Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

Suchomel in response to someone making the incredibly lame "mod rankings" joke: 

I hear ya. It's happened behind the scenes. Just need it to go public, which is always a bit dicey trying to predict the timing of teenagers.

    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

Maybe our new strategy is to just let Bo Davis clean up at DL and then convert a bunch of those guys to OL. It's genius.

maybe we tell Bo Davis to hurry the fuck up and finish the DL so we can get him on to working OL and then WR.

It's probably his stomach that he's actually hearing.

Gerry, in response to the Suchomel smoke

Barring a major change, Texas is done for the day. Check back in 3-4 days.

 

See this is where our staff IMO should press. If a dude is willing to commit silently or behind the scenes then press him to go public and get his true intentions.

Who wouldn't want to follow in the footsteps of Demond Demas and Dylan Wright?

as a reminder: Demas and Wright both combined for 0 catches in their freshman years.

more information regarding blue chip WR under Jimbo at A&M from this reddit post

dataset

average blue chip WR season: 8 catches for 116 yards and 1 TD (135 total snaps)

median blue chip WR season: 2 catches, 24 yards, 0 TDs (81 total snaps)

Quote

Even though it’s just a small sample size, it’s still clear 5*s produce at a significantly higher rate than 4*s as true freshmen, with the odds of hitting various tiers over doubling in every single category.

///

blue chip WRs under Jimbo:

  • 16: Keith Gavin
  • 17: DJ Matthews, Tamorrion Terry
  • 18: Tre'Shaun Harrison, Warren Thompson, Jordan Young
  • 19: Dylan Wright and Kam Brown
  • 20: Demond Demas, Moose Muhammad III

10 blue chip WR

7/10 had 0 catches - other 3 guys had 10, 6 and 2 catches.

10 guys combined for 18 catches, 157 yards, 1 TD - avg: 1.8 catches, 15.7 yards, 0.1 TD and averaged 38 snaps each - SUPER pushed up by 159 snaps from Tre'Shaun Harrison

median: 21 snaps, 0 catches, 0 yards, 0 TDs

only 3 of the 26 5* WRs in the dataset had no catches their freshman year - Bru McCoy (USC > Texas > USC), Mecole Hardman (special teams mostly) and Demas

///

same timeframe for Texas:

10 blue chip WR (Duvernay, Collin Johnson, Brennan Eagles, Joshua Moore, Alvonte Woodard, Jordan Whittington, Jake Smith, Marcus Washington, Troy Omeire, Kelvontay Dixon)

10 guys averaged 8.9 catches for 121 yards and 1.4 TDs. Texas had 3 guys with 20+ catches (Durvernay in 16, Johnson in 16, Jake Smith in 19) and averaged 139.3 snaps.

median: 75.5 snaps, 3 catches, 44 yards, 0.5 TDs

NOTE: the dataset included Damion Miller for Texas but since he didn't qualify I removed him from the set.

///

In general if you are a blue chip WR and go play under Jimbo Fisher, you are going to under perform compared to your contemporaries. You will play less snaps, catch fewer balls for fewer yards and fewer TDs.

anyone acting like they are going to go and play as a true freshman in a Jimbo Fisher offense is fooling themselves.

It's just because Jimbo's offense is complex with a lot of nuance, you dumb sip. Feeble-minded freshmen can't grasp the genius behind it.

I understand your point but I am not sure that it should be in every situation. Sometimes a kid will be a silent because that will keep coaches coming to his practices and maybe one of his teammates may get an offer. Also, there are fan bases that may make a young man uncomfortable because he didn't choose his state school.

If the commit has spent the last 3 weeks committing to every team he visits, the coaches should just know not to push the narrative on the sites that he also committed to us. Someone like Campbell isn’t like that and should be fine when he is ready. I’d definitely ask for it to be sooner than later.

Gotta give them a timeframe to come public. Can’t let it drag on and etc IMO. If they don’t want to just continue on the other guys. 
 

guys like Anderson, Campbell, and etc out front are the reasons why. Close the fucking deal.

Sounds like Thompson, Bledsoe, or Campbell -- I would think one of the first two based on timelines. 

I think Campbell would be higher than 2-3 on excitement. I’d say either Thompson or Bledsoe with the latter being most likely

Roach and Harris already have CB's for Thompson and Campbell....nothing yet for Bledsoe

so basically not a top guy but someone others in the region want.

Bledsoe makes sense, as would Neto but one would think they would be higher than a 2 or 3. Guilbeau makes sense too but again would think he would be higher than 2 or 3.

after looking at the offer list: https://247sports.com/college/texas/Season/2022-Football/Offers/ maybe it is Phazion Wilson lol (yikes)

Spoiler

that said, watch it end up being someone outside the composite State top 100.

Bledsoe just started following the guy who does commitment edits for Rivals on instagram.

nothing tipped from follows: https://en.whotwi.com/JarayBledsoe/friends

but look at his recent followers, probably gives it away?

if his photo changes from his A&M visit...then that has to be who it is

Roach? Probably talking about Aaron Bryant

Bledsoe would make sense, especially if it’s true that they prefer him to Finkley. With Bryant, Ross, and Swanson they can press to get him to secure a spot

So if Bledsoe commits no finkley?

I don't think so.  Thought Finkley was viewed more as an EDGE guy.

They play different spots. I bet they still want Finkley regardless. He profiles to an edge spot and Bledsoe is a DT all the way.

This is what I thought.  DT is being revamped with the az kid ross and Bryant. Wanna see some edge rushers to pair with Brown.

Anthony Jones.  Wonder if Swanson rethinks things if he sees 3 other DT's committed?

Wait I haz the confuse. Thought Jones was more of a ossai type edge player?

Harris on 247 just said he got the OK (assuming from the family?) to put in a crystal ball pick so we should know soon.

FWIW, this is the absolute worst way to go about this.

you said you wanted to see Edge rushers paired with Brown and he pointed out that Jones was already in the fold.

Any word on Bledsoe's grades?  If they are good, he is a huge take.

"Good" is not what he's shooting for. "Semi-adequate" is the goal.

How bad are we actually talking? Like won’t qualify bad?

Well if we take his commitment, we think there's a shot. aggy's worked miracles in qualification recently.

Suchomel is not happy :

Is it REALLY that important to pad those stats or let the cat out of the bag? A hint is bad enough, but a crystal ball pick is ridiculous if that gets put in.

I was given the go-ahead to leak the name as soon as I was told at about 1:30 but no way in hell I was going to do that. The fact is, other reporters wouldn't have even been sniffing around on the is one if they didn't see it here first and now they may completely give the story away (as if the hints weren't bad enough).

Borderline shameful, IMO.
