2019 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter Bwilk55
- Start date
After what we have seen in CBB, you can be sure that this situation will draw attention soon.
The Juco OLB that we're after just decommitted from Iowa State and he's OVing here this weekend
also our newly offer to a DE that was committed to TCU just decommited from them. he hasn't visited yet but writing is on the wall
Lewis Cine committed to Georgia this afternoon. Not much of a surprise, but it appears he is off the board.
Hard to see him committing with the safeties we already have on the team and the safeties we have committed
Jordan Whittington update. 6 catches for 138 yards and 3 TDs. He played about 2 1/2 quarters in a 64-7 route of Bandera.
On a side note, anybody else seeing completely retarded district realignments for their HS teams? They have taken Cuero and put them in the hill country. Navarro is now their closest district foe, in Seguin. The rest of the district includes Wimberly, Bandera, Austin Eastside Memorial whoever the hell that is, and Llano. Llano? JFC do you know how far Llano is from Cuero?
Kind of exciting because with Cuero, Navarro, and Wimberly, that's quite possibly the toughest district in 4A, but still freakin retarded.

I honestly have no idea how Navarro, and Wimberly are doing this year. What I do know is that over the last five years or so it's been those three eliminating each other in the playoffs.
Cuero is still Cuero, though they might be down a little next year after losing Whittington and Grant, who is a fine RB prospect himself committed to West Point.
Pretty sure Llano, Eastside, and Bandera are all trash though.
Thank you for the clarification on Eastside. I remember Johnston.
I live in Llano and Navarro beat us 14-10 Friday. We get an up close with Whittington this Friday in Cuero. Their skill guys are grown men based on the film. Gonna be really tough. Again, don't understand UIL, just based on geography if nothing else.
Damn let me apologize in advance. That's an awful long way to go to take an ass whoopin'. Lol
Jk. If you're going to the game travel safe.
Crystal Balls for
Caleb Johnson
Myron Warren
Neither are highly rated but seem to have the size Texas’ coaches like.
Any news on them? Report? Etc?

Here's my up close take on 4* Safety- Tyler Owens:
The Good- He's a project, the type Yancy gets in the weight room and turns into an animal. Our DB coaches and Orlando will have their work cut out for them. Very high ceiling, like NFL type ceiling bc he does make flashes that you say "Wow." He has two big things you cant coach- Size and Speed.
The Bad- He's a project, I don't see him contributing for 2-3 years. Horrible tackler, plays way too high. Bad at making reads and making fits in run game. Reminds me of Malik, where as Owens overruns plays bc he is so fast, that may also contribute to he's bad at tackling. I'll say it again... He's horrible at tackling. And lastly he seems to give up on plays or loaf quite a bit.
The Good again- Everything I mentioned in The bad can be coached out of him. I think he's a good take, especially with the studs we already have on the roster in front of him.

Multiple CBs for both P.Powell and M.Warren.
On Powell, I like this offer a lot. Not sure where he's going to play but apparently the recruiting strategy is recruit a bunch of fast guys who play multiple positions and let the depth chart/playing time sort itself out. Powell plays QB at Mojo (and we've said we'll give him a shot there) but he could end up at either WR or S depending on how fast he wants to see the field. Or he could play more than one spot like D.Jamison is probably going to do.
That's how Mack used to do it. Recruit the best player on the team (which more times than not is the QB) and then find a spot for him.

I think this strategy works pretty good Think about ppl we've missed on before...
RG3- we recruited as safety
Manziel- we recruited as corner
KeKe Coutee- we recruited as safety (NFL WR)
There's probably a lot more names on the list but those recent misses come to mind
I like that we're redshirting (so far - hope that holds) a lot of bigs on both sides of the ball this season. That's how it's supposed to be:
OL: J.Angilou, R.Moore, R.Ghirmai, C.Jones, D.Okafor
DL: K.Coburn, M.Ojomo, M.Williams, D.Carson, M.Roach, D.Christmas, J.Chisholm
OL: J.Angilou, R.Moore, R.Ghirmai, C.Jones, D.Okafor
DL: K.Coburn, M.Ojomo, M.Williams, D.Carson, M.Roach, D.Christmas, J.Chisholm
Exactly. Tom has said if he had his way he'd never play a true freshman lineman. Firmly believes in taking a year to build them.
Angilou and Ghirmai in particular I've got a really good feeling about. Two monster OTs. Could be the best pair of tackles we've ever had.
I agree they could be great players, however, I see them both being OG's
Two 6'5" 300+ guards? Ok I'll take it.
Herman likes tackle types playing guard, pulling and whatnot. Also read that S.Cosmi is the highest graded O lineman at this point and is the heir apparent at LT next year.
Hey, I got no problem with a 6'5" 300 pound wall all the way across the line.
Ghirmai is definitely the more athletic of the two, he could possibly be a RT. Angilua is a bulldozer. He's a OG all the way. Maybe I'm wrong tho, which is fine by me, Hand seems more than capable of finding the right spot for them! haha
Roschon Johnson received his UA All American jersey today at PNG
This young man is going to be special at Texas. He's a perfect fit for Herman's type of offense.
He is going to have to be, he has a lot of talent in front of him and a major talent behind him. I have a feeling unless he is a game changer he might get passed up by Card.
