  • 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.

His twitter looks pretty pro texas right now

He gave this quote to Perroni.  Surprised he posted it.

Excited to watch this kid on Friday nights the next couple years.

I eagerly await Dubose's reaction to that first tour of Aggyland. You know that will help narrow the gap.

Maybe LSU just threw in the towel on 23 and decided to move on to the next cycle. 

 As bizarre as that sounds, it sure looks like that was Kelly's strategy all along.  

247 has him listed at 6’ 275 pounds. He certainly doesn’t look that heavy in the video.

Gerry also said that Texas leads right now.

I would say so.

I said it earlier this spring and I’ll say it again. Jacob Henry absolutely has to be a Longhorn. Starter as a sophomore on varsity at Lake Travis. Placed in powerlifting at state meet. State tournament qualifier in wrestling. That kind of athleticism and strength don’t come around very often. And you don’t get to where he’s at without having a nasty streak too. I want I want I want

Fuck me. Wow. That makes a lot more sense. Especially with the kid a few slots down at 6’1” 190 listed qb/dt. Guess I should have had more to drink tonight, I’m entirely too sober to be this stupid.

I get smarter when I drink, at least that's what I tell myself.

Maybe he can walk on-he’s very much on the small size for what they are looking for on the line.

He’s 6’1 275 and just finished his sophomore year. He’s only going to get bigger, but Casey Hampton was 6’1 and he seemed to do alright for himself. Kid has a world class pedigree and seems to have the work ethic to back it up. I’ll gladly take a flyer on him

Goal line/ short yardage FULLBACK.

With those thighs he’ll blow a hole through any line.

Normally I’d sideswipe a Lake Travis or Westlake honk for their honkisms, but I find this post compelling and agree that if he keeps developing, there are far worse routes to take to round out the back of a recruiting class. 

Agree but I am now angered that someone compared him to the greatest Longhorn defender I've ever watched. I'll take half a Casey Hampton every day. 

If you’ll notice it was in response to someone questioning whether he has the size to be effective, and the comparison was about height only. He’s got 40 pounds and a set of nuts the size of bowling balls to add to his frame before he can be compared to Casey Hampton talent wise. 

Probably less about being a Lake Travis homer, and more about being a legacy whose dad is a legendary weightlifter, professional wrestler, and one of the most accomplished Texas athletes and ambassadors of all time.

Don't try to insert logic into my Casey Hampton fanboy rants.

And now I know. Hard to ignore all those big bodies coming to our O-line. It probably makes a future RB very happy. Would this be our first IMG kid?

Nah, we got that adeloyle, or whatever, kid a few years back.

 

And I guess agiye hall counts now too

Well hell. I got all excited. Guy at work said his grandson was a 5 star 24 LB. And he was interested in Texas. 

Glad i researched before i posted. Kid isnt even ranked. Lol. But good luck to the kid.

For the record I didn’t question his effectiveness, I question whether he’s too small to get recruited for nose by THIS defensive staff.  
 

I’m don’t really think they’d prioritize Casey, either.  Shaun Rodgers seems more to fit their preferred type.

Happened to stop on LHN the other day and caught a portion of a replay of an aggie game at DKR wherein they identified Hampton only as the guy that "comes in every now and then to give Chris Aiken a breather." Casey was just huffing and puffing after just a couple of plays, but I just wondered wtf ever happened to Chris Aiken?

He was runner-up on American Idol

I was looking at On3 and 247's state rankings for the class, and noticed that 247 says Hampton is a DB, while On3 has him as a WR. Which position are we recruiting him for?
