July 30, 20187 yr Agreed on the blur part. I think he started at guard for a year or two? So given that he contributed I guess you can't call him a total bust.
July 30, 20187 yr Between he and Reese Moore, hopefully one of them proves able to get things done if Cosmi can't. Welcome to the family, Shepherd.

July 30, 20187 yr Regarding his writing, he attends what has to be one of the worst high schools in the state. I believe a couple years ago it was in the news because almost 10% of the student body was on some type of probation or parole. A place like that makes it somewhat hard to do English good, I imagine.Â

Perkins was a three year starter and 2nd team all big 12 as a senior. That's not a bust at all even if we would have liked for him to be even better.
July 30, 20187 yr Quote The 6-foot-6, 334-pound monster o-lineman committed to Texas tonight. Shepherd, from Houston North Forest is a high 4-star with 30+ offers including Alabama, Texas A&M, Georgia, LSU, and Florida State. Damn! Huge to get two tackles of such high quality in this class. Herman doin' work.  Quote UT scores big with Shepherd, delivers blow to A&M Eh, he's aiiight, but not SEC aiiight.

What year had the 2 highest ranked tackles combined? I’m thinking this year might be it. The year of Tray Allan and someone else doesn’t count because Allan was recruited as a guard I believe.

July 30, 20187 yr 6'6 334 JFC feeding him must be a full time task on his own, thats a big big dude
July 30, 20187 yr Kennedy Estelle + Camrhon Hughes = 1.9208 Shepherd + Johnson = 1.8942Wow I knew we busted on recruits that year but that was a massive bust. Massive.
July 30, 20187 yr Pretty sure Javonne is underrated right now too. With that offer list, he's gotta be better than #26 and a .91. I can see him rising up to top 20 and .95 by the end of the cycle.

Like shuttle times faster than aTm DB's fast. So it's not out of the question the guy could rise to a .94 or so with a good season.Â
