Gerry Hamilton It's Texas vs. Georgia, Texas A&M & state of Florida down the stretch The Texas Longhorns are battling against the SEC recruiting power, a hated rival and the Sunshine State with a signing day a week away. Steve Sarkisian and staff's ability to sign the No. 1 or 2 class a week from today will come down to a handful of recruitments in the states of Georgia, Florida and Texas. And those are the three states that should be the heavy focus of the Texas program in future years. OnTexasFootball provides the latest with December 4 seven days away. Georgia vs. Texas for 5-star DL OnTexasFootball was told by a source Tuesday night that Texas believes Georgia is the competition for 5-star DL Justus Terry (Manchester, Ga./High). As we have said, Kirby Smart does not want Terry to sign with Texas. Georgia doesn't want Texas to start gaining that level of traction in the state. This should be considered an upset win if it goes Texas way December 4. OTF hesitates to say Auburn can't win a recruitment in the Peach State for a 5-star DL ... especially when they are motivated. Texas vs. Texas A&M, and maybe Michigan in Cocoa Texas continues to have confidence in the recruitment of 4-star++ EDGE Javion Hilson (Cocoa, Fla./High). With that said, OTF feels like there is one thing that could push Hilson away from Texas late - if he sees a path to playing more snaps early in College Station or Ann Arbor. Hilson is football development focused, and accelerating the development with more game snaps is what is being pitched by Texas' competition. Decision day: December 4 Texas vs. Texas A&M and Oklahoma for 5-star I've been hit on DM with some reports of Texas not being in it for Michael Fasusi, or Texas didn't move the needle. I was told again Tuesday night that Texas helped their chances over the weekend. Kyle Flood's message resonated with Fasusi. With that said, this is a big boy recruiting battle. Texas A&M will continue to take a mighty swing this weekend. OTF is watching which family members make the trip to College Station this weekend. Oklahoma (Brent Venables) told Fasusi that he's not committed if he takes visits ... Fasusi went ahead and took the Texas visit, and will be at A&M this weekend. Decision day: December 4 Texas vs. Nebraska in San Antonio The recruitment of Michael Terry III (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights) remains the same ... Texas leads Nebraska. Not sure how many Texas vs. Nebraska recruitments in San Antonio Texas has ever been engaged in. Decision day: Likely December 4 Texas leads in the Sunshine State OnTexasFootball 4-star linebacker Kellen Wiley (Seffner, Fla./Armwood) continues to be a big lean to the Longhorns. OTF would be surprised if Texas doesn't win out, as of Tuesday night. Decision day: December 4 Wild card west of Chicago The Texas Longhorns getting in very late with Auburn 4-star++ defensive line pledge Nathaniel Marshall (Oak Park, Il./Fenwick) makes this recruitment a total wild card. Auburn remains confident due to relationship with the mom. Michigan also in the mix. NIL a major factor here. Texas. vs. Florida The Florida Gators will not give up on Texas 4-star++ defensive line commit Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla.). Texas continues to feel good, but understands that Florida will keep making a bigger push in the next week. The Gators will also keep after Jaime Ffrench (Jacksonville, Fla./Mandarin). Recruiting has surprised before, but it would be a surprise if Ffrench doesn't ink with Texas.

stfu boomer.

Not necessarily. If Ohio state beats Oregon it would most likely be this: 1 Ohio State 5 Oregon 6 Penn St 7 Texas I Think our max is 2 with SEC championship

These people actually just copy me it’s insane

I am stoked about this

I still think it's best overall for the offense to have the kentucky 1st half approach of balance, especially vs A&M to wear down their front. Their secondary and linebackers are slow so we should be able to use our speed vs them to win matchups.

The balancing tends to happen in second half. There were a string of games where we just passed non stop it seemed like, especially in 1st half. I think Kentucky was the 1st game we seemed pretty damn balanced in the 1st half.

Has there been any follow up from either practice yesterday, today, or post MRI of Quinn? I know Sark said he thinks he's alright but that was before practice. Seems suspiciously quiet on that front.

I've hung out with Jordan Davis a few times due to his wife and my wife having a mutual friend.

Hype over substance IMO.

Why? Hunter isn't a great DB at all....He'll probably be a WR in the league.

What was the reasoning for the Reed love? If you don't mind giving a TL;DW version.

Do you enjoy 360s by our LG?

@immamac Juan Davis getting HIGH praise!

Why? It's not like we're rolling out true freshmen across the board....we're installing guys who have been in the S&C program and have gotten good reps as backups. With that potential starting LT - RS Sophomore(played in 2+ games) - 6'7 315 lbs LG - RS Junior(Played in 5+ games) - 6'4 330 lbs C - Senior(13 starts) - 6'5 310 lbs RG - Senior(20+ starts) - 6'3 330 lbs RT - True Sophomore that was backup RT as a true freshmen - 6'4 315 lbs 1 3rd year player 3 4th year players 1 2nd year player

One thing that is kind of odd about Gerry is how he says Georgia doesn't let talent leave the state....but roughly 2/3 of the top 25 talent in the state leaves every year.

Also on one of the C&F streams Bobby's way to early projected starting 5 next year on OL was: LT Goosby LG Neto C Hutson RG DJ Campbell RT Brandon Baker

Bobby has said that Texas is more than prepared to attack the portal for interior DL. What that means to me is we are going big game hunting with the funds to back it up.

Gerry Hamilton No. 1 ranked class loading? : Yes, no or maybe Signing day is just eight days away, and Steve Sarkisian and staff are deep sea fishing. And that is putting it mildly. Texas currently has 24 commitments, and sitting inside the top 5 class rankings at No. 4. There are six prospects right now that OnTexasFootball is monitoring closely headed into signing day December 4. And any combination of winning three of the six would place Texas No. 2 in the class rankings, with a realistic shot at No. 1. In the latest edition of Yes, maybe or no; OTF believes Texas has three leans right now with two being significant leads. Yes Kellen Wiley, LB, Seffner (Fla.) Armwood OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star The recruitment: Texas is a big leader here. OTF puts it at 80% for the Horns - as of Monday. Michael Terry II, ATH, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ The recruitment: Texas leads Nebraska. Javion Hilson, EDGE, Cocoa (Fla.) High OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ The recruitment: Texas vs. Texas A&M vs. Michigan with a decision December 4. Per a source, Hilson will decide later in the week if he's making the OV to Texas A&M Saturday-Sunday. Cocoa High plays a third round playoff game Friday night. Maybe Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville (Texas) High - Oklahoma commit OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star The recruitment: Oklahoma fighting for their life in this one with Texas having made a push, and Texas A&M set to do the same this weekend. Will Fasusi's mom make the visit this weekend? We shall see. His father and sister made the trip to Texas last weekend. Justus Terry, DL, Manchester (Ga.) High OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star The recruitment: Georgia battling Auburn and Texas. Kirby Smart doesn't want Terry going to Texas, make no mistake. Nathaniel Marshall, DL, Oak Park (Il.) Fenwick OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ The recruitment: Auburn remains confident due to relationship with the mom. Michigan is also in this one. Texas visit went well enough for the Horns to stay engaged. No Dorian Brew, CB, Conroe (Texas) High - *Oregon OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++ The recruitment: A family decision to stay close to Houston very late would have to be the deciding factor. Chace Sims, DL, Richmond (Texas) Randle - *Texas A&M commit OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+ The recruitment: Sims family has shut it down. Chace was open to making a second visit, however.

Then we should be all over Makhi Hughes out of Tulane....

We can have Omarion Hampton? No word on when Baxter or Clark will be back to full game speed.
