    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.

Likely the guy Gerry was alluding to recently, considering his stroll through Florida.

 

Not a lot of depth, but 600-pound squat.

 

Gerry dropping not so subtle hints that it sounds like D'antre Robinson and Texas staff are not on good terms right now.

Intel on an interesting new 2024 offer out tonight

Hank South (Horns 247)

Texas has quietly been keeping an eye on Auburn DL pledge Dimitry Nicolas. Bo Davis is high on his versatility along the defensive line. The offer came through tonight. As for a potential official visit, nothing is set but it's a possibility this fall. It sounds like this is an offer that got his attention.

Nicolas' coach is Texas A&M DL Shemar Stewart's dad. Right now he's firm with Auburn. But again, a lot of schools are starting to take notice of Nicolas five games into his senior season.

I'll have more on him in the AM.

That's not what he is saying. He's saying that if it was up to him, he would question Robinson's ability to be a talent maximizer and stick with the development when he can't be honest about taking visits to other programs. 

His opinion may be the same as the Texas staff has currently, but he never said that implicitly or explicitly.

They should beat Vandy, South Carolina, and Arkansas, but yeah that final stretch ain’t pretty.

Better we find out about the kid not wanting to leave home now, than him portaling back home after a year on the bench. His potential is only good if his mind is right.

Gerry's tone has changed a lot in the past 24 hours on Robinson, it is easy to read between the lines after he dug deeper, talk to staff, whatever. The fact a new DL offer went out is also pretty telling.

Yes, but he also said multiple times this is solely his opinion. "These kids talk to the coaches multiple times a week, so [Robinson] had multiple chances to tell the coaching staff about the visit and didn't." In the age of the portal this is an important data point.

He also made a point to say that Sweat (660) and Murphy (380) are alpha DL because they stuck it out despite their lower recruit rankings. His whole point was you want alpha DL, and what Robinson did is a negative data point.

He also said the coaching staff likely talks to him and just remind him to let them know moving forward if he's planning on taking other visits.

I know we’ll keep trying on Mack but Florida looking competent against Tennessee + 6-6 + Raymond might be enough for Florida to hold on.

DIMITRI NICOLAS apparently is not the first generation Slav son of Eastern European immigrants that I thought he might be.

My updated opinion could be wrong, but I don't think so.

The wait for the next Eastern Bloc descent DL prospect continues.

Williams, Goosby, Agbo, and now Baker with an outside shot at Weston Davis and DeAndre Carter. Not to mention Campbell, Umeozulu, Cruz, Kibble, Chatman, Kirkland, Stroh, Cojoe, Hutson, and Robinson - and they're all being coached and developed by Flood. Talk about a First World Problem. This OL is going to be absolutely filthy for years. We could have Vondrell McGree, Antwon Cobb, Tristian Houston, Kyle Porter, Danny Young, or Toneil Carter runnning behind them and probably still average more than 5 ypc. Hell, post-injury Kevin Shorter could probably get 4 or even 4.5. Instead, we've got or are getting Brooks, Baxter, Gibson, Clark, and even guys like Blue and Red (who I would desparately like to see get more carries, btw)

Someone hit the nail on the head: this is how Bama and Georgia were built. 

Kyle Porter ain’t running for 5+ YPC behind any line. The young man is unfortunately blind.

Margus Hunt. 2nd round pick, had a 9 year NFL career.

Engages quickly and pancakes with authority. Those are good things to be able to say about an OL.

Wingo committed last weekend. Black committed in July or August, can't remember. Texas will keep recruiting both like nothing can be taken for granted, but there is a lot of focus on getting guys committed to other schools and just letting some things play out. 

We've talked about Texas circling back on various DBs as the season moves forward. At this point, I think Myles Davis and Wardell Mack are going to get more attention than Gipson for various reasons. If ATM or Florida collapses in ways that either program could, that would be the guy I'd pick as the favorite.

I think for a safety prospect I like Davis a bit more than Gipson.
