Both Winfield and Gilbeau were and will be processed out. I think we’ll probably see the same with that Swanson kid and Trevell Johnson.
When the new staff came in board, I remember reading that they would keep Gilbeau since he was already committed but they had guys higher on their board. The fact that Winfield is flipping to Michigan State should tell you enough about where he is on the pecking order. None of the regional schools are recruiting him. I don’t see him ever making an impact in this offense and the coaches probably see the same.
I’m purely speculating on the Swanson kid but with our current DL haul and if we win this ou game, the phone is going to be ringing and there’s only going to be so many spots. Sark knows what he’s doing. He has a floor for the class and they won’t be shy about upgrading talent if that opportunity presents itself. I think the social media movement for Evan Stewart is two fold. They want to close while we have momentum. Even if Stewart doesn’t sign here, he’s loving the attention and right now they are probably trying to implant the recruiting perception that Texas is in a better situation going into the SEC than aggy, LSU. We have one of the best, if not the best play callers, in the country…. A coaching staff second to none on the country (outside of Andre Coleman I’m my opinion), and a badass city. If you’re a recruit, do you want to bet your future on the Ogre or on aggy ( who is getting the curtains pulled on their flaws right now).
If we win this game, and if we can get Arch on board…. We’re going to have top 3 recruiting classes in 2022 and 2023.
