2021 Recruiting Board/Thread

OrangeBloods saying they've had a few reporters from different markets reach out to them recently regarding the commitment status of RB Camar Wheaton, and the smoke is getting real as far as him opening things back up or at least keeping an open mind with the drastic changes at Alabama.

They said it's difficult to confirm pretty much anything with Wheaton because he doesn't talk, but it may not be a coincidence that the behind-the-scenes chatter is getting louder due to RB LJ Johnson struggling to make a decision.

I know some prefer Johnson but I've always thought Weaton was the better of the two. would be a big time addition.

I would take either and be as happy as a puppy with two peters.

yeah but its really not that big of a need right now. Jonathan Brooks is better than both.

They are totally different backs with very different skills. Johnson is more of a Ingram-type runner. Wheaton is more of a Metcalf type runner.

I wouldn't say that . . yet. I'd like to see all three in burnt orange and playing our backfield.

Neither LJ nor Wheaton are likely.  They're casting a net in hopes to land a RB.

Per OrangeBloods, Texas has been in touch with RB Jaylin White from Dothan, AL.

He spoke with Coach Drayton last night and was told he should know soon if he'll receive an offer.

Don't know but I assume that Sark knows what he needs.  

Is Derrian Brown ever going to play again?

I didn't see Daniel Young play much this year.

I didn't see Daniel Young play much this year.

Young opted out due to Covid in 2020, no telling if he takes the field again.  I doubt Brown sees the field, but he'll get an incredibly valuable degree.

On DE Garfield Lawrence of Tyler Legacy...IT saying they expect him to commit to Houston soon.

He apparently felt a bit overwhelmed at the thought of playing for Texas, especially with two veteran edge rushers transferring in.

I thought we had a good shot at LJ again?

A&M and Texas are simply waiting at this point.

 

[Eastexhorn]
