  • Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

    How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

    He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

I wonder what the over/under is on the number of Texags posts before someone says Jimbo must have backed off on Kibble. 

So I'm not worried about the numbers, but it definitely feels like we're in on a lot of dudes on OL. Curious what the priority list is.

Lord, I want Simmons to sign with Texas.  But ive been hurt too many times to believe. 


Yep. Better to set your expectations low and be surprised than to have hope and be disappointed. Take it from me, an expert re: low expectations.

for the boomers, the emoji's are "home soon." seemingly to indicate that he will be comitting shortly.

We know Cruz is a priority, but it seems like it’s first come first serve with some of these other interior guys.

Kibbie called to get in this weekend. He has FOMO.  Its not hard to see why he wasn't going to wait. Get your spot big guy.

Is Zina a take? Prior to OV szn he was being downplayed as someone who hasn't grown into his frame, but it seems like he's gotten some more steam lately?

Star-studded recruiting weekend at Texas has recruits buzzing about the experience

Steve Wiltfong
 

It was an exciting weekend on the recruiting trail for Steve Sarkisian and his staff, as they landed a commitment from coveted running back Jerrick Gibson out of IMG Academy, and are trending for several more prospects who made their way to Austin.

The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Gibson is commit No. 6 for the Longhorns in the 2024 cycle as things start to pickup around a program that has finished in the top five of the 247Sports Recruiting Rankings the last two cycles. Gibson chose to play for Texas over his other finalists in Georgia, Miami and Tennessee, announcing his plans on Saturday afternoon.

“It was excellent,” Gibson’s father Victor Jenkins said of the entire experience on Sunday.

The returns coming out of the weekend from others were just as strong.

“The visit was outstanding, every minute of it,” Lucas (Texas) Lovejoy receiver Parker Livingstone said. He will announce a pledge on July 1 and Texas is trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. “I got to spend time with Arch (Manning), Colton (Vasek) and Michael (Taaffe). It was just a great time. What continues to stand out to me is the coaching staff and the culture that Texas has built and they’re headed in the right direction to be one of the dominant teams in the SEC!”

Several five-stars made the trip. Those that spent time around Duncanville (Texas) High edge rusher Colin Simmons like the way this recruitment is trending for the Longhorns as they battle Alabama, Miami, Florida, LSU, Texas A&M and Oregon among others. He is expected back in Baton Rouge in July. The 247Sports Crystal Ball favors Texas for Waco (Texas) Connally Kobe Black who is also looking at Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma and Ohio State. Timpson (Texas) High standout and 247Sports’s No. 1 ranked athlete Terry Bussey was buzzing about his experience.

“My weekend in Austin was amazing,” Bussey said. “Had a great time and experience. “The relationships that are being built is what stands out to me.”

Several more Top247 recruits soaked in the atmosphere.

”Really liked the coaches and players,” Marietta (Ga.) Walton offensive tackle Daniel Calhoun said. He’s aiming for a July decision with Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Tennessee the competition. “Really like the development from Coach Flood, he’s developed some really good offensive linemen. The players and coaches there are really cool. I get along with the coaches and players.”

“I had a great time for sure,” Allen (Texas) High Top247 edge Zina Umeozulu said. He will take more officials during the season. “Something I really like about Texas has got to be the culture that Sark is building and has. I can for sure see myself a part of this team. I like the staff and players and I feel like the coaches can really pour into me and develop me.”

IMG Academy teammates in Top247 defensive back Jordon Johnson-Rubell and defensive lineman Jayden Jackson are two more Texas is well positioned for. They’re trending on the Crystal Ball for Johnson-Rubell and could be soon for Jackson as well.

Word is it will come down to Auburn and Texas for IMG Academy defensive lineman TJ Lindsey.

Stay tuned to 247Sports and Horns247 as more reaction comes in.

That's good news on "may be trending soon" for Jackson on the crystal ball front. 

So it's us and Auburn for Lindsey?  Thought he was high on aggy and don't think I've heard Auburn being involved.

I wonder if aggy paid something for him to cancel his Texas visit? 
 

If they’re spending a big piece of their budget on Smith, their LB depth is worse than I thought.

Good.  We can flip a LB commit from aggy

I'd rather he verbal there that USC.

Heard it was us (the coaches) that canceled the mid-week visit. 
 

 

Honestly I assumed Kibble was an unathletic cube when I had first heard of him and he seemed to be leaning aggy. Actually looks like a real nice addition to the potential IOL class. In Flood we trust.
