I will now make great sacrifices to the football Gods, just so he will see his new team get throttled. :angry:

I honestly thought he could flip. I like him and there couldve been a role for him, but it wouldve been hard in that back field. You have Young (if he doesnt transfer), Ingram, RoJo (who I think stays at RB), Whittington, and Bijan. 1Sr, 1 Jr, 1 So, 1 RsFr, and 1 Fr. Add in the possibility of Dixon coming on board and even if he did sign this year he probably was going to be a transfer candidate, imo. Thats a crowded RB room and all of them deserve time (maybe not so much young). Bijan is a must keep at all costs.

I'm just putting two and two together, but it sounds like he was told UT would go to a 4-man front.

This is why UT has been in pursuit of Lancaster's Kevontre Bradford and 1 other target whose name TFB would not release (they were asked not to). Both are ranked as 4-stars.

Heard sports radio folks today discussing that using a diversified defensive scheme would be better than strictly declaring a 3 vs 4 man front.

Rivals is reporting that Ty Jordan has indeed flipped his commitment from Texas to Utah. Texas has a specific name in mind to replace him with in the DFW area. Still pushing for a 2 RB class. Article soon.

If you're wondering why we're having trouble with Utah and recruiting . . . Cameron Rising

Saw the South Carolina veteran QB just transferred to Utah as a grad transfer. I wonder if he hosted his recruiting visit as well??

I would think that if new offers are going out, there is at least a pretty good feeling about who will be calling the defense next year. Especially involving CBs and whether they are better suited for man or zone schemes.
Any ideas if we have a shot at this kid or anything about him other than being a 4 star from Georgia?

Merurial LOL. That's a nice word for Zack

THE STORYLINE
There have been so many perceived frontrunners and so many surprises in the recruitment of five-star running back
Zachary Evans
that at this point nothing is too shocking.
He’s going to commit, he’s not going to commit. The date has been set, it’s been pushed back. Texas leads, no Texas A&M does, no Georgia does, no Alabama does, no LSU has the advantage.
It’s been a long drama with the Houston (Texas) North Shore standout, but it’s becoming clear that LSU is the frontrunner in his recruitment, or at least the flavor of the month.
Rated as the fourth-best running back in the 2020 class, Evans took an official visit to Baton Rouge this season and while there still seems to be some serious flirtation with Texas A&M and others, the Tigers are consistently brought up as a top program.
Just last week it was reported that Evans was only days away from making his pledge. Then that got pushed back. The Under Armour game could be a target date now.
Can LSU land the five-star running back or are there even more twists and turns ahead?
FIRST TAKE: Sam Spiegleman, Texas and Louisiana analyst
“LSU has a sizeable lead, but with Evans, things are fluid constantly. Looking back, it was Texas and then it was Georgia and then it was Alabama and now it feels like LSU.
“He hasn’t taken any official visits since the LSU visit for the Auburn game in October. It has been the favorite ever since. That’s not to rule out Texas A&M and that’s really the only team really left in the mix. With North Shore continuing to march on in the playoffs and Signing Day getting closer, it feels like when and not if he lands at LSU.”
SECOND TAKE: Mike Farrell, National recruiting director
“LSU is definitely the team to beat. As long as they’re patient and they can put up with a lot of this, then he’ll end up at LSU. A few times, they’ve thought he was going to commit, expected him to commit and then he didn’t pull the trigger most recently in the last couple weeks.
“Now he’s expected to announce at the Under Armour game. They’re in it deep enough now that they’re going to wait. He’s a big boom-or-bust prospect, but he’s too talented for them to let go. Texas A&M will stay in there and be an option if LSU says enough of this, but LSU pretty much has this locked up
