Long snapper Justin Mader is also on scholarship now.

I will add the four new scholarships to the front page.
Since 3 are sophs. can we assume the ships are for one year?

Since 3 are sophs. can we assume the ships are for one year?

Good question, and I haven't seen clarification on that yet.

I will follow up on that if I do.

[SlickStreet]

I dont get how blOwU is above us? They are replacing their QB 4 of 5 offensive linemen their best receiver and they bring back one of the worst defenses in college football. How is that a top 10 team?

fragile D's or not, loss of starting QB and several linemen, along with skill guy or two, OU keeps reloading and winning the conference and making the playoffs.
Until someone unseats them, it's hard not to put them a little ahead of the rest of the group. And while Jalen isn't expected to win yet another Heisman for them, lot of people were busting on Kyler and saying the same about him last year (plus they had to replace several OL guys that year too, IIRC). Hurts also obviously has a ton of high-pressure experience.

hurts is not your typical "new QB" so that helps. still, one would have to think that the UT defense will be so much better than the OU one this season. in the end, the preseason ranking is a moot point.

There was an orange stripe on the helmet in the '50s IIRC. The Ohio St stripe looks goofy, IMO. If they have to do the stripe thing, a black stripe would work

The QB’s and RB’s already wear a black stripe to help display where they are looking when watching film.

[soldierhorn]

yep.... so an orange stripe would work for everyone else. I believe this is one of the many things Herman brought from Urban Meyer while at Ohio st and that's not a bad thing. OSU doesnt have a helmet emblem per se so Urban used the stripe.

24/7 spoke with Sanders for a while after his practice today and he told them a few things:

-Coach Giles and Coach Orlando are the coaches he speaks with the most.

-he grew up a UT fan and has lots of Longhorn fans in his family.

-he mentioned he has an idea of where he wants to go to school, and he could decide in the fall.

They believe Texas holds the edge here, and it helps that Denton Ryan has 2021 CB Billy Bowman and former UT FB Alex De La Torre coaches there.

[TFloss32]

24/7 checked in with a source recently for status on 2021 RB Camar Wheaton of Garland Lakeview Centennial.

While the departure of Coach Samples to SMU was a negative for UT and slowed his recruitment down, he still has the Longhorns high on his list.

He also has the best relationship with Coach Drayton.

The Eyes of Texas Are Upodcast (recruiting portion):


Hosts: Eric Nahlin, Joe Cook


Link to podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-eyes-of-texas-are-upodcast/id1437547041#episodeGuid=f8d6236770214bf48111ba15d 178bd6e (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-eyes-of-texas-are-upodcast/id1437547041#episodeGuid=f8d6236770214bf48111ba15d 178bd6e)
(recruiting segment starts at the beginning).


Jerrin Thompson:
Great tackler. Very physical. Fits in the nickel back spot. UT did great job of keeping him warm while evaluating.


Princely Umanmielen:
Head to head win over a&m. Again said that a&m was trying to convince him that he was Vonn Miller/Myles Garrett which he is not even comparable to. Joe said that he saw him play sophomore year and Erick Fowler’s little brother was the most talented on the field and then again his junior year and Princely was obviously the best. Fits UTs scheme better than a&m’s. Good for recruiting because he was a local’ish prospect and we didn’t have to go out of state to get a Logan Redding type of kid. 6’4 250ish. Similar to TQ Graham.


Xavion Alford:
One of the best films in state. Extremely instinctive and great vision. Great range. Plays faster than his 40. Not quite as physical as Jerrin. Will be ready early if there’s any available playing time. Always in the right spots. Football IQ is very, very good. Good athlete, elite IQ. Very vocal leader. Projects as field-side safety.


Quentin Johnston:
Rare athlete. Explosive. Fluid. (Apply all the “athletic” cliches here). Temple doesn’t run a lot of routes from the route tree but QJ won’t have a problem bc of his breaks and quickness. Needs to work on hands but it isn’t a concern bc he’s never dropped balls in games or camps, just needs to work on securing the ball and bringing it in with hands rather than arms/body. Limas Sweed type of player.


Still on the board recruits.


Josh Eaton:
Will be announcing commitment on Friday. Really raw but has loads of athletic ability. Will need to develop for a few years.


Ty Jordan:
Will announce soon. More power than his size shows. Hard to tackle. Not small, just short. Others have used Ty Jordan types to torch Texas in the past bc the staff shied away from small stature. Reiterated that he’s not small. He’s very hard to grab and get on the ground bc of his strength, low center, and wiggle. Both hosts very high on him. Good route runner and good hands. Swiss Army knife type of player. Stout kid with a lot of juice. Very mature demeanor. Will be a fan fav (assuming he commits to UT. <—-winking face emoji)


Included Team notes:


QBs:
-Casey Thompson starting to really come together as a college QB. Starting to compete with Ehlinger more every day. (Not the point of creating a controversy but his grasp on the game is becoming evident). Can win games with him if Ehlinger goes down (knock on wood).


-Sam Ehlinger doing Sam Ehlinger things. Making better judgements/reads.


RB’s:
-Running back backups need to be ready to go. Ingram and Whittington both have injury prone histories. Daniel Young will get significant carries this year. Young is a good 3rd down guy. Powerful and good blocker. Selfless guy.


-Whittington is a very good running back. Go watch state game and you can see his natural abilities. Won’t pass Ingram this year but could after a year to grow into the role and eating.


WR’s:
-Best group on the field. Collin Johnson is awesome. Great leader. Gotten bigger/stronger. Devin Duvernay didn’t work at slot when he first arrived on campus but he’s one of the best players and with Eagles really starting to show up, the staff had to find a place to get him in the game. Slot was the best place. Great route runner. Eagles is the best pure WR on the team. Amazing talent that will show as long as he’s healthy. Jake Smith will play this year. Too good to keep him off the field. Epps should have a boom or bust type of year. Showing really good athleticism and hands in practice. Not fast.


OL:
-Much more depth. Will be much improved. Next year (‘20) will be even better. Angilau is a beast. Braun is even more of a beast. Kerstetter doing well inside at guard. Okafor doing “ok” at tackle. May see some more outside runs instead of everything occurring between the tackles. Shackelford has entrenched himself at center. Cosmi is doing good as expected. Tyler Johnson, Christian Jones, and Hookfin will be ready next year. May get some snaps but not anything significant.


TE:
-Going to be a drop off in the blocking from Beck last year but an improvement in catching. TE roll may be slightly diminished. Year or two away from having the ideal guy they want.




Went through defense as well but it was all just rehashed/reheated media speak that we’ve heard since July.

Sucks for the kid.

[Vito Corleone]

Demas is an obvious talent, but I'm beginning to think there is some issues that is going to get in the way of him being the player she should be. Off the field issues.

[Randolph Duke]

Demas is an obvious talent, but I'm beginning to think there is some issues that is going to get in the way of him being the player she should be. Off the field issues.

Demas obviously loves the spotlight. It will be interesting to see how he deals with not having any media attention for an extended period of time, while the attention that would have been directed toward him is directed elsewhere.

That being said, in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Jiffy Pop Pocorn is trading lower in after market trading.

[rjv]

i don't know all of the details on the Demas situation, but the UIL doesn't exactly have the best track record either.

They believe a decision could go down any day in the next week.

Interview w/ Bijan Robinson:


Prefers Whataburger to In n’ Out (yes, for real).


Family atmosphere and great people drove him to Texas. Spoke of Coach Drayton and his faith in God as well as his coaching history of success.


His family had the best time at Texas.


The coaches at UT were the thing that stuck in his mind after his visit. Did well connecting with his family. Made him feel comfortable outside of just football.


On how the last week of his recruitment went: He did silent commit to Ohio state. He was pressured by coaches. They told him he had to commit by a certain date. When he committed he kept asking himself why he did it when UT and the staff had more to offer. It kept bugging him that he made the mistake with Ohio State so he switched a week and a half before he committed. Was a hard decision. Had to call Ohio State coaches. tOSU coaches took it professionally. Immediately called Herman and Drayton and told them and they were all very excited.


Looking forward to the culture in Austin. Loves the city. Not a 6th street type of guy. Not a partier. Very close to his family.


Said his strengths are his explosiveness. Needs to work on his looseness with the ball. Said his vision is his greatest strength.


He feels similar to Saquon Barkley, Kamara, and Reggie.


Out of all the recruits from the different schools that were recruiting him, Logan Parr and him talked the most. He’s close to Logan. He likes Hudson Card and they talk a lot as well.


Traveling to El Paso for 3rd game of season. (9/13 vs Del Valle. I’ll be traveling out to see it from DFW for anyone interested in ride sharing.) UT coaches will be there.


Loves longhorn nation and support we’ve shown and can’t wait to experience all the love.

Indeed. The whole situation is about to turn really shitty for all persons involved. EJ posted something yesterday about Demas’ situation having a big piece of info that people are unaware of. I’m assuming this is what he was referring to. I’m hoping that UT and all of our current recruits cut ties with FWK. He’s going to get people in trouble. That can’t be refuted at this point.

[Harvey88210]

She locked her twitter and put it on private. Someone is sweating..

While she is a seedy and weird old hag, I don’t honestly believe Jimbo Fisher got to where he is by hiring fat mouthed old broads with a penchant for attention to do his dirt. I think she puts herself in a lot of places because she’s not well and devotes her life and finances to her clear obsession with Jimbo. She has no husband and no real friends. She has a dog and her obsession. It’s unhealthy af and very funny to outsiders but I doubt Jimbo uses her for anything he could be implicated in. Most aggys don’t even like her. Now FWK on the other hand, that dude is dirty as shit and is going to get people in trouble. I wouldn’t allow him anywhere near this program or the athletes in it. He’s going to get caught. This instance will probably be just another building block for a case the NCAA is building against him. Aggsy better start distancing themselves from whatever relationship they have with the guy. It seems like UT has been limiting interactions with him after some of the previous stuff has been brought to light. You can’t dispel the coincidences in the Demas UIL ruling. I think a&m’s saving grace in this is that they never offered the Dunn kid that FWK, the Dunn family, and Demas were trying to obtain offers for.

[Harvey88210]

Karen, aka Karen Key Largo, aka Krazy Karen, aka bag hag, aka KKL.... She’s too much of a character to try to put into one post. She’s a crazy old heifer that followed Jimbo from Florida to college station. She legitimately obsessed. Like clinically. Not just “haha this crazy old bird” obsessed, she’s actually obsessed. She uprooted and moved to Houston area when Jimbo was hired, runs her mouth off about how she’s super close with recruits parents, close with boosters, close to and even friends with Jimbo...

Like I said, she’s too large of a personality to define in a post. If you don’t know then you can’t understand from second hand experience.

Inside Texas Q&A: (these are cliffs)


Q: Brockermeyer and Byrd timelines:
A: Brockermeyer probably next spring. Byrd has no timeline.


Q: Thoughts on Ja’Tavion Sanders being a 4i:
A: Not likely. Probably a b-backer.


Q: Current % on Byrd & Wheaton with Coach Samples being gone:
A: 35% on Byrd, 25% on Wheaton. IT thinks UT leads with Byrd. Cited his relationship with JQJ as being a key factor.


Q: Is Wheaton’s recruitment going to be difficult?
A: Nahlin felt UT still leads. Said it was hard to tell with Wheaton but a good season will keep UT among his favs.


Q: chances on landing Bruce Foster and Donovan Jackson
A: good of Foster as long as we recruit him for T&F. Felt Jackson was Stanford bound.


Q: Chances flipping LaTrell McCutchin
A: not good. Not worth the headache


Q: Best Mac an Rover options for 2021
A: Harris at rover, Trevion Sneed at Mac. Not a lot of options at LB in ‘21 class.


Q: Is Texas recruiting Bryce Foster for track an field.
A: T&F coaches hadn’t contacted him last they checked. He’s been assured he can throw by the football coaches. “They need to.” (recruit him for T&F)

Been watching the LSU games from last year, I truly am not that worried. Wr drop catchable balls (#1), off. line doesnt look that great, Devin white was their eraser (is divinity the replacement if so does he equate), need to get a hat on Delpit-every play, their d-line is big and slow, Dee anderson at wr is good along with T. Marshall.. burrow will/can run effectively need to game plan for that, #45 is not a replacement for Chaisson-so hard to gauge how big of a difference that will make but all in all not a big worry

In your opinion, which former Texas player did not receive a lot of hype/had a quieter career, but was a guy that you always enjoyed watching?


For me it was Brian Robison, John Hagy, Bret Hagar, and Rod Babers.

Fozzy Whittaker & Cody Johnson. Maybe Chris Ogbonaya but not sure he qualifies for quiet career.

Inside Texas commented on 2021 DE Landon Jackson of Texarkana Pleasant Grove last night.

They said he was definitely leaning Texas earlier in the year until Alabama and A&M started heavily pursuing his teammate, 2021 DT Marcus Burris.

However, they feel A&M pushed a little too hard once they took the lead and now he's back to slightly favoring Texas with Coach Orlando heading up his recruitment.

Bijan picked Texas in part because tOSU pushed too hard. Now we hear that Landon Jackson is down on aggsy because they push too hard. Tom is really a smart dude, he is making good decisions with how he is running the program. I really like it.

Did they give the impression that they'll both end up at the same school or go each his own path? Because I don't think Burris is coming to Texas. Aggy bound.

When Texas kicked the tires on him and found out what he was majoring in, that pretty much ended that recruitment. Apparently your degree path has to align with what Texas has to offer as far as a graduate degree and his was no bueno.

LSU has a drug testing program in place for athletics which sets terms for sanctions and follows NCAA guidelines.

You don't seem to have much experience with attorneys. If the kid is going to have to sit out a game for a "failed test" any decent attorney would challenge whether the test was accurate and, pending review and appeal of the test results, the kid would be allowed to play. Drop the appeal after the Texas game, let the player sit out a meaningless game, and there you go.

If the school wanted the player eligible for the Texas game, they would also argue the kid should be allowed to play, pending resolution of the test results challenge (wink, wink). Courts are loathe to impose a penalty on an individual while questions of due process are unresolved.

You need to have more faith in the ability of S!E!C! schools to skirt their own rules. After all, the S!E!C! rules are written with built-in safegards against their application during "inconvenient times."

Expelled could mean good luck graduating 2020.

Different rules for different districts as well.
So it would be good to have more info as it comes in if you guys can get it.

Edit:
Private school, sorry.

Very interesting. Something pretty significant had to have happened because Trinity Catholic really likes its football program and he was a major piece. Takes a lot to get kicked out for a football player.
