oh man,.. are Ossa and Ayodele being recruited to play the same position?
OL/DL is weakest in our state year in year out. It's no surprise it's the weakest position on our team. That being said, outside of OU no one in our conference recruits well. If we can't start beating these teams as is, then we have no business worrying about how we would match up with other traditional recruiting powerhouses.
No worries, onto the next. We'll get ours. At DE still in it for Ossai and Carson. Haven't given up on Wright either.
Just give me a couple more big uglies on the O line to go with Ghirmai and Moore and I'll be happy.

Wright will be coming off 2 acl tears. I just don't see him being explosive at the next level. Would still take as beggers can't e choosers, but getting him isn't a huge coup or anything.
Gotcha. Shoot, go juco to get some line help on both sides. I'd take an extra couple scholarships to get some more OTs at this point.
Pretty much. We'll probably have to actually develop some players as well. Not every problem can be fixed by a freshman.
Texas still has a chance to hold on to him, but they slipped something in his ice tea while in Norman. He has told recruiting guys he is considering the flip and has also moved up his visit to Texas. If he doesn;t come in on his official, he's headed to Norman.
Saw an article the other day that had him listed in the 1st round. Top 20 I think. The article I read had 3 Horns in it, Williams, Hill and Malik.
I think you are referring to the bleacher report mock draft. Maybe Hill winds up a first rounder but that mock has about as much analysis put into it as throwing darts at a list of names and teams.
No it's just fans predictions hopes. We kind of tend to overrate our players. I mean I recall message board discussions about how John Burt will be a first rounder during his freshmen year and now he doesn't even have a shot at being drafted.
How about some good news.

— Both Bobby Brown and Ronnie Perkins committed elsewhere last weekend, but that doesn't mean their recruitments are completely over. Texas is still going to make both prospects a priority and won't stop push until they sign. As you may have noticed, commits were tweeting at Perkins today, and they will continue to help the staff work on him. Brown still has one official visit left, and it wouldn't surprise us to see him use it on Texas, especially if Kevin Sumlin is canned. By the way, Texas is still in contact with fellow A&M commit Max Wright. And it also wouldn't surprise us to see him make it to campus before it's all said and done.
— There have been a ton of questions regarding the recruitment of Missouri defensive lineman Daniel Carson, who made an official visit to Texas in September. With Oklahoma starting to fill up along the defensive line and Nebraska struggling, the door is open for the Longhorns to make a serious move. However, I am told by a source that there is still a lot of work to be done here for Texas to be a serious contender. Expect UT to keep chipping away, though.
— Of all the prospects that we have talked about this week along the defensive line, the most likely to get an offer down the line, in my opinion, is Baylor commit Joshua Landry. From talking to sources, it seems like everything is fine with Landry in the classroom. Texas likes his upside and will host him for a visit at some point in the near future. If the Longhorns do extend a scholarship, Landry would immediately be on flip watch.
— One name to keep an eye on is Boynton Beach (Fla.) Atlantic defensive end Jason Mercier, who camped with the Longhorns. I have reason to believe that Mercier is higher on the pecking order than the names we reported on this week. Mercier made an official visit to Toledo in September and has OVs scheduled to Rutgers and Maryland in December. Don't be surprised if Texas starts recruiting him harder as the cycle progresses.

Texas A&M LB commit DaShaun White has scheduled an official visit to Texas for this weekend for the KU game
Per EJ @ 247-
According to a source, Texas inside linebacker commit Ayodele Adeoye will not make his official visit to Texas this weekend. The good news is Texas has made it through the week without losing him to Oklahoma. However, the Longhorns need to get him on campus and will have to continue to work hard to keep him away from the Sooners.

Help me out here cause I don't follow recruiting as closely as others. For all the problems we have on our ol this year why are there only 3 ol commits this year?
I do know signing day is 3 months away. I'm interested in the coaches mindset.

Down year in Texas for OL, we have the ones we want locked in and now we are looking hard at OOS prospects and scouring the Juco ranks. Probably will take 2-3 more OL, maybe wait until after the season to try and find a late bloomer like Kerstetter. I dont think they will reach bc the 19 class is said to "loaded at OL in the state of TX"
OrangeBloods also confirmed that five-star WR Terrace Marshall of Bossier City, LA will take an official visit to UT next weekend.
Class of ‘19 is a ways out from seeing the field in college.
Don’t we have a lot of open scholarships to give?
With Florida changing coaches, FSU struggling, and Scott Frost maybe taking off for Nebraska it would seem the state of Flordia would be a prime spot to pick up an OL or two.
Four star Illinois tight end Luke Ford will take his first official visit to Texas for the Kansas game this weekend.

— There really isn’t anything new to report on Anthony Cook. The five-star cornerback sent me a happy birthday message last night but didn’t provide much of an update on his decision timeline. He will have his Army Bowl jersey ceremony on Thursday, but I do not expect him to announce there. He is carefully paying attention to his finalists and what they do on the field the rest of the way.
— I checked in with our new Texas A&M reporter Damon Sayles, who said he heard four-star defensive end Joseph Ossai had a good official visit to Texas A&M. However, Damon added that Ossai has been quiet about the trip and didn’t have many more details past that. From everything I have been able to gather, I would still give Texas the edge, especially with so much uncertainty in College Station.
— As some of y’all may have noticed, I put in a Crystal Ball flip pick from Baylor to Texas for Houston Lamar defensive tackle Joshua Landry. The three-star prospect will make an unofficial visit to Texas this weekend and plans to return for an OV in December. With things not going so well with defensive line recruiting, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Texas offer down the line. And if the Longhorns do, a flip would be imminent.
— Elite tight end Luke Ford set his official visit to Texas for this weekend. The Longhorns will try their best to wow him, but all signs point to him siding with Georgia. It would take an amazing weekend for Texas to really have a legitimate shot to land him.

I think it's between us and Utah. I guess 50/50. If we are favored it's not by much. Unless I've read wrong or something has changed.
