From Mansell on 247. Looks like Duce won't be making it to Georgia this weekend. Seems like good news especially with Monken potentially leaving.

So we traded TCU Roberson for Jamel Johnson. Johnson tending down in rankings while Roberson had been trending up. 

To the extent that you can trust Roberson's Senior HUDL (admittedly, you frequently can't), I'll make that trade all day. He looks fast, like he covers well, is a beast on special teams, plays really hard, and seems to have solid hands. This kid looks like a take all day.

yeah it doesn’t hurt but it also doesn’t change anything.

Maybe the best part of Roberson’s video is how much different he is compared to Derek Williams. He covers ground and is a play maker with the ball in the air. Williams is a physical safety that will smack you (athletic and a playmaker also). One is a pure FS and one is a pure SS 

Did that unknown kid we found come in this weekend from Mississippi?

You mean that kid who immediately got an offer from Miss St., canceled his visit to us, and got fong’d to Miss St.? Like days ago or even the week before last?

 

Have you considered reading the threads?

I knew he got that offer but didn't see he accepted it...

Grimas may not keep up with the board very well, but there are two reasons why I don’t mind when he posts.

Yeah, but you’re probably straight. Those things aren’t helping Sydney with his anger issues.

I always wondered why this had such a calming effect on him.

Jackson Arnold at number 2 makes sense if you assume every high school QB that kind of has Baker Mayfield’s physical profile will be the number 1 pick in the NFL Draft someday.  Of course, that would require there being 200 number 1 picks in the NFL draft every year, but that’s probably nitpicking.

Four last names in that post

Jackson Arnold makes sense if Riley is still at BlowU.  

Connor Stroh 90

Billy Walton 80

S'Maje Burrell 59

1 lineman in the top 10. The rest are skill players. And a lot of the highly ranked guys like David Hicks at 1, Rueben Owens at 6, and Braylan Shelby at 11 have a high likelihood of flaming out.

 

I didn't know that Calvin Simpson-Hunt was so highly regarded. Toviano, Rogers, and Thomas seemed to get more press.

Lincoln Riley also has two last names. Or two first names.

Jackson Arnold at #2 is fucking insane.

I agree. The history of highly-ranked Guyer qbs in college is not great. JW Walsh (#7 ranked qb) was a very good hs qb, wound up being relegated to a red zone-only qb/sideline hype guy @ OSU. We all know about Jerrod Heard (#2). Shawn Robinson (#6) made a name for himself in his two years @ Guyer playing alongside freshman Noah Cain his junior year, busted @ TCU & became a pretty decent db @ KSU. Eli Stowers (#20) was Jimbo’s handpicked qb for 2021. This is him now:

All four of those previous multi-year Guyer starting qbs looked to be big-time P5 qbs at one point. Not one of them justified their lofty rankings (all top 20 qbs; top 200 overall) at the next level (though Heard did have that one superlative performance vs Cal). Arnold may be considerably better than all of those guys, but it isn’t a stretch to say that kids in the Guyer system tend to get a gratuitous bump from the recruiting services.

Working theory is there is an inherent amount of stupid for anyone emerging from Denton ISD.  That matters more at QB.  The non-qb guys can be talented enough to overcome it.

Just saw the note on Roberson from Wells. I wonder if he will sign Wednesday, and he’s just saving the announcement for Friday. His birthday? Mom’s birthday? Honoring a friend? Who knows. I do know Fridays are where news goes to die, so he needs a new PR advisor.

Hope it’s us, kid seems like a good complement to what we’ve already signed.

Edited to add Gerry Hamilton thinks Texas now leads over USC, TCU fading…

Not knowing the ins and outs of Texas HS Football, why would this be?

It's cause Red Oak scheduled their NSD2 ceremony for Friday.

Yeah, I now see Joe Cook added that note right about the time I posted. Not sure why the school is doing it Friday, I’m assuming the coaching staff will be busy eating PopTarts until then.

No, they're fading. USC is really coming on strong though.

Actually producing well educated students probably doesn’t make the top 5 of the school administration’s priority list.
