His hudl is impressive, pretty much the pancake monster if you will. I think he is one of the players we have to get next year in order to restock the shelves on the OL. Just to follow up on the discussion from the other thread which I can't find no more.

So far we have offered 5 - including Branson:

Kenyon Green (OT) https://247sports.com/player/kenyon-green-88109 

Tyler Johnson (OT) https://247sports.com/player/tyler-johnson-88286 - will be at the Okie State game

Javonne Shepherd (OT) https://247sports.com/player/javonne-shepherd-46037308 - attended Stars at night

Kardell Thomas (OG) https://247sports.com/player/kardell-thomas-85350 - think he also visited over the summer and was scheduled to see the RRR but instead went to the LSU-Auburn game

Plus we hosted 2 OG targets at the RRR which we haven't offered so far:

EJ Ndoma-Ogar https://247sports.com/Player/EJ-Ndoma-Ogar-88233

Evan Neal https://247sports.com/Player/Evan-Neal-91837 

Daniel, who do you consider as the must gets in the trenches in the 2019 class so far? + Where do we have the best shot?

We didn't make Marcel Brooks top 6 . . .

Guess we'll have to win quite a few next year to get him?

Kid has been all over the map. Don’t be surprised if this list changes several times over.

Just read some stuff from Cain that came from the war room. He has talked to our coaches about our oline problems. Our staff has told him of all the injuries and that we are working to get more oline commits. Also said our staff told him we would be more of a passing team this year due to our line problems. Said he wants to go somewhere they zone block. Said he really likes Sam.

SMH. Cain is a good back. But IMO, thats about as far as I go with it. I've watched him play several times and see a lot of what I see everywhere else. Cute name, plays for IMG, I get it. He's even a Denton County boy (where I live). But I can't get myself to like him enough to not want to look elsewhere.

So, IMO, you don't allow a recruit to influence your current or future offense. He's worried about our blocking but will have to be taught that himself when/if he arrives on campus.

What I thought was weird was he said the coaches told him we would be more of a passing team this year due to our oline and our personnel. Then our coaches have pressers preaching, we are gotta run the ball. Seems a bit strange.

Stanford might be in play on this one.   I believe Akina visited but isnt he the DB coach?

Yes he’s the DB coach. 

Kid likes Texas a lot. CB pick went in awhile ago.

I would not be surprised if he left committed to Texas.

So TE Grayson Boomer committed to Oklahoma State.  Anybody see that coming?

This will change when he sees how bad they are next year with Rudolph gone

Hell of a pickup for them. Kid is a stud.

Well, I'm not sure a "Boomer" could play at Texas anyway. Amirite?

 

[shotime73]

He is a stud thats for sure

TCU may clean up in DFW for the 19 cycle.

Texas doesn’t make the cut for Marcel Brooks, but there’s a looooooong way to go. 

Just bringing this back up because Brooks's pinned tweet now says he has no top list and his recruitment is wide open.  Gonna' be a lot of twist and turns and up and downs with this one.
