2020 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[texbound]

I can die peacefully now.



His mom likes our team.
She will tell him he must play in Austin.

In all honestly, the chances are probably slim, very slim. However, Im not giving up hope for him to be a part of UTs 2020 class because everyone else is speculating he is UGA or Oregon bound. He probably is trolling at the Army practices, but hey it's something to hold hope for.

An Oregon website thinks that Gawgah is the spot he's going:

5* CB Kelee Ringo - Georgia
Consensus five-star cornerback Kelee Ringo signed during the early signing period.
The question, though, is with whom?
Despite a late push from Oregon, it sounds like Ringo is headed to Georgia, the program believed to be his leader for some time.
Ringo will announce at the Adidas All-American Bowl on January 4.

On Monday he showed up wearing UT gear. I think that's a misdirection so that his announcement will have some drama. He's going to Dawgs guys:

If Texas can close with Collins, Umanmeilan (sp), and Dixon than this was a really, really good class. Would love one more CB. Ringo would've just been icing to make this a great class. Hopefully one day soon Texas can be the team consistently pulling 5-7 elite players a year. I think they're getting there with Card, Jackson, Robinson and Brought on this year. Hopefully they can pull both Brockermeyers, Byrd, and Weaton to go with Mile of and Sanders next year.

word from someone who seems wired in really well is that he's just being a jerk, that there's nothing to see there. He's signed with Georgia, and speculated for a big wad of cash (again, I can't prove this, but there's a lot of smoke with that program)

To add to the Evans stuff, Georgia 24/7 believes he did sign with them on December 18th, but heard he started reaching out to other schools less than 24 hours later.

Anything is possible based on Evans' erratic behavior, but I think you have to consider Georgia finally gave up on the drama and told him he's free to go elsewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has qualification issues as well.

Hudson Card had a really nice touchdown pass to put his team up by 10 I believe. Actually threw an equally impressive TD pass before then but it was called back for a penalty. Broughton supposedly looked nice and had a tackle or two in limited play.

Floss, have you seen anything on potential position coaches? Here's those that I've seen being mentioned by the different sites. Anyone I've missed?

OC: Mike Yurcich
QB: Mike Yurcich
RB: Stan Drayton
WR: Emmett Jones (Kansas, WR), Andre Coleman (interim WR)
TE: None (IT (I think it was) reported that Warehime would interview, but most likely wouldn't be retained)
OL: Herb Hand

DC: Chris Ash
DL: Oscar Giles, Elijah Robinson (TAMU DL. Might be going to the NFL with Rhule), Frank Okam (Baylor DL)
LB: Robb Smith (former Minnesota DC/LB. Worked with Ash at Arkansas)
CB: Jason Washington (247 mentioned he would interview this week)
S: Ash himself (if he goes with 1 LB, 2 DL and 2 DB coaches)

I agree on Robinson. But I would be happy with either of Okam or Robinson alongside Giles.

I’d prefer Okam over Robinson just cause I’d rather not be pulling coaches from A&M. Also Okam seemed to get his guys playing really well up front and it’s also great to have an alum on staff that was here when we were elite.

LJ:

“I grew up watching Texas a lot. Them moving to a four-man front helps. I was heavy on them early last year, but they started fading because of the fit,” Jackson said before the Future 50 Camp in Orlando. “I prefer the four-man front so I can stay on the edge and rush the passer.”

Jackson is a 6-6, 240-pound five-star prospect with 24 offers. He suffered a season ending knee injury as a sophomore. It was a tough, frustrating journey back to the field, but it ended with a Class 4A Division II state championship. It was his second in three years as a varsity player.


“It was great to bounce back from the knee injury. I missed football and I wanted to go win a title,” he said. “I felt 100% about four months after the surgery, but the doctors wanted me to wait until eight months out to go full-go and it worked out great.”


Jackson said he has trimmed his list to about 10 schools and hopes to commit by early in his senior season. The talented pass rusher listed Texas, Texas A&M, LSU and Alabama as schools that have separated from the pack. A&M holds a family advantage with his dad having played college basketball for the Aggies. Relationships and scheme should determine his eventual destination.

“I’m talking to LSU and Texas A&M the most right now. They’re contacting me three times a week and really showing me how I’d fit in their scheme,” Jackson said. “I want the place with the best plan for me, on and off the field.”

TA:

Another junior defensive lineman back on the radar is Tunmise Adeleye. The five-star from Katy Tompkins also didn’t like Texas’ odd-man front and was leaning toward programs with a four-man front. The hiring of Ash and move to a four-man front has Adeleye interested; his teammate and quarterback, Jalen Milroe, is a UT commit for 2021.


“I’ll be back at Texas in January,” Adeleye declared. “I want to see what the new defensive vision is about.”


Adeleye is a 6-3, 260-pound defender with the potential to grow into a three-technique defensive tackle. He and Jackson will be the top-ranked defensive linemen in the state for the 2021 class and the Longhorns hope to land one, if not both, five-star talents.

I wish Houston would have drafted him, cause we get all of their games in SA. I hated that he went to play for Fisher, the anti-QB HC. IMO, Fisher accelerated the negative choices Vince was making. Vince needed someone to support him, almost coddle him, but Fisher did neither. Fisher actually tore him down. Had Vince gone to a more QB friendly team, I believe he has a solid 10-14 year career as a starter and primary backup.

I really dislike the hire. Packers fans have been trashing Mike McCarthy for years & they were happy AF when he got fired last season. So it's no surprise to see Packer fans & folks who watch a lot of Packers games are clowning the Cowboys for this hire. I never understood why Packers fans hated & complained so much about Mike McCarthy until I watched this really good X&O's video SBNation.com's Brett Kollerman did last season on why the Packers offense was garbage under McCarthy. It's not pretty & doesn't speak well about McCarthy as a playcaller & gameplanner:

If true, 7 yr 60 million, that is well over 8 mill a year....and if he reaches his incentives it goes up to 10 mill a year, cause he has 10 mill worth of incentives in the deal.

Who has he coached?

[Vito Corleone]

This is what his Wiki page says about Frank Wilson.


In 2011, Rivals.com named Wilson the National Recruiter of the Year.[6] In 2014, NFL.com named Wilson the top recruiter in all of college football.[7][8] In 2015, Scout.com honored Wilson as the SEC Recruiter of the Year.[9] In 2015, LSU secured a Top 5 recruiting class, according to 247Sports. The achievement marked the first time since 2002–03 that LSU finished with back-to-back Top 5 recruiting classes in America. From 2011–2014, 29 LSU Tigers have been selected in the NFL Draft which ranks second to Alabama (30).[10]

[Bloeddyr10]

This is what his Wiki page says about Frank Wilson.

Which is exactly why I think he's the best option. Everybody praised Drayton for his ability as a coach (his work with Zeke and Jordan Howard was highlighted) and his work with Roschon this year is remarkable. But it is also a position where you have the time to really be a difference maker as a recruiter. His resume as a recruiter is pretty much second to none in college football.

He did have a pretty good run with Stevan Ridley, Jeremy Hill, Alfred Blue, Spencer Ware and Leonard Fournette while at LSU.

Hey Chris Del Conte, how about that “ We aren’t going to lose out on anyone over money” talk?
$225,000 to dominate DFW recruiting is peanuts in the grand scheme.

The irony - dirty schools spend $225,000 on individual recruits. Texas refuses to spend $225,000 on 1 coach who can bring in multiple recruits of that elite talent level.

From a profitability perspective it’s better to spend that $$$ on talented clean coaches rather than spend the $$$ on individual recruits (like dirty schools). That’s if the the talented coach can bring in the elite talent with fair play

I will be surprised if this works out. Epps doesnt have the build or the mentality to be a blocker against mean defensive ends - just dont see that working out. It could be like Finley where they called him a TE but he never really was a TE. He was just a tall, slower receiver

true... but it's not just weight; good blockers have a certain mentality that I dont think Epps had, has or will have. Good blockers WANT to hit someone even if the play goes the other direction. Epps doesnt show this mentality even with plays on his play-side.

Those damn male sheep.......think Arlington coach Drayton

[Biggems]

From a recruiting standpoint, adding Frank Wilson and Emmett Jones to the staff could be an epic move. It could put us as a permanent fixture in the top 5 every year. Then, once we get the talent, they know how to coach them up.

[rjv]

is there actually anything substantive linking wilson to a UT hire? i think it'd be great for him to land at UT. he may not have delivered at UT but from all that i have heard about him, he is a high quality person.

[Vito Corleone]

I really don't want to lose Drayton, but if we do, then we really need to go after Frank Wilson. The more I read about him, the more I like what he brings.

Bijan is the jewel of this class, we cannot lose him, if that means stepping up to pay Drayton, that is what we do.

[Vito Corleone]

This can't be stressed enough, we want the best, we need to put our money where our mouth is. If we lose Bijan because we lose Drayton then we need to not lose Drayton. I don't care what the cowboys or rams offer.

once again sec does whatever it takes to win..........big12 fired him for putting a player in a closet.......sec will not even bat at eye if he does that at msu

It always astounds me how people with essentially nothing else in their lives cling to such meaningless things to compensate.

[soldierhorn]

[FONT=Verdana]
So you mean a Flex TE?

yes, Flex TE is not a real thing; it's just a title for being a bigger slower slot receiver on LOS. A real TE is tight on the line and dual receiver/blocker. Finley was not tight and not a blocker.

[woofwoof]

true... but it's not just weight; good blockers have a certain mentality that I dont think Epps had, has or will have. Good blockers WANT to hit someone even if the play goes the other direction. Epps doesnt show this mentality even with plays on his play-side.

I'm with ya, I equated it to be emotion but I get what you mean about the physicality part. Might be why he stayed at WR when he got here.

I've expected him to get faster, meaner and more dominant since we signed him, but I've seen nothing of the sort.

I though the same thing, but I did some searching on him.

1. he is a DFW guy from Euless.
2. He has been in Kansas City Chiefs organization and Georgia Bull dogs
3. He is young and probably understands the kids mind better than an old guy does.
4. Pass defense is where Ash made his living and this guy has been around ash for 10 years

I'm willing to give the guy a chance before I poop on the hire.

Side note, I found this in the Rivals article posted above, now I really like this guy.


Back at the college level, Valai is back recruiting, including in his home state of Texas. As mentioned, the Euless native helped trained high school and professional athletes after he days at Wisconsin and helped found the company Grindhouse Sports Training near Dallas.

I haven't seen anything in the last few games that leads me to believe that there is going to be a huge drop off from Burrow. I watched their backup step in during the aggy and blowu games and cut both teams to pieces. That tells me it's a combination of the system and their athletes. LSU is always going to have the athletes, but hopefully the system can go away.
