Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

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

He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

You need to take at least 3 on the interior. There is a chance 3 are gone after this year. Texas only took 1 last year, so 3 seems like the minimum to me. On the edge, Texas has Sorrell and bunch of question marks. I am happy to throw numbers at those spots (4), until the pups show a pulse. Landing someone like Colin Simmons could lower that number. 

Agree 100%, i would even take 4 interior DTs but we should save a spot for the portal to get someone with experience so they can play quality snaps in 24. So HS 3 DTs unless someone amazing like McKinley wants in at the end after we have a great 2023 season on the field.

Where is the link to our spreadsheet showing the numbers at each position?

Dont have a spreadsheet but here are the 3 people that will have to play in 2024

Trill Carter - Sr

Aaron Bryant - 3rd years Sophomore

Sydir Mitchell - 2nd year likely Sophomore

more than likely Alfred Collins and Byron Murphy will be gone. Broughten should be out or not good enough to give quality snaps. Zach Swanson- who knows. 

We have 3 guys we can rely on, need 2 more for sure(1 portal , 1 True Fr) assuming no injuries. DT will be thin in 2024 regardless, need 1 portal guy to play a decent amount.

IMO they will load up at all positions across the defensive front this cycle. 

Apparently Danny Okoye plays wide receiver for his home school 7on7 team in Oklahoma at 6'5 230. Wells is going to watch his 7on7 game tonight.

Damn, someone really decided their mascot was going to be the fucking Zebras? What the fuck? That's gotta be one of the least intimidating mascots I've ever seen.

Well the 6’5” black dude probably helps with the intimidation.

My brother's high schools mascot was the Zebras. They were pretty bad at sports.

We might need more than that.

I think we need to sign 3-4 to play on the inside, and add an xer or two for 24.

2 @ LB
3-4 @ Buck/ Jack with a xfer for 24.

Grandview Zebras won back to back 3A state championships in football in 2018 and 2019. They have a good program.

I think one of Murphy/Collins returns.  Could play out like Sweat this past season.  One of them isn't going to start like Sweat last year and could come back in 24 to start/improve draft status.

That maybe what you want but we don’t have that many numbers to give at this time. 3 Hs DTs. (4 high level DTs might not come anyway). Definitely 1 portal DT no matter what, would not be mad if they went for 2(assuming Murphy and Collins leave) but it’s hard to find quality DTs.

If it is Collins who returns, so what, it would be a avg/below avg player returning. If he is half decent he will go pro after this year. Been waiting for 3 years for him to put it together.

So with Hampton, I know that he is a headcase that has immaturity issues and thats why we backed off. If there are other reasons, early riser who had others catch up, etc., let me know. But if that is the case, why does he continue to get recruited by Bama and Texas and seemingly have the option to commit. There seems to be some disconnect here that I don't understand. Is it just a week ATH class and the schools think they can get him on the right path once here? Thanks.

He has great physical/athletic evaluations but his mental evaluation is HUGE red flag. With everything in sports the former kind of overtakes the latter.

Ok, so I was in the ballpark. The coaches clearly think they can handle him once on campus.

Gerry/Justin mentioned that they're not sure if our staffs timeline matches up with Aeryn's commitment timeline....

AKA his red flags mean the staff want to keep him warm and see how things shake out with the roster. Analyze said roster and assess if said potential juice is worth the squeeze.

I hope that things work out for Hampton.  He's obviously got an unsteady home life.  He needs a steadying influence.  Maybe that could be at Texas.  Right now kids seem to like it here.

The best thing for him might be to come here. Keep his head down. Say yes sir and do everything the staff says.

Im pulling for him and hope his red flags aren't too hard to overcome.

So you’re saying 3+2 and I’m saying 3-4 + 1-2. I think we’re saying the same thing.

We should have the room - and we’re going to need all that beef.

I was at a playoff game in the Alamodome about 15 years ago and the game before us was New Braunfels High vs Alamo Heights

 

The Unicorns vs the Mules.

It's clear some of y'all have never heard of the Itasca Wampus Cats.

There are some great Texas HS mascot names out there.

Mason Punchers that play in the Puncherdome is probably my favorite.

The best paired name is Winters Blizzards.

Fuck Texas City, their mascot killed Steve Irwin :(

I'm not even sure either school would take his commitment.  Players that don't have it from the mental evaluation stand point have a very high bust ratio.  I'm guessing the staff wants to take a swing at Stone, Wingo, and Hudson before moving to back up options.

They should play the Hutto Hippos. Zebras vs Hippos. What a game that would be.
