just read this interview on evans on 247.  kid is quite the enigma, almost like a tortured artist soul since his grandpa died.  he is definitely missing something and im not gonna judge him on that.  but objectively speaking, i would not want him to be part of the locker room though.  he is extremely antisocial

Expand  

This strikes me as an overreaction. Sounds like he’s a kid that has had a lot thrown at him without a lot of guidance available so he’s trying to handle it himself. He’s still to me the best talent in the class at RB.

surprised 247 dropped CTJ to 3 star.  apparently he was pretty big in containing Zach Evans during the Duncanville vs North Shore championship game.

Expand  

pretty huge drop all things considered, don't know what his score points wise was before but wonder if they have questions about his ability to stick at safety vs spin down to LB or aren't really sure how to handle him?

either way, going to be interesting to see how the other folks handle it and what happens when they update

We talked before Milroe’s decision about his potential as a recruiter and leader. You’re starting to see some of these things play out because Milroe is an alpha type that players naturally want to follow. His skill and work ethic make kids believe in his future, but his confidence makes them believe he’s the baddest dude on the field. The 2021 class is up to five commits with Milroe, Conner, four-star Dallas Skyline wide receiver Quaydarius Davis, Lake Travis tight end Lake McRee and Everman tight end Juan Davis. I think you could see a few more additions to the class this fall, but I think it will also slow down.

The bottom line on that last point is it’s not great for business to fill up half the class a year and a half before signing day. There’s a lot of excitement brewing in the 2021 class right now, and the ceiling on the class can only rise with a big season in 2019. With Milroe at the helm, expect the Longhorns to win their fair share of battles.

Whose business?

Don't sleep on Kennedy Lewis either, that is the kind of kid that TCU tortures us with for 4 years. 

Expand  

KL waited patiently while Texas kept him on the back burner as a back-up plan for Higgins, Bru, and Wilson.  Kennedy LOVES TEXAS like Ehlinger loves Texas.  So as soon as the Horns coaches gave him a commitable offer, KL visited one last time and accepted. 

Thrilled to have another player on the Horns roster that loves Texas as much as Kennedy does... 🤘

Antoinette described her son’s contrarian mindset in these situations as “like looking at TV.” She’ll watch Law and Order and the lawyers’ line of questioning reminds her of the way Evans speaks. Often, Evans will watch with her and ask: “Why didn’t they ask this?” She can see Evans going to law school one day.

Expand  

Can't believe our law school wasn't enough to sell him on coming here.

“It wasn’t football for Zachary,” Sterling said. “It’s really still not. He’s really good at it, but football is just not him. He don’t watch football. He don’t talk about football. None of that. I won’t say it’s not something he doesn’t want to do, because of course he wants to do it. But he just wasn’t attracted to it. It just didn’t catch his attention.”

Obviously Evans is an incredible talent and he will be a star in college no matter what.  I find it hard to believe that he will be very successful in the pros.

Curtis Martin wasn't a very big football fan either.  He was able to look at it like a very high paying job.

I thought that was pretty apparent from his thought about the Georgia game.

his mom has yet to visit any school.  his brother no longer goes on visits with him.  his mom said she would be shocked if he stayed in state.  good luck to whatever school he chooses.  he will be a nightmare player to deal with for those coaches.  even fucking bama's RB coach told him he's too immature to start for them.  except aggy.... they will do whatever to sign him.  they'll tell him he doesn't need to go to class, show up to meetings, etc as long as he signs.

It's getting a little late,  but I wouldn't be shocked if Robinson puts his commitment off a little longer.

There seems to be a lot going on,  and I'm pretty sure the $9.95'rs are just going with how things stood when all the tosu stuff heated up.  

Hope he commits this week,  but I believe he will still be recruited hard by the West Coast schools.

Ideally, he would commit here soon, and still evaluate based on the upcoming seasons. Surely that will give Texas a huge edge, esp if Ingram and Whittington have productive seasons.

Yes.  I agree 100%.

This just seemed to have come up pretty fast.

It's been a while since we've heard any news about him at all. A flurry of 9.95 activity doesn't directly infer a flurry of prospect activity or a sudden change. He's been pretty deliberate thus far and I would assume that this news is a result of his deliberate process.
