Something to chew on for next season...IT mentioned today they think LB Liona Lefau can start next year alongside LB Jaylan Ford.

I believe it.  I saw that kid play a couple of weeks ago and he was by far the best player on the field and there were some big kids out there.  dude was a missile.

They even mentioned him sliding into the Overshown role.

A true freshman LB?!? I have to see it to believe it. Surely we have someone better--Bush, Brockermeyer ?. Seriously, if we have to start a true freshman, it's a position of need. We need to get a portal LB.

Doesn't sound like a "have to" situation where he's in there out of necessity.

They want him to play.

Seriously, from what I saw I'm confused on why this kid is not a high 4 star or 5.  He was sideline to sideline and brought it.  Dropped well in coverage and very fluid.  He better get a huge bump.

According to IT, JUCO DT Elijah Davis is not expected to visit Texas before signing.

Anything on the other JUCO DT Hunter?  Figured we would try to get at least one, maybe two, JUCO/portal DT's.

Hey....If this staff will start a freshman at Left Tackle and QB they will start one anywhere....

Anywhere he wants

 

[NEOkHorn]

Anywhere he wants

As long as he’s wearing Burnt Orange.?

Anywhere he wants

He just needs to pull the trigger and jump on board.  Greathouse as well.

IT said today Texas is trying to get WR Kyle Parker of Lucas Lovejoy on campus Friday for the Baylor game.

If he can't make it for whatever reason, they'll try again in December since his team is now out of the playoffs.

Interesting that they are not targeting the other Parker, i.e. Livingstone, who has height and is just as or faster than Parker #1.

The exodus has begun from aggyland: Per Twitter -- Texas A&M EDGE Donell Harris Jr. tells on3's Hayes Fawcett he will enter the transfer portal. The 6’4 230 EDGE from Miami, FL was ranked as a Top 10 player in the ‘21 class before reclassifying to 2020 (finished as a Top 60 recruit).

Maybe becuz Parker Livingstone is a 2024 recruit, NOT a 2023 recruit.

A couple weeks ago, I remember Justin Wells or Gerry Hamilton saying on a IT livestream that the Texas staff is really high on Lefau and they think he'd be considered on the same talent level as Anthony Hill if he played in 5A or 6A Texas Football instead of in Hawaii.

Where does that leave Hill? 

Ant Hill is a 5-star LB who would be in the 2-deep, if not a starter, on Day 1. UT has to take him especially when you consider that UT could lose all 3 starting off-the-ball LBs from their base defense if Jaylon Ford decides to leave early for the NFL draft.

 

[TFloss32]

Hill definitely keeping an eye on Ford's big year.

Will be fun to watch.

There will be some drama somewhere. They really need to figure out this transfer portal asap.
