SHA, what are you hearing now on Shemar Turner? Seems like the momentum we once had of a possible silent has now turned to us being in the running, but possibly trailing a couple of other schools?

I don't really think we're trailing anybody. We're just not alone at the top any more. Bama is now a player as is aggy and OU. In the end, I think Bama is too far away for him. Aggy will probably recruit their way out of this, too. Another DL recruit we're both after, Regis I think, was just put through a 3-hour zoom meeting with jimbo. He was not very happy about that.
OU scares me because the talent is still a little thin up there on DL. They sell immediate playing time.
We do have a Horn on the staff there at DeSoto, so there's that.

I’m not the expert here... but I would imagine our recruiting efforts are now exclusive to the guys who put their hands on the ground... with the exception of a possible RB?

No expert either but if I was a betting man I would go with a LB to commit after the WR.

I can’t sit through 3 hours of Longmire.... the greatest show going (commence with old man jokes)
Sorry, I have not checked the board in a few days. Torrey Phillips is a “diamond in the rough”. I think he has the best feet of all the big men on the PG team. For a kid his size, he can handle the basketball really well. To me, he projects as an offensive tackle. I know Kansas has already told him he is an offensive recruit. Torrey has not come up through the PG system, so the buy-in has not always been there. The word is he took a big step to correct that this year. He has put the work in and should see significant playing time. He did not play a ton of minutes in last years playoff run because he tended to take plays off. When I see him, I tend to think of Jason Peters of Queen City TX. At the the time B Norton of T High was telling Mack Brown to recruit him, but Brown felt like he took too many plays off. However, football has been good to Jason Peters. Could Phillips be another Peters, only time will tell.
At this point, I am not sure Texas can take a chance on Phillips due to potential grade issues(he was not eligible at one point during basketball season) and not enough solid film work. I hope it all works out for him because he could change his and his family’s life.
No one knows why he has not pulled the trigger to OU. Marcus plans to graduate in December. So wherever he lands, he can rehab at the school. I know OU has already told him that. As far as Aggy, I am not sure what happened with Jackson, Aggie coaches, and the PG coaching staff. The last thing I heard was they now contact a local gym owner to get messages to Burris.

If he is any where as good as Peters sign him as soon as possible. Mack strikes out again.
