Texas Recruiting Notes 2020


Reese Bennett

Recommended Posts

Anyone have quotes from recruits that visited.  I think Roach had a thread up on 247.  Really hoping we can lock Bijan up and then push for Evans through the year.  ou is looking like it will land two 5 star RBs.  We should be able to do the same hopefully.  Looks like Eaton and Alford had a good time.  Hope the DL guys got to see the 4 man fronts we ran with Ossai playing the edge.

I think Eaton ends up at aggy and I'm OK with that.  I'd bet he's behind Crawford, Rogers, and Kimber on the CB board in-state.

Nobody on 247 has come out and said anything officially but looking like EJ doesn’t work for them anymore, he has disappeared from the board and removed all 247 stuff from his twitter. 

If it ends up being the case thank God we don’t have to listen to that idiot anymore.

It wouldn't be shocking if he decided to try to make a 7v7 coverage platform. It's all he really seems to care about.

He was only good for trolling aggie. Roach is good, time for him to step up.

He's been writing for them about SMU recruiting for a while now as a side gig

I wonder if they pay him 6 figs for that or just an occasional bag of cat food. Time to re-cue the DMN sports coverage has gone downhill talk?

Sounds like Herman and the boys put on a nice weekend. The game was dull, but that was just a small part of the weekend for these guys. They carried their excitement and enthusiasm from the rest of the day into the stadium.

I don't see how anyone can be other than delighted by those reactions. However, I'm sure we'll find something to hate even if it's grammar.
