2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Daniel Seahorn]

Are we going after guys like him?

Negative.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Isaiah Hoofkin just got ranked by ESPN as a 4*.

Might be on offer watch this weekend during his visit.

And commit watch...

superk on TFB says he is legit plus

 

[Slimer]

Should we expect any surprise visitors?

I think he's sees the potential. He's already good, but will need some work at the next level. A likely RS candidate. But he's an athletic dancing bear who I hear is pretty impressive on a basketball court as well. He's got some things you can't coach.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We're at 20 now, with a likely number of 26-27 to end with.

We're almost full at WR, but will add Bru McCoy at some point. We'll take Higgins or Wilson if they dialed us up.

More work to be done at OL, but I'm afraid the selections are limited. Hookfin is a great find by staff. I think next year's class will be OL heavy and this year's class could possibly end with Hookfin.

More work to be done on the DL. We need a quality big body in the class. I am spooked by aggy's abandonment of Stripling recruitment. Why? Are they full at the position? I just looked. Aggy has three DTs in their class right now.

I'd also keep calling Leal because ya just never know.

At LB if this class is a success to me simply because it includes DeGabriel Floyd. The kid is special. Speed, violence, athleticism in one package. I expect another LB in this class, probably from the JUCO ranks somewhere.

IMO, we need another CB in this class.

We also need another RB, hopefully we'll stay in the Trey Sanders sweepstakes and somehow pull off the upset. Otherwise, give me Newton's Barlow over Katy's Glass and call me snakebit.

Thoughts?

Our ceiling is limited until we start recruiting elite DL. We continue to struggle with that. It's not pretty.

I mean, other than Leal it's an overall pretty down year for DL.  

2020 should be better.  Collins, Dorbah, Broughton, Princely.

Cain when Emery goes to LSU. 

Hoofkin + a JUCO OL.

DL??  Who knows, hopefully Warren, maybe a grad transfer?  Late JUCO offer?

Really need JUCO LB Johnson, and I'd be very tempted to take Shammond Cooper if he wants in.  We need LB's with speed and 2020 is another bleak year in-state.

You must know something with Bru?!?! h34r:

This class will be solid (top 10), maybe not as impactful as last years, but it'll be a great class to go with next years top 5.  2020 OL class will be great, I agree.

Either Cain or Sanders will be fine with me at RB. Or as a sleeper pick Glass.

McCoy .( Loves me some McCoy) Higgins? If he wants in well you don't want to say no to him

 Herman really needs to whoop booty in OL and DL next year. Unless something really happens out of nowhere. I'm beginning to wonder why the staff hadn't gone into a push for Stripling. I'm wondering about that.

Some have said Stripling's senior film has been kind of meh

Yeah I heard something about that too. I would love to take a look at it

Agreed, he needs 2 years(at +1) for both body and technique. Body, most wt, 275 just isn’t enough and technique. I have read he hasn’t played football for a long time, footwork and hand placments mostly. He is worthy of and offer and press until nsd. Boy can he move, and with this O, that’s huge!

Wasnt that kind of the same assessment for JP Urquidez?  I dont mean that in a bad way.  I remember reading he was very athletic and could move coming out of Cove, but had problems keeping weight on. Some kids just take a while to get the right strength. Sign and stash until ready. Hopefully  JP is finally ready to compete next year.

 

[drgilbert]

Just read that Fong thinks Cain goes to Penn St.

I don’t remember JP being very athletic on tape. I was very down on him as a prospect.

That’d be a bit of a curveball from what I heard recently. He is scheduled to OV there after Texas, so that will be something to monitor.

I personally never his tape so I dont have a great assessment.  I do know he didnt look all that impressive in the Orange-White game last spring.  I just remember reading some other write-ups on him and one of the biggest knocks on him was his ability to put good weight on to be competitive at a D1 level.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Enough that I think he could seriously end up at UT. We're walking a tight rope right now, hoping that certain things fall into place. So far, so good. If we're still at the top at the end of his visits, it would be time to get the calculator out.
