I think O’Meire is basically the exact type of guy that Bobby Kennedy used to recruit who would end up a tweener making little impact, so I’d rather have several other prospects we’re seemingly not prioritizing.

But his testing numbers aren’t actually as bad as I thought.  247 shows him running a 4.69 40, 4.37 shuttle, with a 32.5 inch vertical at the Opening camp this spring, while checking in at 6’3” and 217 pounds.  Those numbers aren’t phenomenal, but they’re not that far off from what plenty of legit WR prospects put up at much lighter weights.  He’s probably become underrated on this board.

My view is that he's fucking great as the last of 4 WR takes or as the 25th man in a class. If taking him means we don't land/pursue someone like Johnston, the opportunity cost isn't worth it. Take 4 guys a year like him and we wind up with no gamebreaking ability whatsoever, and a bunch of Phillip Paynes, Josh Marshalls, DJ Grants, and Dan Buckners clogging up the roster. 

Contrary to what sarvanaash and others might wish to contest, a group of us have formed a view of Omeire on this board that is derived from independent data points saying the same shit about his speed, and comparing notes on this thread. golfclap, Fud, etc., and I are not talking to the same people as far as I know, and I don't think any of us are talking to just a guy out there. People who have seen Omeire in camp and in drills think his speed and quickness is pedestrian, and dismissively so. He's big with great hands, but not elite big. So at best, you have LJH lite. At worst? Looks like Montre Webber.

Rivals doesn't have Jackson top 15 in the state?

Expand  

No, but for the 247th time: his lack of defined position projection is holding/will hold him back from a proper ranking.  Pay no mind, he's an incredible talent and great ringleader for the Dallas area. #DallastoAustin

It looks like 247 has him 48th, ESPN has him 33rd and Rivals has him 121st, so if/when Rivals realizes he’s an elite athlete, he could easily end up a composite 5 star.

I'm confused on this word stuff, but I'd like to give it a try.

VaHorn has a little dick. His wife may be cheating on him.

More or less how I'd have the top 25 (there are a couple of qualification concerns on here that I'm not discounting yet, as it's too early for that). I tried to stop at 14, but couldn't. This is mostly from hudl, and a little info I hear from others.

I like it overall.  The one I feel like I must be missing something on is Lindberg, though. I know he’s been a target of ours forever, has high rankings on all the services, and some big schools after him.

But when I watch his film, he looks stiff when he moves.  And while he’s big, he looks more like he’s just carrying a lot of weight rather than being some kind of natural giant like Leonard Davis or DJ Fluker.  He has the requisite clips of him mauling 200 lb high school players when he gets his hands on them, but honestly, if I didn’t know his ranking I would assume he’s a Baylor/Tech/Okie State level recruit.

I'm getting an interior OL vibe from Lindberg. If we get him, great, but if not, I'm not going to sweat it. The 2021 class is so far superior to any OL group we've seen in a while that I wouldn't mind smaller numbers in 2020 and then loading up next year.

This is also the reason why I don't mind -- at all -- that we seem to have cooled on George. He just never seemed like a take for this class to me, even as the plus one for Evans.

Sounds like IT is cottoning on to the Lindberg hesitation.

Is Omeire a better student than Johnston? Maybe that is why Texas has had him prioritized higher. Or maybe there is a potential character difference.

I’ve noticed that Herman sometimes goes after the better character reference and student, then goes after a more risky prospect if they strike out on high character/grade guys. See T. Carter.

I think this is a solid ranking.  I would put Jackson at 3 though.  Broughton has a long ways to go and Jackson can be elite at about 3 different positions.  Also agree that Demas should be 1.  He’s an absolute freak athlete in his own class.  I’d also have Chris Thompson in the 9-12 range and I would drop Bryson Washington down to 20-25.

It's picking nits when you're debating guys who are right next to each other in the rankings. I'm high on Broughton because of the ease of his movements and how well he carries 6'5 285. It's easy to see him turning into a 315 pound monster who maintains his athleticism 

I love Thompson, but like Dorbah, he's kind of a niche player who's pigeonholed into a role; Thompson is purely a run stuffing box safety, and Dorbah is a pure edge rusher. Both are fine, because they fit roles in our defense, but to me that downgrades them a little bit. Plus, who do you drop out of the top 25 to make room for him? I wanted to include White and Dorbah. 

Washington's hudl is great, he's the best DB in the state to me, easily

Interesting thought. Nobody ever threw a better deep ball than Blake. It fell out of the sky like yellow rain in the Swiss Alps.

(Eric Nahlin)     Ja'Quinden Jackson     

Source #2: I know Jeff Blake has worked with him and thinks he has the mind/understanding he's just never been taught much. They should get Blake to work with him. He's only 8-10 miles from campus. He should work with Sam on his deep ball and Roschon on mechanics too.  Interesting thought. Nobody ever threw a better deep ball than Blake. 

 

Here's a QB coach I'd like a session with... 😀

For those who don’t know any better, VaHorn is a long time price of shit poster with behaviors that surpass any of the biggest coaching apologists that any of you can recall. He was a staunch defender of Greg Davis and Mack Brown, well into their decline. He loved Charlie Strong and Shawn Watson. He mocked posters on 247 for not liking the Watson hire and then did his little downvoting game on anyone who ever uttered a negative word about the guy during his time at Texas. He’s been a Tim Beck OC defender from day one. He’s a LotusHorn, EJ Holland and Chip Brown sycophant. He brings nothing to the table but snark and downvotes and should be put on ignore and negvoted into banishment. Interacting with this goober is an exercise in futility. He has nothing to bring to the table beyond “but your not a corchez!!” rhetoric. 

Expand  

That is such a load of horseshit, but typical ctj. I always hated Greg Davis and naively thought he was the problem. A coordinator or two later, I realized that Mack was equally at fault if not more so. I wanted Muschamp over Mack (not sure how well that would have worked). I did predict that it was unlikely that Mack’s replacement would recruit as well. You were always a “Texas recruits itself” simpleton. 

What I have done multiple times is point out that you are a pompous buffoon that always recreates history in a self-aggrandizing way.  Such a fragile ego you have, lol.

I do agree with the idea that great offensive line play can make all kinds of garbage gameplans look good.

with a dominant OLine you can do pretty much whatever you want.  everything works.  playcalling is irrelevant. 

the big uglies are the most important players on the team.

-Mentioned this earlier, but Lindberg has a ticking clock. Big, guard-ish, and soft isn't ideal anyway, but there's a bragging rights element and so forth. I don't think Texas wants to see him elsewhere, but they might not be waiting around for bullshit past the next month or so. SLC guy is apparently a pure tackle prospect. Some of you dorky OL enthusiasts can fact check that take.

So Lindenberg.......
