Nice commit video, great pickup. Kid's a thumper. Needs to learn to wrap up and not go for the kill everytime. I'm sure the staff will coach him up on that.

There is some validity to a Tatum flip. It has a lot to do with situations at home that I cannot get into. If he sticks, he sticks. But more and more people that know the situation will tell you it is leaning in OU direction.

Horns247: You can’t talk about specific prospects, but the 2018 class is coming together nicely. How excited are you about this class and how good can it be?


Herman: "It has a chance to be a historic class to be honest with you because of how deep the talent pool is in the state of Texas. We feel good about our chances with a lot of the top prospects in the state as well we should. This is the University of Texas. I know we’ve gone through a rough patch the last couple of years, but we still offer one of the Top 25 educations in the world. We’re the No. 1 city in America to live in. We have a rich and storied tradition. We’re building state of the art first class facilities. There is a lot to like, and we feel good about the 2018 class."

[pgardn]

Cook will be in play as long as the team wins in the fall.

A QB goes down. An RB goes down.

We end up 0.500
Its a thin line, no experienced depth at skill positions.
Our starting QB is a sophomore...

Then do we see decommits, or do we actually play well enough it becomes obvious we will be very good. This is such a small part of what has to go right. "Great graphics guy on that UT team for recruiting..." rather not win in that little game.

I wouldn't worry about RB as much as I would QB. And no way we end up at .500 this year. I truly believe Texas will surprise a lot of folks and recruits will follow.

What about being seriously honest? What about Stoops recruiting for Riley? Most likely not but it would have been refreshingly honest, but I imagine the knowlege would have spread much quicker.

I seriously doubt it it came from OU, but Stoops had to be thinking about it before today. And if others knew he was thinking about it...

Rumor out there that Stoops was diagnosed with a heart issue about a month ago, so this wasn't necessarily planned even though the claim is Riley was being groomed as head-coach-in-waiting regardless.

another safety no way that's possible, right?

CB/LB depending on how they develop?
Maybe some have played WR as well?

With all the crazy designations we have at LB and DB and playing in the Big 12 maybe it's a good thing.

-2019 CB Derek Stingley of Baton Rouge, LA has already scheduled a return visit to Austin for July 21st. This should be the date of the annual "Under the Lights" camp (or whatever Herman will call it it now).

He does play on that team, but I don't think his status matters for this particular weekend because the staff is up to something and trying to get several studs on campus together.

At least a dozen big names have confirmed they'll be in Austin next weekend, but nobody has given details on what exactly is happening.

And the timing is no accident with A&M having their recruiting BBQ next Sunday.

So is it safe to say DeShawn ****** and Brandon Jones will be our starting safeties? I can't remember how well Jones is doing with this current staff. My impression was that Jones is supposed to be really good. He made some big hits and plays on special teams as a Frosh.

We really have to clean up on the QB scrambles when the coverage was good. This killed us last year on D. We would have good coverage on 3 and long and I don't know how many times the opposing QB seemed to prance for the first down with yards to spare. We spent a lot of time on the field due to this, it was maddening.

Damn the asterisks due to Sean. Can we get that fixed for THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

And anything on our JC linebacker that was supposed to be so helpful?

Someone asked earlier about Juco LB commit Gary Johnson

Jeff Howe (24/7)

The most interesting tidbit we picked up from Texas’ offseason workouts over the past week has been the sudden impact made by Gary Johnson. The No. 1-ranked junior college inside linebacker prospect in the 2017 recruiting cycle has hit the ground running in Austin. A team source said that during a recent conditioning session where the skill position players on the team were running sprints, Johnson was leading the pack the entire way through the drill.

Johnson is said to be setting the pace in workouts and the coaches who’ve been around him during his short time on campus are said to be extremely impressed with what he’s bringing to the table every day. “This guy is a freak athlete,” the team source said. “For a linebacker to look as good physically as he does and then be able to run like a deer is one of the most impressive things you’ll see. I can’t wait until he puts pads on to see if it carries over to the field.”

According to the source, the plan Todd Orlando has for how to use Johnson is to put him at the Mack position next to Malik Jefferson (Rover). Orlando will wind up letting the inside linebackers on the squad cross-train at both positions before the Longhorns really dig into planning for the season opener against Maryland, but the initial recruiting pitch to Johnson of wanting him to play next to Jefferson appears to be how the staff will indeed use the one-time Alabama commit.

Five-star WR Terrace Marshall of Bossier City, LA tells OrangeBloods he'll take two more visits to Austin, one this summer and an official in the fall.

“Texas fits in pretty well right now. They’re part of my recruitment, a big part of my recruitment,” Marshall said. “I’m really looking at them. Coach (Tom) Herman and coach (Drew) Mehringer are really good people and I’m just still evaluating them.”

“He (Coach Mehringer) says he wants to use me as his biggest target, come there and maybe start as a freshman,” Marshall said. “They’ve been doing very well with recruiting me. They’ve been showing me lots of love and that they really want me. That’s what put them up top.”

“He’s been trying to work me,” Marshall said of his high school teammate Justin Rogers, a TCU commitment. “As a quarterback and wide receiver, there’s a connection so he tries to recruit me. (Texas commitment) Casey Thompson, I’ve talked to him too. He’s a very good quarterback. He’s very versatile. He can run and throw, so I really feel like that’s a good situation for him.”

“I’m going to bring physicality. I’m going to bring speed. I have a big frame, I can go up and get it any time. I can also run a regular route like a normal 5-10 receiver,” Marshall said. “I have the whole package basically.”
