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.

Because he was playing safety this year for his HS team. He's a CB at the next level.

He's like 6'2 200 already. His recovery speed is questionable as well. We'll see where his body takes him. Wouldn't be the worst thing to see him become a safety/nickel.

He was literally moved there because he plays at a small school and he would be more effective there at that level. You're way overthinking this. Texas is recruiting him to play corner, only.

Cool. How big is Ryan Watts?

Because we've done something in the past, doesn't mean we'll always do something in the future. I understand your point though.

I'm not overthinking anything. He's a big kid, and I'd love for him to play corner and be a standout there. Where he is recruited and where he ends up being effective aren't always the same thing.

Hopefully he has a good career at Texas playing corner, if that's where he ends up.

It would be great, if Texas started to collect the type of talent to be able move someone like Kobe Black inside. Given his size and athleticism, Nickel seems a like a great fit.. Either way it doesnt matter, you get a kid like that on campus and let his body figure out where he is going to end up.

Is there a reason 247 often mentions Kobe Black as a Safety instead of a CB?

 

 

they qualify him as a safety

image.png.efbc1a1fd034a805f83729e4ba7c6fc6.png

on3 has him as a CB, ESPN has him as a CB and Rivals has him as a CB

image.png.02b784c3e5251551fdea9bccaa5341c5.png

he calls himself a CB, he's being recruited as a CB...

here is his scouting report on 247 which calls him a safety

image.png.598c4dde90dbf3fffd74345ca4826baa.png

its weird. someone should ask the 247 guys to expand on why he's classified that way

He is being specifically recruited to replace Watts. So, it does mean they want to do something in the future.

I would not bet on that. Coaches are doing their job and pointing out that a starter is leaving and a spot is open. I am not convinced that Brooks (Field) and Muhammad (Boundary) will stay at their specific positions. Black is a big bodied CB, that is either a boundary or will slide inside. Wilson, Mack, and Black will likely all start at CB, but it is highly unlikely they all stay there.  There is no reason to get get caught up about specific positions now.  I would love for Texas to get back to the days of Akina, when the safeties had CB skills..

Top247 WR Drelon Miller considering several options

Mike Roach (247 Sports)
 

Drelon Miller will take an official visit to Colorado this weekend, but the race for the Top247 wide receiver out of Silsbee (Texas) is just heating up. Miller is one of the top uncommitted players remaining in the state of Texas.

Miller chose Texas A&M over the summer, but he decommitted from the Aggies during the fall season amid team struggles that ultimately led to the firing of head coach Jimbo Fisher. Colorado made a push from that point on and hosted Miller on an unofficial visit when the Buffs hosted Oregon State. Colorado will try to make a big push this weekend during the official visit.

At 6-feet, 190 pounds, Miller is ranked as the No. 14 wide receiver in the nation and No. 12 overall prospect in Texas, according to 247Sports. 247Sports caught up with sources near the recruitment to hear the latest on where things stood with Miller. With the early signing period approaching and more schools entering the race, there may be a change in plans for the four-star All-American.

A source near Miller said that Ohio State recently entered the picture, and the family is coordinating with the Buckeyes for a possible future visit. LSU and USC have been long-time contenders and remain in the race as well. As previously reported, Texas has been in contact as well, and Miller could set up a visit to Austin in the next month.

Texas A&M remains in the race following his decommitment, but the source we spoke with indicated that Miller is in a holding pattern with Texas A&M until he sees how Mike Elko's offensive staff comes together in College Station. Once those hires are made, I wouldn't rule out a return visit for Miller to Aggieland.


The biggest change could be in Miller's decision timeframe. He was previously slated to enroll early at the college level, but the sources we spoke with indicated Miller is leaning toward staying in high school and playing his final high school basketball season. With that in mind, the timeline for Miller could stretch to February's National Signing Day and extend his visits through the month of January.

Same as last year, Big 12 shafted us by giving CotY to Gundy instead of Sark. People love to talk about how Gundy had to deal with various problems and led Okie Lite out of a rough patch to reach the Big 12 title game... but never mention how most of those problems were of his own doing.

Had to deal with losing multiple transfers? No one asked Gundy to drive off half his roster with OANN bullshit.

Had to come back from a 2-2 start? No one asked Gundy to get throttled by South Alabama and UCF. How the fuck do you lose to a C-USA team and win CotY? Absolute embarrassment.

The dogshit was of his own making because he ran so many players off.

Not saying he didnt, but this isnt a good OSU team. OSU has no business being in the Big 12 Championship game with their overall talent.  Texas should be there, so I have 0 issues that Gundy got it over Sark.

Great post. And now I'm confused that I find myself agreeing with everything you said, when I fully expected a long winded explanation of how Gundy did a superior coaching job to Sark this season for the opposite of all the things you said.

From my understanding Miller was never an early enrollee. He's been the PG at Silsbee since his freshman year and they are ranked #2 in the state. The NIL guys here might know more about this but I have heard Texas has made an offer to Miller.

I'm kind of baffled that you guys are upset about Eleven Win Etienne getting the CoTY shaft. Texas is leaving the conference. Other coaches, generally meatheads and sociopaths, are expected to vote an outgoing coach as the best coach in the conference? They need all the help in recruiting that they can get. "Hey, you know what would be really smart? Naming the UT coach as the best coach this year. There's no way that would ever be used against us in the portal or recruiting, right?"

The shaft was to burt auburn breaking and setting a new Texas and big 12 record for most made fg consecutively and the most in a season. Doesn’t win STpoy

He was 1st team kicker. 

I'm actually shocked at how well Texas players were awarded by the league. I figured all of them would get shafted like Ewers and Jones.
