 months, I figured it was a good time to get a jump on 2019 recruiting.
 
Texas Longhorns Recruiting Big Board - Offense

As I did for the 2018 class, I'll attempt to keep up with Texas offers, interested prospects and commitments by position. This list is composed of all 4/5 stars from Texas, all Texas offers, and guys in which there is a serious interest (i.e. Junior Days, recruiting event invites, etc.). This list will be edited periodically. Please provide updates or information that you come across and I'll add to the list.

QB
Spencer Rattler - 5 star (0.9813) - Az - OU Commit
Grant Gunnel - 4 star (0.9720) - TX - TAMU Commit (No Offer)
Roschon Johnson - 4 star (0.9292) - TX - TX Commit
- Roschon is an impressive dual threat QB who has thrived at Port-Neches Groves both throwing and running the ball. He is an effortless runner with very good speed. He also shows a good ability to throw the ball, including a good deep ball.
- Junior Day Visit 2/18
Grant Tisdale - 4 star (0.9063) - TX - No Offer
- A very good dual threat QB out of Allen. There isn't much separating Tisdale and Johnson as both are top 10 QBs in the nation. With Roschon in the fold, it is unlikely that Tisdale factors in here but I'm sure Texas will keep in touch just in case.

RB
Trey Sanders - 5 star (0.9961) - Fl (IMG) - Offered
Quavaris Crouch - 5 star (0.9882) - NC - Offered
Noah Cain - 5 star (0.9842) - Fl (IMG), originally TX - Offered
- One of the absolute top RBs in the nation. Currently at IMG but originally from Denton, Tx. Texas has a legitimate shot at Cain but will have to fight off all of the top programs.
- 1/2018: Texas named as top program at this time
John Emery Jr - 4 star (0.9687) - La - Offered

Better f*cking kill it on the DL — as in this DL class needs to look like 2018’s DB class.
Click to expand...

That is a tall task. This years DB class was truly historic. Probably the best ever DB class signed on any signing day. We signed 6 DBs who ranked 19, 34, 36, 47, 69 and 102 nationally. The 1st, 3rd and 6th safety. The 5th, 6th and 14th CB. There were 7 DBs from the state of Texas (23 total DBs) ranked in the top 102 and we signed 6 of them.

To compare to 2019 D-line. There are 21 D-linemen in the top 100 nationally, and only two of them are from Texas (Marcus Stripling, NaNa Osafo-Mensah). Even if we sign them both, and add some top OOS talent, it is still a challenge to compete with that DB class.

I do agree that we need to improve our D-line recruiting next year. Our top targets will be the two mentioned above, as well as guys like DeMarvion Leal. There are 10 total 4 star D-linemen in the state. We need to ink about 3 of them.

I know. I was being a bit hyperbolic to underline the urgency of the situation at DL. Hopefully the staff can work a miracle or two in the next five weeks to make things a little less dire.

You gotta use the hyperbole font man.

The state of Texas just doesn't seem to produce the O-line and D-line players like some other states. We should always have a good crop of WRs, DBs, and QBs to choose from but O-line and front 7 are a bit more of a challenge.

Yeah that's a well documented flaw of this states talent production, but our opponents have the same problem, outside of OU who can go national with their recruiting. We may not be able to kill it in the rankings with Texas talent in the trenches like we can with the skill players, but we damn sure need to see more production on the field with the OL we have. Not having access to a stable of 4 and 5 star guys is no excuse for not being able to push a Tech D-line around.
 
actually, i've heard the opposite in that Texas historically produces more linemen. but that may have been years ago when i heard that, to the point of being before the proliferation of things like 7 on 7 and the widespread use of spread offenses.

secondly, unless we screw it up somehow, branson bragg will be a Longhorn. his daddy is a former high school o-line coach (may still be, idk) and they are a Horns family.
 
It's a huge state so we produce all positions at great quantity (DI caliber talent) but just not quality. There are only 6 OL in the top 50 for 2018 class. Granted that was a down year, but even throwing a few more bodies in that range it's still not much for so many programs to live off of.

2019 I count 7 in top 50. I am guessing that's the norm for past few years and going forward. Versus a typical Texas class yielding 10+ WRs in top 50 and another handful of athletes. There is just an imbalance unless you want to run 5 wide all the time.

At what point do texas hs fb players start suffering from anti texas bias when ranking players? They are still there but not on paper.
 
I guess you could argue they already are if you think there is a bias. I don't think there is an anti Texas bias. I just think the state actually produces a unbalanced crop at the higher end. Like you said the guys are there they just don't show up because of all of the quality receivers/DBs which are easier positions for recruiting services to evaluate.

It's easier for sites to justify skill position player rankings so there is a little natural bias there.

It does seem that Tom Herman has no qualms about going out of state to try to land some big fish. I think that approach is necessary and can help us out in years when Texas is thin at a certain position.
 
To me on field proformancd will dictate the quality of the 2019 class more so than in 2018. Win 8-9 games I think

Yeah I’m happy to see that. I think it’s important to get our pick out of Texas, but No reason Texas shouldn’t be a contender for the best players in the country regardless where they come from. That’s one thing I wish Mack had done a bit more of. Felt like it would of made us and even stronger program.

We could fill our WR, DB and QB classes from the state year in year out. But all other positions will need to be supplemented at times. Even if we start getting the absolute best of the best in state, there often just isn't enough beef to fill elite recruiting classes.

Agree. I think it would be a solid idea to have a coach or two with like Florida or California recruiting chops on staff.

A few early observations:
Texas is very top heavy at the WR position this year. Based on current rankings, 7 of the top 14 players (3 of top 5) in the state are WRs. All 7 of those WRs rank in the top 20 WRs nationally. We should land a very solid WR class, one that could easily rival the CB or S haul of this year.

Texas is in a good position with 5 star RB Noah Cain at this time. He recently stated that Texas was his top school right now.

I have no clue where we go for TE in this class. After Austin Stogner there isn't much in the state.

There just isn't a lot of top quality OL talent in the state. We have a shot at several 5 star OL in tackle Kenyon Green and Kardell Thomas. Green has named a few top schools and left Texas on the outside right now but has said they are definitely in the mix. Thomas is a Baton Rouge kid who is committed to LSU but he has been very vocal about how much he likes Texas and Austin. If things go south at LSU, we could make a move.

We are in a good position with tackle Tyler Johnson and number 1 overall center Branson Bragg.

- Brooks was offered early and has put out multiple rankings list. Some have Texas, some don't. All this after there was chatter about him committing quickly after a Texas visit. I can't find the report, but apparently this kid was kicked off his high school team. TH has said he doesn't want to recruit players with poor attitudes so it'll be interesting to see if we continue to pursue Brooks.

Very thin year at DT. We better keep Coburn in the 2018 class because finding a 2019 will be tough as well. DeMarvin Leal will be a highly sought after target.

Things are better at DE with plenty of 4 star options. Stripling is a beast.

No 4 star LBs in the state outside of Marcel Brooks and as I mentioned there are some character concerns there. Not sure if he is a guy we will continue to pursue.

After a crazy good CB class in 2018, the state is thin in 2018. Fortunately, this won't be a position of need after our 2018 haul.

Safety is once again stacked and is probably the 2nd best position group (behind WR). Brian Williams likes us a lot and would be a huge get. We should be able to bring in 2-3 4/5 star safeties in this class.
 
I was not clear where Texas would look for TEs in this class. Austin Stogner was the only highly ranked TE in state and he is already committed to OU.

Well today Texas offered to OOS 4 star TEs. Isaiah Foskey out of California and Hudson Henry out of Arkansas. We certainly aren't favored for either of these two at this point but I'm sure our staff will do there best to get these guys on campus.
 
Texas also offered top interior linemen EJ Ndoma Ogar today. Seemed like a no-brainer offer. OU is in a good position with him but this recruitment is very early.
