Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

Featured Replies

We have a lot of guys who project inside in this class and not a lot of dudes who can play on the edge.

Burke is absolutely a take and I’m glad we didn’t let Michigan steal him out of our backyard.

    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

Y’all just had to complain about not getting a commit today.

Who the hell is Burke

A contingency plan

Well... better than Kobie McKinzie I hope?

Yes. Much cleaner projection. McKinzie was a tweener depending on how much he ate for lunch.

Michigan mod.

Has this guy's name ever been brought up in any capacity at any point during this cycle? Way out of left field.

On3 has Burke as a 4 star. ESPN has him a borderline 2 star so that’s dragging down his composite ranking.

Texas is too good for a recruit committed to a playoff team that happens to be recruited by one of the best defensive line coaches in the country. 

This board is sad sometimes.

Steve has been on the 247 staff for like 10 years. He is also a Michigan insider so not really likely that he'd be brought up this cycle.

@TreatyOak you know Westlake, is Burke a legitimate take?

I’ve watched most Westlake games this year. Hard to get a good read due to how weak the district is, but he’s been a badass all year and played a good game against Katy. Redshirt him and let him fill out and see what happens. The kid is a damn good high school football player

I'm having a hard time recalling Steve Lorenz being brought up.

He is not what I expected when I thought Michigan Football Mod.

Oh and being the best player on this Westlake defense has to count for something. Holy fuck this Westlake defense is unreal 

Michigan tried to sell him on being the next Hutchison.  He’s light in the ass but has length you can’t teach.  He’s a developmental project that you try to put 30 lbs of muscle on and hope you end up with a real live edge setter.  

The reactions from when Burke committed to Michigan was mostly positive: https://redd.it/r6p5st

Huge fan of this pick-up. Late riser who was committed to Maryland for lacrosse, but he's really blown up for football this year. He's 6'7" 225 and needs to put on weight, but his Hudl tape is still really impressive

Quote

Watched him play live, he's an issue every play. Westlake is holding teams to under 7 points a game, with one of the toughest schedules in the state of Texas. They run a 4-2-5 with only 1 guy going D-1, Burke. Burke is a problem.

Quote

Dude needs to hit the buffet and the weight room but he looks like a potential terror 2 or 3 years from now. Put on 25-30 pounds of good weight, work on technique, unleash him in 2023.

 

Don't know much about this kid but just wouldn't think we have room for another DL at this point. 

We flip this kid from Michigan, not Central Michigan.  I will hold my judgement for now.

Have we even offered the kid 

 

Per post on 247, Texas offered  Burke today...

Still wonder if this is real, or just a distraction to hide identity of who Texas is really gonna #flipmas

Looks about as wiry as Omenihu. Good get if he turns out like that.

Roach CB Burke to Texas, confidence 7

After watching our DL this year (especially the edge guys), we can’t take enough of them this cycle.

A lot of people talked themselves into Kobie a couple of days ago and Burke looks a lot better on tape than him.

Of all the twists and turns in this thread, I find none more surprising than more of you not having Spider on ignore. For the sake of those of us who do, pretty please extend the courtesy of not quoting his drivel. I can honestly feel my brain cells saying "fuck it, I'm out of here," every time somebody quotes him. 

Most helpful post on this thread today. Because I'd forgotten all about the "ignore" feature. Hadn't used in a couple years, but it's come in really handy again tonight. Thanks, Mitch.

Thanks for the past four years, Ethan, and good luck in the draft.

The only thing I can think of is using Derrick Brown off ball and this fills his edge spot.

I think that’s the thought. Brown could very likely end up off the ball and Finkley is a tweener who could easily end up inside depending on how he fills out.

I like. Looks quick at least.

 

 

 

Lol that is not Burke…

NVM ... someone already pointed it out.

You're trying to think too much about positioning. This staff thinks the entire DL is trash. They're trying to add numbers across the board because the roster is complete ass.

He's been brought up a few times on the podcasts.

 

At least he looks like a nice, likable guy ...

Roach, on Burke.

Kobie has a 94 next to his name and Burke has an 87 next to his. That's informs many of the reactions

He’s obviously a blend of Joey bosa and tj watt, but how much of each of them?

Edited by Pato del Muerto

If we’re taking Burke, then our supposed number crunch ain’t that much of a crunch.

Apparently Neto deleted his commitment tweet? 

I’ve watched Burke play several games. He’s absolutely a take. He’s been living in the backfield the entire 6A playoffs wrecking shop. Quit being a bunch of star fuckers.
