2023 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Basis Points]

There's one more expected to drop today.

sounds like you have a specific name you are waiting on.  No worries, it has already been a great day.

 

[TFloss32]

Are we done for today? 

I notice we are already up to #5 on the 247 team recruiting ranking.

Hamilton at IT saying 50/50 chance there's another tonight.

So far a lot of highly rated commitments. I would like to seea couple of DBS commit.

They contacted Texas 20 minutes after Arch committed.

Wish he was still at Allen.

We've got tremendous momentum now, but we have one more hurdle to clear...defense. Kwiakowski may be a great defensive coordinator, but so far, he hasn't shown that at Texas. 

IMHO, we pay Gary Patterson whatever it takes to get him a title and position on the defensive staff. Co-coordinator/Assistant head coach, whatever. Being a defensive analyst is too temporary. To me, that would show that we're really serious about having a great defense as well. 

Get him a NIL deal he can't refuse. Lol

There's another hurdle, the 2022-23 season.  We HAVE to perform...out-perform expectations.  It's one thing to win the recruiting wars.  It's another thing to win on the field.  We've had good classes before and that hasn't translated to success on the field.

We have never had quarterbacks like we do now

No disrespect but any view why these OL have lower rankings and less prominent offers?  I can't judge OL so I have to rely on the coaches, but last year each was highly rated?  Is it a down year for O lineman in TX compared to last year or just harder to sign the top rated guys with the numbers we added last year?  I am assuming most will redshirt.

With that said, welcome aboard Stroh, Cojoe, and Chatman!!!  Can't wait to see you on the 40 acres next year

I hear ya, I expect only Chatman that might  see playing time @ Texas  don't transfer.  Stroh & Cojoe unless injury  or transfers from last year happen. They stay for depth.

By the way, we're now sitting with the nation's 5th ranked class at 24/7. When I started looking at it early today, we were at #10.

I think we started Friday ranked around 34th.

Great damn weekend.

Tapp is the hero we need.

I think we're in line for some improvement in conference play, but I'm nervous about the inevitable bloodbath in Week 2 against the Tide that puts a magnifying glass on just how far behind we are to the best of the best.

IT saying a pretty highly-ranked national recruit texted the staff a picture of himself in a cowboy hat today.

They're saying there's a lot of FOMO (fear of missing out) going around.

Conner Williams and Zack Shackelford were 3 star O lineman that proved very capable starters. 

If Kyle Flood wants them them there is no reason to assume they have no chance of being eventual starters.

Roach and Standish of 247 both put in Texas crystal balls for OL Trevor Goosby of Melissa.

DE Billy Walton of Dallas South Oak Cliff told 247 this weekend was the best visit he's had hands down.

Great damn weekend.

We keep taking middle of road 3* and in December we could be out of top 10. Hope wrong but think these our depth.

 

[General Hooker]

#7 may be a little too young.....or he is just very little.  Either way, not college ready

Isn't that Kyler Murray? Tell him to go home!

 

[Rotty22]

I haven't yet memorized faces/numbers yet.  Can anyone provide names left to right?  I know 79 is Stroh (sp?)
