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.

I gotta get that Sark q-zip. 

Imagine being such a top flight athlete that you can meet a multi millionaire coach who flies across the country to see you in your house in a pair of pajama pants.

This is correct. But now there are shoes called Natives that use a similar material and style without looking like it was dreamt up by a crackhead that work well for kids. And they don't fly off. 

If as a mature teen or adult you wear crocs or heydude shoes, you need to be pushed off a cliff before reproducing. 

We had a pedophile in court not long ago wearing Hey Dudes. Just saying.

I own a pair of crocs but only wear them at the coast when we go surf fishing/camping. Can someone educate me why people hate hey dudes? I don't own a pair but know a few people that wear them and they look innocuous enough. I don't understand why the controversy.

Eight year olds, dude.

I'm almost certain he'll be fired mid season next year. The only question is: after which game?

image.png.e4c3f3db6f8bbabd3ea9f432d83c0149.png

they have a pretty damn tough schedule next year, which i think we have talked about some

@Tenn, FSU, Texas

home vs Miami, Ole Miss, LSU + the usual neutral site vs UGA

for the last 3 years they have had their bye week the week before Georgia, which in 2024 would be the 10/26 weekend. so that's a good guess

here is his buyout info:
 

Quote

 

If he’s fired after 2023, Billy Napier will be owed a buyout of $31.875M. That’s because there would be $37.5M left to pay him over the remaining five years on his contract, and 85% of 37.5 is 31.875. Translation: Florida’s not paying that. Sure, this is disappointing second season #2 in a row for Billy Napier after a largely underwhelming first season, but Florida’s simply not paying that. Point blank. It’s not even worth discussing.

So let’s start the breakdown after 2024, which is the earliest it’s feasibly possible for Florida to fire him without cause.

After 2024: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $25,670,000 (85% of 30.2M)

After 2025: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $19,380,000 (85% of 22.8M)

After 2026: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $13,005,000 (85% of 15.3M)

After 2027: Billy Napier’s buyout would be $6,545,000 (85% of 7.7M)

Stampede

Spoiler

Since the news broke on Monday, Nov. 27 that Florida defensive backs coach Corey Raymond would be relieved of his coaching duties, Texas has been trending to flip McKinney five-star safety Xavier Filsaime off of his commitment to the Gators.

Filsaime has been committed to the Gators since April 13 but has taken visits to USC and Texas in the last two months, with his trip to Texas remaining a secret until that visit had concluded. It was the first visit Filsaime took to the Forty Acres, and in the time since the Longhorns were working to get the five-star to return to Austin for an official visit.

With dates set for the five-star to be in Austin for an official visit the weekend of Dec. 15-17, it certainly looks like the Texas staff will accomplish their goal of getting Filsaime back on the Forty Acres.

While other programs like Georgia, Oregon, and SMU found themselves somewhat involved following the firing of Raymond, it’s well-established behind the scenes and on the record that this is a two-team race between Texas and Florida.

With signing day less than 10 days away on Dec. 20, anything can happen as the recruiting world has shown time and time again, but for now, Texas is clearly trending for the five-star from the DFW metroplex and thus I’ve entered in a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction in favor of the Longhorns to flip Filsaime off of his Florida pledge with a confidence level of 6.

Texas continues its hunt for defensive linemen in the class of 2024. On Thursday, defensive line coach Bo Davis stopped off in Lexington, Miss. to see four-star Mississippi State commit Terrance Hibbler. The Longhorns have actively recruited the 6-foot-3, 285-pounder for some time now, including hosting Hibbler on an official visit in the summer, even after he had already pledged to the Bulldogs. Of course, MSU has gone through a coaching transition with Jeff Lebby now leading the program. Hibbler is coming off a return official visit to Starkville this past weekend that, by all accounts, looks to have gone well. We caught up with one source this weekend to ask about Hibbler’s status with the Bulldogs and whether Texas is making any headway. They replied, “I think anything can happen, Bo is doing a great job recruiting him.” We’ll be on the lookout to see whether Sark makes a visit out the Magnolia State this week. -- Hank South  

Horns247 recently took the temperature of five-star defensive back Kobe Black's recruitment ahead of an original commitment date of Nov. 29. The announcement got pushed back to Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 4:15 p.m. CT, but the temperature is holding steady in the oven. The Longhorns have been trending in this recruitment since the summer, based off his relationship with the staff, including Terry Joseph and Steve Sarkisian, Black's friends and former teammates on the roster at Texas, as well as the need. A pledge from Black would vault Texas' 2024 class into the top five as things currently stand based off the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings. -- Hank South

Longhorns special teams and tight ends coach Jeff Banks visited five-star Georgia linebacker commit Justin Williams last week in the Houston area. “They just said basically if anything changes let us know, but we really want you,” Williams told Horns247 of his time spent with Banks. As we’ve reported here in the past, flipping Williams was always going to be a tall task. That remains the case today. Williams said he has no plans to officially visit Texas this weekend. “I’m locked in with Georgia,” he said. Williams was unsure whether or not Sark would be in this week to visit with him. -- Hank South 

A little bit of a rehash, but Horns247 recently reported that despite Florida working on getting four-star running back and Texas commit Jerrick Gibson to campus for an official visit, the Gibson family opted to take no more visits and focus on getting ready for the move to Austin. Gibson hopes to enroll in time to join the team for bowl practices, but he’ll be with the program in January regardless. Running backs coach Tashard Choice has obviously played a major role here in both landing Gibson and holding off the hometown Gators from flipping the talented ball carrier.

Based on that schedule, he will be gone after the FSU game. But, if he loses to UCF watch out.

247 is saying that Ryan Williams will take visits to Alabama, Auburn, Texas, Georgia and LSU before signing. 

Please lord. 

so a NSD2 signing day (2/7/24) after the reclassification.

8 weekends between now and then, which includes Christmas, so really 7.

NSD1 is 12/20-12/22, not sure why he would take a visit this weekend, before anyone signs, so that bumps it down to 6 viable weekends

  • 12/30
  • 1/6
  • 1/13
  • 1/20
  • 1/27
  • 2/3

will be very interesting to see how this works out and where he goes when.

December 18th through Jan 11 is a Dead/Quiet period - no OVs.

But visits don't have to happen on weekends.

well shit. struckthrough my initial post

for sure visits don't have to happen on the weekends, but works out way better in general to have it during the weekends and to try and extend the time you have him on campus with an OV instead of on a Tuesday. probably works better for players too?

changes weekend timeframes to

  • 1/13
  • 1/20
  • 1/27
  • 2/3

let's see who gets the last visit and who gets the weekday visit.

guessing we see some dates start to leak right after nsd1 to build some hype.

I know nothing about the what Williams is prioritizing but based on the schools he's visiting this is about to be a major $ play. 

everyone under the sun says he's a great WR who does some wild shit. $$$ play and actually incredible player. first sophomore in Alabama state history to be named Mr. Football.

Quote

Eric Collier of Thedore High School has coached for more than 25 years. So, it speaks volumes when he says that Ryan Williams is the unlike any other player he's coached against. "He's the most dynamic kid I've ever seen," Collier told AL.com. Williams became the first sophomore ever to be named Mr. Football by the Alabama Sports Writers Association after he recorded 42 touchdowns in the 2022 season. He also helped Saraland High School to a 14-1 record and the school's first state championship. "He has the potential to be the best wide receiver ever to come out of Mobile," Collier continued. "I coached against Julio (Jones), and he was big and strong, but this kid is so dynamic. Honestly, the sky is the limit." Williams was also only the second underclassmen ever to be named Mr. Football. "He is great off the line of scrimmage," Saraland coach Jeff Kelly said. "People don’t have an easy time pressing him. He is able to separate on balls down the field. He makes the contested catch. I think what really sets him apart is the competitive nature that he rolls in with every day."

247:
 

Quote

 

Electric playmaker with excellent top-end speed and make-you-miss elusiveness. Requisite height and length on a sinewy, wiry frame that will hold some more mass.

Dynamic receiver outside or in the slot with personnel flexibility to take hand-offs now and then. Enormously productive with high per-touch rates. Provides an immediate return game option at the next level.

Outstanding track and field profile with sub-10.5 100-meter PR, 21.2 200-meter range, sub-48.00 400-meter speed, and a 6-8 high jump. Field speed corresponds as he does not get run down in any situation vs. high school competition.

Nuclear explosion out of cuts. Rare stop-start ability with limited gear-down preceding eruptive burst. Quickly negates cushion and stretches the field vertically with blow-by speed.

If you're nitpicking, can add some bulk and strength that should come with further physical development. Occasionally displays some lower-half tightness in the knees and ankles, but in-space agility and juking ability do not seem to suffer.

Entering his junior season, looks like one of the nation's top receivers -- and top overall prospects -- in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Projects as a high-major impact player with high-round NFL Draft upside.

 

i think CTJ had some more info on his from the alabama side but i'm too lazy to go look for it

Wells said he expects “Alabama or Auburn” when it's all said and done.
