Pretty stunning lack of recruiting coverage the last several days from IT given that the coaches are out visiting prospects.

If Zina didnt have a brother already on campus would Texas really be recruiting him?

Cruz, Saina, Ory Williams and one of Brandon Baker, Calhoun and Carter looks like the most likely class right now

Portal DT Texas may be after. HM All Big10 and lead them in snaps last season Likely only plays 1-2 more years but has 3 more years of eligibility

Basically this. Aggy weakness and strength is that they are a cult herd who does whatever their (yell) master tells them

Thank you for all do you for UT NIL. Seriously Also, please refrain from posting facts. I am trying to piss people off into hate donating to beat aggy

Just stole my dad's debit card. Someone give me Jordan Hudson's Venmo

Is this real

Appreciate the response and hope I end up being right about the in state EDGE and WR list of prospects providing a lot of real difference makers. I get with all of this there is a huge range of outcomes we cant even consider/predict this early on. The board in September will look comically different from now Good to hear the news on January. Watching him play baseball is hilarious I think it is interesting and not at all a coincidence that from the graphic BE posted, the 2023 and 2019 classes are both the lowest in terms of OOS % but also 2 of the higher classes in terms of composite rankings and avg recruit ranking. It's great news Sark and this staff are built to recruit OOS Hook 'Em

1. Simmons, Zina, Brinkley, C. Mitchell, Edward Smith, Loghan Thomas, Brock Jackson. That's seven and imo Simmons/Zina/Brinkley/Thomas can play pretty much anywhere. That's pretty good. 2. I think we are largely saying the same thing on the OL in state class. There isnt a lot here and even less than 2023, which I thought was a meh class behind the top 3/4 guys. But Flood is a great OL coach and has been recruiting the position nationally for a while. I'm not worried about him getting some guys who are up to snuff 3. Yeah it pretty much does. DT and LB are the worst position group year in year out. At least TXHSFB produces athletes who can play LB but just dont play the position in HS 2023- 2 top 200 consensus DTs, 2022- 3, 2021- 3. So in any given year you generally get 3-4 guys in state who are DT takes. This past year it was Bowens, Hicks and Deal (who is best as a guard and a JAG as a DT). We passed on Green and imo should've prioritized Etta. This cycle Smith, Evans, and maybe January are all good enough to be takes. So yeah a little worse than usual but Bo Davis, Choice, Joseph eta are already recruiting the deep south for big bodies anyway 4. Currently on ON3 there are 5 TXHSFB DBs ranked in the top 53....11 in the top 200. DB is really strong this year (like it is every year in TX to be fair). And I'm not even counting a few athletes who have a good chance to play DB instead of WR in college who are also pretty good. The top 4/5 WRs this year have an argument for a higher ceiling than any WR in the 2023 cllass. Without a doubt Hudson, Miller and Kearney do. Guys like Baker, Weston, Dubose and Lil Ezukuma behind them are also all really exciting, athletic and have good length which we need more of in the room 5. This is my real problem with your original post. You posted dooming and made it sound like because the in-state class is down at certain positions it will be hard for us to have a top 10 class. That's not really the case it will be hard for us to have a top 10 class if Sark sucks.. but if Sark suck this year he is GONE. The rest of it, recruiting, portals whatever is a wash. Sark doesnt win at least 8, (imo 9) games next year the Steve Sarkisian era is essentially over at Texas

Gonna post another response to this later but yeah.... if Texas doesnt win 9 games next year, let alone 7/6, most of the fanbase will want Sark fired forget about recruits. If Texas has a shit season, it doesnt matter if there were 20 5 stars in state, none of them would be coming here to play for a lame duck coach

oh dang, if so my bad

1. This is the best EDGE class in state in years. Legit at least six guys who are takes at the position. That almost never happens in the state of Texas 2. Uini, Cruz, and Casey Poe and the rest is meh in state. Flood will get his guys though, not worried about that 3. DT in state also always sucks. That's why we got Bo Davis and Terry Joseph to recruit Louisiana and the deep south. Choice will be helpful in Florida 4. WR and DB is very very good this year. Much better than last year, especially at WR 5. Top 15ish? WTF are you talking about? Sark just stacked two top 3 classes together. Even the transition class was ranked 15th. A blind monkey can recruit a top 10 class at Texas. As long as we win on the field, this class will be top 5.
