No call out to Baker?  

While all of these guys are important, the two most important ones in my book are Baker and McKinley.  Heading into the SEC next year, Texas top quality lineman to compete day in and day out.  Having Wingo, Black, Hudson and Bussey is great, get those other two is a must.

Some OU mod Parker Thune says Texas isn’t the pick for McKinley. Any truth to this??

 

[Steelhammer]

Well, Ketchum just CB'd McKinley to Texas, so we may be screwed here.

Maybe he is the broken clock

I love the fact that Texas is at least "in it" for all

We'll find out for sure on Friday. I will say, the things that keep popping up are distance and academics. He wants to be a computer engineer. Texas has the advantage in both of those. You do the math.

Like your way of thinking.

Zina needs to get this over with and commit. What is he waiting for? I keep hearing that the family wants to see how much his brother plays. What does that have to do with it? Two different players progressing at their own pace and competing for playing time. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but otherwise pull the trigger and save your spot. If Texas does as well as I feel they will, they'll be other options knocking on the door.

Wtf, now apparently Roach is saying aggy for McKinley.  If he chooses aggy.....then shit

aggy is closer to home by an hour, and could be the deciding factor. Would hope that education and coaching would be more important for his long-term future.

This is starting to smell like the Denver Harris recruitment 2 cycle ago. It was all UT- bama all summer then the gags swoop in late to snag him. Hope thats not the case here

TFB had an update on DT Dominick McKinley and they expect Texas to be the pick on Friday.

Any word on if TFB has changed their pick to aggy as well?

 

[Baron]

Someone said it earlier and I hope they're right, this does seem a little like the Colin Simmons recruitment.

Could be. I can't blame these 5 stars for doing what they can to optimize their NIL. Hopefully the BMDs come through.

He may choose aggy but it will not be because it is closer to home by an hour

They're sticking with Texas.
