I am bitching about BOW making a dumb post that includes Texas getting as many 5* as the highest rated recruiting class of all time (A&M last year had 8 5*) and includes a ton of reaches, 3 TEs, 6 WR, zero turnover from the 17 committed, zero trap dooring and is too sunny for even Looch to ever try to get past his rube subscribers about "best case" for the upcoming class.
Texas could win the National Championship, have the #1 class in the country by far and still fall way short of getting 13 of the top 60 players in the country and 8 5*.
Cry harder bitch.

Your baseball takes are as bad as your football ones. He’s not here to be head coach. He’s gonna be our hitting coach. Baylor was a pretty good hitting squad under him and he’s got west coast connections for recruiting. Pierce is going all Saban. Hiring former head coaches as assistants. I love it
Similar personality to Pierce and players at baylor didn't care for him.....rumors of turmoil in the Texas locker room this year as well....adding another coach that players may not care for isn't a good recipe.

Texas Longhorns: Ten most wanted
Gerry Hamilton•7 minutes
Article written by:Gerry Hamilton

Anthony Hill Jr. (Justin Wells/Inside Texas)
The Texas Longhorns enter Friday with the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the On3 Consensus team rankings.
Steve Sarkisian and staff currently sit at 17 commitments with the possibility of more on the way in the next few days. The Longhorns are loading up on the offensive side of the ball with Arch Manning in the fold, as expected. Texas is now firmly zeroed in on filling needs on the defensive side of the ball, which includes defensive tackle, finishing up at linebacker, edge rush prospects and the defensive backfield.
Inside Texas takes a swing at the ten most wanted, with the understanding that there are at least 15 prospects that are currently realistic possibilities for the staff.
Cedric Baxter Jr.
The No. 1 ranked running back in the On300 Cedric Baxter Jr. will announce his decision August 10. The Longhorns continue to be the heavy favorite in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine for the 6-foot-1, 217-pound versatile back. Tashard Choice has the best position coach relationship with the Sunshine State star.
Anthony Hill
On3 Consensus 5-star linebacker Anthony Hill is down to Texas and Texas A&M with a decision expected prior to the start of the 2022 season. This is a true bloodbath recruitment, and one that has begun trending the way of the Longhorns.
Malik Muhammad
The No. 50 ranked prospect Malik Muhammad released a final three of Texas, Texas A&M and Alabama Thursday night. The Longhorns have been trending in the last two weeks with Texas A&M putting up a strong fight. Similar to Johntay Cook II, this is a huge recruitment for the Longhorns on the field and off. Muhammad is fully of engaging personality that resonates with prospects in 2023, and beyond. Texas winning big in DFW would be one of the many storylines to come out of the 2023 haul.
Sydir Mitchell
On3 Consensus 4-star Sydir Mitchell is expected to announce his decision in the next few days, and possibly Sunday. Entered an On3 RPM prediction for Mitchell to Texas at 70% last night, and don’t plan on changing that. Texas and Georgia had lengthy conversations with Mitchell and circle Thursday. Miami has not given up with Kevin Steele giving max effort. Texas A&M was the fourth in contention.
Derion Gullette
Derion Gullette continues to be a lean to Texas. Inside Texas has learned nothing different in that regard in the last week. Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Ohio State remain in the mix with close to home always thought to be the long term winner. Texas has been prioritizing Gullette and family for months.
Jaden Greathouse
The No. 126 ranked prospect in the On3 Consensus Jaden Greathouse is coveted by the Texas staff. He’s a winner, a playmaker and the type pf player that greatly helps in elevating a program on a daily basis. He has a spot until December, as of today.
Javien Toviano
On3 Consensus No. 28 Javien Toviano is recruitment that is nearly impossible to get a consistent read on. Texas A&M, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan and Texas are in the hunt. The Arch Manning effect is a factor here. With that said, Toviano isn’t likely to make an emotional decision at the end of the day. The winner of this recruitment gets a very intelligent, mature student athlete.
David Hicks
On3 Consensus 5-star David Hicks will be a fascinating recruiting battle down the stretch. The No. 7 ranked prospect in the On3 Consensus has been a heavy lean to Texas A&M and Oklahoma for months. The communication has been solid since the commitment of Arch Manning. Texas will receive an official visit prior to a January 3 announcement. Could Texas run out of room? Not out of the question.
Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby remains a battle with USC with Texas having been slightly trending since the June 24 official visit. The No. 186 ranked prospect in the On3 Consensus really does love Los Angeles, and the thought of playing at USC and living on the West Coast for college. Texas has close to home, recruiting class momentum and months of prioritizing Shelby in their corner.
Jordan Matthews
Jordan Matthews is scheduled to be back on campus at Texas the last weekend of July. Texas and Alabama are considered the favorites to land the No. 131 ranked prospect in the On3 Consensus. Both programs will likely receive fall officials, if the recruitment plays out that long. Tennessee and Michigan received June official visits. LSU remains on the list.
Five more coveted
This list could have easily been expanded to 15. Any combination of the 15 prospects would be gladly accepted by the Texas staff.
No. 71 EDGE Tausili Akana, Kahuku (Hawaii) Skyridge
No. 151 WR Mikal Harrison-Pilot, Temple (Texas) High
No. 183 EDGE Colton Vasek, Austin (Texas) Westlake
No. 265 DL Jamarious Brown, Moss Point (Miss.) High
No. 279 DL Terrance Green, Cypress (Texas) Cy Woods
Wild cards
No. 17 TE Duce Robinson, Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle – On3 Consensus five-star
No. 13 S Caleb Downs, Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek – On3 Consensus five-star
No. 62 WR Jaquaize Pettaway, Houston (Texas) Langham Creek
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. 179 OT Miles McVay, East St. Louis (Ill.) High

So, I work on the academic side of a lot of these schools as part of my day job. Other than a few of the BIGGEST programs, the amount of money a R1 brings in through research grants dwarfs the sports money. And in conference collaborations can multiply that effect. We think of ISU as Iowa Aggie, but it’s actually rich AF because of its collaborations with Ames National Lab.
The B1G is obsessed with R1 AAU schools. They are still salty AF about Nebraska losing their status.
Also, Oregon brings one Knight, Phillip and his corporate interests to the table.
I'm interested to see what direction Oregon goes from here.

Likely transfers and/or players that could be processed:Hudson Card (if he loses the starting job)
Casey Cain
Troy Omeire
Jaden Alexis
Brayden Liebrock
Max Merril
Isaiah Hookfin
Sawyer-Goram Welch
Vernon Broughton
Prince Dobrah
JD Coffey
These guys have already been recruited over and if we sign a class of 30 plus there are a few others that will get recruited over as well.Sarkisian already said the medical retirement process has begun for Hookfin since his accident.
IMO Card is gone once he finishes his McCombs degree.
The rest aside from Coffey are obvious calls.

Notre Dame is going to be interesting to monitor. Especially if the rumors are true about new leadership at the top happens.....the new landscape they'll have to join a conference IMO.
If you're a conference and have the following team in your conference you should be worried:
OregonFlorida State
Miami
Clemson

“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. -
