He does.  FWK has been tweeting out training vids of the two of them for the last week.

Dunn currently shows one D1 offer (Temple).

Didn't he also try to transfer to the HS Hornsby is at?  

Lets see if a big stink comes over this for transferring for "athletic purposes".  If the North Forest coach turns it in could be some fireworks from the UIL.

No, when the rumor that he was transferring awhile back leaked out, people assumed it was to FB Marshall, but that was wrong

So how's Jimbo and crew going to negative recruit Texas now?  Pretty sure from what we've seen the past year it was "Texas is all hype", "the locker room is divided", and "they took so-and-so last cycle at your position".

Him and Adeleye? That's a pipeline right there.

We have a great chance to stockpile the DL going forward with elite guys in Collins, Umanmielen, Broughton, Dorbah, and ??? this class and continue in 21' with Adeleye and Landon Jackson.

We probably need a true NT somewhere unless Adeleye or Umanmielen grows into one.

According to OB: 

Zach Evans next weekend. He might not visit LSU this weekend. Bryson Washington and Logan Parr (maybe) as well next weekend. 

Alfred Collins this weekend. 

 

 

I think somebody already mentioned it but we'll probably have junior day in February right?

Oh cool, nice to have Bryson on campus as well. Parr's unexpectedly active for an early OL commit.

Usually end of February or early March, but both Openings in Texas this year are the weekends of March 3rd and 17th, so yeah I bet Jr. Day is in mid-late February.  

Haven't we split up Jr. Day under Herman?  Some come on Saturday, others the next day Sunday?

E.J. Holland: Texas staff set to see key recruits on recruiting trail

I think Evans is looking for reasons to sign with Texas. We have the spot for him, out team is on the rise. His brother is in our corner. For once, I feel good about this recruitment. I think this will be like the Bru to USC.

This is nothing like Bru to USC. If we go 5-7 and clean house except for Herman there is a 0% chance he comes here. 

Everybody should temper expectations for Evans imo. We have as good a shot as anyone but I'd still take the field over us.

In case you missed it on the board on Thursday, Texas will host a few key unofficial visitors this weekend and next.

Bastrop Cedar Creek DE Alfred Collins will be on campus this Saturday to watch the hoops game and tour the campus.


Five-star RB Zachary Evans will be on campus on January 18 to attend the Texas-OU hoops game. Rivals100 DB Bryson Washington will also be at that game, and Texas OL commitment Logan Parr told me he’s trying to make it in as well. I’d expect that list to grow, but those are a few of the guys who confirmed their plans on Thursday night.

Of note … Evans was planning to visit LSU this coming weekend but I’m told those plans are now up in the air.

One of the elephants in the room with regards to running backs coach Stan Drayton being retained as running backs coach for the Longhorns is that while he hasn’t been an ace recruiter for the Longhorns up until now, he has built a very strong relationship with 2020 superstar running back Zachary Evans of North Shore.

While there is still nearly a year left in the recruitment of Evans, this isn’t a recruitment that would be served well by making a hire that would be creating a relationship with Evans from scratch.

The primary schools in his recruitment have all developed 12+ month relationships with Evans and hitting the reset button would represent a major risk, especially since Drayton has been positioned as a major positive in Evans’ recruitment.

Consider this report from last spring.

2020 North Shore running back Zachary Evans visited UT a couple weeks ago and will be back again on Saturday for the Orange-White game. That can’t be bad. Evans, arguably the best back in the nation for his class, said his most recent visit went very well, further solidifying UT’s position at or near the top of his list.

“I feel like it was better than any other visit because we actually sat and did film this time, straight film. I already knew about the school, but the way he broke it down to me, how I’d be a valuable asset in his offense, it was amazing,” Evans said.

It was Evans, his brother and Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton in the film room. Evans said he feels, based on what he’s seen, that the Texas offense is going to be “very explosive this year” and he’s expecting Texas to rack up a large number of wins this fall.

Evans’ thoughts on Drayton …

“I feel like he’s a very valuable coach. The way he breaks down film is like no other,” Evans said. “It’s very understandable coming from him. Then I feel like as I keep going up there, we bond closer and closer every time.”

Fast-forward nine months and the Longhorns are in an excellent position with Evans, the pole-position, in fact.

It’s a risk to count on Drayton to finish the deal with this recruitment, but he’s been incredibly valuable in this pursuit thus far.

I like Chris Vaugn's kid Deuce as an RB2 if we were to go that route in this class. Very impressive stats and film but remains unranked for some reason, might be due to his size. Might not be considered at Texas either way due to his old man's integrity issue.
