2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

It’s not a true top class if we don’t flip an OU Sucks recruit. Luckily Jacoby Jones is someone I’d love to wear burnt orange.

Yes, yes, yes!!!

Looks like it's about to happen

 

[shotime73]

And it sets up for Cain to Texas to make more sense now that Emery flipped to LSU

No, Cain still has a visit to Ohio State scheduled. FYI.

I don't think OSU will be a factor tho.

Not 100% sure, but I think I saw in the last week IT or somebody said he canceled the Ohio State OV.

He hasn't. He cancelled an OU visit.

Wasn't real impressed with Auburn or PSU after those visits.

TFB presented quotes from Cain today where he stated why he was going to visit OSU.

I don't think OSU will be a factor either. Which makes me wonder about Sanders

 

[drgilbert]

Is this good news

 

[texasdalton]

Coffee is for closers.

@Daniel Seahorn Does Emery to LSU push Cain towards Texas?

Definitely helps the odds of Texas landing him.

At one point the OSU visit was off. Must be back on again.

Jones de-committing from OU right before his Texas official is definitely something worth monitoring. The need for DL is obvious.

How turn key is jones?

TFB had another update on McCoy today. I'll try to summarize:

– USC's weakness (stability in the program) is our strength. Thats not lost on the McCoys.

– McCoy has two friends in the USC program that he's fairly close to. QB JTD and WR ASB. They think McCoy will gauge their feelings at season's end. They note that McCoy played second fiddle to ASB in HS. (IMO, not sure why he's be eager to do that again.)

– It is now down to USC and Texas. There are no other schools in the mix now.

– Texas has confidence in this recruitment and it grows when USC shows disarray.

– Thinks McCoys are in a wait and see mode. Thinks they are comfortable with the idea of Bru going to Texas now. They're just waiting to see what happens with Helton and other moves (or lack of moves).

– Texas is stable. USC is not, at least for now. Said this will come down to whether the McCoys can believe USC is a stable place/program.

– Has one source that says if Helton keeps his job, Bru goes to USC.

He's calling it 60-40 USC-Texas right now. Thats better than it was a week ago.

It appears they are getting their info from the USC side. IMO if Bru picks USC with the shit show they have right now he was always going there and we were never in it.

How turn key is jones?

I’m going to watch his 2018 film tonight, but I’d imagine he has a chance to contribute right away with Texas set to lose several bodies on the DL after the season. 

 

[HORNfromETX]

JUCO class of:

LB Johnson

DL Jones

OL Cunningham

That would be pretty solid

 

[drgilbert]

EJ just crystal balled Cain to Texas

His film looks pretty good.  He'd at worst be in the immediate rotation.  He's also a January enrollee.

EJ just CB'd Cain to Texas. Daniel, are you in?

My CB would be on Texas as well. I feel like this one ends up making too much sense come decision time.
