2020 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Daniel Seahorn]

Van Fillinnger would be really nice 6-3.5 255 right now.  It sure how large his family is but he looks like he can add a lot more good wt. he will be a large 4i, maybe even grow into Nose at 300 in 2-3 years. Very good film , even though competition isn’t that good. Seems to have good instincts inside but needs more technique work like 99% of guys. 

Mods, y’all know how large his lineage is or do u think he can grown into a Nose down the line? 

Unsure about the lineage, but I can ask. Given that Texas doesn’t deploy your typical nose tackles, it wouldn’t surprise me if he cross trained there. 

 

[HORNS GUY]

Definitely worth monitoring. He’s visited twice if I remember correctly. If they take Fillinger I think the sole focus becomes Collins and Texas is in good shape there. 

yes fillinger has visited texas twice

[LAHORN]

Exxxxactly!!

 

[TB14]

Hes like Hager, only talented.

LOL!

I love Hager. He made the most of his tools. I hope Fillinger beats out his production. If he does then he’s a take all day long!

At 16, 6-4, 250 lbs, great agility and power. Doesn’t have the speed and is slightly stiff. He will be 270+ by the time he arrives on campus, is already north of 255lbs.

I don't get the stiff talk so much. Hard to be agile and stiff, too, seems. First few highlights show short choppy steps, maybe it's because of that, but I don't see it after. I mean he's no Von Miller, but that's not his position. Anyway let's hope he bends enough to whip ass on the 40. Welcome Van!

Sometimes it’s best just be patient, folks. Hopefully everyone steps away from the ledge a bit. 

I like it on the ledge. It's better than thinking the sky is falling.

If we get Collins I won't complain about DL recruiting again....until next cycle.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Been a bit busy today. I’ll have a quick hitter post on Fillinger either this evening or tomorrow. 

 

[doc longhorn]

...what?

I'll just say aggy and the SEC and leave it at that.

I know what ur asking. To me it’s just his movement couple steps after the snap. He isn’t bendy, flexible. Without pads at the camps in Oakland, he looked really fluid but not sure what wt he was then. I just feel that 5 mins highlight video showed really good get off and then SOME stiffness. 4.25 agility is very impressive so he can change directions.  My eyes just tell me that his body is a little stiff, some yoga and functional mobility drill would help him a lot. Sorry I don’t have a quantifiable way to explain it.

Do u think there is a chance he de-commits? 

Well it’s the $ec for a reason, it’s they only way they play the game. I am a firm believer we need to do it, and do it at their level. No reason not to, NCAA doesn’t care, and they are spineless worthless cowards anyway.
