I would put pressure on Lindberg. Bring in Anderson, Braun, Baker - first to commit. Every one of our targets seem content on taking their time. Meanwhile, a bunch of guys who say that they are taking their time visit Georgia and Alabama and commit immediately. It is not a money thing. They are told they are filling up and that if they want to be a part of the class they need to make a decision.

Ugh yeah... let’s definitely not do this.  He’s stated for a while now that he will take all 5 visits and will commit before the season.  We’re also the most likely pick.  Matter of fact, seems like if we pressured him to commit, it will probably back fire against us.   His mom loves Texas, he’s boys with majors, card, and parr.  Need to let this play out.

If we don't offer Amderson, Tosh Baker never visits, and the staff doesn't really go after George, do we only take 4 OL assuming we land Lindberg and try for 6 in 2021?

Texas is definitely going after George

Maybe I didn't come across great but my point was that I don't think that Lindberg is worth waiting on. Same with Omerie but our options seem somewhat limited this year at WR. They aren't limited at OL.

I like the look of Anderson's film more than Lindberg's, unless Anderson was actually playing at 240 last year instead of the listed 270.

Expand  

Anderson's athleticism and aggressiveness is great, but he's still got a lot to work on technically. He reminds me some of Connor Williams. Imo, Lindberg will be ready to play earlier, and could potentially be an elite guard if we already have good tackles, kind of like Tyler Johnson.

Lindberg is already pretty damned huge, which worries me, and he’s gotten his asswhipped a bunch at camps. I’ll be happy if Texas lands him, but I won’t start cutting myself if he goes elsewhere.

Didn't Lindberg not participate at most camps due to a shoulder injury? Did you see highlights of him getting beat, or is that something you heard from people there? 

I think he'll end up being a monster offensive guard for us

I like Lindberg but mostly as a Guard. I’m skeptical he’ll work out at Tackle. Problem is we already have two other interior linemen, and if the staff gets their way, we’ll add another interior lineman in George. It’s good we took 3 tackles last year, but I’d still rather have more than one tackle prospect in this class. I get all the moving parts, but it would still be better for the staff’s ideal OL class to include one less interior lineman and include someone like Baker or Anderson.

They played the Christmas carols assembly at my elementary school every year. Mildly different vibe.

It helps that we might be taking like four stud tackles in 2021, several of whom could play early. It would be nice if the Brockermeyers would transfer somewhere so they could graduate early. 

Having to basically recruit George exclusively for the 5th OL spot to help maximize our odds with Evans really ties our hands, but it is what it is. Worst case scenario, if guys like Shepherd, Hookfin, and Garth aren't ready, maybe we'll just have to play someone like Lindberg at right tackle, and we'll have a guy who's a better drive blocker than pass protector, and we'll just run behind him a lot.

I was referencing his work at the UA event in the winter, and no, not highlights.

Yeah. our 2019 and 2021 classes will hopefully mitigate the lack of tackles. If were viewing leaving a spot open for George as a necessity, it makes things a little difficult. I’d probably prefer we take Garth, Lindberg, and 1/2 of Majors, Parr, and then add an OT prospect but it won’t be the end of the world. 

It’ll suck if we don’t push for Baker/Anderson  and then don’t get George, but the staff seems like they’re fine with that gamble for the chance at Evans.

- Four-star defensive lineman Vernon Broughton arrived in style. Broughton came with a few different members of his family, and I’m told the Texas staff did a fantastic job of including the entire family in the visit. I’m also told that the decision to have the committed offensive line prospects on campus for this visit was huge for Broughton. While Majors and Parr are close with Lindberg, I’m told that they have also become close with Broughton. One source I spoke with came away from the weekend feeling that Texas grabbed a clear lead in this recruitment, but the Longhorns know the work is not done. Broughton will likely visit Texas A&M for an official before making his decision. The big factor for Texas in this one is Oscar Giles

Interesting that Roach is saying A&M will get an official from Broughton. OB said his OVs were probably going to be Bama, LSU, OU, and tOSU. I'd like that much better lol.

Is it just me or has OB seemed to jump Horns247 as far as info goes the last month or 2? By no means am I trying to compliment OB but 247 has dropped off tremendously.
