Trying to remember.  Did he trash talk the team or the state?

    Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

    I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

Texas finally recruiting well in the trenches

Steve Wiltfong
 

I recently wrote on the Horns247 message board that if five-stars in Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell ultimately end up in Texas’s recruiting class, nothing else matters regarding how they close the 2022 class.

At that point, I already liked the way the Longhorns recruited around the line of scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball and it was time to match that on the offensive front.

Texas has had terrific skill players, talented quarterbacks and good players in the secondary, but generally the toughness and play around the line of scrimmage has been lacking.

Well on Saturday Texas is halfway home to what I would call a monster finish with Banks jumping in the fold, choosing the Longhorns over the Aggies.

I added a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast in favor of Texas for Campbell too. Those would be potential program-changing wins.

Now Steve Sarkisian and his staff have to develop this group because on paper, the likes of Banks and Cole Hutson on offense and Jaray Bledsoe, J’mond Tapp, Justice Finkley, Kristopher Ross, Aaron Bryan, Zac Swanson and Derrick Brown on defense are good enough to win at the level this program yearns for.

Campbell would get them another step closer. Kam Dewberry too.

With Banks as the jewel of the class, Texas now sits at No. 7 in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. I can’t remember a time where Texas has recruited this well up front, even the 2018 and 2019 classes that finished No. 3 each year in the standings lacked on the offensive and defensive lines.

 

 

SIAP, but I guess things got a bit chippy in the comments of the 247 article. Don't know if I've seen Wiltfong this salty before.

Guess he’s going to get really involved with Duke recruiting now.

This has been the point of many posters for quite some time. And even still, there are other posters here who argue that just get better skill players to make up for deficiencies of the OL or DL. That's kinda the point tho, don't have deficiencies on the lines, and let the skill players really shine.

Pretty crazy to think a child of Raiola would be in play for Texas.  Can someone remind me what he said about TX while in college?  I can't recall.

"I hate Texas," center Dominic Raiola said. "They're this high-and-mighty deal. I don't like that song either."

Texas players and coaches sing The Eyes of Texas after every game. Last season, Texas players hoisted Brown on their shoulders.

"I had my helmet on. My head down," Raiola said. "It was cloudy and kind of dark. It made me disgusted to hear that song. It made me sick to see them celebrating on our field."

Yeah, he was complimenting the recruiting on the lines, but I thought he was going out of his way to get digs in about our records over the past few years.  (If we're talking 8-4, other than their "dream" 9-1 2020 season, even under Fisher, A&M has gone 8-4, 8-5 and 8-4 ... )

Via a dude on 247

 

 

Didn't he commit to us once and then decommit?  Or am I confusing him with someone else?

yesterday, my daughter studied all day in the business school. she said that she saw the biz school dean and CDC giving a tour to 3 "huge guys". which lineman are looking at major in business? she didn't know who they were. shitty update but it's no worse than the 9.95 dudes.

Does your daughter not have a smartphone with a camera like every other college kid on the planet?  Where are the pics? Wtf?

His hatred of Texas was purely situational. And the situation was that we kept kicking his ass.

Maybe it was actually a compliment because he thinks 8-4 is a perfect season.

He is going to be surrounded by people with a serious interest in him having a camera-free good time.
You forget just how many aggy forego the splendors of BCS/greater Houston area and choose to live in Austin.

FWIW - Dominic Raiola just left his  assistant O-Line coach job with the Bears to go back to Nebraska and work for Scott Frost. 

So he’ll be out of a job at this same time next year?

I don’t hate on him. Huskers should do what they can to revive their program. Raiola was  as invested a Nebraska player as I can remember. I loved the edge he played with.

I wish our guys had that same hatred for other teams celebrating wins in Austin against us

Thanks.  Thought it would have been kind of funny had it been the state, considering he lives here now.

That’s his younger brother Donovan that’s going to coach at Nebraska.

Just for clarification.

Not sure where the 4 star rating comes from. He’s unrated on 247.

By tech adjusted metrics, a recruit is a 4 star if they even have a 247 profile.
