2020 Recruiting Board/Thread

Anybody think we could get a commit this weekend?  Maybe Majors?

I think Josh White could get an offer this weekend.

 
Majors is Texas to lose. I don't know how hard we're pressing at this current moment with guys like Lindberg way a head on the OL board. Interesting to see how many OL we take this cycle with a lot of top talent guys in state and easily room to take 4-6 OL

The key is, Majors would help land Lindberg. Plus I don't think Texas would take more than 5 OL.

Garth, Majors, Parr, Lindberg, George are the big 5

 
Lindberg could fall potentially. If you like Evans, you want Lindberg and George in this class.

Im with you. Just knowing that we wanted to take 4 in this years class and are going to settle for 2 and probably a Grad transfer we have more room on the depth chart

 
Hopefully, they're wrong about Evans.


Early Landing Spot Predictions for CFB's Top 10 Recruits for 2020





10. Kelee Ringo


1 OF 10

Position: Defensive back

Height/Weight: 6'2", 200 pounds

High School: Saguaro High School, Scottsdale, Arizona

The past two recruiting classes have proved Texas coach Tom Herman knows what he's doing on the recruiting trail, and the youngsters are listening.

At no other position is that more noticeable than defensive backs, where Herman and coordinator Todd Orlando have experienced exceptional success in the 2018 and '19 classes, signing players like Caden Sterns, B.J. Foster, Jalen Green and DeMarvion Overshown in the '18 class.

They followed that group up with Kenyatta Watson II, Tyler Owens and Chris Adimora this year.

Next season, a good bet to be added to the Longhorns' embarrassment of riches in the defensive backfield is Kelee Ringo, a hard-hitting jumbo safety who is athletic enough to play anywhere in the secondary. 

Texas still struggled last season against the pass, though it improved as the year progressed. Prospects still see playing time, and there are several connections to Ringo's high school, where Texas offensive coordinator Tim Beck used to coach.

Ringo's current position coach, Bryant Westbrook, played cornerback at Texas before getting selected in the first round of the 1997 NFL draft. While USC, Washington, Ohio State, Arizona State and others will be in Ringo's ear, the connections may be tough to pass up.

At any rate, he's a top-tier Texas target, and it's a safe bet to go with the 'Horns at this stage.

Prediction: Texas


2. Zachary Evans


9 OF 10

Position: Running back

Height/Weight: 6'0", 205 pounds

High School: North Shore High School, Houston, Texas

There are going to be several good, old fashioned recruiting battles in the Lone Star State now that Tom Herman is at Texas and Jimbo Fisher signed his big contract with the Texas A&M Aggies.

Both coaches are experiencing immense success in the 2019 cycle, with the Aggies (3rd) and Longhorns (8th) firmly in the top 10. Surprisingly, Herman got a lot of his recruiting victories in this class outside of the state, while Fisher has thrived within state borders.

Is that a trend, or is it just something that transpired this year? The state certainly has enough quality playmakers to outfit both programs and many more with elite players.

The best in the state in the 2020 cycle is running back Zachary Evans, a sturdy 6'0", 205-pound powerhouse who will be able to go anywhere he wants. The Longhorns and the Aggies are among the favorites.

Evans' top 11 are Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M and Washington, so don't look for him to make a decision anytime soon. But with the Longhorns needing a premiere back and A&M losing Trayveon Williams, openings abound.

"I like Jimbo Fisher. I mean…it's just him," Evans told GigEm247's Damon Sayles. "I like the running backs coach [Jay Graham] and the O-line coach [Jim Turner]. Everybody knows I'm big on the O-line. I've been talking to them plenty."

It's a crapshoot to guess where a player who has 11 schools on his list is going, but it's just hard to envision Evans leaving Texas with two elite recruiters trying to sway him to them and at positions of need.

The guess is Fisher wins this battle.

Prediction: Texas A&M

I wouldn’t bet on it. The big thing this weekend is just getting in front of the recruits and cultivating the relationship. Still relatively early and some plan on taking spring officials.

Agree. I think we get Lindberg before we get Majors.

Majors is among the highest priorities for the staff and is being courted accordingly.

Texas is in good shape across the board here too, with Parr obviously already being committed.

Now with this in mind, the expected list of names set to be on campus this weekend is LOADED. A lot of elite prospects set to make their way to Austin, including multiple five stars.
