    So glad that street agent jkb still has family members to sell. Didn’t the last family member get kicked off the Baylor team?

    He's supposedly been trying to shop the Newton kids around as a package deal to a bunch of schools, and has supposedly been trying to get some sort of job in TCU's recruiting department (won't happen)

    Roach's comments on the Cain recruitment were weird. They seemed completely off base to me.  LSU and tOSU are both loading up at RB like you said and Cain has reservations about other RBs in his class. I'm not sure how we could not be considered the favorite to land him.

    I'm not even sure who the primary competition is at this point, because it's not longer those two teams. Maybe OU?

    I think that one is trending against us, at least for now. Hornsby doesn't seem to be in any hurry to decide, though, so if Herman and Beck can turn it around on that front it could get interesting.

    I could be wrong, but the Hornsby offer and recent Card momentum reads like the staff might be giving up on Young, their plan-a, and focusing on presumably their plan-b; Card and Hornsby.

    That would be an amazing class. By the time they would get to campus, it would be Sam, Rising, Thompson, Johnson, Card, Hornsby?

    that would be an amazing QB room.

    Long way off, but in their first year, Ehlinger would be a senior, Rising and Thompson would be third year guys, and Roschon a sophomore. Chances are at least one transfers, probably either Thompson or Rising, although that might not be until the spring after Ehlinger graduates and Thompson, Rising, and Roschon are vying for the starting spot. If Roschon wins the job, then both probably transfer. Long way off, of course.. 

  5. Smith could have indicated to the coaches that he was coming here previously, but the staff could have decided to hold off on telegraphing a silent commit from him until after his USC visit, right? It's plausible that he was in the bag already, but that today's or yesterday's emoji doesn't necessarily mean someone new behind the scenes, just that someone who was already counted behind the scenes is now made more public 

    And I hate myself for analyzing fucking twitter emojis 

  6. Las Vegas Opening results are up, unfortunately the Arizona guys weren't there 

    The only guy we're connected to I noticed at first glance is Pittman, and maybe Jordan Patterson, although I'm not sure how hard we're recruiting him. 

    Micah Pittman 5'11 194 4.69 4.39 36 30.4 87.63
    Jordan Patterson 6'3-1/2 195 4.59 4.49 34.0 32.8 89.07

    Looked into this a little bit and think Mehringer was at Permian to see Peyton Powell. He's a transfer from private school Midland Christian and may have been under the radar because of it.

    There's two more there, although not sure if they're Texas good

    Is Cain an early enrollee?

    If not, I could see him committing at his all star game. 

     

    Guys who've mentioned planning on enroll early

    Roschon Johnson

    Jordan Whittington

    De'Gabriel Floyd

    DeMarvin Leal

    Jared Wiley

    Noah Cain

    Some others like Arje, Wease, Nana, and Garrett Wilson are also planning on enrolling early

    Has he even visited Clemson or Washington?  When he visited Texas he also visited LSU and OUsucks and they didn't make the cut.  Bama' already has 4 or 5 DL commits.  Shit I don't want to get my hopes up but we may have a shot.

    From what I've read on Bama boards, they're planning on taking 6 or 7 DL, and Fatti probably has a spot reserved in their class. They currently have 3 DL committed, although there's speculation that Sopsher is a silent commit and just doesn't want to deal with the craziness of living in Louisiana while being committed to Bama for a long period of time

    Day one contributors to top 10 level programs on the DL are few and far between. Having said that I totally get what you're saying (though I'll take a 2018 DL level haul 4 years in a row and stack it against anyone that isn't Clemson or Bama) but at this point the only "great" DL that we have outright missed on, in those parameters is probably DeMarvin Leal and to be honest I don't think he's a day 1 guy either. Tremendous NFL upside and frame. I want him in the worst way, but he's not even a surefire early contributor and could see a RS season. NaNa is 100% a RS guy. Sweat, Stripling, and Ibeneme (if he returns 100%) are the only other guys on the DL that could contribute early to a top tier defense, IMHO. I guess you could get situational help from Caesar, Mowry, or Parker on 3rd and miles but they're far from ready for 3 down play. 

    Leal and Nana both planning on EE makes the redshirt less likely
