“Texas is on me super-hard recently,” he said. “I’ve been having a lot of conversations with them. Just about me going forward and what my plan would be at Texas. Mostly with Coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) and Coach (LaAllan) Clark. Coach P.K. (Pete Kwiatowski), I talk to him pretty regularly as well.”

CB Justice Fitzpatrick of Fort Lauderdale, FL told On3 that Texas is still trying hard to flip him.

He didn't use his scheduled official visit to Austin once he committed to Georgia, but mentioned it's likely he'll be in Austin this fall.

“I would say probably Texas,” Fitzpatrick said of the school that is pushing the second most for a flip. “It was Florida, but I think Florida simmered down because they could tell that I was really locked in with Georgia. They still try to talk to me here and there. Texas, they are still trying to build a strong relationship. With Texas and Florida, it’s kind of like just keeping the line open just in case something happens.”

“During the season, yeah, I probably am,” Fitzpatrick said of visiting the schools as mentioned earlier. “A lot of them are still trying to keep in communication with me. As of now, I haven’t fully set up things, but most of them are still pushing for that.”

I kinda like this. It’s seems both are more disruptive. Anyways, it seems we have what seems like a lot of competent players at DT. So finding the right pair(s) may be more important than who starts in the long run. The two mentioned do not seem to be use as “space filler” like Brevard or Big Bill Norton last year.

Ian Boyd of IT seems worried about aUT defense that can’t find a nickel.
Lots of names going around for the spot. I guess Barron’s absence might be his real concern.

Possibly the trifecta of Barron, Taaffe, and Mukuba working so well together.
Hopefully we get an DE Tsunami to help the secondary out a bit.

I did start thinking that putting the Taaffe down closer to the line might work for the defensive backfield, but how does that affect the communication and having a “right place right time” safety? The idea of moving Taaffe from safety is sorta scary. I guess Boyd thinks it smells like we don’t have a good nickel.

These are tiny things to worry about pre season, but it’s interesting.

Cooper, but no coincidence the Edwards news comes out right after Cooper said he was going to take visits this season.

Good news is he still has his Texas official, as does Edwards.

Nah, he's a borderline five-star prospect who lives in one of the hottest recruiting areas in the country and in Miami's backyard.

Nature of the beast, and not a huge surprise he's going to continue shopping much like Ffrench did.

Spiegelman says he "loves" Texas' positioning for Bryant.

Ian Boyd of IT would say we don’t have a real star so we must try many options.
So it’s a weakness. The really high level passing teams will be able to exploit us even with our pass rush probably getting much better.

Boyd is an interesting character as a skeptic.

OTF wrote this morning that WR Emmett Mosley V hasn't been fully participating in practices for a while now.

They believe he's re-aggravated a lower leg injury from the summer, and it kept him out of last weekend's scrimmage.

IT mentioned LB Izayia Williams of Tavares, FL as someone Texas will continue to pursue.

https://247sports.com/player/izayia-williams-46144934/

Williams made commitment #6 today, so I'll believe Texas brings him to Austin when I see it.

This is significant imo. He fills a vital role that our transfer TE also plays. Big targets for first downs and red zone scores.
