2024 Recruiting Board/Thread

[TB14]

CENTER
Cruz (Texas heavy favorite, commitment likely within 48 hours)

GUARDS
Brooks IV (Texas appears to lead, but Kibble commitment may have taken his spot)
Carter (scheduled to officially visit in September)
Ivy (A&M, LSU and Texas - not clear who leads, but Texas likely to take him)
Kibble (committed to Texas)
Saina (priority for Texas and they look good)

TACKLES
Baker (down to Ohio St, Oregon and Texas)
Calhoun (fight between Georgia and Texas)

Thanks. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Only 2 tackles is a tad odd. Better get at least 1!

That's a reflection of a few things like who they took last year, two targets they liked (Daniels, Williams) choosing to go elsewhere and not scheduling an official with another (Uini).

The staff will adjust their strategy if they don't land Baker and/or Calhoun.

 

[Eastexhorn]

It's a silent because the player committed to the staff in order to reserve his spot.

If anyone doesn't believe there are silent commitments out there, they aren't reading the massive tea leaves right in front of their face.

Oh I belive there are silents. Also belive in todays recruiting a spot's reserve is on thin ice. Both ways staff and. commit.

Per IT, DE Deshawn Warner of Goodyear, AZ will be committing on July 1st.

However, they said don't expect Texas to push here due them looking good with other edge prospects, specifically the recent news with DE Colin Simmons.

It's certainly not a good practice to draw out your commitment if you've made a silent to someone.

Few guys can get away with that.

That makes me nervous. Warner is a good prospect. Simmons could totally change direction. A bird in hand . . .

If they're letting Warner go, they feel good about Okoye and/or Umeozulu too.

Umeozulu is the better prospect. I don't think Warner is even in the top 3 of our Edge targets.

 

[TFloss32]

IT expects DT Alex January of Duncanville to commit in early July.

They also mentioned DL spots could be filling up fast by that time.

IT hinting today it's possible Texas doesn't take an LB this cycle.

IT reporting LB Khmori House of Bellflower, CA will commit on July 15th.

They expect it to be Auburn or Washington, while Texas pulls back and re-evaluates the position.

If Texas were signing multiple LBs in this cycle, they believe House would be a take.

Love how this sets up for Texas as you're potentially getting a commitment every couple of days for weeks.

Per IT, DE Zina Umeozulu of Allen impressed the staff with his frame this weekend.

Sounds like he's a take.

https://247sports.com/player/zina-umeozulu-46114446/

They mentioned CB Selman Bridges of Lake Belton as another guy who impressed everyone from a physical standpoint.

[TFloss32]

I know some of y'all don't like the vague hints, but IT mentioning there's another prospect who could shut it down any day now.

Not Simmons.

Hamilton at IT...

"I got to say ... just spoke with a long time source in the New Orleans area ... Wardell Mack and Texas are definitely a real thing."
