The HornSports Top 50 for 2016

[Agmaniacmike]

On 2017,the kid that stands out above the rest for me is Toneil Carter, RB from Langham Creek.

I know 3 2017s that will be BIG TIME

Don't like seeing so many of the top 50 committed to Baylor, but I have faith in CFS to flip a few of these kids to the good guys before NSD 2016!

I don't expect that to last. The momentum that the Texas Coaching Staff will have in recruiting next year after this 2015 class couldn't possibly be overstated. These kids don't have to set the bar, 2015 did that, they just have to help support it. I think that will be appealing to a lot of the top of the line talent. If Texas plays well against BU this year, I expect the trend of recruits to Baylor to practically stifle.

SHA - I think Kam is a fantastic slot but other guys are way more complete.

Blame me for the low ranking of Wallace. He's a nice athlete but I didn't see anything out of him in the playoffs that makes me think he's a QB

2016....... 2017? 

We are barely 2 days from the 2015 NSD class and I am still absorbing what they will do for the current team, etc.

HS, I love ya' - your a 24/7 Horns fan machine!!!

LET'S RIDE!!!

Fair enough. Who's the best running back in the state, in your opinion? (2016 class)

I understand the issue with Wallace' arm, but he made due with it. His legs made him the most dangerous player on the field though. And that was as a junior.

 

[Mike Roach]

He was great running Qb power but honestly looks like a plodder as a runner. I'll have to see him again

 

[Mike Roach]

I like Devwah Whaley best in class as a runner.

If you're interested in skipping to 2017 just know that Garland and I are working on an early 2017 watch list right now.  No idea when it will be finished as we are just getting acquainted with names, but yes I'm a big Shawn Robinson fan. 

To give you guys an idea here, Garland and I each come up with our top 50 and then average the scores together to make the final rankings.  At that point we will debate and lobby for a few players here and there.  We will probably update this again sometime after the camp circuits in the spring and summer. 

I hope those feelings on Jones are right, that kid is a stud.  Any of the top 3 guys could be #1 and while Little is a monster, Hudson has the most upside of the two.  That kid just moves so well.  It's a deep year for receiver talent as well, and I think Buechele is the guy Texas will target.  I also think Hurts is the top guy in the state, and am a big fan of Dillon Sterling-Cole after seeing him at Elite 11 last year.

Can you and Garland post your top 50s with a small or large blurb on each guy? Its a lot of work but would be great to read and we can follow these guys over their sr seasons. thanks

That's something we can certainly look at for the next release.

The Texas staff did an excellent job with 2016 kids throughout the Fall. If you go back and look at who came to games, those are the kids that will be invited to Junior Days and camps.

Dude. . . .

I want to be spoon fed, no clue how much work it would take to go back and read all that.  

So having said that, I'll ask some questions:

I'll spot you DL (clearly the #1 need in 2016). . your top "need" positions

How many ships are we likely to offer?

A summation of kids who visited often/most likely CFS' top targets.

CFS don't need no recruiting rankings, your "CFS specials". . .those lower ranked kids most likely to be "coached up" at the next level.

You need a QB in each class, who do you like best for 2016?  CFS has offers to 5 nationally well ranked guys, who's the leader coming out of turn 1 (NASCAR/Horse racing analogy)

Oh yeah, I was in a meeting, how did the radio show go?  I'll post the podcast as soon as it's available.

 

[Mike Roach]

It's a small class right now. 14 expected in attrition plus a few more I'm sure. Texas is likely to go hard after the 3 top safeties. I'd expect 5 ships to the DL. Give me Shane Buechele or Jalen Hurts at QB and also watch out for Shea Patterson and Dwayne Haskins as national QB prospects.

Radio interview went well. Waiting for Ryan to send the audio.

Thanks, sorry I missed
