Bobby:
“But those offensive linemen aren’t highly ranked.”
“We [insert opposing team here] didn’t really want those players.”
“It wasn’t a head-to-head win.”
“Arch is overrated.”

I’ve heard - and no doubt you’ve heard - the above comments from your friends who root for other schools about this Texas recruiting run.
But a smart man knows exactly what those comments really are. They’re nothing more than envious excuses.
The pledge yesterday of the state’s top receiver Johntay Cook was just more proof that the momentum of this Texas recruiting class is not imaginary. It’s very real. And it’s continuing.
Cook, a senior at DeSoto, caught 19 TD passes on just 38 catches last season. That’s elite level productivity and he ultimately picked the Horns over Michigan and Oregon.
**
Expect Texas to continue its recruiting run this week into next.
This initial surge is not complete.
After that, I’d definitely read Gerry Hamilton’s article this morning as a primer for what comes next.
The Horns are getting ready to be involved in a number of hotly contested recruiting battles not only across the state but also across the country.
Sark and this staff are preparing to swing for the fences. And with the very real momentum they have, I wouldn’t count them out on anyone.-

Nahlin Anthony Hill Jr:
If this is news to you you’re not paying attention, but Denton Ryan‘s Anthony Hill whittled his top schools down to Texas and Texas A&M.
Visual evidence:
He had room for three schools in the edit but left out OU
Recruitniks from both fan bases have sold Texas short throughout the process, but here come the Horns. On the heels of a sensational visit and nearly unheard of momentum, the Texas staff has made up ground rather quickly. But here’s the thing, if this was 2010 Mack Brown recruiting, Hill is exactly the sort of person you’d expect to find his way to Austin.
It’s not 2010 Mack (thankfully) but that sort of recruiting perception is returning to Texas despite Steve Sarkisian going 5-7 in his first year. Landing Arch Manning will do that for you, but these coaches have skins on the wall and can build relationships, too.
One of the truisms for recruiting is great players want to play with great players. Hill, and a few others like Mikal Harrison-Pilot and David Hicks weren’t going to be the first guys in the boat. They want to know who will be in the class with them, and in a perfect world, see a quality product on the field. There’s still skepticism out there with some players, justifiably so. Perhaps not coincidentally, each of those three players is also the son of a high school football coach. But I digress.
UT versus A&M is going to bring out the egos and the idiots, but it should be a ton of fun to cover. All thins being equal, I like UT’s chances.
We’ll let this recruitment breathe a little bit, but late July and August will be fun.-

Gerry Nuggets:
Texas Longhorns Thursday AM recruiting nuggets
Gerry Hamilton•about 3 hours
Article written by:Gerry Hamilton
GHamilton_On3
(Chad Simmons/On3)
The Texas Longhorns begin Thursday with the No. 2 ranked class in the On3 Consensus team rankings.
Texas vaulted to the No. 2 class Wednesday with the commitment of On3 Consensus 4-star wide receiver Johntay Cook II. The Longhorns now have one On3 Consensus 5-star and 10 On3 Consensus 4-stars in the fold with a number of top targets remaining.
Inside Texas dives into the latest this morning.
Texas and 5-star Duce Robinson
On3’s Chad Simmons reported from Los Angeles that On3 Consensus 5-star tight end Duce Robinson will make an official visit to Texas September 10. The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder has been in communication with Arch Manning, and Texas tight ends coach Jeff Banks. USC is considered the favorite over Texas, Alabama and Georgia headed into the fall official visits. This is a recruit through the whistle, cherry on top scenario.
Texas top targets remaining
The Longhorns are swinging for the fences in the 2023 class with the momentum building. Inside Texas will give thoughts on percentages on many of the remaining targets later this morning. But here is a snap shot of the most wanted remaining with the On3 Consensus ranking featured.
To answer the question, Texas is certainly now in play for the No. 1 ranked class in the 2023 cycle.
No. 7 DL David Hicks, Katy (Texas) Paetow – On3 Consensus 5-star
No. 13 S Caleb Downs, Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek – On3 Consensus 5-star
No. 14 LB Anthony Hill, Denton (Texas) Ryan – On3 Consensus 5-star
No. 17 TE Duce Robinson, Phoenix (Az.) Pinnacle – On3 Consensus 5-star
No. 28 S/N Javien Toviano, Arlington (Texas) Martin
No. 43 RB Cedric Baxter Jr., Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater
No. 50 CB Malik Muhammad, Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff
No. 62 WR Jaquaize Pettaway, Houston (Texas) Langham Creek
No. 71 EDGE Tausili Akana, Kahuku (Hi.) Skyridge
No. 76 WR Jalen Hale, Longview (Texas) High
No. 88 DL/IOL Markis Deal, Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest
No. 108 DL Hunter Osborne, Trussville (Ala.) Hewitt-Trussville
No. 121 EDGE/LB Derion Gullette, Teague (Texas) High
No. 126 WR Jaden Greathouse, Austin (Texas) Westlake
No. 131 CB Jordan Matthews, Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn
No. 151 WR Mikal Harrison-Pilot, Temple (Texas) High
No. 179 OT Miles McVay, East St. Louis (Ill.) High
No. 183 EDGE Colton Vasek, Austin (Texas) Westlake
No. 186 EDGE Braylan Shelby, Friendswood (Texas) High
No. 265 DL Jamarious Brown, Moss Point (Miss.) High
No. 279 DL Terrance Green, Cypress (Texas) Cy Woods
No. 321 DL Sydir Mitchell, Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic
Defensive line update
Inside Texas broke the news the last two days that On3 Consensus 4-star defensive lineman Markis Deal and Terrance Green were scheduled to be in Austin July 28 weekend. The Longhorns chances are better with the 6-foot-5, 275-pound Green currently. And Green is likely to make a decision sooner than Deal, who wants to make a pair of fall official visits to Georgia and Texas.
Don’t sleep on Texas’ offer Wednesday to Jamarious Brown out of Mississippi. This is a prospect that has a very high ceiling in the mold of Kristopher Ross in the 2022 cycle, but much more raw. The one thing that could knock Brown out is a decision earlier than expected by On3 Consensus 4-star Hunter Osborne. Osborne is expected to decide out of Tennessee, Texas and Clemson in August, currently. Inside Texas broke the news last night that Brown is scheduled to visit the last weekend in July.
Make no mistake, On3 Consensus 4-star Sydir Mitchell is a very high priority. Texas is working overtime on this one to beat out Texas A&M and Georgia. The communication has been strong this week.
Texas and Cedric Baxter Jr.
Northing has changed on my end. The On3 RPM pick stands with Tashard Choice having a very tight bond with the On300 No. 1 ranked running back in the country.

Justin Wells:
Inside Texas looks at the latest from Anthony Hill Jr, David Hicks Jr, Jordan Matthews, Colton Vasek, and Jasiah Wagoner for you Wednesday recruiting intel from the Forty Acres.
Anthony Hill Jr, LB, Denton (Texas) Ryan: The On3 Consensus five-star dropped his top two list this evening with Texas and Texas A&M making the final cut.
Fresh off his official visit to Texas last weekend, the Hill family was very complimentary of the Longhorns staff and trip. When Cooper Manning, father of Texas commit Arch Manning is texting you during your trip,” We want Anthony Hill,” it can have a strong influence.
Hill Jr will still take his official to Texas A&M in late July for its BBQ event. Then we anticipate a decision not too long after, or as Anthony Hill Sr tells Inside Texas it’ll be go time.
David Hicks Jr, DL, Katy (Texas) Paetow:
On3′ top-rated prospect in Texas for 2023 is dropping a top 7 list on Friday. Sources close to the recruitment indicate Texas will be on that list.
Texas A&M is the likely leader today, and after taking Katy Paetow teammate, LB Daymion Sanford, this week the Aggies have potentially positioned themselves even better.
But the Horns hold a new variable; the post-Arch effect. Since last Thursday, you can’t rule anything or anyone out for the Longhorns this cycle.
Bo Davis and Jeff Banks continue to push for the five-star’s services, but getting him back on campus would be the only indication of progress in this pursuit.
Colton Vasek, EDGE, Austin (Texas) Westlake:
We’re hearing it’s down to two schools – Texas and Oregon – for the 6-foot-6, 225-pound Longhorn legacy. His father, Brian Vasek, played defensive line for the Horns and coaches him at Westlake 15 miles from UT’s campus.
One source indicated he felt that the hometown Horns are in a good position following his official visit three weeks ago. Another stated leaving the state might be his preference, but that was pre-Arch pledge. Again, Manning is a new variable in addition to the ever-growing class and can’t be overstated.
His timeline is up in the air right now, but we wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up at the Texas BBQ gathering in late July.
Jordan Matthews, CB, Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn:
This is the definition of a fluid recruitment. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound On3 four-star recently took officials to Stanford, Michigan, and Tennessee. As we wrote yesterday, his final two official trips will be Alabama in week one and Texas in week two.
Last night, UT quarterback pledge Arch Manning reached out to the Texas corner target and has his ear and attention. Derek Williams called Matthews multiple times over the last few days as well, so the #BootUp bunch is doing their part for their region.
He’ll likely be back in Austin for the late July BBQ, but his timeline could be adjusted. He originally preferred a summer commitment and still could follow that timeline, especially with the way UT’s 2023 class is filling up. He’s also contemplating a decision in September after his last two officials because the Alabama offer slightly shook up his recruitment. Nick Saban tends to have that effect.
Again, at the rate #AllGas23 is loading up, Matthews might have to stick to that original pledge decision. A fluid recruitment, indeed.
Jasiah Wagoner, CB Spanaway (Wa.) Spanaway Lake:
The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Pacific Northwest prospect included Texas in his top four yesterday, along with Oregon, OU, and Cal.
Wagoner visited Austin recently with his Heir Football group and enjoyed the atmosphere and environment. But we don’t think Texas is pushing at this point.
With eyes on Malik Muhammad, Jordan Matthews, and Javien Toviano, Wagoner is likely looking from the outside.

There is no 25 man rule this year....might take 35 +/- 3 and purge roster more.
