Counts against 25 Count for 2021 Class... Grad Transfer CB from McNeese State.  Flipped from NCState

For those banging on Charlie Wright, remember we signed a physically unimposing QB from pissant Jim Ned back in the day.

Yup. Thank God. Fuck whoever was posting that shit about him taking Texas stuff off his Twitter and RTing OU tweets.

At the end of the day, it's about developing the people you have. Please for the love of God, can we just develop the kids that want to be Longhorns? 5 stars don't mean shit, if you can't develop the talent.

I used to agree with this assertion, but guys who follow recruiting closely write about why "stars matter". No doubt, we need to better develop the talent we have.

Yeah, somewhere in here the old "silk purse-sow's ear" metaphor applies.

ESPN has him near the top 200 - 247 doesn't even have him as a 4 star and much closer to 400 than 300. 

Seems like a weird discrepancy - anyone know why?

Just really glad to see this class is nowhere near a dumpster fire.  Lacks some offense but solid on the other side.  

[CfRhTxStBobcats 600]

Nice to see the kids that commit to the school despite who the coach for the time being. They must feel there's better days and coaching ahead.

Yeah, pleasantly surprised that all are signed except Ish...

Might end up being one of my favorite classes because during this Mensa mess, most stayed committed and signed with TEXAS. 🤘

[MoJames 8,244]

Good stuff. When will we get the recap on LHN with Herman? I mean the team was cleared on Tuesday to practice, right? So I'm sure we will get some sort of zoom recap with the coach.

In the way that Herman lacks some self awareness and humility.

Idk if this was already answered above, bit what happened with WR Keithron Lee? Is he waiting for NSD2 or did he sign with someone else?

One of my friends is a former Longhorn who has watched this kid develop and says that he's not only become a super player but that he's considerably larger than Colt was when he saw Colt play in the state basketball championship at the Erwin Center his senior year.  Says Colt couldn't have gone more than a buck 70 and he was thinking "this scrawny kid is going to be a D-1 QB?"  He was thinking Colt was an insurance policy for Perilloux.

We signed a D and some offensive question marks.

Pretty much everyone thought that. And I think a lot of people thought he wouldn't be able to hold off Jevan Snead. Who I just looked up and forgot had died. Sad shit. 

[MoJames 8,244]

Who again was the insurance policy for Garrett Gilbert?

This angers me because Sherrod Harris should have been before Gilbert.

Off topic but damn, I didn't know he committed suicide.

Looking at 247, and they have Schooler as part of the 21 class. That can’t be right can it?
