It’s awesome that On3 can provide breaking news like this on Texas recruits. It’s a real shame they don’t have a Texas-specific site with the ability to deliver this kind of information.

Jimbo only got blown off the field 3 times and only to the best teams on the road: @#1 Bama 45-23 2018, @#2 LSU 50-7 2019, @#2 Bama 52-24 2020.

aggy can and will do a lot worse than Jimbo.

He got blown off the field to a 7-5 Miami team this year.

Adding Black, Filsaime, and Smith would bring the class to this total:

 

 

I'm not sure if we will be able to pass the top 4 but should finish 5th. Only way we could finish 4th or higher is a Ryan Williams flip I think or a 5 star guy like Dominick McKinley would push us ahead but who knows how that one is going to go. 

Adding a Solomon Williams or Terrance HIbbler would push us barely ahead of Bama and slightly behind FSU. Adding both pushes us slightly ahead of FSU.

Jasper is really weird-back when I was in school they were in our district and regularly curb stomped us in any sports where you just had to run fast (particularly football and track).  I didn’t realize they had any white kids at all until I went to their high school for an Ag competition (and all of them better fit your description).

I remember being a HS freshmen, I think? Watching Burnet play Jasper at Kyle Field when they had Jorrie, Red, and the other big dude that ended up at A&M. Jordan Shipley had like 200 yards at halftime and spanked the shit out of Jasper.

Sports are pretty segregated there.  The white kids generally play baseball.  And the black kids generally play football.  It is a weird town.

Also not shocking but they were pretty terrible at any academic competitions.  Silsbee was also garbage except for Mark Henry. 

Anyway, back to recruiting, I'm not shocked when a guy from there finds College Station more familiar.  Austin (particularly now) is just a whole different world.

We don’t need to free up another spot.  We only have 20 commits.

For context, Sark took 25 last year and 28 the year before that.

It's very interesting to follow, to say the least.  IMO with his speed and athleticism I think he'd be a perfect fit at safety that we can develop.

Alabama is desperate for playmakers. Skill position development is lacking there.

I couldn't find a less interesting thing to follow, actually. 

And you know if one thing screams "safety that we can develop," which usually implies stashing and developing for a couple years with mostly special team work, it's fucking flake.

I don't know how you cannot see Saban and Sark fighting over a recruit with so many red flags as not interesting. He's being recruited as an "ATH" at both programs. I'm not saying I'm keeping up with every small tiny detail but just watching from the side.

Because I don't give a fuck if we land him or not. Therefore any process leading up to it has zero interest to me. I'm sure there's plenty of drama that amuses you when you and the Mrs. sit down to binge watch Sister Wives, but to be honest since that's not a show I'll ever watch, I wouldn't be all too interested if you start typing a play by play or recap on Surly, either.

And don't take that as some kind of invitation, you sick Sister Wives watching fuck.

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.

It sounds like this has essentially boiled down to a turf war, with more coming in East Texas and across the southeast. 

In the 2021 cycle, Bama signed 7 players from the state of Texas. In 2022 cycle, they signed one, Jam Miller, and they had to pony up and work their ass off to beat Texas for him. In the 2023 cycle, they took 2. Texas made Alabama hustle to land Jalen Hale and then Texas showed that they were gaslighting Bama on their desire for the player by bailing on the in-home the morning of the visit. The other guy was Jordan Renaud who was old-school delivered early. In 2024, they have an IOL that Texas was never interested in from the Metroplex. Hampton matters on some level beyond his own value.

This is the kind of shit that we longed for staffs to do at Texas. Send the message - You can come in to this state, but it is going to be a fucking fistfight if we have interest in the player too. You can't beat us with the under the table shit anymore and we are winning on the field too. Get fucked and go elsewhere, motherfuckers.

i'm just glad we have some coaches that are actually war vets now, instead of hoping Mehringer could go out there and win a rock fight

I don't have positive views towards him other than physical upside. He seems Bobby Brown ish. Was just curious if he was doing the LJ Johnson, which as far as I know has only happened once with a major recruit

Per my kids that go to school with Freddie, he supposedly is graduating early and enrolling. The same kids wear hoodies and crocs everyday so who knows for sure.

Is there a limit on the number of EEs a team can have?  I thought I remember a few years ago that early enrollees count towards a previous year's class.  Not necessarily a "numbers" question but a "numbers question".

No they did away with that policy. Just have to be 85 or below by fall camp.
