2020 recruiting

Sounds like Texas had a good recruiting event for the 2020 class Saturday with several top prospects in the house. There might have been a commitment that hasn’t been announced yet, Carrington put out the emoji.

I’m glad they’re not wasting any time and getting out in front of it, can’t have another in-state cycle like last year.

RB Zach Evans – 6’0″ 205lbs – North Shore HS

We were not sure if Zach Evans would make it into Texas this weekend, and he almost did not make it. Luckily he and four-star offensive tackle Damieon George were able to get a ride from one of the North Shore coaches up to Austin in time to hear the speeches from Coach Herman, Sam Ehlinger, and Matthew McConaughey. Any time they can get this player on campus over A&M or Oklahoma, it is a win.

To make up for the missed time, Tom Herman made sure to put the main focus on the generational runningback by making sure he sat next to him and bonded with him during the OU basketball game and prioritized him in personal meetings.

We are told that the focus of the meetings was to make sure Evans understood the need for him at Texas and how they would go about utilizing his unique capabilities. This isn’t a new pitch to Evans, but same the depth of the pitch was impressive.

This recruitment will be a tough one, but Texas seems to be in a good position after the win in New Orleans.

This is encouraging news on Zach Evans.

I've decided to take a closer look at the 2020 class, and I know this is really early but damn, Texas has a good shot at some damn good players.

QB - Card is the #3 duel threat QB in the country, we good there.
RB - 3 of the top 10 are from Texas and it looks like we have a good shot at the top RB out of Cali. So keeping our fingers crossed we are going to finally get a 5'star talent back there.
WR - It's actually a thin year for Wr talent, or maybe it's too early to tell but so far only 2 guys jump out and one is committed to aggsy and the other has all CBs to aggsy.
TE - So far nothing jumps out
Oline - We have 2 committed and will likely take 3 more, we are in on some damn good talent, I love how this class is shaping up.

Dline - We are in on a few top level guys but again doesn't look deep in Texas this year
LB - Not a lot of Texas guys look high level, this is a position that Orlando will likely be looking out of state to fill.
DB - We are in on 3 of the top 5 Corners in the country and 3 of the top 5 safeties in the country, I have a feeling we are going to be really good again.

Honestly this is shaping up to be another top 3 class for Texas.

I think it’s too early to tell. I’ll be closely watching to see how Herman matches up against Fisher for the top instate talent.

Coach, can you please share some of the particulars on Jake? Star rating, size/measurables, who all had offered him, etc.?

3* OT right now, should only move up the rankings. He's always played OT but I think he'll slide into an inside position at the next level. He's got a mean streak, always blocks to the whistle and finishes blocks on the ground looking for a pancake. Very smart kid, was offered by Stanford. What sets him apart is his technique, he may be the most polished HS OL I've ever seen (besides Greg Little). You can tell he's been coached well, puts in the extra work to be great, and really focuses on the details of blocking techniques. Hope that helps!

I have heard that he has a nasty streak to him that is unrivaled by anyone we have recruited recently. Those dudes have got to love finishing people and demoralizing them along the way and this dude does just that
 
Sounds like Evans skipped the aggy Super Bowl Party. They were bragging about having him in College Station for a multiple day visit but it turns out he didn't go at all. So aggys decide to lash out at his brother on twitter and accuse him of being paid. Bold strategy there, let's see how that works out for them.

He didn't show, because of course we paid him (or his brother) not to go, and we paid him because Herman got owned in state last year and is scared of Jimbo, because Jimbo and A&M and so awesome!

Appears to be a huge recruiting weekend that could help propel the 2020 class.
 
FYI, Corey Flagg is one of Jon Kay's favorite players. He has commented that he thinks he'll be in the NFL one day. This kid is all over the field. Anywhere the ball is, is where you'll find Flagg. Kid is a stud. It would be nice to get Flagg and Zachary Evans as a package deal.

First time seeing this kid. Looks like he can flat out fly. What's his 40/100 time, and is he projected at WR or CB?
 
Texas has 5 oline spots to fill and so far they have commitments from 3 of their top 5 targets. All that is left is Lindberg, and Damieon George and they will call it a day for the offensive line. That will be the best class since the class of beef back about 20 years ago.

Nail that oline class and I think Texas also lands Zach Evans as well.

Texas is going to do very well this year on both the oline and the dline since we lead for
Vernon Broughton, Prince Dorbah, Alfred Collins, and Princely Umanmielen.

I have a feeling after this year, the aggsy are going to again be feeding for scraps and wondering why Jimbo is making so much money.
