On3 announced today that the On3 Consensus rankings/ratings will no longer equally weigh all 4 of the big 4 national recruiting sites. Here is the new formula:

If we're still debating Jelani McDonald's height, I'm watching the video IT just put out discussing McDonald's commitment & Justin Wells is adamant that McDonald is 6'3. At one point Bobby Burton says he's 6'2, but later Wells corrects Burton that McDonald is 6'3. At another point, Wells...

On3 has McDonald at 6'2.5 & 190 LBs. Seeing as Gerry Hamilton is involved with the rankings & scouting at on3, I usually trust on3's listings for in-state kids.

The overwhelming majority of the players who have portaled from UT after Sark was hired haven't played well enough at their new destination for UT to regret not keeping them.

Brennan Thompson is a raw undersized catch & run WR who played Texas High School Football at the 3A level. I always thought it was ridiculous that some UT fans thought he would be a go-to WR as a true freshmen. On the other hand, I do think Jonhtay Cook & DeAndre Moore will have higher...

Actually according to this November clip from CBS Sports/247's Cover 3 Podcast criticizing Jimbo Fisher's offense, most college offense are 1-read offenses:

Uhhhh.... It's always been reported, at least by IT/Gerry Hamilton, that UT was recruiting McDonald at LB. McDonald is 6'2.5-6'3. He definitely has the frame to grow into off-ball LB.

I guess you're going off of 247's scouting report, in which they admit Akana's listed size is unverified. You should also read on3's scouting report on Akana, which contradicts the 247 scouting report. My gut tells me the on3 scouting report is probably more accurate becuz if they 247 report...

Seeing as Spencer played SDE (which is the equivalent to the Jack EDGE postion in P.K.'s defense) in High School & was being recruited by UT as a DT and that Akana is being recruited by UT as a Buck EDGE & off-ball LB by OU. I don't see how how u can say Akana is a definitive upgrade...

I gotta a go with T. Scott. Scott is being recruited by, getting offers, & taking OVs to national powers down the stretch.

It looks like Sark & Jeff Banks have finally figured out not to waste scholarships on H.S. & unproven/inexperienced Special Team specialists. Those guys should always be PWOs.

According to Horns247, DL commit Dylan Spencer is currently on a visit at UH:

1. 3 out of the 4 EDGE players that UT recruited in the 2021 class have already portaled out or are currently in the portal. 2. Of the 6 potential EDGE players that UT recruited in the 2022 class, only 3 of them can we confidently say will remain at the EDGE position. Derrick Brown was moved to...

Wow, really??!! UT can probably get a better EDGE player in the portal. The only way pursuing Akana still makes sense is that UT must really like the young EDGE players on their current roster so much, they’re fine taking another H.S. EDGE instead grabbing 1 from the portal.

I think we sleep on Niblett because he's on a bad team that wasn't going to make the playoffs & because he's raw as WR, so he isn't going to make the consistent intermediate & deep receiving plays that Cook consistently makes. I agree about Cook, but I think Niblett ends up with the...

Gonna be interesting to see how the different portal strategies between UT (recuiting on-the-field experienced & productive portal transfer players) and other in-state Big 12 schools like TCU & UH (recruiting portal players who were highly-recruited outta of H.S., but haven't proven it...

LOL at this even still being a question: I always have to chuckle that ever since P.K. was hired as DC, some UT fans can't get over the mental hurdle that there isn't really a big difference between a 2-4-5 nickel defense & and a traditional 4-2-5 nickel defense. Literally the main...
