    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.

He has gone from looking like an explosive link of sausage in high school, to an explosive dad playing in the alumni game. Next year he will look like JJ Watt on a bender.

Which aggy recruit we flipping?  TyAnthony Smith?  Myles Davis?  Weston Davis?

Gerry mentioned Smith and Davis.

Ryan Williams as a reclassified 2024 is a better prospect than current Micah Hudson, imo. Getting him to flip and reclassify would be enormous,

I dont think we can get Williams, but holy shit if this were to actually happen.

Texas can make a legitimate argument to these top recruits that it has the best DC and OC (Sark) in the country. I’m trying to think what other program has that much quality at the two positions.

Which Davis? Or Both?

  • Popular Post

Some folks who get paid well to cover recruiting think that Ryan Williams is one of the best WR prospects … ever. He’s apparently a fucking jedi playing wideout and simply does things that no one else at the HS level does. We don’t want him at Bama. Getting him would be a holy shit moment.

Weston. 

The additions would be Wingo, W. Davis, S. Williams, Smith, Black, and Ward.

While swinging for the fences on Williams if he does reclassify to 2024. Which would make sense considering the lack of pursuit of Bussey and Hudson.

Why not?  What can Bama sell to WR recruits right now?  The dudes that out all their WRs in the NFL are at Ole Miss and Texas now.  Bama has no QB.  What about last night makes them think they will get developed.  His high school QB is committed to Texas.  Decent chance Texas has 2 dudes drafted in the first 3 rounds and JWhit going late.  Plus, Texas can match and outbid Bama with NiL.  Sark has shown he can recruit elite players nationally.  Plus, he’s the only coach currently that can say, “I got a WR to win the the Heisman”

I feel like one should always pursue Bussey.

I like Bussey too and was surprised Gerry didn't mention him.

Anyone seen a list of recruits hosted by Alabama this weekend?

A potential visitor list of Ryan Williams, Ryan Wingo, Terry Bussey, and Okoye this weekend is pretty good. Wonder what other names pop up?

Gerry said it was a lot of 2025 and 26's from GA high schools and that it was probably all of their first opportunities to watch Texas in person.

If we get Ryan Williams and Ryan Wingo, let's call them the Ryans Brothers ala the Dolphins' Marks Brothers from the 1980s. 

I'd assume still blOU bound until we hear otherwise.

Who says we still can't? There's plenty of season left for us to choke slam blou for the second year in a row, and for them to finish 6-7 as well, on top of us making the CFP and our defense curb stomping everyone in our way

Based on his mom having the range of a 3-toed sloth, I am pretty sure he isn’t leaving the state. I’ll be happy, if I am wrong

Honestly, with Simmons and Zina, if we dont take a third I wouldnt be too upset about it. Okoye is going to have even a bigger jump in competition than guys like Jaray Bledsoe had.

There's also this guy who likely plays better competition than Okoye: https://www.on3.com/db/solomon-williams-153743/

According to On3 and 247 he was at the game on a Bama' visit, but was tweeting Texas stuff after the game.

Solomon is a good development prospect with great upside.

I hope two recruits who received calls from our coaches last night are TJ Lindsay and DeAndre Carter.  Would love to flip them from Auburn.

The recruiting pitch is easy.  Do you want to beat Bama or lose to them?  Your choice.
