2018 Recruiting Board/Thread

[HORNfromETX]

Do we know when the Grad transfer OL guys are visiting?  Surely the Rice tackle from Westlake  HS had been local recently?

Stanford kid visited this past weekend and may still be on campus. 

Beck and Warehime went to visit the Rice kid last Friday.

CB Watch! Both Williams and Okechukwu will visit this weekend and could get offers.

Hopefully we land some of this DL talent so Giles can get off the hot seat.

If we keep Coburn and get those 3 above and I'll be happy about the DL.

What you have in Jackson is an athlete who is built to do many things well, not just a specific skill set. As he's shown offensively, he is in the athletic freak category. His HC says he's very coachable, eager to learn.

He checks all the boxes for me. Higher than average athleticism, receptive attitude that desires to be the best, intelligent, and in a raw state is farther advanced than most who have been well coached at bigger schools and non-uil football programs.

I'm very high on Jackson in case you can't tell. I think he has AA potential. There's a reason Bama went after him.

We've been in that Louisiana pipeline for a few years now. Roach was a helluva steal from LA. Maybe Williams is, too. I'd take both these cats and celebrate.

Thanks. Generally speaking. Ut I love the dog some of these Louisiana athletes have, not saying Texas players don't (and there are more players in Texas) but some of those guys have that swagger along with talent. I think it's the best talent per capita state. 

What at about Caleb Okechukwu? All 3 project to 4i imo.

I hear Texas feels good about the Williams kid, even before his visit. 

We're being fed conflicting reports by one of TOS who say the Jackson visit is going ho-hum. Those tweets don't look much ho-hum to me.

Okechukwu could be committing to us soon.

Oh yeah, I have to post this.

I'm hoping we don't have to wait two more weeks for any commits to go down.  Kate says make the decision to the good guys, that goes for you DL recruits as well.

Is this something that is rumored to he hapenning or just wishful thinking?

It’s really not just a rumor. Being from here there serious talk that he may leave. Lincoln Riley wants his own regime. All these coaches know is bob, exactly why it wasn’t hard for there strength and condition coach of 19 years to leave this week. I wouldn’t be surprised is mike rides off into the sunset, and his defensive showing against Georgia doesn’t help any.

Problem is it won't happen until a few days after NSD, if it happens this year. That's too late for Deshaun White

If all those DE's do end up signing with us does that hurt us with the 2019's? Leal, Sweat, Stripling, etc.? 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

If all those DE do end up signing w us does that reduce the chances w the 2019's? Leal, Sweat, Stripling? 

Doubtful. Texas will be losing Omenihu, Nelson and Chisholm after 2018 in addition to already being pretty thin on some DL spots. The elite 2019 DL kids shouldn’t be scared off by playing time concerns.

It's recruiting so anything can happen but it appears the Ossai recruitment is over. If it holds will be a huge get for Herman

Auburn was going after Rice grad transfer Calvin Anderson. This hire should help with him
