I can't say I've ever seen UT so low in recruiting rankings on Rivals. 59?
I know it's because of only 8 commits but damn. Are they gonna crack the top 25 by signing day?

I'm willing to bet they'll be in the Top 20 easy, unless they absolutely bomb and don't make a bowl.Quote:

I'm willing to bet Texas ends up with another top 10 class.
Texas will take
1 RB probably a 4-star
2-3 Olinemen at lease one will be a 4-star
1 more WR guaranteed to be a 4-star
2 more DTs both likely to 3-star but maybe one will be 4-star by signing day.
1-2 DE both will be 4-star
2 Linebackers both will be 4-star
2-3 DBs all should be 4 star.
When it is all said and done I expect a full class of about 22 - 25 signees with 12 to 14 being 4-star kids.
Im fine with whatever if we can get football players. Hager was a 3 star and Strong is talking him up as the type of player he is looking for. Although a few more Malik types could go a long way as well. Patterson has found gems among lower rated recruits so why can't Strong and staff...Quote:

This is really good for Texas, the longer he goes the better chance Texas has of making a big impression.Quote:

I'm originally from the midwest and that's the only test a lot of kids take.Quote:

He should gray shirt. Best case scenario, a redshirt.
The good news is he won't lose any eligibility should he go through a prep school.Quote:

24/7 reporting Texas is "starting to get in the mix" for DE Jonathan Marshall of Shepherd:

I should follow up and say they think a UT offer would change things despite his commitment to OK State.Quote:

He's been pissed for weeks and weeks now, I know since I follow him on snapchat. However in the past week he has seemed defeated. I understand an athlete cheating isn't out of the question but having him retake the test based on pure suspicion seems completely unfair.Quote:

Seems that's the case, yeah.Quote:

Most of the time if you know how the test works you can take it and do well.
EXAMPLE - I took the FINRA Series 7 exam a few years ago. First time I took it was was prepared but I misjudged my time and ended up running out of time for part 1. I missed on passing it by 3 pts. I retook the exam a month later, my knowledge didn't improve that much but I used better judgement in taking the exam and for both Part 1 and Part 2 I finished with over 40 minutes and I blew the test away getting an 89%. I didn't get smarter, i just understood going in what that test was and used good strategy in my test taking skills.
He can do the same. I believe he has taken the test twice now, so this third time will be the same.
Good luck to him.
