We like the LBs from California more and are prioritizing them more than Pettijohn.

Perhaps you're in the know but that's not what i've taken away from the 995/surly "analysts". Sounds like we love him and have done everything to get him, aggie and bucks are selling something his camp likes. At same time yes, we would love to take the cali LB but he's been a silent to ND but Johny is swinging away.

    I’m not interested in getting political, but your description of circumstances can get immediately fucked. Negged for attempting to absurdly minimize the assassination attempt on a presidential candid

I think CTJ referenced that if the coaches wanted Pettijohn, they could call him today and get him committed.

Well, if I said that, it had to have been a while back because I do not believe that is where things sit right now.

I had this conversation with a buddy who is really, really handwringing right now about Moore to Oregon. If that dude wants to go play in Oregon for QB money, Texas can and likely will choose to match. Of Texas doesn’t do what is required to land Moore, you can knock me over with a feather. Sarkisian wants him worse than anyone else in the recruitment. Compare that to other situations and it tells a story, certainly. 


That’s depressing but also encouraging in one regard because it’s nothing structural financially. It’s just our approach to recruiting and prioritization.

Well, this would be silly. Especially if it’s about Faraimo.

I think our LB room is healthy,  but it’s far from impenetrable.  But I guess depth chart could be about more than just his position.

Either way, sounds like somebody else’s negative recruiting got to him.

Faraimo is no fucking joke.  USC made their hay in the 2000s at linebacker with guys like that.

Linebackers that size haven't been relevant since Furbies

Faraimo is a beast.  I'd take Faraimo given the choice after watching both their tapes online.  With that said, not sure we can pry him away from ND.

I tend to agree. I was skeptical when i started hearing the whispers on Faraimo as a legit target, but the kid looks like he has the goods to be a great player. If we can make a real run at him, I would be totally happy with a class of him and Barnes.

Yeah, I don’t think our depth chart should be scaring anyone off.  There’s a high likelihood of attrition after the fall depending on whether Gullete or Lefau wins starter snaps and which would put a capable freshman in the two-deep.

Pettijohn- 6' 1.5" and 215

So pretty much every 2023 NFL all-pro linebacker isn't relevant?  This is a stupid fucking take on the highest level.

I was responding to the allusion that the size of 2000's era USC linebackers was a positive, but I looked it up and these are surprisingly more in line with the modern linebacker than I had thought. The skills that made them high draft picks were a little different, but the size is about the same. 

Draft measurables

  • Lofa Tatupu: 5'11, 238 - 4.8 40yd
  • Keith Rivers: 6'2, 241 - 4.54 40yd
  • Brian Cushing: 6'2, 243 - 4.64 40yd
  • Clay Matthews: 6'2 240 - 4.67 40yd
  • Rey Maualuga: 6'1, 249 - 4.58 40yd

Faraimo is currently listed at 6'3, 225 on on3 and 230 on 247. Biggins scouting report had him at 215 in January. I'm no expert on the growing juvenile body, but he looks like a future DE to me.

Really hard to make that guess without knowing his age or family tree.

I wasn’t doubting his ability, just that he seems like a long shot at the moment, long thought to be a silent commit to ND.

NFL size is pretty stagnant at most positions over the last 20 years outside of maybe CB height average and OL weight average. I’d probably throw in WR height too

#6378

Hell yeah.  I didn't realize Orogbo was ranked that high. Our Edge/DE position has gone from biggest weakness on the team to arguably the best in the country.

Also, HUDLs below from Faraimo and Pettijohn.  Quick thoughts... Pettijohn looks like he will need to add some weight but looks good in coverage and is athletic as hell.  Not much film of him shedding blocks.  Faraimo's highhlights are from his first 5 games last year.  Dude looks like a stud.  Not much film in coverage either but he looks like he could bust some heads right now at the college level.  Physical, fast, and great instincts.  Honestly, I would be happy with either of them.  Pettijohn trending away and Faraimo has been rumored to be a ND silent so decent chance neither ends up a longhorn.

I don't get it. We're losing two of our top three LBs, and signed one guy last cycle. Hill would likely be in his last year here when Pettijohn is a freshman.

Where did any of what I said say Texas isn't paying out NIL, and at levels that are rivaled by very few in the NCAA? 

You guys are saying because we don't money whip these players who are just doing straight auctions or maybe they just didn't fit. That Texas NIL isn't the gold standard and that's just horseshit and wrong. 

 

What I was saying is that I understand that we are looking for guys who aren’t in it just for the money. However, the system actually makes recruits become - just in it for the money. If Oregon wants to offer a prospect $1M, he is going to go to Oregon. So say you have a guy who wants to be developed the best and Oregon offers $1M but does a shitty job developing. Guess what - the guy got money whipped. The lack of a system is set up for this. So if Auburn or Oregon or A&M or OU wants to overpay the most scrupulous guy in the world, they are going to get him. This may not be true for everyone right now - take Manning for example - however, as time goes on it will become more of a job and less of a career path.

Lil’ Nigel’s team played them last season.  Orogbo was the best defensive player we saw.  His name seems like it was called every freaking play.

Well, I guess it's safe to say that the Texas Tech recruiting "death star" isn't fully operational yet...

*ducks*

Seriously though, Orogbo seems like a really good pickup.

Orogbo is a beast - 3rd highest rated commit in the class.
