May 10, 20196 yr More from IT on linebacker: Quote - Butler (KS) CC ILB Juwan Mitchell is already on campus for an official visit. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Minnesota commit picked up his offer from the Longhorns last week, the second time UT has gone to Butler CC for a defender in the 2019 class (Jacoby Jones). And yes, Mitchell is a 2019 player with the ability to enroll in the first summer semester. He'll have four years to play three at the next level. After Mitchell took an official visit to Fayetteville last weekend, UT decided to bring him in for a closer look. Given needs beyond just De'Gabriel Floyd's situation, it makes sense. The feeling here is if UT wants him they'll get him. He says he's unsure if he'll take any more visits after this weekend. We don't think Texas would take both Florida graduate transfer Kylan Johnson and Mitchell. Mitchell is likely on a job interview. Does UT want to invest multiple years with him as opposed to just one with Johnson? We shall see. Â

May 11, 20196 yr On 5/8/2019 at 12:40 PM, Machinator said: The staff got handed a shit sandwich by the previous regime in terms of LB depth, then compounded the issue by making Adeoye the only true ILB take and not pushing for DaShaun White early enough, or taking another JUCO between Gary and Caleb Johnson. They did much, much better in 2019 (even factoring in the tragic situation with Floyd), but there's a giant experience gap. Given all this, throwing numbers at the problem is the best course of action at this point. White has done not a fuckin thing at OU yet, for how many posters wanted him so badly around here.Â

Things at LB would seem a lot better if Texas had gotten Murray, White, and Bonitto. Edited May 11, 20196 yr by HtownHorn
May 11, 20196 yr Roach on the JUCO LB Spoiler I spoke to a source near Mitchell. He was supposed to be in on Thursday, but his plane in Houston was delayed due to weather. I’m told that the visit is going well. Mitchell’s former teammate Jacoby Jones is hosting him on campus, and the source near Mitchell said the two are close. We will have more after the visit, but I’m feeling confident here. Â

The GT from Florida is depth if nothing else, and can probably play STs. Right now you have a team where 2 ILBs have played a down of football higher than high school.

Sure he could go to some shitty school, or he could go to UT and get a good start towards his masters at a good academic school. Why would you degrade your undergrad degree from Florida, with a Masters at some shitty academic school. Plus, Texas is home and he has connections to the program.

May 12, 20196 yr I am for sure no Daddy98 when it comes to evaluating linebackers, but Mitchell looks much better than Rashad Bobino, Dusty Renfro and Aaron Harris. Â
