Damn right they are.

First off, he's one of those guys where it looks like the film is sped up just for him. He's shifty as hell and consistently outruns guys with good angles on him. Secondly, he's got the VY / Uncle Rico throwing motion down pat. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, whoever edited his video and added the "secret sauce" and "show out" and "showtime" player arrows deserves an Oscar. That's about a 97% on the recruiting film rotten tomato-meter.

These are always fun, so decided to give it a try...

On this day in Texas Recruiting Notes 2019:

Just kidding, it didn't exist yet. The Shagpocalypse, The Great Migration, and The Boycott of The Eskimo Hut had not yet occurred. The current incarnation of the 2019 thread that we know and love was born on March 25, 2018.  7 weeks to go until that anniversary and 2020 already has 117 pages up. The trek to 1000 continues...

So now that the 2019 classes are finished across the nation, anyone care to make some predictions for 2020 on this thread? 

Top 5 for 2020:

(in no order)

Bama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Clemson

Surprise Class on the positive? North Carolina - it's deep in-state and Mack Brown has a good recruiting staff. On top of that he's energized and hitting the area hard already. 

Surprise Class on the negative? Michigan - In spite of everything with Meyer, I still think Harbaugh's staff turnover and personal flaws are going to limit Michigan ascending.

OU rank: Top 10 with more Mackovickian lopsided offensive talent vs defensive talent.

ATM rank: Top 15 with smaller numbers and less new car smell.

Total number in Texas' class: 24 - I've been passing on the premise of less than 20 and I can't make the numbers believable to myself at this point. Hudson and Brown not being in the program makes the starting point something like 19 available scholarships, so losing another 5 for various reasons over the next 18 months seems not just logical but probable. Of course, if they're viewing the transfer portal as a place where they're going to add 2-3 guys each year that have multiple years of eligibility left, then that might continue to push numbers below 25 if the program remains stable.

"OU rank: Top 10 with more Mackovickian lopsided offensive talent vs defensive talent."

 

Agree overall with this exception..  I think Lincoln actually gets the need for D and works to get one.

After the Evans no-show to the Aggy super bowl party extravaganza, I can confirm that Evans bro continues to not be enamored with the aggies . He clicked the like button on a retweet that asked “what kind of cult shit is this?” to a video of a bizarro milkman dance.

In summary, advantage aggy.

So for these in-state kids, an offer is actually an offer, yes? Whereas for out of state guys it's often more an invitation to come camp and be evaluated? Or is it a bit more murky than that?

edit: Was I incepted into using the word "murky" to describe the situation by other thread? Almost certainly

A offer is just an offer unless it’s not

Wish we'd give Brayden Thomas a look as QB2, but he's a skinny kid so that's more homerism on my part than realism. 247 actually has him ahead of King, who I also really like, at 62 instate with an offer from Ole Miss. He had shoulder surgery before junior season and battled through it but was lights out as a freshman and sophomore.

He's better than Ken Seals

Not really. The staff is just more emboldened to throw out offers to the OOS guys because they don't have to worry about pissing off the Texas HS coaches.

LSU has commitments from a pair of 2020 four-star quarterbacks, according to the 247Sports Composite, in Max Johnson from Georgia and in-state recruit TJ Finley. However, Haynes King from Longview, is a player who has been on the Tigers' radar for months and an offer is not too surprising. King has gotten offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, TCU, Tennessee, Houston, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, North Texas, Texas State, Tulsa, and ULM at the FBS level. He also has an FCS offer from Stephen F. Austin State. King most recently took a junior day visit to TCU on Jan. 26.

In two seasons, King has thrown for 5,984 yards, 67 TD's, and 12 INT's. He has rushed for 902 yards and 10 scores on 9.1 yards per carry and is a true dual-threat option as he's considered one of the fastest players on Longview's roster, which is certainly not lacking in overall team speed. Longview's 2018 state title is the first for the Lobos since 1937, a surprising statistic given the consistently competitive nature of the program over the years. King's father is John King, who has led Longview to a 168-36 record in his 15 seasons as head coach. He is originally from Springhill, La., and played offensive line at Northwestern State.

Just talked to my dad, a former coach at Longview, who said Tennessee should probably be considered the favorite for King at this time.  Not sure how plugged in he is, but thought it was worth sharing.

Obviously.  But they have 2 QBs committed and don’t exactly have a good rep for developing QBs.  I’m no insider but I’m willing pass along anything I hear, not really a point with debating the info.

Absolutely great evaluation on Christian Jones by this staff.  Not only a great evaluation, great development by Yancy and company.  Jones was a soccer player that just continued to grow.  He has insane athleticism.  Now with the added weight and a year in the program, I expect him to get better with every practice.

You know the minute aggy wins their first game against us, they will back out of the series to hold eternal scoreboard.  We really don’t need to play them.  If we make a play off run this year, they will beg us to play them so they can stay relevant.  Those assholes had a 10 year window to take the state and by pass us and the best they could muster was a cotton bowl win.  Now that we are surging back as a program, there is no need to play them.  I’d rather us play programs like usc, uga, LSU, bama like we’ve scheduled.  Fuck aggy.

There never was a "need" to play them. But it is probably going to eventually happen. The majority of the student bodies in both schools seem to want it and the administrations seem ready for it. But nobody is in a hurry, which probably says something.

Christian Jones emerging at RT would be huge. If he could have a Cosmi-like rise to being our RT next year, we could have an extremely good and deep line if we kick Kerstetter and Okafor inside plus add a GT. The key to our offense taking a step forward next year is going to be an OL that can push the LOS. Last year’s line held their ground and didn’t get flat out beat often (Although Vahe still hasn’t seen a stunt he can figure out), but they almost never imposed their will as a unit. We need that to have better consistency and close out games. This was such a big improvement over the last ten years that it was tough to complain about, but we still have a ton of room for improvement in our OL play before we get to an OL unit that is playoff caliber.

 

Also, Tosh Baker is a 3 Star with a 5 star offer list. He probably has a higher ceiling than Garth or Lindberg and definitely higher than George. I’m not sure if the staff will push for him if we stay looking good for the first two, but I hope they at least keep him warm so we could move on him if Lindberg gets enamored with tree or Garth can’t ignore the piles of cash on his front door that have a heavy stitch of sheep manure.
