Mike at Night: The latest on Chad Lindberg, upcoming visits

—Four-star offensive lineman Chad Lindberg would like to make a decision before his senior season, but he’s facing some time constraints if he wants to make all of his official visits this summer. Lindberg would like to take trips to Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M, and he’s still determining what school will get the last visit. A&M was a bit of a surprise in the schools Lindberg listed, but he told me that he has a good relationship with Texas A&M OL coach Josh Henson going back to his time at Oklahoma State. I still feel that Texas holds the edge here, but we will see where things stand following his slate of visits.

—There was a report that Tucson (Az.) Salpointe Catholic running back Bijan Robinson scheduled his official visit to Texas for June 21st. I spoke with a source who told me that while it’s very likely to happen, nothing has been confirmed yet on that front. Robinson was in Austin during the spring for a visit, and the staff did a great job of recruiting him while on campus. Ohio State seems to be the primary competition here,

—Speaking of Salpointe Catholic prospects, Texas will get two chances this summer to make a move with elite safety prospect Lathan Ransom. Blair Angulo from 247Sports reported that Ransom scheduled an official visit for June 21st, and Ransom told me he will also be in for an unofficial visit on May 31st. The unofficial will run through June 3rd as Ransom spends time with family friends in the Austin area. Ransom used officials to Oklahoma and LSU, and he still has Notre Dame and Ohio State on the docket. Texas is on the outside here, but they have a chance to make up some ground during the summer.

—In our recruiting chat last night, I mentioned that I was feeling less confident on Saguaro cornerback Kelee Ringo. We heard a lot of buzz around Georgia following Ringo’s visit there during the spring, and I expected some of that buzz to wear off after the visit. I checked with a source near Ringo who feels that the Dawgs have opened up a lead here, and Ringo clicked with a couple of their commits. Texas really needs to get the five-star cornerback on campus again to re-establish some position in this recruitment.

BItcoin sales and withdrawals over a certain amount from Coinbase, the most popular exchange, have been subpoenaed by feds in past. So you would be putting yourself at risk for tax evasion.

It’s a distributed ledger dude. Anyone can check it and verify things. There’s a reason people have tried to build truly anonymous coins. The encryption/private keys etc is meant to insure your bitcoin can’t be taken from you.

If you wanna do real anonymous shady business, by far the best medium is cash money, homey. 

Sorry for the thread derail, but the fatkid is right  

 

Auburn handed 200k in cash to Cam Newton’s family and even after that was made public, nothing happened. Forget about bitcoin and encryption. Even when they know about out in the open payments nothing happens.

Along those same lines, Arkansas must be asking WTF is wrong with the Walton heirs.  Guys who own banks with like 4 branch locations in Alabama and Mississippi are power players buying recruits for other SEC schools, meanwhile Arky has one of the richest dynastic families in the world and never won shit.  Cash out some of that stock and pay for a QB, random Walton grandchild that probably lives in Paris or Beverly Hills!

super splintered family (tree from a couple of years old Business Insider article) but they do give a pretty good amount of money to Arkansas - in 2017 the Walton Family foundation gave them $120m to start an Art School, last year they got like $23m for research, they gave them $300m in 2002, family gave $50m in cash in 98 for the Business School (Sam Walton College of Business) - only real big sports donation I see is that Bud Walton gave like $15m in the early 90s and got the basketball arena named after him.

Waltons graduated from Mizzou if that matters.

I think they get a ton of money from other folks / families in LR - was always told the reason the played LSU (biggest SEC rival at that point in time) at War Memorial in Little Rock was due to $$$ in LR

Couple of things from IT:

Spoiler

 

Poster: Is Kourt Williams the same fit as Thompson Jr is what I was getting at?
Then you have your answer.

Nahlin: Thompson will start off at safety, likely Joker. Williams would be a Rover day-one.

/


Wells: Texas coaches Criag Naivar and Jason Washington were at John Tyler this evening, watching CB Kitan Crawford. 

His penchant for wearing burnt orange is a wonderful sign. This is trending well. 

Nahlin: Need more early evals like this and Jordon Thomas. It gives UT a tremendous advantage.

Crawford’s gonna be an absolute stud. I have no idea what his final rating will but he has an All-American, first round pick ceiling. His combination of fluidity, explosiveness, and change of direction ability is absolutely elite. And he’ll be a plus in the run/bubble screen game.

Dude, its not an underground problem. It is, at worst, a partially obscured but a tacitly accepted dynamic. As Burt said, which part of fbi recorded tapes proving racketeering with zero consequences jives with the concept of Underground? Clemson uses a tax exempt fucking church to launder money. Bitcoin cant be traced. The only way cheating goes away is if the power programs tell the ncaa to fuck off and start a new governing body. Why would Bama and Clemson want to do that?

Demieon George writeup from a rivals regional reporter. He and Evans are all over the place in interviews but this one says it's a Texas/Bama battle.

Spoiler

Damieon George isn't a talker, but he says plenty with his style of play.

The powerful North Shore (Texas) offensive tackle has made multiple trips out to Alabama and Texas this spring, and to no surprise, it's becoming a two-team race between the Tide and the Longhorns for the three-star lineman.

George provided his thoughts on each school and more with Rivals.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

On Alabama: "They just win. They produce a lot of first-round picks, especially at the offensive line position. They're pushing that to me. The coaches want me to come and visit and come see the campus. I've been there before, but he wants me to come again. (What stands out is) the rings. When you see his (Nick Saban's) rings and all those diamonds, there's something to it. It had my mouth watering. Coach Saban is really cool and he broke down everything for my mom. She didn't have to ask any questions because he told her everything she needed to know. She loves that school."

On Texas: "It's the coaches. I really like Coach (Herb) Hand. He's really cool and one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. I like the way he teaches and the way he develops his offensive linemen. Coach Hand is probably the coach I have the best relationship with."

RIVALS REACTION

George has made it known Texas and Alabama are the favorites in his recruitment, but he also mentioned LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M as schools in contact with him. However, he is leaning toward his fits in Austin and Tuscaloosa at the moment.

George's mother may have her eyes on Alabama at the moment, but Hand has done a good job of asserting the Longhorns as a favorite here. It would not be surprising if he landed at either one of those schools when he makes a decision in February.

Also Ketch being a massive tool in the comments

Spoiler

Mom loving Alabama?

Kid loves Hand?

Pretty damn revealing update. Nice work, Sam.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

joshgw1 said: ↑
Can you elaborate?

I thought I just did?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RC Didnt Offer said: ↑
You didnt.

a. He loves Hand.

b. He claims his mom loves Saban/Alabama.

What else needs to be explained?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

joshgw1 said: ↑
I don't know what to tell you if you think following up an article with two questions; one of which can be taken as someone with a hand-out is elaborating.

I can't help it if you don't know that Texas' OL coach is named Herb HAND.

There's literally nothing related to a hand out in my post.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

regger13 said: ↑
Good grief, Ketch. He's asking what you think is so revealing about the update, other than George having a close connection with Hand.

I outlined it.

a. He's very close with Herb Hand.
b. His mom likes Alabama.

This isn't rocket science. Good grief is right.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

joshgw1 said: ↑
Except you didn’t say “it’s quite revealing that he likes hand and his mom likes Alabama”. You asked questions making us have to decide what you meant, which is why I asked you to elaborate.

You know...with the question makes and all

The question marks are there for discussion.

It's a matter of judging what those facts mean.

It's funny because we're used to having to read between the lines when 9.95ers say something, but Ketch doesn't know shit. Everybody's asking what his comment means, like if his mom is getting paid, but it really just means he read the article.

(Ian Boyd) Inside the Gameplan: The five-star RB shuffle

Running back evaluation is pretty tricky. It is for me at least, the driver of the Kyle Porter bandwagon. I believe Dana Holgorsen is about to steer us into a casino for a “pit stop” and that will likely be the end of our journey. The top prospects tend to have outstanding measurables in terms of 40 times or track times, but if you’re playing RB at all you’re probably a great athlete. Kris Boyd had some of the best measurables at RB you’ve ever seen and a state title to boot, and he ended up making a pretty good cornerback.

The trick with Porter of course was that he was a part of the Katy machine, which has churned out as many star HS backs this century as any program in the state of Texas. Much like the Mike Shanahan Denver Broncos or now the Sean McVay Los Angeles Rams, every star RB looks like a world-beater but when the next guy comes from nowhere and does the same thing, you start to wonder.

With the 2020 crop of RBs, of which there are multiple 5-star recruits for whom Texas is in the mix for, I’ve determined to take a much closer look in order to try and better sort out which of these guys is really going to put it all together.

The kid from Houston

Zachary Evans has been the talk of the 2020 class for a couple of years now. There just aren’t a lot of flaws in his resume. He dominated the SPARQ event, running a 4.51 40, 3.84 shuttle, and posting a 37.2” vertical at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds. Over the last few years at North Shore he’s dropped eye-opening stats and won a state title.

Sophomore year: 184 carries, 1483 yards, 8.1 ypc, 27 TDs
Junior year: 164 carries, 1785 yards, 10.9 ypc, 29 TDs

The North Shore OL in 2018 was notoriously very good thanks to three-star Damieon George, a 6-foot-6, 305 pound RT, and a collection of 270+ pound upperclassmen at the other four spots. The Mustangs also had an ultra-talented 2021 QB/WR duo in Dematrius Davis and Shadrach Banks to hold the attention of opposing defenses. Their big showdown with Duncanville was anticlimactic for Evans as the No. 1 rated 2020 prospect. The Panthers rolled with a dime defense that overloaded the box and kept Evans hemmed in for 96 yards on 21 carries.

Instead Dematrius Davis and Shadrach Banks did the real damage with Davis completing a Hail Mary for the game-winner with time expiring. For his part, Evans tended to pick OL to run behind, either aiming to advance behind his lead blocker if he had one or else tending toward George.

Evans’ elite athleticism translates most clearly in the effortlessness with which he glides to his target areas on the field and his ability to blow by people and reach elite speeds with just a few steps. He has unreal quickness in all directions but has actually relied on his HS OL to create his lanes to this point. The bet on Evans is that his ideal movement skills will allow him to be easily coached into a star. You just don’t see agility like this in guys that aren’t shorter slot WRs. However, it’s clear enough that he can’t overcome a defensive front that cuts him off from the space he needs for his movement skills to come to bear.

From Aledo’s mold

Precocious Joe Cook calls Aledo “the Katy of DFW” and I think that’s about it. They’ve won eight titles overall and the five out of eight this decade at the 5A level. There are a few sorta-amusing consistents with the Bearcats. One is their QB play, they have had a stocky dual-threat with the last name of Bishop for six of their eight state championships. The most recent is Jake Bishop, who will be a senior in 2019. Another is their ability to consistently find five-star RB talents on their campus. Johnathan Gray was the man from 2008 to 2011 with Matt Bishop as the Bearcats won three consecutive 4A titles in 09, 10, and 11. Now they have Jase McClellan, who of course is the particular interest of Texas fans.

Here’s how the two stack up in comparison:

image.png

There are two obvious differences which are a mixed bag in terms of analyzing his potential as a recruit. One difference is that McClellan’s stats are less explosive than Gray’s, who was basically untouchable and a walking first down/touchdown machine in his time at the HS level.

On the positive side for McClellan here is that their measurables are nearly identical to the point of suspicion. It’s almost like they have a mold out in Aledo and are just cranking out 5-foot-10, 205 pound freak athletes to plug in at RB.

Gray in HS: 4.53 40, 4.03 shuttle, 35.7” vertical, 10.58 100m in track
McClellan: 4.57 40, 4.09 shuttle, 36.7” vertical, 10.89 100m in track

The other big difference is the workload. Gray logged an absolutely absurd volume of carries over his four years as a starter while the Bearcats have kept McClellan’s to a more reasonable rate. In this regard, McClellan has benefited from sharing the spotlight with 2021 WR and four-star prospect JoJo Earle, who had 90 total touches in 2018 for 1356 yards and 19 TDs. The Bearcats created a lot of two-man game RPOs from the spread, giving Bishop bubble to Earle or hand off to McClellan options, or else Bishop or McClellan pure run options.

But the reason that Aledo is a title-machine isn’t their superior use of spread tactics, it’s their blocking. Here’s the crew that McClellan was working with in 2018:

image.png

They weren’t overloaded with superstar talent of the sort that would draw in college recruiters. Their best player was LT Cameron Callaway, a really athletic blocker that was snatched up by the smart evaluators at Army. The right side of their OL was impressively large but their smaller left side had the better athletes and center Logan Escamilla often put DTs on a platter for Chandler Knandel to devour with his size. Aledo would often support this group with 21 personnel from the shotgun (TE and FB).

With eight blockers on the field, a dual-threat QB executing option reads from the shotgun, and a fleet-footed WR holding attention on the perimeter it was impossible to outnumber the box to stop McClellan. Impossible. You needed nine in the box to outnumber their blockers and even then Aledo could equate the numbers by using Bishop on the option.

Their favorite set was a 21 personnel shotgun formation with the TE to one side and twin receivers opposite the TE. Against Ft. Bend Marshall in the 2018 title game they ran that as an unbalanced set with the RT playing LT, the TE playing RT, and star LT Callaway playing as a covered up and ineligible TE. Marshall wasn’t up for it:

giphy.gif

Aledo seems to be a base outside zone team. They have a few ways to run the play and it’s pretty devastating from their TE sets which allows them to run pin and pull variations...

giphy.gif

...and when they add a fullback they can mix in lead blocks. For all intents and purposes it’s a similar offense to what the Katy Tigers run except that by doing it from the shotgun they can add in spread-option schemes and create more horizontal stress.

So that’s the setup in which we have to sort through McClellan’s gaudy stats and impressive measurables. He’s on a team that excels at creating advantages at the point of attack that his speed regularly allows him to fly through. The big issue with his predecessor Gray was a combination of tackle-breaking and worn tread. Gray struggled to break tackles early, obviously not used to dealing with unblocked defenders hitting him before he’d had a chance to build speed and find two-way go lanes. He then blew out an Achilles tendon in his sophomore year (probably from that HS wear and tear) and again before draft workouts after his senior year.

The worn tread issues aren’t as strong with McClellan, and with Keaontay Ingram and Jordan Whittington ahead of him it’s less likely that he’d have to log heavy carries early in his career. Questions about how he’ll do when opponents can actually get defenders into the action is a bigger concern. In particular, how might he do at pressing up to the line and setting up defenders before using the unquestionable quickness to dart into uncovered gaps? Running at Texas wouldn’t be like it was at Aledo, where he was just hitting his spots with the right timing and could generally count on the hole being there as a result of his blockers’ effort.

Here’s how things often looked when Aledo ran something like tight zone:

giphy.gif

There’s not much artistry here, just running to daylight while his OL completely mauls the opponent. The big right side completely caved in the front here and the bounce for the end zone was all too easy for an athlete of McClellan’s caliber.
giphy.gif

This one is actually better because he’s picking his path on the way to the line based on how the LB fits the run (he’s fooled by their criss-cross path on the blitz but then fights for respectable yardage). He’ll have to learn to translate his athleticism to setting up blockers and making later cuts rather than looking to build up speed on his way to the line of scrimmage so that he can race for the goal line. His Bearcats were barely tested a year ago, with Frisco Reedy coming closest to stopping them and coming up short in a 26-16 game in which McClellan had 25 carries for 185 yards and three scores. McClellan has all the tools though, it’s just a simple matter of responding to coaching and adjusting his style for defenses that won’t let him just run to his spots and blow by them.

The desert’s super squad soldier

Salpointe Catholic, the home to Bijan Robinson, is a very different kind of program. It’s a private school in Tuscon, AZ that recruits athletes and consequently has an absurd collection of D1 talent on the roster.

Fortunately for Robinson, their OL in particular had a lot of talent out in front of him, in particular a D2-bound senior center named Thomas Lares checking in at 6-foot-1, 275 pounds and bookend P5 tackles. At RT they had four-star Jonah Miller (6-foot-6, 285 pounds) who has offers from Nebraska, Texas, Florida, USC, etc. Over at LT they had three-star Bruno Fina (6-foot-4, 235 pounds) who has offers from USC and UCLA.

The system at Salpointe in 2018 was essentially “a million ways to run power,” with a variety of both I-formation and Air Raid spread looking sets from which they’d run every conceivable version of power for their star back. In their championship game last year against Saguaro they ran something that looked like Oklahoma’s offense but without the passing. Robinson took 27 carries for 155 yards but they lost to rival superteam Saguaro (Kelee Ringo’s team).

Here was Robinson’s best run against Saguaro in the final:

giphy.gif

It has to be drawn up to truly appreciate how absurd his trajectory was on this run.

image.png

He ran at the cornerback to the short side of the field, pressing right up to him before cutting back behind the double team and lead insert from one of his fullbacks. Beyond pushing the Saguaro backfield the wrong direction, it also bought time for his blockers to plow open a huge hole and wash them all down in the wrong direction.

This sort of run highlights what makes Bijan a fantastic RB prospect. His change of direction and ability to accelerate abruptly and quickly with his first step makes him a nightmare. His numbers at the SPARQ combine are barely illustrative of the speed he plays with on the football field. Measuring in at 5-foot-11, 187 pounds before his junior season he ran a 4.77 40 and 4.57 shuttle but posted a 36.8” vertical and 37.5’ power toss. In other words, he’s an explosive athlete who doesn’t run track and hasn’t figured out how to translate his abilities to football’s favorite tests but doesn’t struggle to work it out in pads.

Here’s his numbers through three years of varsity work:

Freshman year: 42 carries, 378 yards, 9.0 ypc, four TDs
Sophomore year: 189 carries, 2023 yards, 10.7 ypc, 26 TDs
Junior year: 170 carries, 2400 yards, 14.1 ypc, 35 TDs

His combination of first step quickness with P5-bound tackles on the perimeter meant that he was winning the edge A LOT and then burning teams for huge gains. But yet, as you see above, Robinson showed flexibility using the threat of the bounce to cut downhill and the threat of the inside lane to bounce back to the edge. He didn’t just outrace defenses to the perimeter, although he did that at times, often taking care to set up his runs to inflict maximum damage and help set up his blockers.

In truth, the quality of Robinson’s blocking was probably less than that of McClellan’s. Whereas McClellan is a freak athlete in the ideal scenario to make his speed impossible to deal with, Robinson’s strengths lend themselves better to playing games with defenders and setting up rushing lanes then leaning on being able to run behind star blockers and hit the holes where they could be expected to be found at speed.

The verdict

You’d assume that the RB on the private school team that recruits their OL would be the most inclined to lean on his blocking but that’s not how it worked out. Jase McClellan and Zach Evans are remarkably similar backs, with the former executing a system with elite athleticism and the latter benefitting from space and massive leads while applying his own otherworldly speed. Robinson is actually the furthest along in terms of leveraging his athleticism to create unique advantages for him on the field. While he doesn’t test as well, it’s hard to believe that either McClellan or Evans can threaten more gaps on a given play than the Arizona back. If Texas goes two for three or one for three it’s the back out west where the best bet lies.

I stopped at: "Running back evaluation is pretty tricky. It is for me at least, the driver of the Kyle Porter bandwagon."

It's hard for me to imagine a recuriting article I'd want to read less than Ian Boyd on RBs. I'm sure he spent most of his time talking about blocking schemes.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see where he ends up in the rankings in the end.  He's in the top 100 on ESPN, a high 3* on 247, and I think around #75-80 in-state on Rivals.  I don't think Rivals and 247 have updated since Crawford's recruitment blew up.

Most folks insist he isnt going to play far from home. He says he wants his grandma to see his games. LSU churns out RBs, they are an obvious option and serious threat.

It actually depends on the casual encounters they have during their visit.

Everyone knows that the biggest factor in a recruits decision is the quality of the message boards from each particular school.

There is a whole bunch of whimpering defeatism infiltrating this thread and spreading itself in nefarious, non-South Austin’s mom kind of ways. 

The writing off of Ringo and Evans at this stage is wholly unwarranted and directly related to the simpering, mental farts being shot out from the IT guys. 

Pull yourselves together and find your fucking spines. If nothing else, end the fait accompli silliness in May.

The writing off of Ringo

I have not understood this reaction from everyone. The kid is going to Athens because they are having another event that is being attended by a lot of talented recruits. He is not coming to Austin because there is simply nothing really going on right now. However, I am quite certain that he will show up on the Texas campus a few times over the coming months. I am no expert, but I do not believe that he is going to commit this weekend. I also believe this recruitment will play out for another 7 months. If he does commit this weekend, then keep recruiting him anyway until he signs. Is Georgia a threat? You damn right they are. Is Texas a factor in this recruitment? You damn right they are.
