Nahlin - Casey by Case June Strategy:
We are close to having very good clarity on UT’s big board. June fact patterns will tell us a lot as kids visit their top schools. Here I’ll go into how I view the strategy behind each visitor. Of course my view is with the benefit of inside info and round table discussions with Justin and Gerry.
Official visits
June 10-12
Cedric Baxter, RB, Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater: This is the long game no matter how you split it, and you can expect Texas to have a seat at the table even if he reduces his list to three schools. Getting him in early seems counterintuitive but game day visits are much more hectic, and so too will be the following official visit weekend. Show him the stadium named after two Heisman winning running backs. Have him spend quality time with Bijan Robinson and learn in detail what it’s like to be the unofficial student body president. Texas will need to get a good understanding of whether or not it’s realistic to land Baxter, or if they need to pivot towards an all hands on deck approach to Rueben Owens.
Spencer Shannon, TE, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei: They’ve offered a handful of tight ends recently, even though they can land both Shannon and Will Randle. I’m curious myself to see the long term strategy at Jeff Banks’ position.
June 14-16
Colton Vasek, EDGE, Austin (Texas) Westlake: The midweek official visit rarely works out but that’s a good approach if you want to be able to make up ground in a recruitment. A visit in the middle of the week will allow Vasek to watch workouts.
June 17-19
Arch Manning, New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman: Originally the staff was hoping to have Manning in on the final weekend of the month but due to the Manning Passing Academy that wasn’t doable. This could potentially work out better. Texas would benefit from fellow recruits on visits this weekend to get the feeling Arch will end up at Texas. Confidence is the highest it has been in favor of Texas since this recruitment took off a year ago.
Jaquaize Pettaway, WR, Houston (Texas) Langham Creek: Oklahoma is a real threat so they need a big weekend. It was interesting when earlier in the spring Pettaway said he wasn’t being recruited much by people like Xavier Worthy or that he hadn’t been in touch with Manning. Since then he has talked with Manning. This is the perfect weekend for Pettaway to visit. He’ll see how down to earth the five-star is and I believe that will appeal to him.
Will Randle, TE, New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman: I’m mildly surprised he isn’t committed yet.
My’Keil Gardner, DL, Peioria (Ariz.) Liberty: Texas got out of the gates pretty good in this recruitment but then Oregon took control. They needed to get Gardner on campus ASAP to try and make up ground.
Sydir Mitchell, DL, Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic: This visit will be about taking your best shot and trying to hang around the rim in the event things break UT’s way this season. Georgia is the favorite.
Hunter Osborne, EDGE, Trussville (Ala.) Hewitt-Trussville: We had Osborne on offer watch last summer and it didn’t materialize. From that standpoint, there may be ground to make up. The flip side of that is, maybe they knew they could wait. Osborne and true freshman early enrollee Justice Finkley are close. Who better to chaperone?
Tony Mitchell, S, Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson: It’s fun to force your foes to play defense.
Mikal Harrison-Pilot, WR, Temple (Texas): From a recruiting standpoint he’s wide receiver specific and UT will have some ground to make up. Having him in with Arch makes sense — those two have similar personalities. OU leads.
June 24-26
Ryan Niblett, WR, Aldine (Texas) Eisenhower: Just ensure he’s firmly committed.
Jaden Greathouse, WR, Austin (Texas) Westlake: This might be the last chance for Texas to keep Greathouse close to home. They’ll need to make a compelling pitch regarding scheme. Notre Dame is the team to beat.
Kyle Parker, WR, Lucas (Texas) Lovejoy: It’s hard to see Parker in the class, even though he has some of the most dynamic tape at the position this cycle. LSU just offered. Before that Penn State was the most likely destination. Strategy here is to retain optionality as long as possible. That’s tough to do in this day and age.
Andre Cojoe, OL. Mansfield (Texas) Summit: More
Connor Stroh, OL, Frisco (Texas) Wakeland: O-line
Jaydon Chatman, OL, Harker Heights (Texas): Consensus
Ian Reed, OL, Austin (Texas) Vandegrift: Building
It’s maybe a bit unfortunate the four offensive lineman won’t be in at the same time as Arch, but they just hung out with him in late March. These players will have a firm grip on UT’s positioning with Arch, and therefore a firm grip on class trajectory.
Ansel Nedore, DL, Round Rock (Texas): Nedore hasn’t been super responsive to schools recruiting him. They’ll want to get an understanding of why that is.
Avion Carter, DL, Amarillo (Texas) Tascosa: Carter’s another talented player the staff will want to get to know much better. Official visits for both Nedore and Carter are going to help determine how big of a need they are. Numbers on the D-line aren’t as big as they were last cycle.
Derion Gullette, LB/EDGE, Marlin (Texas): This official visit is all about cementing UT’s standing as the likely team to beat heading into July, August, and potential decision before his senior season.
Braylan Shelby, EDGE, Friendswood (Texas): Another chance to get the final word before the dead period. Texas needs to hold off USC and play up proximity.
Blake Purchase, EDGE, Englewood (Colo.) Cherry Creek: The kid has good tape but they’ll want to get to know him better and see if he fits in the class numbers-wise. They went after Billy Walton fairly aggressively, so an all out push for Purchase wouldn’t be a total surprise.
S’Maje Burrell, LB, Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley: Former A&M linebacker and all around good guy Donnie Bragg watched Burrell at a camp and immediately hit me up stating the kid can move, but what really stands out his is leadership. “That kid is going to be a hell of a recruiter, too.” Pair him with Anthony Hill.
Anthony Hill, LB, Denton (Texas) Ryan: Texas is going to be in a dogfight with the usual suspects for Hill. They need to be on equal footing when it comes to his personal preference based on relationships, the players he wants to sign with, and perceived program trajectory.
Makari Vickers, S, Tallahassee (Fla.) John Paul II Catholic: Texas will want the last word heading into the dead period, and immediately after his Alabama official visit. If Bama doesn’t push, we like UT’s chances. If Bama does push, it helps with Derek Williams.
Derek Williams, S, New Iberia (La.) Westgate: This will be a late decision but momentum in Louisiana this summer is there for the taking. On numerous occasions Williams and his mother have already proven their willingness to visit Austin, so it’s likely they’ll return once again during the season which means this allows UT to get two more cracks at the highly-rated pure safety. Williams is a prospect where the holistic university pitch will resonate, so a non-game weekend makes sense in that regard.
Jayden Bonsu, S, Hillside (N.J.) St. Peter’s Prep: Texas needs to get him on campus ASAP to try and make up ground on Ohio State. Bonsu is a bit of a long shot, but Ohio State does have to safeties committed while Texas has none. UT also has some good ties at his school. That helps a coaching staff figure out what makes a player a good program fit and approaching the recruitment with that in mind.-

if Ewers does not start Game 1 Sark has fucked up massively. Card is who we think he is at this point.
Card could get better, but how often do dudes who shit the bed as bad as he did last year pull it together and be above average starting quality QBs?
Ewers has a much higher ceiling that Card and at this point, idk if he could have a lower floor than Card.
During his tour of the state in SA/Houston/Dallas he mentioned at one of the stops that he'd like to have a starter sooner than last year. I think the summer rule changes will only push that decision up.

Each school is allotted 56 official during that year's recruiting period. If I counted right, that's 29 of the 56 right there.
They're not fucking around with the June period. They will have a complete story about how players at Texas benefit from NIL more than anywhere else, without making anything specific for any recruit. Let's see how it goes.
I heard Brian Kelly in an interview this weekend say that the first thing a visitor asks when they sit down with coaches at LSU these days is "tell me about how your NIL program works."
I assume this pitch be night and day vs the NIL stuff we were pitching last summer? Glad Sark learned some valuable lessons last summer, hopefully we can do better in the season.

We aren't getting to the QB regardless of scheme.
If the 3-3-5 allows us to play more soundly against the run, get teams behind the chains more consistently and set up for situational pass rush situations where we can get some of our 'better' pass rushers on the field together, then we that's the direction we need to go.
Agree with this, if we aren't getting to the QB then we definitely need to stop the run. Can't have shit like last year again.

run a 10-1!

Sam Spiegelman on Jordan Matthews:
Four-star Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn cornerback Jordan Matthews was en route to his first official visit to Ann Arbor when he picked up a long-awaited offer from Clemson. Much like his recruitment, there have been plenty of nuances for Matthews of late.
Sources close to the On300 cornerback gave positive reviews of Matthews’ time in Michigan over the weekend. One well-informed source told On3 that the Wolverines are now “a top-three” team for Matthews along with Texas and Tennessee. Currently, the Longhorns are leading the way for the standout Louisiana defensive back on the On3 Recruiting Prediction by a significant margin.
Texas has undoubtedly been the most consistent team pursuing Matthews since he was an underclassman. Terry Joseph has refused to take his foot off the gas and has gotten the four-star cornerback to The Forty Acres as much or more than any campus to date. Sources point to Tennessee, however, as the team that has started to “push the hardest” this spring and summer. Matthews is currently putting together plans to make his first trip to Knoxville this summer — likely for an official visit.
There are three schools squarely at the top for Matthews as June arrives, but still no timeline in place for a decision. Matthews will graduate in December but has no precise timeline in place at the moment. Part of the laid-back approach is due to the handful of teams that are still hanging around in his recruitment, including Stanford, Alabama, LSU and now Clemson.
Clemson has ground to make up with Matthews, but the offer is definitely noteworthy, sources tell On3. Stanford may be a bigger threat and the On3 Consensus’ No. 14-ranked cornerback should know more in that department in August.
Additionally, Alabama has been coming on strong with Matthews in recent weeks after watching him in the Woodlawn spring game. The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder boasts speed, length and instincts, and is coming off a very strong track season, which has the Tide taking a closer look at the Louisiana standout. An offer from the Tide would certainly shake up his recruitment, sources suggest. One other X-factor moving forward is LSU. The Tigers have fallen behind schools like Texas, Michigan and Tennessee in recent months, but are bracing to make a strong push for the legacy recruit, sources tell On3.
In other words, things may be picking up in a big way for Matthews, the No. 140 overall player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

IT Scoop:
By: Justin, Gerry, and Eric
Team notes
These brief notes stem from last week, we just caught up with a couple different sources.
— True freshman Brenen Thompson showed good hands in 7 on 7. On one route he elevated and had a hard landing but maintained possession. We know his speed will translate, and so too will his toughness, but we continue hearing about good route running and hands he’s going to be an excellent college receiver.
— Agiye Hall demonstrated his speed and talent. Like our Thompson report from Friday, he’s been doing damage on crossing routes. I seem to recall him making a big gain in the National Championship on one. Fellow transfer Tarique Milton is participating in workouts but we haven’t heard anything specific on him yet.
— Any early differences between this year and last year? “Team mentality. It’s a closer team with more accountability. People were willing to do whatever the coaches told them last year, but some would complain and that would influence others. They would go along with the program but weren’t necessarily bought in. There isn‘t any of that this year.” This quote harkens back to Ben Davis dotting a player who complaining too much about the coaches.
[That’s a reminder of the coaches making it very clear in the recruiting process that they’re going to coach hard. Especially in the age of NIL they don’t want players committing for the wrong reasons. This will sometimes manifest with the coaches not recruiting a player as hard as other schools]
— Any other differences? “Overall talent, especially in the wide receiver room. This team is very talented at receiver and of course running back.”
— How have the QB’s looked? “They’re making some nice throws, but it’s just 7 on 7 and the quarterbacks and receivers have the advantage right now.“
— This week’s schedule is the same as last week: M-W-F run and lift. T-TH full day of classroom, field work, and workouts.-

Gerry on his RPM:
The Texas Longhorns are in search of back-to-back top 5 recruiting classes under Steve Sarkisian. One of the keys to building the momentum to achieve the goal is winning in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
I’ve logged a new On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick for the Longhorns to land a commitment from wide receiver Johntay Cook II. There have been multiple sources with close ties to the On3 Consensus 4-star relay that Cook continues to be a heavy lean to Texas with a decision inching closer and closer.
Cook, the nation’s No. 36 overall player in the country in the On300, made an official visit to Ole Miss over the weekend with Michigan scheduled for June 20-22. The possibility remains that Cook will also make his way to Austin June 17-19 when No. 1 overall Arch Manning makes his official visit to Texas. A June official visit to Oregon is also in play. Texas A&M also remains in the mix for the talented route runner with high-end footwork.
Cook is the No. 47 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus. The On3 Consensus is a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 8 wide receiver, and the No. 7 junior in the state of Texas.
Johntay Cook II scouting summary:
Smooth-moving receiver who is one of the better route-runners in the 2023 cycle. Shows the ability to tempo and toggle speeds within his routes. Can win at all levels of the field. Has long arms with a 6-foot-4 wing-span at 5-foot-11.5. The length helps create a large catch radius. Productive and efficient as a junior while facing top competition at one of the top talent-producing high school programs in Texas. Scored 18 touchdowns on just 38 receptions as a junior. Will need to continue improving on his reliability as a pass-catcher and eliminate concentration drops.

And let AH get away dragging out production of her devices and other tech and really limited what the tech experts could say.
In my view she was pretty "even" or potentially shaded a bit towards AH, but that couldn't override a bad case and less than stellar attorneys.
I’m not so sure the attorneys for Turd we’re so bad. I think Turd was a turd of a client. But idk

NIL and getting drafted all rely on one thing, that is being highly productive. Individual goals don’t have to conflict with team goals, they can align nicely. I’ll bet most Bama kids have the same goal. Get drafted early and grab some NIL, that is goal for the vast majority of blue blood recruits. Every player wants to win. I don’t care what the source of the motivation is, just that they have the drive to get it. Being lazy and expecting big NIL checks and to be drafted has been the problem. It isn’t being solely focused on goals. Even Quandre said that. He said when he was at Texas the goal was to get to league as fast as possible and get some cash. He thought too many were worried about the nonsense. It’s how dedicated you are to your goals that really matter
Maybe all that and what imma said is why we've sucked shit for the past 12 years.

Another moronic argument from you.
1 school has been winning Director's Cup titles (Stanford). Imagine thinking 1 school is a large enough sample to conclude that because you win the Director's Cup that means you can't win in football.
Jesus, are you really this stupid?
2 schools, both never won a title in football while winning a directors cup.
