2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Bear19]

I hope the highest bidder, presuming it is not us, has buyers remorse.

I don't even know what that means. I gotta feed my family (ok, that's about others) ... this one is strictly for me (that's about me). Dude at least make sense.

Jordan Moore will not be a Horn. Jason Washington wanted him, but numbers are tight. Per brainiacs.

Inside Texas mods have indicated we are improving our position with Catalon.  Am curious if this may be why we can't take Jordan as well.

Jordan should walk on if he wants to be at Texas.  Texas shouldn’t waste a scholly on him 1. He has to sit a year, 2. He was about the 5-6th option last year and 3. Texas has better already signed.

I'm scratching my head on that one.

That's my question I'm wondering

I heard that Lakota Henry doesn’t have the right math course to be admitted into a SEC school. Has anyone else heard that?

I don't know if it was math but this is how Gary Johnson fell into our laps.  He was committed to Bama, but there was some SEC requirement that he hadn't met.

Was he committed to bama after his juco stint as well?  I know he was a bama commit out of HS.

Can someone summarize who are our targets for NSD2, if they are JUCO/Grad transfer/HS, and how likely we'll sign them?

No new offers have gone out.  I bet we look to take a JUCO/Grad transfer OL and maybe a grad transfer RB.  We may just stand pat with where we are at and take a full class for 2020, which is deeper in-state plus we have the momentum.

Shepherd's OV is over and no flip.

Shepherd's OV is over and no flip.  

If Texas can make it to their visit without a flip occurring then the odds improve of him sticking. Still got a couple more visits to get past.

Shepherd's OV is over and no flip.  

For now!

Superlatives to close the book on the 2019 All-American Bowl




Best run-game linebacker: De'Gabriel Floyd

Floyd wants to be involved in the run game. He’s comfortable in the box and he plays downhill. You’d be surprised how many linebackers come to an all-star setting and don’t have that mentality. Guards had a hard time all week getting to Floyd on the second level and he was sniffing out the football regularly.

Shepherd was quoted on TOS saying (paraphrased) I'm committed to Texas and will make my college choice on Feb. 6.

I don't even know what to say about that. smh

yea, no kidding. He needs to be called on this BS. I'm not committed to anyone and I'll let the coaches know when I do.

I hear it suggested a lot in this forum to “save ships.”  In other words, to not use up available scholarships because there are players eligible for scholarships a calendar year away that we MIGHT be able to sign.  I’m going to suggest that this practice is extremely rare and if tried is loaded with risk.   I’d say using available scholarships in today’s world is paramount.  

I’ll stand down, ready to be corrected since so many people seem to think this is a good idea.
