Not long ago we were in his top three with UGA and Tennessee.  Looked on Volnation, and someone posted from a Tennessee mod that the Vols staff has basically screwed up his recruitment, so who knows?  Kid did visit aggy for the LSU game.

I know Gerry mentioned recently that Gibson was at the Tennessee/Bama game and he felt like Tennessee was a real player, so not sure if the screwup happened recently or had been smoothed over.

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.

This is what I saw on the Tennessee board.  The first and last lines are from I think a Vols 247 mod.

Good family. Dad is still a big advocate for Texas program.  Older brother went to Bishop Lynch and is at SMU.  Younger brother went to Duncanville instead of BL or Bishop Dunne solely for the Panther's football program. Texas would definitely have the inside-track if and when it comes to that.

We need three DL for this class and hoping he's one.  Seems to have a mid 3* rating for now, but like I said he looked real good in the State Championship game.

I expect Texas to go big across the board in this class outside of QB. I'll be surprised if isn't a big class with a ton of star power, provided Texas isn't shitting the bed on the field during the season. 

25 guys:

QB (1) - I am interested to see how they frame up their targets at QB in this cycle. Seems like a mystery right now.

TB (2) - Is Brooks good enough to have a big year and go pro? Maybe. I will be surprised if there isn't attrition in some way. Maybe Wisner switches positions? Regardless, they like to use a stable of backs, so I assume the approach to this cycle - take the biggest talent you can find and then find a guy that complements him and the roster.

TE (2) - I guess I might adjust this if Duce Robinson somehow signs in Feb. Sanders could easily go pro after next year. Does Juan Davis decide to move on at some point? I have to assume Liebrock eventually runs out of eligibility. They seem to like having one in-line guy and several guys they can flex, so I'm guessing they're always going to want 5-6 on the roster.

WR (3) - Worthy, Whittington, and Neyor will all for sure be gone. That leaves you with the 2 incoming FR, Red, Thompson, and, if we're to believe it, Cain and Alexis. I assume of the 2 transfers in this cycle at WR that they're targeting, they think is a multi-year guy. That gives you 7 WRs for 2024. I doubt they're all here then, so 3 incoming freshmen seems more likely than less than that. 

OL (4) - Without anyone leaving, Texas has 16 OLs for 2023. They'll all be eligible to return for 2024. Let's assume 3 leave for whatever reason - PT, injury, you name it. Seems like keeping the number each year between 16-18 is the staff's desire. I would expect that they're going to go after really big names across the country at this spot. You can argue to any recruit that they'll get a development year and then be as ready as anyone to start once the upperclassmen leave after their freshman year.

IDL (3) - They'll have Mitchell, Murphy, Bledsoe, Ross, Broughton and Bryant coming back for 2024 without any attrition. We all know there will be attrition here, so let's call it 2 guys. There is a sentiment that they need to land guys that Clemson, Georgia and Bama are targeting in this next cycle and anything below that will be troubling.

DE/Edge/Whatever the fuck (2) - There will be like 11 guys coming back in 2024 for the jack and buck roles. Some of those guys will leave early for PT. Still, with that many guys, I assume Davis likes his options. More than 2 in this cycle would surprise me, but maybe when I think about this more in the spring I'll see it differently.

LB (3) - I like what they're doing at LB, but they're going to need to keep building depth here. Athletic LBs also tend be really helpful on special teams even if they're young and behind on the depth chart. Coming back for the 2024 will be, apparently, Trevell Johnson, Derrick Brown, Hill, Burrell, and Lefau. I assume Ford goes pro then if he doesn't now. That's terrible depth so they'll also do something in the portal. Still, 3 guys in the 2024 class seems straightforward. 

CB (2) - Texas has a lot of guys returning, on paper, for the 2024 season in the secondary. We're absolutely going to witness attrition in these spots.

NB (1)

S (2)

"this" year = class of 2024

"last" year = class of 2023 as of 12/27/22

  • QB: 4 offers out, including Sayin (Bama commit) and Raiola. Other 2 is Jaydn Davis (top 20 QB) and Trey Owens from Cy Fair is the only in state QB with an offer right now. currently 69th in state in composite
  • RB: 11 total offers last year, already have 8 offers this year - 2 from Texas, like 4 from Florida
  • TE: 3 TE's claim offers, none from Texas and 1 who is a UGA commit (14 offers last year)
  • WR: 15 offers (vs 26 last year) from across everywhere. Hudson is obviously the big name here.
  • OT: 6 offers currently, 17 offers last year
  • IOL:5 current offers vs 8 last year
  • IDL: 12 current vs 29 last year
  • Edge: 4 vs 27 last year
  • LB: 9 vs 16 last year
  • CB: 11 offers vs 21 last year
  • S:11 offers vs 17 last year
  • ATH: 14 offers, this is where 247 has Modden, but he is recruited as a WR i think?. had 6 offers last year.

i assume that Sark moving forward is going to be pretty specific around QB's that get offered, i assume we are not star chasing with Ewers/Arch on campus. 

last year I think they locked in on the RB grouping vs this year have much more of a sprinkling of offers. if the RB room goes off i assume they will get more national big names interested.

OL recruiting is different every year based on need - super highlighted by 22 vs 23.

i don't know enough about defense other than what has already been said (need to recruit actual top DL/edgE guys)

was last year the first cycle post COVID to have no real impact on summer recruiting camps? or will this year be?

in theory, this should be what we have all always wanted staff and recruiting wise: recruit Texas well and then cherry pick nationally where needed (Thank God)

How do you guys have time to go to other boards? I'm doing my best to keep up with the Beard thread I have no time to spare on random SEC boards.

Tigerdroppings is crowing about how they are going to get Colin Simmons.  A lot of that is based off of a LSU pick from Wiltfong back in thr summer.  

Well, there's this tweet that On3 posted today too. For whatever that is worth.

I mean... maybe? I don't know. I'm skeptical whenever someone posts something like "he would have committed here already but for X, Y, and Z." It always sounds like false confidence and/or sour grapes to me. It looks stupid when other teams' $9.95er do it. It looks stupid when our $9.95ers do it. And it looks especially aggy when aggy $9.95ers do it.

I'm not sure if Gerry was being facetious to the guy who kept shitting on Moore non stop but he said Moore and Duce are closely related.

Yeah, if signing Moore helps deliver Robinson and Woodyard, utwuz should have to fist himself.

I don't know why, it seems like all the joy of this is being sucked out of this for me. Normally I would have been like " all right we made the cut! " but now I'm just ... Whatever.

It'll probably come down to us, Bama, and Tennessee, and maybe UCLA now that they got their 5* QB

Am I just still drunk, or just missing it? I only see 14 school logos. 

Maybe he’s letting the “Clemson” logo do double duty? I only see 14 plus his helmet. I feel like there’s a disconnect. (Apparently, because I’m not a young ‘un.)

Cruz is a center, right? I also wonder if we'll get January to commit during Junior day for some moment based on Gerrys RPM. Aren't we the leader for Woodyard, but he's not expected in?

IT said he was invited, not confirmed yet

6'7, 305... I know how this goes LOL

I keep waiting for flood to lose his mind and offer a 5’11’’ tree trunk that gets under everyones pads and moves them 10 yards downfield. We could call him pocket hercules.
