Uhhh I like you as a poster but this is just so laughably wrong. I’ve lived in Port Aransas and Honolulu. There’s just no way to compare the two, at all. 

Side note, I took this photo a couple of days ago on the windward side of Oahu as it was pretty clearly someone on a UH recruiting visit getting their hype photos taken.  I did not hear much in the way of Texas gulf coast comparison talk. 

Anyway, I hope Lee opts for Texas for any reason he likes.

Wrong about what? We (as in me) are comparing the Gulf Coast to Lake Michigan. I'm not wrong about that comparison at all. 

However, it's not going to be a factor, so there is that.

We are now going to settle for jags because We Are Texas. Sark let all the 1st rounders and success get to his head. Now he is just sitting back and relying on recruiting rankings because We Are Texas and its a priviledge for them to play here. You want to play for The Flagship of Texas, you come to me. Thats his mentality. This is where we are at now.

I’m sure there are a lot of games that get played in recruitments between coaches/programs.   I wonder if Texas will throw an offer to some of these guys even if they are a long shot for us.  If it costs Georgia more money to sign Johnson or Prothro to match our offers, then maybe it will be harder for them to match a much bigger offer we may make for Atkinson later.  I’m curious is this is an actual strategy.  Last year, they couldn’t match our offer to Justus Terry.  Wonder if we’ll steal another big name recruit.

 

Texas ended up winning almost every major recruiting battle they wanted last year outside of DK Moore.  Lots of those guys committed else where earlier in the cycle.  I’m guessing Texas will play the slow game and throw their biggest and best offers to the players the covet in the fall.

Swoosh. It went over these posters head.

Every year with Sark, there is a summer lull and everyone panicks.  Every year, he closes like a MF and all this whining looks absurd in retrospect.  So I'll give Sark the benefit of the doubt here, and console myself with our #1 ranked recruiting class from last year.

Longhorns have opportunity to rebound this week on the trail

Steve Sarkisian and staff suffered a couple of tough losses on the trail last week in 4-star++ OT Malakai Lee and 4-star++ defensive lineman James Johnson. Those are two prospects OTF expects Texas to recruit until signing day in December.

The Longhorns begin the week with a class ranked anywhere from 10 to 13, with the possibility to ascend into the top 5 with some big decisions on deck. 

OnTexasFootball takes a look at the week ahead for the staff. 

Kendall Guervil ...
The 4-star++ defensive lineman is set to announce July 2 (noon CST) with Texas having been the trending school over Georgia and Florida since the spring. 

Trenton Henderson ...
Texas is fighting favorite Florida ahead of the 5-star's July 2 announcement. LSU is the third school in contention. 

Kosi Okpala ...
The most chatter in the recruitment of the 4-star+ linebacker out of Mayde Creek in Houston has centered around the Longhorns. Penn State and Baylor are also on the list. Okpala is set to announce July 3 around 11am. 

John Turntine III ...
Texas continues to have the most chatter over Michigan headed into the July 4 announcement. Neither Stanford or Texas A&M has given up. 

When will Felix Ojo and Tyler Atkinson announce...
4-star++ OT Felix Ojo (Mansfield, Texas/Lake Ridge) has a birthday coming up July 4. That presents the possibility of an announcement this week. Texas continues to lead Ohio State. 

It's expected to be Texas or Georgia for 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). OTF hears a July 4 announcement is a possibility, but not a lock. 

Will 4-star+ Jamarion Carlton wait until July 10? OTF is monitoring the possibility of a date change.

Not expected to go Texas' way ...
Bryce Perry-Wright (Buford, Ga./High) - the commitment of Richard Wesley being the key here.

Kaydon Finley (Aledo, Texas/High) - ND barring a late shift

Damn, didn't know Daytona's came with a blue face? Custom? Ceramic dial? and nice band. Use to the old ones. white. black. some red. Still searching for that vintage. I'll take my old school Sub and go hide in the closet now.

That's regular black dial.  They do make 2 blue dials, ones a platinum and other is white gold.

Gotta say, this is one of the more annoying recruiting stretches I can remember. Not because the sky is falling or anything, but it sure feels like a lot of manufactured interest for no real reason. A ton of dudes that everyone on this board would have assumed are headed elsewhere until “trust us, Texas is RIGHT in this thing”… only for each of them to pick the obvious choice.

We’re still gonna end up with a class that gives satya nightmares, it’s just annoying that we were even paying attention to any of these players in the first place.

Someone got way the fuck out over their skis when reporting on the current state of our recruiting. Gerry, CJ and Bobby definitely deserve to catch some flak for this one because they hyped this summer recruiting season way too much.

Jesus. There hasn’t been this much pussy rubbing since the last time Satya watched Schindler’s List. 

It turns out that you can both be displeased with the last few weeks of recruiting losses and still have faith that the class will be great. The pearl clutching is almost as irritating.

Transfer portal has rendered recruiting battles irrelevant. Just reallocate those dollars to a dude in the portal who is ready to play day 1

Yeah, Xavier Griffin is originally from Alabama, and so is Crowell. that's two 5-stars from Bama that went to Bama. I'm glad we are swinging for the fences, because sometimes it works ( ie Justus Terry last year), but those aren't recruitments that should have ever been considered toss ups. 

OTF is better than most, but they're still prone to your typical 9.95 cliches. Phrases like "Texas is confident" don't mean anything, they say it about almost everyone.

You’re right. Anthony Hills and Collin Simmons come along in the portal all the fucking time. Does your body just automatically ejaculate every time you say something stupid? That would explain a lot.

that ain't blue; it's black... sadly, watch collectors are racist and they don't command the same prices as the white ones

It's June. Yesterday my 14yo son declared eggs are horrible. He ate two scrambled with a touch of curry today. Shocking the 9.95 sites are clueless on recruiting. Wesley came out of nowhere. More will happen.
