I took the promotion as trying to find a way to get Naivar more so than Orlando leaving.

I expect this will be Orlando's last season at UT if we have a top defense next year and we contend. The bar was set for a UT DC when Muschamp got the Florida job.
If he's smart he will be like Smart. Kirby that is. Kirby stayed at Alabama till the Georgia job came open.

Ladies and gentlemen that concludes the 2019 recruiting cycle. With this class now in the books, it is full steam ahead on to 2020 and beyond!
Appreciate y’all following along as always. We will probably have something up in the next couple days discussing the Texas recruiting class. Until then y’all get stretched out and ready for 2020, because it is shaping up to be a fun ride.

Thanks Daniel for keeping us amateurs updated.
I just took a look at last 2 years OT recruits with Shepard's commit. Will say that for the first time in a long time I'm feeling good about our future at OT and the depth they are building. Looking forward to the great O-Line class in 2020 and hope Evans notices as well!
Are all the 2018 OT recruits still on the team?
At quick glance here's our 2018 & 2019 OT recruits
2018
OT Junior Angilau 4*
OT Reese Moore 4*
OT Rafiti Ghirmai 4*
OT Mikey Grandy 3*
OT Christian Jones 3*
2019
OT Tyler Johnson 4*
OT Isaiah Hookfin 4*
OT Javonne Shepherd 4*

I don't feel that way. I think we just did that to keep Naivar from leaving for a DC job. Orlando should only leave for a HC job. I don't know of any HC opening worth taking for him.

Hey DBut82,
I thought the same thing, but then remembered he has been committed to Texas since the end of June.... just didn't really feel that way some of the time.

10 Big-Name Recruits Who Screwed Up Most in 2019 Signing Window
S Chris Adimora, Texas
1 OF 10
Credit: 247Sports
Based on how Texas head coach Tom Herman and defensive coordinator Todd Orlando recruited defensive backs in 2019, it appears as though they aren't happy with their current depth chart.
During a resurgent 2018 season that put the program back on the map, the Longhorns ranked 110th nationally against the pass. But despite that horrific number, the 'Horns are improving at the position, and few other schools in the country have stockpiled as much talent at safety as Texas.
Last year, they secured B.J. Foster and Caden Sterns, two potential All-Americans who played as true freshmen and were dominant at times. With Brandon Jones and Chris Brown back as well, that's a loaded group.
Incoming 4-star safety Tyler Owens is elite, and the speedy star should hop on the field right away. It's enough depth to make the 'Horns move DeMarvion Overshown to outside linebacker.
So, where does that leave Chris Adimora?
The 6'1½", 192-pound safety had plenty of offers and was the 190th-ranked player in the nation, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. However, his path to playing time at Texas is blocked, and it doesn't look like it's getting less clogged anytime soon.
Though Kenyatta Watson looks like a cornerback, he could also jostle for time at safety.
Will Adimora compete and be content if he has to wait for a starting role? Sterns, Foster and Owens are too talented to keep off the field. It'll be interesting to see where Adimora fits

Arkansas site on Henry recruitment.
I'll preface this by saying I'm going to remain professional in all of my answers in this thread.
All I know is Arkansas woke up this morning still thinking he was in the bag, and to their credit, he was. What you may have heard about him coming to visit and checking out apartments on Sunday is true. He was coming to Arkansas, the story was written, it was a done deal.
Evidently, Ole Miss got to his mother last night and did a great job of convincing her that Oxford was the best place for Lakia. I'm told she drove through the night to get to Dodge City today, and the rest is pretty much history. I'll leave it all up for interpretation from there because I honestly don't have all the facts, but I do know Ole Miss did a good job of winning over Lakia's mother.
Just being frank here, this one wasn't even close guys. He was a Hog. It was a done deal -- until it wasn't. I've seen some dandies but this one might take the cake. I'm not sure "surprised" is the word I'd use for how Arkansas feels about it. I don't think they're even that "surprised" by this, but they sure thought they had their guy.
That's recruiting, especially in the SEC.
