Per Gerry - RB Cedric Baxter has been in touch with the Texas staff multiple times since last night.  Appears to be a good sign.

Damn he told us the bad news....

Mutiple times,

Cam Williams being middle of the pack is pretty fucking outstanding.  Can't wait to see him in action.

8 ) Shelby's little sister is going into 8th grade and can already dunk. There is additional upside for landing him if the UT WBB program is a top 5 program soon.

Big time volleyball player as well

Jesus.
Ran out of eligibility more than 2k years ago leaving the sorry lot listed above. Their attempts at parting the sea for our running backs result in mixed success at best.

I hear help is on the way

You’re right. I also forgot that she’s going into 9th grade, not 8th.

I love how three of our established starters from last year are at the bottom of the OL board, while almost every incoming freshman is above them.

Brockermeyer in last on that board.

Shocking news. 

No need to kick a dude when he's down. The guy is 7 months removed from a torn ACL. I'm surprised he's even running at full speed at this point.

The Huddle: Scatter-shooting a handful of recruiting notes

Hudson Standish
 

— I had a really good talk with Texas priority EDGE Braylan Shelby last night and will post quotes from his recap of the official visit later this week once the recruiting momentum slightly slows down.

The key points of the talk were that Texas definitely matched USC’s official visit from the past weekend and might even hold a slight lead at the moment. However Shelby maintained that it was too early to even think about putting in a pick as he and his family are going to talk about the decision over the next few weeks.

Texas did a really good job pitching the McCombs school of Business in addition to the appeal of Austin as a city. Shelby mentioned that his parents loved the boat tour with the Texas staff and he really loved seeing the new Tesla GigaFactory.

From the jump I’ve said that Pete Kwiatkowski has done a tremendous job in this recruitment and this weekend was no different with a ton of scheme talk focusing on how Shelby would be an immediate impact player at Texas and is their No. 1 priority at EDGE in this recruiting class. In addition to Pete Kwiatkowski’s ace recruiting I was told that Steve Sarkisian had two separate meetings with Shelby and his family while on campus to stress his value to the Longhorns. Shelby told me that the conversations with Sarkisian were extremely impactful.

I asked Shelby one final perceived throwaway question about if the Arch Manning commitment would have any impact on his decision considering that most defensive players tend to answer no to that question. However Shelby told me that it actually showed him that Texas was putting the pieces together and offered some proof of concept to Steve Sarkisian’s program vision.

Shelby also said that Manning hit him up throughout the visit and the two were supposed to hop on the phone later that night to talk recruiting.

— A source I trust confirmed to me over the weekend that Austin Westlake 2023 EDGE Colton Vasek is down to an unofficial top two of Oregon and Texas following official visit season.

The source still felt like Oregon was the leader, but Texas undoubtedly made the biggest move during Vasek’s visits.

Even though Oregon leads at the moment and could grab a commitment over the summer, I can’t shake what a separate source told me pre Texas official visit about this recruitment reminding him of Kelvin Banks in the 2022 cycle. Even if Vasek commits to Oregon, I wouldn’t rule out a close to NSD flip back to the hometown Horns depending on both school’s seasons.

— One of the players I’ve seen the most questions about since the weekend is 2023 Lehi (UT) Skyridge EDGE Tausili Akana. I mentioned in the comments of Liona Lefau’s commitment that I was fading Akana’s chances of ending up in burnt orange and after circling back with a couple national sources still feel like that’s the case.

Texas does have an advantage with Akana’s sister on the volleyball team and the four-star could officially visit Texas during the fall in part to watch his sister’s volleyball games, however other than that dynamic I don’t see Texas stacking up with the other schools in the mix.

Mike and I were on the money with the Lefau commitment and were ready with three stories on the four-star when he popped while a decent amount of the industry considered it a surprise. I think our intel is up to date on Akana as well at the moment.

— I’m expecting one major firework to pop off today with the potential for a few more throughout the week. As the dead period begins it will be extremely interesting to see if Texas can keep this recruiting momentum rolling while the rest of the country waits for the contact period to resume at the end of July.

— Lastly, I mentioned Arch Manning contacting Braylan Shelby earlier in this huddle, but can’t stress enough how impactful and frequent Manning has been as a bell cow recruiter over the past six days or so. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for off the radar elite recruits that might take visits to Texas during the fall.

 

 

Vacek has short arms and isn’t nearly as athletic as other guys they’re on. Also, he’s a magnet for the Westlake honks on this board. I’m rooting for Oregon. 

If you combined the tiny hands of Hudson Card with the tiny arms of Vacek and the tiny brain of Reuben Owens’ father, you’d have Oompah Loompah, the football recruit.

There’s one thing I know for certain…

he’s never run full speed.

Is Hutson out this Summer?

Now and again I reflect on how ballsy it is to offer up ratings to 4 decimal places. 

Some econ (?) professor wrote a paper that concluded that the more decimal places you show, the more likely people will assume/believe that your calculations are precise.

Plus he has to live with the weight of having a few loser brothers.

I imagine he's been running full speed for a while - albeit in a straight line.

If someone asks me how far away something is I tell them 18 minutes or 21 minutes and it 20. They are impressed by the certainty. Never fails.

If I asked someone how far away something was, and their response was "18 minutes or 21 minutes and it 20. ..." I wouldn't be impressed.

Or Taylor Hamm, aggy recruiter savant.

If I'm reading this right, and I'd like to think I am, Devon Campbell is the same speed as Brockermeyer.

More I see this top speed, the less value I think it has. No way Ford is much faster than Overshown. Not talking about he ability to play the position, just a race between the 2.

This is 100.00000% correct. 

"No need to kick a man while he's down"

>7 posts kicking him. 

Oh well, hopefully he won't be starting next year.

Hey, they might not be fast, but they sure are light in the pants!

Sounds like you’d be up for a 40 yard dash comp against Luke if someone can get him to a Surly happy hour?

Damn it, I think we’ve just found Burnt Ends true purpose.
