On OL, Uini is highly rated (didn't someone on here who's seen him play say he wasn't impressed?).  Cruz seems like a guy who will shoot up the rankings and he's the #1 IOL on the board.  Ory Williams is a 4* and probably a good bet to end up in the class.  Think they like the OL from the same school as Sydir Mitchell.

How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

2024 is a much weaker class in-state than any of the last 3. 

At OL, there’s Daniel Cruz and then developmental guys. 

At DT, the January guy is probably a take for the class because he’s a legacy and could develop. That’s about it. 

The edge guy from Duncanville will be a pure “NIL” based auction. Not much behind him either. 

They need to land their top targets in-state and then win with the national targets. Losing Woodyard isn’t a good start. This class runs the risk of being a top 15-ish class unless they close really well and/or win big on the field.

25 doesnt look much deeper, although the Mecca LB is a must have. 

I wonder if 24 and 25 are weak years around the whole country or just in Texas. The interesting thing about the 24 and 25 classes is they spent their entire freshman/8th grade years at home instead of in school like previous generations. It will be interesting in the future to study those effects on their development and if there just wont be as many large humans in those classes due to the environmental factors during the most crucial years of male development

I come to Surly for your stuff so I mean this with all due respect, but didn't we start off last cycle behind on a lot of guys that we ended up landing? I thought I remembered you writing that.

I understand that this year was deeper in state and that's an advantage for us.

Can we get the uini and woodyard scoop

Quote

2024 Michael Uini, OL, Copperas Cove (Texas)

Texas made the top 10 for the 2024 On3 Consensus’ No. 6 offensive tackle. They’d make a top three if there was one, too. The 6-foot-7, 275-pound four-star is very fond of Kyle Flood and the Longhorns. His relationship with the offensive line coach is the most important factor from a connection/trust standpoint. He visited last fall and has grown closer to the players and staff. TCU is also running strong, with Alabama and Georgia in the mix, but he Horns and Horned Frogs are pacing this race. 

Uini was invited to UT’s Junior Day on January 21st, and is looking to solidify transportation. Either way, Uini will be back in Austin to see the Horns again. He’s also expected in Fort Worth this spring. 

Texas has center prospect Daniel Cruz at the top of the in-state OL list. From there, it comes down to who Texas will push in-state with the expectation that the Horns will look to ink three from inside the state lines in the 2024 cycle. Uini and Sugar Land (Texas) Fort Bend Christian’s Bennett Warren fit the “large humans” profile to develop. Texas hasn’t offered the 6-foot-7, 310-pound Warren yet, but he will be in Austin January 21. 

...

2024 Peyton Woodyard, S, Bellflower (Calif.) St John Bosco

Another top Texas target is announcing on Saturday in San Antonio, the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder and On3’s No. 2 safety is ready to make his announcement. He’ll join a select few underclassman who have announced their commitment at the All-American Bowl.

Woodyard dropped a top schools list in December and UT didn’t make the cut. That has since changed as the Longhorns are considered to be in the final two. 

IT heard through multiple sources that Texas was in a favorable position on December 21. Fast forward two weeks, and we hear Woodyard has told both Texas and Georgia he is coming their way on January 7. Georgia is the most recent to hear that news. IT heard the Bulldogs were told he was headed to Athens on Thursday. 

 

All-American Bowl Combine Top Performers - On3

Quote

Talent from all over the United State flooded to San Antonio to test, work out and compete at the Combine. On3 had boots on the ground for Friday. Here are the top performers led by MVP Loghan Thomas.

On3 MVP: EDGE Loghan Thomas

On300 EDGE Loghan Thomas is next up for Katy (Texas) Paetow, which just graduated two of the nation’s best defenders at their respective positions in David Hicks Jr. and Daymion Sanford. Thomas arrived in San Antonio at a swollen 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, and it showed with an explosive first step and consistent wins against an array of tackles in the Dome. Thomas was quick around the edge and also showed he could win going inside as well. Thomas clocked a 4.7-secnd 40 time and also registered a 42-inch vertical. He’s a superb athlete flying off the edge. 

The top-20 EDGE in next year’s cycle seems poised for a breakout season and should draw the eyes of programs nationwide ahead of the season. Right now, SMU leads Texas Tech on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

2. CB Ricky Knight III

Ricky Knight might’ve arrived in San Antonio as a bit of an unknown, but by day’s end the entire audience in the Alamodome was aware of the 2024 cornerback who nabbed six interceptions, including three witnessed by this analyst, as well as a few more pass breakups. Knight, who checks in at 6-foot and 170 pounds, was sticky in coverage and consistently made plays on the football. The Florida native is quick and covers a ton of ground on the back end of the secondary.

3. EDGE Justin Greene

Consensus top-60 EDGE Justin Greene was a force coming off the edge and was among the most intriguing players at a premium position in attendance. The Peach State blue-chipper is light on his feet and used his hands to keep opposing tackles uneasy, and his steps came off calculated and purposeful en route to the QB. Greene comes suited with an array of pass-rush techniques and effectively used a spin move to bounce off linemen for a strong outing. South Carolina leads early on the RPM.

4. CB Travaris Banks

On300 CB Travaris Banks was especially fluid in coverage and kept the clamps on receivers from the start of the second portion of Friday’s combine. The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Northridge defensive back lined up outside at corner and also worked inside; regardless, Banks went stride for stride with receivers and actively shut down action in his lane. The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder moves effortlessly and has length to shadow receivers at a high rate. Alabama leads the way on the RPM for Banks.

5. OT Jonathan Daniels

Talented On3 top-50 junior OT Jonathan Daniels takes the lead amongst offensive linemen. The Pensacola (Fla.) Pine Forest tackle was superb battling different pass-rushers and anchored strong and was rarely rocked off of it. Daniels plays with a powerful foundation and is rock-steady when he’s set. The Consensus top-10 tackle handled stronger pass-rushers adeptly. USF leads Georgia on the RPM with several new contenders entering the mix.

6. ATH Jonah Williams (2025)

Like others at the Combine, Jonah Williams was not a household name at the start of Friday. By day’s end, the 2025 hybrid defender from Galveston (Texas) Ball. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder saw action at linebacker and safety and effectively made plays in coverage against an array of different pass-catchers. Williams is instinctive and also reactive, and managed an interception and several more pass deflections working in the middle of the field. He has size and is a playmaker that can fill in at multiple positions. He’s a stock-up candidate for the spring.

7. DL TJ Lindsey

TJ Lindsey made the trek from Bryant (Ark.) and provided a glimpse of the breakout season the top-30 junior defensive linemen had. Lindsey, who checked in at a massive 6-foot-5 and 250-pounds, was a terror off the edge and among the best defensive linemen in the Alamodome Friday. A tweener that can work from the 0-tech out to the 4, Lindsey possesses brute force and is deceptively nimble too. He was disruptive for 1-on-1s and should draw even more eyes with this movement at his size by the spring. The Irish lead heavily on the RPM.

8. WR Chanz Wiggins

Chanz Wiggins made a compelling case as one of the bigger-framed playmaking receivers at Friday’s Combine. The Consensus top-50 receiver in next year’s cycle from King George (Va.) High School possesses strong hands and is an exceptional athlete that came away with some of the top highlight-reel grabs on Friday as a whole. He boasts a ton of upside with size (6-foot-3, 190 pounds) and ball skills. Wiggins is the type of receiver that’s always open — even with a defensive back in his hip pocket. The in-state Cavaliers are early favorites for Wiggins on the RPM.

9. WR Andrew Marsh

The 2025 wide receiver from Katy (Texas) Jordan returned to Alamodome this January with a strong performance. Andrew Marsh, one of the Lone Star State’s best young receivers, was steady stretching the field and turned heads with his work underneath, too. Marsh stretched the field and made contested catches with hands in his face. He also ran crisp routes underneath, was explosive in and out of his breaks, separated effectively and was sure-handed throughout the event. LSU leads Oklahoma on the RPM for the Houston four-star WR early on.

10. TE Ivan Cerrean (Texas) Tech

Ivan Cerrean, an early Texas Tech commit out of West Texas, brings size and outstanding ball skills to the. Table at a 6-foot-3, 210-pound hybrid pass-catcher. Cerrean, who looks reps outside and also out of slot, is a massive target in the passing game with a vast catch radius and strong hats on the back end. Cerrean attacks the ball and can stretch the field, not to mention create mismatches on offense. 

Additional notes

  • Guy “Tre” Fernandez was among the most steady wide receivers on hand. The West Coast standout from West Hills (Calif.) native showcased some of the best hands, was exceptional coming away with contested grabs and was extremely effective reticulating in small spaces, in traffic in the middle of the field, and along the side. The 2024 wide receiver was polished and sure-handed, and played through contact a lot. Fernandez is a strong candidate to garner some college attention later on this spring. 
  • Jaylon Coleman, the electric scat-back from The Boot flashed speed and suddenness to attack downfield and make plays as a receiver out of the backfield. Jones is an explosive back from Houma (La.) Vanderbilt and looked the part in the Alamodome setting. 
  • 2026 Manvel QB Romin Seymour looks ready to suit up today with great size coming off his freshman seasn at Manvel (Texas) High. Seymour’s father played DL at Florida State, but the younger Seymour has poise, a big arm and exceptional athleticism at quarterback. He’ll garner lots of buzz once he settles in this spring.
  • Coming off his freshman campaign for Destrehan (La.), 2026 WR Jabari Mack was outstanding in 1-on-1s as a big-play threat that can take the top off the defense and on jump-balls on the perimeter. Mack has notable straight-line speed and great hand-eye coordination, and is one of Louisiana’s top playmakers in the 2026 class. 
  • Put 2025 Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake WR Travis Smith on the radar after the sophmore had a huge performance with big grabs downfield in the Dome. Smith stretches the field at 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds with outstanding ball skills and coordination on the back end.
  • 2025 Katy (Texas) Jordan WR Zecheriah Sample and Red Oak (Texas) WR Gracen Harris are two Lone Star State-based receivers that stood out. Sample clocked a 4.58 40 in the morning and was steady making plays underneath. Harris packs size and stretches the field, and has great coordination on top of it.
  • 2025 CB Ivan Taylor, the son of former Steelers great Ike Taylor, checked in with a great frame for a sophmore that also impressed in coverage. Taylor kept receivers in front of him and was reactive in coverage. Alabama, Michigan and Florida have all offered.
  • 2024 Tallahssee (Fla.) Lincoln OL Connor Gilbert turned some heads at left tackle during Friday’s second session. Gilbert packs an aggressive initial punch and achors well. The 6-fooot-6, 270-pounder also has a frame to work with.
  • 2024 Clay Chalkville (Ala.) LB Roderick Ivy also shined at linebacker in coverage. Ivy was sticky in coverage against backs and came away with an interception during 1-on-1s. He can move well and stick in back’s back-pocket, and he’s a candidate to see some college attention this spring.

They need to land their top targets in-state and then win with the national targets. Losing Woodyard isn’t a good start. This class runs the risk of being a top 15-ish class unless they close really well and/or win big on the field. 

It's surprising to me that we are so far behind so early in 2024 recruiting.  Pretty deflating update.

— I also spoke to a source regarding Bradenton (FL.) IMG Academy running back Jerrick Gibson. I’ve said in the past that the Longhorns have been able to run out in front of this recruitment with a few other schools, and a source near Gibson confirmed with me that the Longhorns are standing as well as any other school for the nation’s top back in 2024. They are joined by Tennessee and Georgia as well as Texas A&M which has been making a more recent push with Gibson. A big part of the Texas success has been Tashard Choice who is targeting Gibson as the top priority in this class and letting him know. It’s reminiscent of the way Choice targeted Cedric Baxter in the 2023 class and pursued him while telling others he wouldn’t be denied. If he can do it in back to back years, Choice will quickly solidify his name as a big game hunter.

— I spoke with a source near five-star Duncanville EDGE Colin Simmons during the week to see where things were with the Longhorns and the impact pass rusher. Despite the departure of Chris Gilbert who facilitated quite a bit of the recruitment in the past, Simmons said he’s becoming way more familiar with Pete Kwiatkowski, Jeff Banks and Steve Sarkisianwho are all heavily involved in things. Simmons will visit Georgia this week and look at some other options for trips during the spring. He said he’s a maybe at this point for the Texas Junior Day trip, but he likes what the Longhorns did on the field this year and is still very interested in Texas.

2024 is a much weaker class in-state than any of the last 3. 

At OL, there’s Daniel Cruz and then developmental guys. 

At DT, the January guy is probably a take for the class because he’s a legacy and could develop. That’s about it. 

The edge guy from Duncanville will be a pure “NIL” based auction. Not much behind him either. 

They need to land their top targets in-state and then win with the national targets. Losing Woodyard isn’t a good start. This class runs the risk of being a top 15-ish class unless they close really well and/or win big on the field. 

 

1. This is the best EDGE class in state in years. Legit at least six guys who are takes at the position. That almost never happens in the state of Texas

2. Uini, Cruz, and Casey Poe and the rest is meh in state. Flood will get his guys though, not worried about that 

3. DT in state also always sucks. That's why we got Bo Davis and Terry Joseph to recruit Louisiana and the deep south. Choice will be helpful in Florida 

4. WR and DB is very very good this year. Much better than last year, especially at WR 

5. Top 15ish? WTF are you talking about? Sark just stacked two top 3 classes together. Even the transition class was ranked 15th. A blind monkey can recruit a top 10 class at Texas. As long as we win on the field, this class will be top 5.

I believe that is exactly what @closetojumping said in the post you quoted.

I wanted to change the title today to Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Clearly Authentic but no edit function is available.

@SydneyCartonthis seems to be why he hasn't edited it. I think @immamacsaid editors should be able to edit thread titles. I think thats @RGBIIIand @closetojumping

I thought everyone could edit their own thread titles. Perhaps if he were Burnt Ends or Tree Fiddy...which is another criticism.
