2018 Recruiting Board/Thread

[DMAC]

– Rondale Moore: Texas’ slot WR need in the 2018 class is filled by Trinity (KY) WR Rondale Moore. He’s only 5’8 175 pounds, but he’s also one of the most electrifying players in the nation. But there have been some rumblings about the strength of his Texas commitment, so I talked to some people close to him.

I was told the fact that Texas struggled in week 1 had an impact, but that hasn’t really been the cause of him reconsidering his commitment. The factor that has an impact for a lot of out of state recruits, is weighing on Moore. That factor is the distance to home. Texas is more than a 15 hour drive from his hometown, and the main school that could flip him in Purdue is only three hours away.

Yes, that may be a surprise that Purdue could be the school that pulls him away from Texas, but there’s another factor in play here. Purdue HC Jeff Bhrom was a HS QB legend at Moore’s HS back in the day. So people around the school and the area love Bhrom. Purdue was also the school recruiting Moore the hardest when he made his commitment to Texas.

Obviously winning can help Texas here, but I think getting him on campus again will go a long way in reselling things. – (Andrew)

Also On Caden Sterns

Caden is very articulate. When I asked him his thought on the Maryland game he said “I just saw a new team. Like I’ve said before, you can’t build Rome in a day. When people expected Tom Herman and that team to go out there and turn on – it doesn’t work like that. It’s a process. Those people who said that they shouldn’t go out there and lose to Maryland – they don’t know football. I saw a good team. They beat themselves. And when they beat themselves Maryland made plays. Maryland is a good squad. It was just blown coverages and missed tackles… Just mental mistakes. It is what it is and when you play good teams like that they’ll make you pay.”

Just curious but is there anything to these recent LB offers?  Is there potential wavering by our current commits and this is plan b?

Most likely they are backup plans just in case things go south elsewhere.

Have you heard any rumblings about Peyton Wilson and Texas?

Haven't heard that name come up just yet.

Rumor on the gagem board is that O'Neal may be wavering.  Lulz at the thought of an aggy meltdown if he jumps ship.  Get your popcorn ready when Rumlin is canned.  Also DeShaun White is visiting OU this weekend.

Wouldn't mind going after White, I like him a linebacker.

 

[okiehorn]

I don't even want even want O'Neal, he seems like a tool. Don't need that attitude on this team

I'm surprised Texas hasn't offered White. No comment on O'Neal.

Here's a name to keep in mind in case Rondale Moore flips: Julon Williams of Converse Judson. Committed to Houston.

Daniel any word of Cameron Rising will be in attendance? Being is California I would assume he would be. Do believe you always have said USC could be the team to pull him away

also any word on what Anthony cook thought of the beating he watched in Columbus? Obviously not as bad as Maryland but I the Ohio st will lose couple more before it's over 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Things are about to shake up a little within the next two weeks.

 Ronnie Perkins and Daniel Carson: Last weekend, Texas hosted two talented defensive linemen from Missouri in Ronnie Perkins (St. Louis, MO) and Daniel Carson (Independence, MO). Not surprisingly both have been pretty quiet since the visit but we managed to dig up some notes through various sources. Here is the skinny:

*Perkins loved the visit. He made the trip with both his parents and they made it clear that the visit exceeded expectations. Perkins said as much to me via text. Perkins also said he wants to take a return visit to Texas.

*Carson is a hard read. He is hit or miss in terms of communication and everywhere he’s been we’ve attempted to get a sense from either sources close to him or on the school side about how the visit went and it’s always the same response, he’s hard to read. So, that isn’t much other than to say that Texas’ inability to read Carson isn’t necessarily a bad sign as other programs have had similar difficulty.

*I’ve said it for a while and the Texas visit only reinforced my belief that Perkins is going to decide between Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Perkins has an older brother who plays at Missouri but he has told me that his brother doesn’t push him in any particular direction. Perkins mother does seem to favor Missouri but I’m told that ultimately both the parents are truly leaving the decision to Ronnie.

*Texas knocked the visit out of the park but as one source close to Perkins said, “it’s going to be tough to tell where things are headed until he takes another visit and is able to compare them”. The visit to watch will be the one he takes to Oklahoma. He tells me that visit will happen “very soon”. – (Super K)

Not sure on Rising. What I've heard on Cook lately hasn't been positive for Texas.

Mentioned this awhile back as a possibility. Texas offered the top JUCO offensive tackle in Badara Traore today.

Could take an official, but given that he hasn't any previous trips to Austin I wouldn't get too excited.
