lol my dude Monarch is not a fan of what recruiting has become. Doesn't bother me so much that they put out their top schools, eight is a bit much, but whatev. Like I said at camps the schools ask for your top 3-5 schools. Also these recruiting services call and ask these guys for their top schools. I just hope Texas ends up in the top 1 spot for a few more of these young guys....it's clear we need more talent.

well of course!  especially in lieu of TEXAS losing to ucla.  this particular recruit hails from the state of california.  marshall, does at least have a sense of state pride.

 
Weathersby quote, â€œThat’s Mack Brown’s class out there right now so we can’t really do anything about that right now,†he said. “When Coach Strong’s class comes in we’re coming out strong.â€

 
We should be on this list

If we could sway Brossette, he would be a HUGE get for Texas. I've followed his recruitment pretty closely, as I follow LSU recruiting. Brossette has some of the best footwork I've seen at the High School level. His balance and elusiveness is incredible. He's got some ruthless aggression as well, I've seen him straight up dive into defenders for more yards. I worry that his style of play could lead to some injuries down the line but it's worked for him thus far. I see him factoring in more at slot receiver in the long run because he has good hands and runs like a slot receiver when he gets into the defensive backfield. But even with that, he'd be a very comprable running back, especially if Watson likes the idea of bringing the backs into the pass game.

One went out to former Oklahoma commit Jamile Johnson, a consensus three-star safety out of South Oak Cliff. The teammate of Texas running back pledge Jordan Stevenson committed to North Carolina on August 19, two weeks after decommitting from Oklahoma.

Texas already has two safety commits in the 2015 class in Converse Judson's Keivon Ramsey and Rockwall-Heath's DeShon Elliott, but Elliott has been talking about taking official visits to other schools and could grow into a linebacker. And the dismissal of redshirt freshman safety Chevoski Collins before the season has also increased need there, which also helps explain the offer to Johnson.

Ranked as the No. 23 safety nationally and the No. 52 player in the state of Texas by 247Sports, Johnson is a 6'0, 188-pounder with the build of a true safety. His strength development is further along than most players of his age, so his size and frame are both impressive.

 * * * 

Playing mostly in off coverage, Johnson consistently makes opponents pay for attempting to completely short passes in front of him. The guess here is that opposing receivers quickly lose the desire to even have those balls thrown in their direction.

Like Elliott, however, Johnson could potentially grow into a linebacker or hybrid defender, though a good playing weight in college for him is probably the 210-pound range. He's also listed at 6'1 and 194 pounds on his 247Sports page, but he measured 6'0 and 188 pounds at the Dallas NFTC, so he's a bit on the short side for a linebacker.

Of the two junior-college tackles, Martinas Rankin is obviously the more well-known since he's actually rated by the services at this point. A 6'5, 300-pounder, Rankin is the No. 10 junior college offensive tackle nationally and the No. 45 overall junior college recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.  He currently holds offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss, among others. 

The 6'5, 295-pound Brandon Hodges is still seeing his recruitment take off, as his only offers at this time are Georgia State, Texas State, and Western Kentucky, making him the more likely of the two prospects to end up in burnt orange.

The eligibility status of both will be important, too, as enrolling in the spring is much more preferable to a summer enrollment.

It's not exactly a secret that the Horns are struggling to find tackles to contribute and even though there are already several prep high school offensive tackles committed, these offers indicate that offensive line coach Joe Wickline is on the prowl for instant-impact tackles.
