2019 Recruiting Thread

I'm just glad Texas doesn't promise anything to players or negatively bash other schools. Come on dude, for one you have no idea what happened or what is said. You assume no athlete in the world could ever want to play at A&M over Texas. Do you have a link for this conversation? I'll wait while you find it.
No intelligent athlete anyway. C'mon man. A young guy picking HeeHawville over Austin? Especially since the school in HeeHawville has been nothing but a nobody on the national scene for almost a century, and is the most delusional school in history? Lol. You know something's wrong when they make that tragic mistake.
Sorry, but some kids don't care for a film festival town where everyone thinks they are more enlightened than you and everything is 3 times as expensive. Some people like actual college towns where everything revolves around them, and they get to play in great conference settings every week and have some of the best facilities in the nation, AND still get to play in Texas for home games. You are right. No one would choose that.
So you don't think Texas and every other school recruiting against Sumlin didn't tell kids he was a deadman walking? Everybody negatively recruits, it is part of the deal. To do otherwise, would be ridiculous.
Recruiting is a dirty business, and honesty is in short supply.
Hey can u aggy idiots get off the recruiting board. We talk about players that are coming here, not bulls****. Go back to Texass if u wanna talk about that pile of crap school in college station
Just like you have no link saying it didn’t happen. Are you denying Jimbo has a no visit policy because that’s been reported by multiple people. What do you think happens when one of his commits breaks his policy?
aggy posters, please stay out of the Texas recruiting thread.
Aggy logic 1994-2011.......Its a kids decision to play wherever he would like. If he wants to play in an elite conference and play in the best conference and compete with OTHER teams playing for national championships then he will play in the BIGXII.Of course if he commits to AtM he will suffer playing with a middle of the road team that gets its ass handed to them by OU,TEXAS,KSU,OSU, and our rival TECH. If they dont commit to aggy then they just aint BIGXII ready.
Aggy logic 2012- present.....its a kids decision to play wherever he would like. If he wants to play in an elite conference and compete with OTHER teams playing for national championships then he will play in the SEC. Of course if he commits to AtM he will suffer playing with a middle of the road team that gets its ass handed to them by BAMA,LSU,AUBURN,FLORIDA and our newest rival the MISS schools. If they dont commit to aggy then they just ain't SEC ready.
LMAO!!!!!!

So it looks like blowu is trying a new recruiting tactic to out recruit us. They have changed to the Jordan everything like Michigan.
I don't get the jump man thing, having a basketball player/logo on a football uniform.
Exactly. I get it for North Carolina, but that’s about it. I think Cal has it tooI don't get the jump man thing, having a basketball player/logo on a football uniform.

Obviously, one of the big recruiting stories we’ll be tracking this weekend will be the official visit of Lake Travis wide receiver Garrett Wilson. When we talked to Wilson late this week, he maintained that his mind isn’t made up yet (preview story here if you missed it) and said he’s going into the UT visit with an open mind.
In talking to Ohio State reporters following last weekend’s visit to the Buckeyes, the vibe they were picking up is that OSU took a sizeable lead on this race and Texas would have to really blow Wilson away during his visit to have a chance. This staff has pulled off some major surprises before … we’ll see if it can do it again with the ultra-talented Lake Travis receiver. When I spoke to Wilson, he said it’s not so much about anything Texas can do this weekend, it’s more a big-picture decision for him on where he’ll fit best.
“I don’t really know if it’s what they can say or do. I just want to have a good visit, just see where I can fit in,” Wilson said. “If I feel I can fit in there, that’s what it would come down to.”
As McComas mentioned recently, Texas has approached Wilson about the possibility of playing basketball as well, if that interested in him. When I asked Wilson about that topic this week, it sounds like it’s something that intrigues him but won’t really factor into his decision.
“Coach Smart has been talking to my dad a whole lot. Coach Herman brought that up about a month ago,” Wilson said. “If I wanted the opportunity, it’s there. It’s something I’ll think about, but right now I’m making the decision on football only.”
Wilson plans to announce his decision on Twitter sometime next week.

Top cornerback target Marcus Banks is set to attend Saturday’s UT spring game, which could be a big development as the Spring Dekaney standout also works towards his official visits. The more times Texas can get him on campus, the better, and the staff should have a chance to register another strong impression this weekend.
Banks said this week that he’s been taking a step back from recruiting after the recent passing of his father, but he’s stayed in touch with coaches from Texas, Texas A&M, Auburn, LSU, Penn State and Alabama.
Texas has help in this one from 2018 signee Malcolm Epps, a teammate of Banks’ who has been working on the Longhorns’ behalf. Banks has been picking Epps’ brain about his upcoming UT official visit, which is set for May 4.
“When I talk to Malcolm about it, he said his went well. I try to ask him how goes, he said he had a fun time so I’m excited to see what they have in store for me,” Banks said. “He wants me to pick the school that’s best for me, but he still wants me to go to Texas with him. He always tells me that. He tells me if I don’t go to Texas, he’ll be mad at me.”
Early in the process, Texas looked really good in this one. LSU took the lead, per Banks, after a spring visit there, but he said this week that things have evened out and he’s slowing things down.
“What I’m doing, I’m going to take all my official visits and kind of go from there because I kind of took a step back and reevaluated all the schools that have offered me, trying to make sure I’m making the right choice and wasn’t favoring anybody over the other schools,” Banks said. “After I take all my official visits I’m going to make my decision.”
Banks is trying to get official visits done this spring so he can commit this summer. As of right now, Texas and A&M are the only visits scheduled and he’s trying to sort through his options for his other three. This one continues to feel like it will come down to either Texas, A&M or LSU and with Banks quickly setting up two official visits to UT and A&M, it could very well wind up being an in-state battle. Tough one to call right now but I do like where Texas sits.

2020 North Shore running back Zachary Evans visited UT a couple weeks ago and will be back again on Saturday for the Orange-White game. That can’t be bad. Evans, arguably the best back in the nation for his class, said his most recent visit went very well, further solidifying UT’s position at or near the top of his list.
“I feel like it was better than any other visit because we actually sat and did film this time, straight film. I already knew about the school, but the way he broke it down to me, how I’d be a valuable asset in his offense, it was amazing,” Evans said.
It was Evans, his brother and Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton in the film room. Evans said he feels, based on what he’s seen, that the Texas offense is going to be “very explosive this year” and he’s expecting Texas to rack up a large number of wins this fall.
Evans’ thoughts on Drayton …
“I feel like he’s a very valuable coach. The way he breaks down film is like no other,” Evans said. “It’s very understandable coming from him. Then I feel like as I keep going up there, we bond closer and closer every time.”
It’s early, but Texas is in a great spot on this one and just has to continue building a strong relationship with Evans, something the staff has done a great job with already. A solid showing by the Texas offense this fall won’t hurt, and Evans mentioned he’ll be watching the offensive line play closely to see if it improves. As for the spring game, he said he wants to see how well the offense can do overall.
“I want to see how explosive the running backs are,” he said. “I want to see how well the can overcome adversity. I just want to see the explosion of the whole offense.”

After telling us on Sunday he didn’t have any plans for visits this weekend, five-star offensive lineman Kenyon Green is planning to be in Austin for the Orange-White game.
Texas made a strong move with Green when he visited in early March and I came out of that visit thinking the Longhorns’ chances were as high as anyone’s. When I spoke with Green after a recent Rivals camp and again last weekend at an Under Armour Camp, he was a little more subdued when talking about colleges, including Texas. Needless to say, getting him on campus this weekend could be big for Texas as Herb Hand continues to build a relationship with the Humble Atascocita standout.
One note of interest … I asked Green how much attention he pays to the recruit edits he gets from school, and if he talks to some of the offensive linemen in the state about playing together. He said he does, and mentioned Javonne Shepherd and Andrew Coker as the main two he speaks with.
“I just kind of see where his head is at,” Green said of Shepherd. “That would be great if both of us could play at the same place but it’s his decision and my decision.”
The good news for Texas is that Shepherd is going to be at the spring game on Saturday as well. The bad news is that Shepherd and Coker both hold offers from A&M and both (along with Green) are strongly considering the Aggies.

2020 wide receiver Collin Sullivan will be at the spring game on Saturday. The Round Rock receiver, who is now up to seven offers, said he’s been talking to coaches from several schools, including Texas.
“I’ve been keeping in touch with the schools that have offered, talking to Northwestern, Oregon, I just went to Houston. Arkansas just offered me so that was really good,” Sullivan. “Everything was good. I’m just waiting to see what’s coming next.”
Texas hasn’t offered yet, but Sullivan is hoping that changes in the future and he said he has built a solid relationship with the UT staff.
“I’ve had a good relationship, keeping up with coach Beck and coach Mehringer,” he said. “You just have to stay patient. That’s how they do things. I’ve just been keeping that relationship open.”
If Texas offers, look for the Longhorns to be the team to beat.
“That would be really nice. That’s been like a dream offer,” Sullivan said. “I love it up there. It’s right down the road. That one would be really good.”

I saw Zachary Evans play at NRG in North Shore's playoff game against Katy. While he didn't have very impressive rushing numbers against Katy's stifling defense, and North Shore is one dimensional and has no passing game, with Katy keying on Evans, you could see this kid's potential. Evans is very impressive physically, and he was just a sophomore last year. This dude will be a stud before his HS career is done.
Wilson has pushed his commitment date back a week.
This is very good news for us!
Also Smart has reached out to him about playing bball too. Interesting....

Per EJ @ 247
— Texas defensive line coach Oscar Giles has been hard at work on the recruiting trail over the last couple of days. Yesterday, Giles made his way to Kansas to see four-star defensive lineman Marcus Hicks and key JUCO target Jermaine Johnson. Hicks has visited Texas in the past, while Johnson plans to visit this summer. Today, Giles saw four-star defensive lineman Marcus Stripling. There is still some work to do there as Florida, Oklahoma and Texas A&M are the teams to beat.
— Texas tight ends coach Derek Warehime stopped by Fort Worth Southwest to see three-star tight end Nnamdi Adim-Madumere. Texas has been evaluating him for a while, and he is definitely a name to know. Warehime then made his way to Brock to see four-star tight end Baylor Cupp, who recently committed to Texas A&M. It appears Texas isn’t giving up on that recruitment.
— Texas offensive coordinator Tim Beck and wide receivers coach Drew Mehringer were at Austin Lake Travis to see four-star wide receiver Garrett Wilson and new 2020 quarterback-athlete offer Hudson Card. Ohio State was also present as the two schools are in a heated battle for Wilson, who plans on making his decision at some point in the near future. Texas is doing everything it can in crunch time and is making progress.
— As we reported last night, Texas safeties coach Craig Naivar was set to see both Jalen Catalon and Darius Snow. And yes, he did visit both prospects. Next on the agenda for Naivar is another key stop in the Dallas-area. Tomorrow, Naivar will make his way to Trinity Christian Cedar Hill to check in on four-star safety Lewis Cine, who visited earlier this offseason and has increasing interest in UT.

— We were told to keep it quiet, but it’s now out in the open. Yes, Texas safeties coach Craig Naivar stopped by Waxahachie and checked in on Texas A&M commit Demani Richardson. The Longhorns are still working on Richardson and pushing to get him on campus at some point this offseason. Remember, Richardson was high on UT before giving the Aggies a verbal pledge. Naivar also stopped by Trinity Christian Cedar Hill to see Lewis Cine as we reported he would last night.
— Texas offensive coordinator Tim Beck was out in Arizona today and saw five-star Saguaro (AZ) cornerback Kelee Ringo. As we reported, Beck and the Longhorns extended an offer to Ringo, who is ranked as the nation’s top corner in 2020. Beck actually used to be the head coach at Saguaro, so there is a connection there. Expect the Longhorns to continue to recruit Arizona hard.
— Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton made his way out to West Texas to see Amarillo Tascosa running back King Doerue. UT has yet to offer Doerue, but he is definitely a prospect on the radar. Doerue is an explosive back and one of the better in-state ball carriers in a down year at the position. The three-star prospect holds offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and others.
— Texas offensive line coach Herb Hand was in the Houston-area and saw rising 2020 Fort Bend Kempner offensive lineman Akinola Ogunbiyi. He holds an early offer from Texas A&M and is certainly a prospect to know. Ogunbiyi attended the Texas spring game over the weekend.

On a sad note... Garret Wilson to Ohio State (my #1 player in TX)
also he said this:
They were close,” Wilson said of Texas. “I’m not going to lie, the official visit made me think about them a little more. In the end, I’ve watched a lot of people go to Texas with a ton of ability and maybe not achieve what I thought they could. I didn’t want to be one of those guys.”
He's not lying. Hoping Herman can turn this thing around quickly! Cant keep losing studs to OOS programs

Some good news coming this week as I expect Watson will commit to the good guys.
Per TFB:
"Same old rule of we can’t spoil anything, but we can give you a hint that this guy is coming from out West and brings a new dynamic to an important position. That’s all your getting!"
My guess is it's Tre Watson, grad transfer Rb from Cal
True. I can't really remember any WR's of not coming out of Osu either though.
I went to Lake Travis myself, and I really was hoping he would pick Texas. But I don't think his response is classless at all. I think it's spot-on, and I wish there was more honesty around the program about stuff like this.
I want Texas to be great as much as anyone else, but let's call a spade a spade. There are other Big XII schools with way less talent who are outputting higher production. Let's address that. Let's hear the coaches address that. Let's talk about why supremely talented players aren't doing what they should be on the field. Why are lesser-rated RBs and WRs at Kansas State and Oklahoma State posting better season numbers than Texas'. All we seem to get is vague excuses week-by-week, but I can't blame the kid for looking at great recruits who have gone to Texas recently and have sputtered.

Facts hurt, but the reality is he is right, your own coach said when he came that the recruits haven’t seen a Texas team win. Start winning and actually put more than 2 people in a draft and things will change.
