Is Latham, Washington, and Alford going to be a deal with whichever the first 2 jump on board get the spots?  Thompson has a spot no matter what IMO.

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

On the WR discussion I can see a scenario where we'd only take 2 if it was Mookie and JWilson provided the "shoot the moon" strategy starts to fall into place and we take down some big names at other positions. Competition at WR is going to be fierce.

Can't we take all three? 2 safeties + a nickel

I was also factoring Thompson in as having a spot no matter what.

Think it all depends how and when the dominoes fall.

"I think they made a movie about him.  Never saw it."

If they gomers made a movie about him it had to be "To Sir With Love" .

I don't think anyone thought Ricky was a generational talent out of high school

Mackovic thought he was a generational FB.

Reading that we’re fighting Washington, USC, and UCLA for 5 star Johnny Wilson is fucking hilarious compared to the schools we’d be fighting for a similar player in the southeast, or even in Texas. We need to continue to get a foothold out west because it’s the much, much easier direction to go for OOS talent. Not to mention, those recruitments tend to be way cleaner.

It helps that Tosh is gone from Bama, as he always had Bama in the top group for the west coast elites. Also, I've noticed that Clemson and Georgia are trying to get in on a lot of these kids, although the flight to Austin is much more attractive for these kids than a flight to the east coast.

Well, to be fair, he was. Could also have been a generational linebacker, if he'd wanted to be.

That sounds right although I've read we're looking at taking 6 DBs in this class so either a third CB or S in addition to Alford.  Maybe:

2-3 CBs out of: Ringo, Eaton, Watts

2-3 Safeties out of: Thompson, Washington, Ransom

Safety/Nickel: Alford

Not just distance but also culture. As someone who grew up on the west coast, getting me to go to the southeast would’ve been a much, much tougher sell than Austin. The west and southeast are about as different culturally as you can get in the continental US.

Now get this honky, you go tell Rafael that I ain't taking no jive from no Western Union messenger. You tell that asshole if he got something to tell me, to get his ass down here himself.

I'm enjoying the "Is Evans a generational talent or not" debate, but I do think it needs a little context.

The production value is pretty bad, but... this is what a generational player's high school tape looks like:

Debate may now continue. My own position is "Why the hell are you asking me? I'm an expert gardener, not football coach."

I think Cooper, the dude out of Temple, and Wilson are all top targets and, of course, Cooper committed already. They are going to look far and wide for a burner. 

We also need more 6'6'' pogo sticks. Johnny Wilson is obvious, but these jump ball guys are becoming the new elite burners in some respects.

Well he was. 

I'd forgotten that the Pylon 7v7 tournament was put on by Baron Flenory. At least that dude is out of Texas now.

I'm interested to see if Texas continues to pursue Omeire. New shit can come to light in recruiting. If you don't have one elite trait, you kind of need to be really, really good in all of the traits. Omeire has not tested well this month and he doesn't do anything truly elite if he's also going to be slow. We'll see, I guess.

Do you think the staff would project Mims to closely too Cooper?

It was in claymation.  My kids laughed when they saw Arcee ride the sheep.  The whooping was quite humorous too.

Clemson leads for that Ukilele kid, the #1 overall prospect. Would be crazy if they got him and Evans.

Garth's composite went up from his Rivals ranking and team composite is now 94.31

FWIW, Zach Evans is the best HS running back I have watched play against Lake Travis. Better than Gray or Brown by a mile. LT tried to play NS straight up and Evans ran over, around and through a very disciplined defense. He isnt the biggest or fastest or the most physical, but is excellent at every single thing asked of a running back. He has great instincts, runs hard, and is a terrific football player.

I’m in the camp that Evans is a level above even Milton or McClellan. I bet Herman was glad that Milton’s dad was unable to come along on next visit. Gives them reason to continue to play it slow while they go through the process with Evans.

Sam Spieglman, Louisiana and Texas writer for Rivals, said he put in several futurecast picks for Texas 2020 and 2021 targets after this weekends camps. Anybody have the list?

He has about a 90% accuracy rate on his picks.  Also has in picks for Umanmielen and Lindberg to Texas.  Has a 2021 pick in for Donovan Jackson to Texas.

Add Johnny Wilson, Ringo, Lindberg and Evans to our class and we’d be ranked 3rd in the nation behind LSU and Alabama with two less recruits and a composite average around 96.3. 

Thats a lot of assumptions and big time recruitments but none of those individually are huge reaches.

Yup. We should be dominating the Southwest. We're the closest "big football" school that's playing well. USC might count but they're horrible now and their game environment isn't comparable. We're also the closest cultural fit for kids from the Southwest. I think we're just starting to tap into the whole region effectively.

If we have the season we're capable of this could be an all time type of class.

It's going to be us and Oregon coming in strong - UO has Cristobal and a sneaky excellent gameday vibe on top of whatever booster bucks they're throwing around.

True, Oregon has been cleaning up in the absence of USC, UCLA, and Cal.

If somehow Latham doesn't go to OSU and decides to come to Texas, I think they'd take all 3 of Washington, Latham and Thompson. I do think that would make taking Alford problematic in a general numbers sense, given that they're going to take at least 2 CBs and probably 3.

Jerry Scarborough confidently and distinctly called "Heisman" after Rickey's first practice.  

seems like it's Notre Dame and Ohio State leading the pack for Ransom right now (siap)

Tom Loy: Notre Dame Recruiting Scoop

 

— In talking with sources connected with Notre Dame, Ohio State and the prospect himself, the feeling is that these two programs made an incredible impression on four-star safety Lathan Ransom. He visited Notre Dame on Saturday and then Ohio State on Sunday, two trips he was looking forward to for a long time. My gut feeling is that the Fighting Irish have a slight lead at this point, but he’s not ready to make a decision any time soon. Look for him to take a few more unofficial visits and then narrow things down to a final five. He’ll take official visits after that. Notre Dame and Ohio State should get a second visit. Both schools seem to think his final decision will come down to these two schools. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but it’s hard not to like safeties coach Terry Joseph in this one after what he’s done so far. That said, Ohio State’s Jeff Hafley and Tony Alford will do everything they can to get him on board with the Buckeyes. If looking for a potential dark horse here, one that could create a problem for the other two schools, keep an eye on Texas.

Thought I saw somewhere in May.  Taking an OV to OU for the spring game.

Really? That's awesome. 

I think Ohio State leads alone at the top. Tom Loy is a pretty unabashed ND homer; he's essentially the Irish Perroni.

Not really bothered about someone else leading for a kid that hasn't visited Austin yet.
