From OB March 9th


I haven't connected with Aledo WR JoJo Earle directly, but was told by a source today that Sunday's visit went very well and Texas really helped its chances. It was described to me as a full day dedicated to Earle and his family, and it sounds like the Longhorns made a strong impression on everyone.

This is right before the virus lockdown...
Texas was after him hard..



And that was a full 1.5 years after Texas started recruiting him.

I sat beside Earle at a Longhorn game during one of his visits. 

So please tell me, why are we playing catch up with Earle when we had started recruiting a long, long, long time ago?

Texas not prioritizing him were the words from Earle's own mouth. And its kinda hard to argue that he's a priority when we've misplaced his phone number.

Its interesting that we're recruiting this kid. He's 6'8. What I commonly hear is that excessively tall tackles don't work in today's college football world. I'm inclined to believe based on the last 6'9 tackle we had here.

I like seeing Kate.  Hopefully it's for Thomas tomorrow.  If Thomas does pick Texas, will that have anything to do with Burris?  Meaning will Burris be a lock for ATM or does UT still have a solid chance?

Thomas and Burris are not an either/or situation. Far from it. Burris is destined for DT while Thomas will likely stay outside.

I want Burris pretty bad. He's the quiet monster in the middle, very disruptive. And we need to get plugged into Pleasant Grove. Lots of talent there.

Same with Thomas. This was a regional battle between Texas, LSU and aggy. Texas won this one in a place (golden triangle) where we need all the wins we can get.

And he's a . . . . sundevil. What the fork? lol

That's good to hear.  What's prognosis of Burris?  Is he leaning ATM, UT, or OU?

I like that Texas starting to stack up the interior talent.  Lot's of pieces to mix and match with.

And I saw that Quay Davis committed to USC.

Commitment #3.

Commitment #3.

Yeah, let's see how long this one lasts.  I hope the kid finds what he is looking for

Kate strikes again.  Thomas commits to the good guys.

I would defer to @swaha on the current status, but last I heard we were very much in it. The visit he took here was a very good one. Aggy, OU are the big opposition for him.

Class is starting to look good.  Wiltfong thinks we are in a good spot with Ibraheem and making things interesting with Harmon.  WR seems a concern atm, and we are going to have to sweat out the Brockermeyer's recruitment.  Would be nice to get back in with Byrd and Foster.  Need to get them Arizona OL on campus at some point.
