2024 Recruiting Board/Thread

[TB14]

That offer list looks much better than the rankings. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Looks like the bottom droped out for Texas commits and targets per.  ew On3 rankings.

 

[TFloss32]

IT saying Sark will have a call with OL Blake Ivy of League City Clear Springs today.

A&M is considered the favorite, but his folks are fans of Texas' business school and Coach Flood plus OL Daniel Cruz are putting in their best effort.

TFB now losing confidence with Selman Bridges. Says Arkansas made a strong move during his visit there last week.

Wardell Mack could pull the trigger at any time.

So it would be down to Mack and Kobe Black as our CBs.

And Santana and Gipson?

And Santana and Gipson?

Santana is already on board and looks to be a nickel. Gipson is a safety prospect for Texas, I've heard.

On3 has revised their rankings . . .

Zino Umeozulu: Dropped (from 191 to out of the 300)

Hunter Moddon (decommit): Dropped (from 121 to 278)

Also, in the new Texas Top 25:

- 0 current Texas commits

- 15 committed to other schools

- Of the 10 remaining, we really don't recruit 4 (Durham, Tatum, Poe, Williams)

- So we are recruiting a TOTAL of 6 guys (including Hudson and Bussey ... )

We know we are in the running for several elite recruits, many from outside Texas, some from Texas (Simmons, Black, Wingo, McKinley, Baker, Carter?, Mack, etc.) ... but we better land these guys.

On Bridges, TFB says he wants to be "the guy" in the CB class. He can be that at Arkansas. At Texas, he would be one of several top dogs in the class.

This is not how the burnt orange conspiracy works. When a kid commits to Texas, they are supposed to automatically become at least a high 4 star... I demand a recount!

The IT guys said take this as a good sign. Not much room on the boat, even though Bridges is darn good 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Texas commits and targets also droped on 24/7 also. Always a mystery how ratings can change so much before season starts.

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Apparently, several services did some updates which they all do from time to time. 

Just wished they had let me know since I did some updating to some data that I keep over the weekend. Oh well, gives me something to do when I'm not playing golf ?

 

[Sirhornsalot]

For the first time since forever, I am more confident in this staff's evaluation process than I am about the ratings from services.

Got be reason say that brother,share wisdom you know?

Our biggest issue in the past has been OL recruiting. Mack signed whoever 24/7 liked. The rest kinda crapped their pants in this realm.

But Flood is killing it. The #1 OL in Texas (according to On3) is the kid from Lindale. He's probably heading to Bama. But Texas didn't offer. I think maybe we saw some Brockemeyer in him and let it be.

Today, OL is a tremendous asset for us and every bit of that can be attributed to Tom Flood.

Skill positions – we have kids who want to come here just to be coached by Sark. That never happened under Mack, though Mack was an OC at one time. At QB, we have not one but two 5-stars and another who was a high 4-star. 

Tashard Choice has brought in some of the best backs in the country. Kids want to play for him.

Our roster is stacked better than ever before, save maybe DKR's era where there were no schollie limits.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Here's aggy qb recruit. Goes from unranked to #58 in On3s rankings. I am losing respect for their rankings as today they admitted they were ranking based on NFL potential, which included friggin hand size for crying out loud.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

This is supposedly the #1 OL in the country, according to On3. It's Bama and then some secondary type schools for him. Hard to compute the reasoning for the ranking.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

This is a kid aggy beat out Vanderbilt and some P5 schools for. The jump here is eye-watering.

Yea, one of the things I've noticed lately with On3 is that it's not unusual for them to be the outlier in the rankings. Both ways. And sometimes, it's an extreme outlier. 

 

[Baron]

On3's ratings are laughable to say the least.
