I believe the Rivals 300 is the On3/Rivals rankings since both recently merged.  So basically we now have 2 sites plus an intern locked in a janitor’s closet in Bristol that rank recruits.

I think something in my dick just broke. Not for Atkinson, although he’s a fucking awesome get. But can you imagine the GA tears were about to be drenched in? Get out your bingo cards, fuckers.

This board is about to 180 from the dooming about our class and getting nobody and claiming we are being out recruited by Tech and Baylor

You’d be a real dick to do that. Risk is a long ass game. They’ll never want to play with you again.

Fuck the Georgia posters and the crying.  They've come in the state for years and took 5*'s/high 4*'s.

He's coming to Texas, bet the farm. Composite 5 star #30 nationally. Loads of potential. Has great size, speed and vision. Reminiscent of Bijan in a lot of ways the measurables are nearly identical, Cooper is an above average pass catcher too.

Gvh7glWWMAAtMx9?format=jpg&name=small

I see WAY more Baxter than Bijan. Bijan had ridiculous quickness and beyond elite contact balance. 
 

This kid looks like a very good back, but none of the traits except speed that Bijan possessed, JMHO.

I for one can't understand why a kid whose very public aims are excellent defensive coaching and building and monetizing his personal brand would pick PK, Texas, and Austin. It's a crazy choice, I tell you.

Someone who knows something about good running backs must have had some up close interaction with Cooper and saw the necessary traits to make him a five star, because his RB stats don’t tell much of a story, and the Hudl doesn’t show much either. Wherever he ends up, I suspect he’ll have to learn the position, so patience will be needed. And agreed, nothing like Bijan.

Well, we need a running back.  So, if he’s got a high ceiling and a lot of talent that’s even better imo.

Just a reminder for all the dumbfucks who like to say Gerry and Bobby don’t know shit, and they only say obvious shit and don’t have any inside sources, this morning Gerry said 65/35 Texas and Bobby hinted strongly this would happen.

Kosi & Tyler are two mean mfs to add to the LB room. I feel like we need another one. Nansen should go out to the West Coast and find a long framed developmental type in Southern California. Those guys fly under the radar every class.

I don’t know shit about fuck either, but the guy is big, fast, strong, breaks tackles, and catches the ball smoothly out of the backfield.

 

Just lacks the explosive ridiculous quickness of Bijan. I think he looks a LOT like what I remember of Baxter at the HS level, but it’s been a few years since I watched those highlights.

1) No one should be getting compared to Bijan Robinson. He was a once every 5 years national RB recruit. That cannot be the bar. 

2) Credit to Bobby connecting with the staff and conveying to the audience that they were going to do exactly what many posters on the boards were demanding with laughable entitlement - focusing resources for need and impact. 

3) Atkinson is the best defensive player in this class. I said as much on this thread months ago. I didn’t think they’d land him. If they do, he’s an immediate impact player as a true freshman. Holy shit.

Atkinson trained with Anthony Hill and Derrick Johnson the last two summers, in Austin.  

(Excerpt from a note from Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247), below.)

Atkinson has spent a lot of time in Austin over the last two summers while training, though it's worth bringing up that wasn't known by anyone until mid June. Atkinson worked out with or trained under several folks affiliated with Texas, but none more notable than Derrick Johnson and Anthony Hill Jr.

"It's been great," Atkinson said of working with Johnson. "DJ, he's very intentional on his training, teaching the small details on things and it's just great to talk to him and train with him."

Hill is actually who connected the two. 

"Ant Hill, Ant Hill hooked me up with him," Atkinson said. "That's my boy, we talk, we talk. Just the relationship I have with him and him just telling me about Texas, it's good."

To add to this. Even though agents aren’t going to steer clients one way or the other, it can’t hurt that David Mulugheta is his agent.

He isn’t comparable to Bijan. Bijan moves like a he is controlled by a joystick. We may not see another RB like that at Texas for a very long time. I think he has more speed than Bijan coming out of High School (10.7 100 time). Shows solid feet. Much more of a downhill runner. He is definitely a tougher runner coming out of High School. Athletically it’s all there, but hard to see if he has good vision based on the highlights. That’s really the only question I see.
