I played against Brees in high school and he absolutely strafed us. The most accurate QB I have ever seen in person. He was so small, when I got to him I literally flipped him on a sideline run, but the problem was you just never could get there because he had an enormous line and he dropped 12 yards back. I knew he was going to be awesome for some school but wasnt sure if his size would be an issue for the major teams. 
 

Going back to Mahomes, I did call that he was going to be a star going into the draft over Deshaun Watson and whoever else, but I could not have made that call coming out of high school. I have always had a bit of a sixth sense on QB scouting. I can call busts from a mile away and generally hit on the good QBs with fairly good frequency, but its not scientific, it is all feel.

what school did you attend in HS?

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.

@Armybrat remembers watching Red Grange in high school and thinking he wouldn’t amount to shit. 

Actually, I never saw any football game until the Texas-Maryland game in 1959. 
It was raining, and the sparse crowd of maybe 30,000 saw the Horns win 30-0.

We're allowed to beat Maryland at football? Who knew

Late night recruiting notes on several top priority skill position targets

Late night recruiting notes on several top priority skill position targets

Jordan Scruggs
 


— If you’ve been staying updated with Horns247 and tuning into twitter lately, you’ve likely read the tea leaves on the recruitment of Lake Belton five-star Micah Hudson. 

With Texas Tech having all of the momentum and the Horns falling behind with Hudson, Texas won’t give up on the five-star, but more attention will undoubtedly be turned to other receiving targets to join Chris Jackson’s first signing class alongside Texas commit Freddie Dubose.

Ryan Wingo is the obvious answer for the name now atop the board, and every source we’ve spoken to has indicated Texas has as good a shot as anyone for the No. 7 overall player in the nation according to 247Sports. Wingo’s recruitment has been a nationwide war between blue-bloods since it began, but with Wingo only having step foot on the Forty Acres twice, I think the Longhorns could increase their chances much more if they were to get the five-star back in Austin at the end of July when the dead period opens for a handful of days.

Terry Bussey has been one of my favorites in the state ever since Hudson Standish painted the picture of an almost mythical figure that Bussey is amongst TXHSFB circles. As of late Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M have had the attention of the five-star with talent to play on either side of the ball, but after taking trips to Norman and Baton Rouge this past week the Longhorns will have a chance to step up to the plate and potentially establish a lead for Bussey while he's on campus for an official visit this weekend.

We’ve been high on the Longhorns chances of landing Lovejoy four-star Parker Livingstone for some time, and our confidence rose even higher when the four-star told 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Mike Roach that he had canceled his long planned official visits to Arkansas and LSU. With Texas getting the last visit ahead of Livingstone’s commitment date set for July 1, we expect Steve Sarkisian to continue the trend of crushing official visits and ultimately put the nail in the coffin for the talented receivers recruitment this weekend. 

Gekyle Baker and Joseph Stone are both names that Texas was high on at one point throughout the spring, and with four receivers expected to depart from the Texas roster in the spring of 2024, I could see Chris Jackson and Steve Sarkisian circling back on both later on in the summer. Baker is still uncommitted but looks to be narrowing it down after taking official trips to Oklahoma State, TCU, and Kansas State earlier this month while Stone has been pledged to LSU since July of last year, but has still taken officials to Louisville and UCF this summer along with a trip to Baton Rouge this past week.

— For some time Horns247 has viewed Oregon and Georgia as the main competition to Tashard Choice and Texas for composite four-star running back Christian Clark, and after speaking with a source this evening the race has slimmed down as Clark has canceled his official trip to Athens that was scheduled for this weekend. We’re always going to be confident in Tashard Choice landing his priority targets, and with the defending national champs now out of the way we expect Choice to reel in yet another talented out of state back.

I wonder if the zulu at the end of his name indicates a connection with that magnificent people.

 I've had dreams where I run with the Zulu impis. Had Europeans not landed or had the Zulus got their start back in the days of Rome, there is no telling how a Zulu empire would have evolved. Profiency at combat seems to, ironically, be a key civilization starter.

I highly recommend The Washing of the Spears which South Africans I have known also recommend.

Sorry. I almost feel like changing my user name to ZuluVicta, but I'm not worthy.

It's a Nigerian name, so alas it's probably a coincidence.

Fuck the Nigerians. I hate those guys.

I thought this was an obvious joke in contrast to my post about the Zulus. Four negs tell me I'm way off.

Sincere apologies for offending anyone. 

Particularly:

@USMCHorn @D3zii @celebrityhottub @Sgt Hulk and @TheContractor

I have no such opinion about Nigeria or Nigerians. The Nigerians who have come to play at Texas have all been exemplary Longhorns.

Listen man, and I say this with all due respect, but I think it's time to consider maybe finding some new hobbies.

Oh, I know EXACTLY how a Zulu empire would have evolved. They'd have won bloodthirsty wars all over the continent.

Texas closing in on top targets

Steve Wiltfong

I like this update ... 

Loves CB for Jerrick Gibson.

Added CBs for Jordan Johnson-Rubell and Daniel Cruz.

Positive on Jayden Jackson.

Texas closing in on top targets

Steve Wiltfong
 

It’s a big recruiting weekend on the Texas campus as the Longhorns welcome in a large crop of blue-chippers.

And Steve Sarkisian and his staff are in strong position for several of the prospects coming to town.

I still love my 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast in favor of Texas for Top247 running back Jerrick Gibson. The pedigree Tashard Choice has producing two first rounds and three picks in the latest NFL Draft, along with the great relationship the Gibson camp has with Choice has kept the Burnt Orange in great shape.

It could be a big year at IMG Academy for Texas in general.

Coming into his visit I’ve added a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast in favor of Texas for Top247 safety Jordon Johnson-Rubell. Michigan, Ohio State and TCU are a few of the other contenders but a source believes the Longhorns are closing strong here.

Talking to a source I also think they could be the one to beat for defensive lineman Jayden Jackson. Ohio State, Miami, Florida and Oklahoma round out the top five but Bo Davis has Texas in a really good spot coming into the trip.

Outside of IMG Academy, I added a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast in favor of the Longhorns for North Richland Hills (Texas) Richland offensive lineman Daniel Cruz. I thought Ohio State moved the needle with a recent visit but Texas has been in control of this recruitment as they also battle Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

I just on Texas Homer's latest video that dropped today that WR Parker Livingstone ran 22.4 MPH via catapult. What does that translate to in the 40-yard dash time or 100-meter time?

It translates to you're a fucking moron and should quit posting on this board. You're worse than Bedouin

22.4 mph is 32.85 feet per second.  40 yards is 120 feet.

 

120 / 32.85 = 3.65 seconds holy shit he is the fastest human alive
