I heard Moore and Pettijohn were coming here until Brandon Harris showed them the weight room

I can't even imagine what LSU's payroll is for this upcoming season.

Gerry said that he strongly believes Dallas Wilson snuck in for a midweek unofficial last month that was unreported.

Gerry really did not seem concerned at all about the Georgia visit.

The guy had a July 1st commitment date and LSU offered June 28th. The next day he pushed back his commitment date.

Chester and Phillips is a nice floor for the DB class. Phillips is a top 65 kid in the country for On3. Interestingly I think Gideon put in more work for both than Joseph did. LSU jumping in at the 11th hour to steal Anding was a tough break. I never seriously thought Texas was getting Brew after they couldn't even get him in for weekend OV. DB is pretty low on this cycle's concern list, especially after the DB class that was brought in last year. They really just need to add one more solid piece to pair with the two mentioned above.

He just said this morning that Johnson is torn on his decision and that A&M is in it for Lockett more than people think along with Texas and Bama. Did he say some other time those guys are leans to other schools?

The shine seems to have worn off Lacey over the last year. Not saying he isn't a good prospect, but there was quite a bit of hype when he initially committed, and he has steadily dropped in the rankings since. This would be a bad year to have a QB exit the class less than 5 months from signing day. It would compound all the other issues, considering you want those guys to usually be the ringleader of the class. I feel the staff may look back in a few years and wish they had a do-over with the Lacey/Russell situation. Regardless, QB is still in a fine spot pipeline-wise with Arch/Owens and Dia Bell in 2026.

Anything happen while the site was down? Brandon Harris our new HC?

Regarding Jamie Ffrench

This isn't EA Sports NCAA 25. You don't get to tell blue chip prospects when to commit. They hold the cards and the leverage. It's not that complicated.

Gerry Jacksonville (Fla) Mandarin 5-star WR Jaime Ffrench tells OnTexasFootball that he is likely to make an OV to Georgia the last weekend of July. Texas remains in a very good spot over Tennessee right now. Miami and LSU very much on the peripheral.

Tennessee, Missouri, OU, Kentucky, Texas and Vandy all have turf. Mississippi State has turf outlining the field with real grass in the field of play which I think looks horrible but I guess the thinking is to put turf in the places that have the most foot traffic.

Steve Wiltfong notes WR Kaliq Lockett On3’s No. 3 ranked receiver Kaliq Lockett has his decision date set for Aug. 7 with Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Texas and Texas A&M as the finalists. The Longhorns are the current On3 RPM favorite. The Crimson Tide are currently considered the biggest challenger. Keen on the other three, we’ll see if one of them can make a move over the next month. Lockett ranks as On3’s No. 21 prospect overall. OT Michael Fasusi Lewisville (Texas) High five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi’s top three includes Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. There’s some buzz around the Longhorns right now but expect the Aggies and Sooners to turn it up after missing on Ty Haywood (uncommitted and looking at Alabama and Florida State) and Lamont Rogers (who recently committed to Missouri. Fasusi ranks as the nation’s No. 7 offensive tackle and No. 32 prospect overall. ATH Michael Terry III On3’s No. 1 ranked athlete is took official visits to Nebraska, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M. The San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights product is aiming to make a decision before his senior season. Texas is the heavy On3 RPM favorite but don’t sleep on the Aggies or Ducks. WR Jaime Ffrench Texas may have the slight edge for the Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin product but LSU and Miami are right there for the Sunshine State standout who is expected to return to all three campuses in July ahead of his August decision date. This is a recruitment that’s had a lot of changes at the top so the Longhorns are in a battle to stay in pole position. Ffrench is the No. 8 receiver in the class and No. 55 prospect overall. DL DJ Sanders Depending on who you talk to, they have Texas or Texas A&M out in front for the Bellville (Texas) High defensive lineman. Michigan is trying to persuade the 6-foot-4, 325-pound Sanders to head out of state. This is shaping up to be a tight one between the Aggies and Longhorns. Sanders ranks as the country’s No. 6 defensive lineman and No. 71 prospect overall. TE Nick Townsend The Spring (Texas) Dekaney tight end took official visits to USC, Alabama, Texas A&M and Texas. The Longhorns are looking like the team to beat. On3 has Townsend ranked as the No. 6 tight end in the land and No. 88 prospect overall.

I got no problem making Jalin Flores the highest paid player on the team for him to run it back. Premium position, middle of the order bat with another year under Tulo? I’ll bet that is worth the investment.

Michael Terry will be attending the pool party at the end of the month (25th I think), per Justin Wells

If that 247 article from this morning is right this will be the top schools list with the announcement date being made public.

Overall team ranking also moved from 15th to 13th with the update

On3 released a rankings update: Smith Orogbo: 26 -> 20 Lance Jackson: 37 -> 22 Bo Barnes: 117 -> 61 Kade Phillips: 105 -> 65 James Simon: 115 -> 161 Rickey Stewart: 212 -> 215 KJ Lacey: 215 -> 255

From Chad Simmons (national guy at On3) 4-star LB Madden Faraimo The buzz: Madden Faraimo wants to end his recruitment as soon as he can. He was quietly eyeing a decision last week, but the San Diego (Calif.) J Serra linebacker held off. That was a positive for Texas. Heading into that last official visit to Austin, the buzz was heavy around Notre Dame. USC isn’t going away either, and they have to be considered a contender, but Faraimo looked to be a lean to the Irish. That official visit to Texas opened his eyes. A decision this month is now unlikely, and he could end up taking a couple of more visits before he makes his decision. Faraimo is big on family and he has been around a lot of family members over the past week and he is working to make a decision. He just isn’t there there and there is a tight battle for that top spot.

Gerry running through the upcoming decisions this morning: WR Kelshaun Johnson- A&M or Texas on July 10th. A&M has been pushing the longest but Sark has been in contact with him and his mom multiple times this weekend. LB Jonathan Cunningham- Texas or TCU on July 12th. Comes down to if he is okay with sitting a year and developing at Texas vs potentially getting on the field right away at TCU. WR Tanook Hines- USC, Notre Dame or Texas on July 15th. A&M has been in contact too and he thinks maybe it could be tied to Kelshaun Johnson TE Nick Townsend- Texas vs A&M and USC on July 15th. DT DJ Sanders- Texas or A&M. Michigan running third. Decision at some point in July. S Nathan Tilmon- An announcement is coming any day. Texas trending over Utah and TCU LB Madden Faraimo- Texas or Notre Dame. Decision coming this month. CB Aidan Anding- LSU visit in late July. Will be a Tiger unless something weird happens. WR Kaliq Lockett- A&M turning up the heat along with Texas, Bama and FSU. Decision in early August. WR Jamie Ffrench- Texas continues to feel good ahead of August 30th decision. OT Michael Fasusi- Late August decision. Texas vs OU with OU trending since late June. OT Nick Brooks- Texas continues to have confidence over Georgia ahead of the September decision ATH Michael Terry- Fall decision expected. Texas, Oregon, A&M and Nebraska.

Damn apparently Patton got the same price tag as Zach Root. Around 400k.

Myles Patton to A&M. That is a bad beat as was leaning Texas for a long time. I’m assuming the money truck got backed up when A&M found out Texas was involved.

Johnson, Townsend and Hines pushing back their announcements due to Beryl, per OTF. Johnson now set to announce the 10th. Townsend and Hines the 11th.
