Suchomel had a write up on the weekend

Spoiler

Been working the phones today and have actually had quite a bit of luck in tracking down the official visitors that were on campus this weekend. I’ll have more detailed reports when I’m able to catch my breath, but some highlights from my conversations …
 


Trevor Goosby said it was a very good visit overall. He’s currently spending some time with family that lives in Austin. Goosby said he’s going to take some time to weigh his options with his family before deciding if he’ll stick with TCU or flip to Texas. Texas A&M, which recently offered, isn’t much of a factor. I expect TCU will counter-punch in the coming days but Texas is in a very good spot as of today.

 

 


Jaydon Chatman said he enjoyed the trip and it’s now time to come to a decision. He doesn’t have an exact timetable for when he’ll announce, but said it will be soon, probably a couple weeks at the most. Technically, all four of the schools he’s visited – Texas, OU, A&M and LSU – are still in play. Realistically, it’s just two that have been considered. Texas is one of the two ... the other is a bit of a surprise. Really like UT’s position in this one.

 

 


I haven’t talked to Connor directly since the visit (I’ll catch up with him tonight) but things couldn’t have gone better for Texas. This one was always believed it would be a UT and A&M battle and I like the Horns’ chances to win out in the very near future.

 

 


Ryan Niblett had told us when he first committed that he’d probably take other visits. After this weekend, he said he doesn’t see that happening. Spent a lot of time with guys like Johntay Cook and Quinn Ewers, and worked on recruiting Jonah Wilson

 

 


The Oklahoma State commit absolutely raved about his visit. He’s still committed to OSU but has some thinking to do. If Texas continues to push here, my money is comfortably on the Longhorns.

 

 


I caught up with Derek Williams before he boarded his plane and he tells me it was a great visit. Plans to take his time and take his other visits in the fall, so lots of time left in this one. He lists Texas, Bama, Miami, Clemson, A&M and LSU as schools that are standing out.

 

 


Dylan Spencer said he feels even better about his commitment now than he did before the visit, and he was solid before the visit. Was hosted by T’Vondre Sweat and Alfred Collins and said he worked on recruiting Braylan Shelby.

We continue to hear great things on UT’s chances with some of the other visitors, guys like Johntay Cook, Derion Gullette, Jonah Wilson and Andre Cojoe. I have FutureCast predictions in for all of them to go to Texas and I feel pretty good about those picks.

I talked briefly with Braylan Shelby but he wanted me to call him back after he made it home. Shelby did tell me the visit went very well though and in talking to people who spent time around him, they feel like Texas is in a good spot coming out of the weekend.

Lastly, I’ll work on getting an Anthony Hill update later today, but grapevine talk this weekend is that Texas may actually be the team to beat in that one after Hill spent the weekend with former teammates Ja’Tavion Sanders and Austin Jordan.

And some other info taken from his comments

Spoiler

- Texas looks good with Muhammad. No clue when Baxter will announce, honestly. But everyone and their brother is expecting him to publicly commit to Texas at some point.

- Stroh actually commited on Friday, Jonah committed last night.

Sorry I expected better returns from Arch's commitment, which may come later. We keep getting the same results on the field year after year and yet we forget that the reason for that was recruiting. Then the offseason comes and we celebrate our recruiting class again. We need to break the cycle. Sorry for being grumpy but I am tired of fielding bad teams and then blame the recruiting class.

I didn't know toxic shock was still a thing.

It takes a special kind of misery to be upset about recruiting over the last couple of days.

Tbh I get it, but you have to remember that this is a relatively weak instate OL class and we just pulled a monster 7-person class. We were never going to repeat that along the OL this year. If we start taking bready WRs I’d be more concerned but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

Justin Wells on Hill

Spoiler

“Something special is coming.” - Anthony Hill Sr, on UT’s Class of 2023

If you couldn’t tell, Texas’ Class of 2023 is growing rather quickly. Denton (Texas) Ryan LB, On3 Consensus No. 14 overall Anthony Hill Jr is noticing.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound five-star is headed home after his official visit to Austin. Inside Texas caught up with the family.

“The visit went great,” said Hill Sr. “There’s a difference now compared to last summer around the team. It’s total buy-in. All the kids are working together. It’s really special to see.”

Hill Jr is getting the hard sell from Steve Sarkisian, Pete Kwiatkowski, and Jeff Choate. Add Cooper Manning to that list.

“We want Anthony Hill,” Manning, told Hill Sr.

Last summer, Hill Jr, Johntay Cook, Arch Manning, and Malik Muhammad camped at Elite Day in Austin. Sarkisian told Hill Sr that he could only dream of landing all those guys in the 2023 class.

“Texas signed a great class in 2022,” said Hill Sr. “But this 2023 class might be better.”

The vibe around the football facilities this weekend was obvious, with “we got Arch.” Everyone was happy and for good reason.

Hill Jr has one more visit, to Texas A&M in late July. But right now, Hill Jr’s timeline is anytime, his father told IT.

Gerry Hamilton on Shelby:

Spoiler

Just spoke with On3 Consensus 4-star EDGE Braylan Shelby ... "Arch is calling me tonight."

BTW, think Shelby commits sooner, and doesn't make that late July Texas A&M visit. Texas v USC. Texas did very well this weekend.

What are you? A goddamn goldfish?

You've shared with us that you think coaches should recruit the most skilled players they can at every position.

Now you share that on the field performance as it relates to recruiting is some subtle observation that escapes our memories. We should be thankful that you are here to remind us.

If you're going to be obvious, at least attempt to be clever.

Also, you don't need and before yet.

Edit to add:

Yes it was but it had some holes that we need to fill this year. That's what will excite me.

I'd like to sign up for the newsletter on what will excite you. Also, is there a streaming service on your level of excitement? I'd like to keep track of that in real time.

You don't have to be thankful for anything. I just expressed my opinion on something that is slightly different from the rest of the group. Is that not allowed? What I said is what most others outside of this ecochamber is saying. Anyway, I am out.

I agree and I am waiting to see what happens with other positions.

Negged for thinking your drawing criticism is due to having a different opinion. You add nothing but blather. Where is the opinion in wishing we recruited highly talented guys and thinking everybody forgets the importance of recruiting on a recruiting thread?

It's rare to see such unjustified superciliousness.

It's been 3 days since he committed.

I actually agree with Nahlin here. These 2 behemoths are relatively pet projects for Flood. The upside is sky high and at worse you have space eaters that have at least shown the ability to play with a nasty streak.

If you line up 5 guys across that are all 6’5’’+ and 330lbs+ Like Flood wants to do, it is going to look like the great wall of China to the Techs and Iowa States of the world. Even if some of those guys are slow footed guards, all they have to do is fall forward for three quarters and then we break them in the fourth.

I said this before, but some people on this board would bitch about Kate giving them a blowjob. 

Some people on this board reminds me of permabulls on stocktwits. Management can never do anything wrong and shoot down anyone questioning them. Then they find themselves down 90%. 😂

Nobody is thinking this about OL recruiting.

Everyone knows the in-state OL talent is down this year and Texas wouldn't be able to land the same talent as last year. That doesn't disprove these are still good takes under the circumstances. 

I don't even follow recruiting closely and I know this. Nobody here is upset over your negativity it's that you're clueless.
