Lets see if he can manage to not be misogynistic, condescending and sexually offensive to the ladies in attendance. I know this seems like an impossible task if you're Jim Turner, but I'm confident Carrington is up to the challenge.

Kimber is pretty polished and reads routes well, but I have questions about his overall athleticism.

Agreed. that dude can play CB right now, really good technique and has a lot of value in being able to play right away but I am worried about his frame. He's so slight and his shoulders are very narrow. His recruitment is going to be very interesting.

And was uniformly defended on Texags.  Women in the past thought it was funny. Like they could distinguish uncomfortable laughter from guffawing.

It's a good write-up. I'll throw out some thoughts.

1) Here's a live look-in at Hudson Card: 

tiny-hands-alt-640x533.jpg

2) The search for a TE isn't over, for sure. There's a potential guy out of Arkansas as well. I think this is one where if they can't get a true bad ass, they take on a raw materials guy in the fall that shows up on the radar late. I'd love for Henderson to be groomed into Anthony Beck's role, as he'd be a fit and more athletic/fast in that spot.

3) Broughton is a Slick Willie Lyles special. The $9.95ers should ask around and confirm, but I'm pretty certain at this point. Does that mean Texas won't get him? No. Does that mean this won't be a straightforward recruitment? Yes. While he may stay in the vicinity of home, do not count out vists to SEC shitholes, Oregon, Illinois and Ohio State. Magically Baylor could get an unofficial. I'm not pessimistic here, but for those who haven't been around as long as a lot of us, just dropping in some expectation setting.

4) Josh White is a damned good football player, but apparently isn't yet worth an offer because an inch shorter than presumed. I am not critical of this staff's evaluations, but this one is irritating to me as a recruitnik. Give me some guys that can play and want to go to Texas first and foremost. I don't want to hear about 35 guys in the transfer portal every winter. 

5) Take this FWIW, but one of my good friends with no Texas affiliation but in this kind of business does not really like Smalls, at least at the 5 star level. He probably winds up on the line and the 4 DLs in-state that Texas likes are all high potential guys for having championship physical dimensions and they can all play. 

6) Conversely, supposedly Clark Philips is a perfect fucking NB/return man. He's not 6 foot, but who gives a fuck with his explosiveness? He's close enough to it. Believe the hype, apparently. 

7) Collins has a close relative working inside the AD. He's a legacy. This guy should already be a public commitment. I'm guessing that other staff members have to step in and help out eventually, per the Giles usual. Ridiculous. But hey, he'll continue to sky rocket in the rankings until he commits. 

8 ) I don't think anyone has a fucking clue what the plan is at CB besides going all-in on Ringo. It wouldn't shock me if we saw a commitment this weekend, and it also wouldn't shock me if not a single CB in attendance this weekend ever receives a major push to commit from Texas. 

9) If they want a commitment or two coming out of this, I have to believe Dixon gets a push. 

10) Speaking of Dixon, I think he's the only in-state WR Texas lands this cycle unless they crack the code with Omeire.

Illinois going all-in on Texas bagmen is one of the funniest running storylines in recruiting.

We eventually got around to deciding Gbenda was worth it (and Dashaun White, although by the time we did, it was too late).  Maybe/presumably/hopefully the staff will here, too, unless it thinks it will hit on better can't-miss prototypical LBs?

I'm passing information on that I read elsewhere. That's considered creeping, now?

To clarify, Collins told Super K that he's taking the SAT.

Broughton and Collins are both attending the camp mentioned in one of the articles posted here.

Nahlin and Ian Boyd are all fucking in on Hudson Card, so this will be a fun difference of opinion to follow.

im sure @closetojumping would ageee with me that we need a real insider who can get close enough to Card to get some comparison photos and maybe even just pull out a fucking measuring tape on the spot in order to settle this. I’m thinking @Longhorn94 is the man for the job. 

I don’t give a fuck if Lyles, Ro Simon, and FWK all have their hands out in Broughton’s recruitment. He’s a must have. We’ve missed out on too many elite DL over the last few years.

Definitely just teasing, dude.  Everyone appreciates what you bring to this site (which is why you're easily the #1 member on the site). 

With that being said, feel free to PM me Drew Mehringer's SSN.  You know all this other shit, so I know you know it, too, you cyberhacking motherfucker.

Ketchum has him as the #3 prospect in Texas, which presumably means he's has him as a 5*. And now a large part of the Longhorns universe will think Card is a 5*. Absurd, but hopefully he turns out correct

Nahlin today said he'd probably have him in the 10-15 range, and then later said he'd have him as a .95 which generally puts you in the 15-18 range in Texas

I’m still not convinced Machinator’s not a bot, but either way he brings a lot to the site and he’s pretty much the preimminent source for any data you could ever want to know related to recruiting.

Except for eerily personal info about EJ. @texifornia‘s got that corner locked down.

Card was literally at Pluckers last month and yet no one got a pic.

Also, here's a photo of him holding a child's-sized novelty football.  Yikes.  Problematic.

BUT I have also learned that he has the ability to make footballs levitate, which alleviates much of the strain on his small hands and makes grip strength totally irrelevant.  Once Rivals rates him for his telekinetic passing ability, I expect he will gain his 5th star.

I might have accidentally thrown Nahlin in too far on the Card bandwagon, but Boyd is pretty much already billing Card as the savior and said he thinks Card will beat out Roschon when the QB spot opens up after Sam.

hahahaha no. im not that guy. i think all the hand size stuff for a college QB in a power spread offense is pretty silly.

i like Card a lot. but if Texas can grab another quality QB prospect for 2020 they should. as for Roschon vs Card, they are similar players and both fit Herman's offense really well. my favorite thing about Card is his competitiveness. he is a hard worker and doesnt get overwhelmed by the moment. i know i am known around these parts as an LT homer, but around LT im known as a UT homer. my loyalty lies with Longhorns first and foremost. the rest is just info i try to pass on whether from LT or UT sources.

very early days of the internet...Go Big 12 days still, I think, before Hornfans....there was a kid that flipped last minute from aggy to Notre Dame...I think he was a lineman or TE named "Morton" or something similar....anyway, this poor 17 year old had the temerity to want a world class education instead of aggy bullshit and his family got ROASTED by early aggy message board user.

It was crazy and they may have moved over the deal.  aggy can't help  but showing their true colors at some point in the game.  happens every fucking time.

Pretty sure that was the same class as VY so hornfans was around. And aggy’s rivals website was the board who roasted him.  And then his mom got on and responded.  That was back in the days of Alan Zepeda. Who makes Liucci look sane.
