Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

[Hookem2147 22051]

We have a lot of guys who project inside in this class and not a lot of dudes who can play on the edge.

Burke is absolutely a take and I’m glad we didn’t let Michigan steal him out of our backyard.

He look like Chet Holmgren out there

Who the hell is Burke

Well... better than Kobie McKinzie I hope?

[theBigHen 381]

That’s incredibly underwhelming

[thepop 4418]

Y’all just had to complain about not getting a commit today. 

[texifornia 59079]

Looks like a pain in the ass to throw over

Yes. Much cleaner projection. McKinzie was a tweener depending on how much he ate for lunch.

Has this guy's name ever been brought up in any capacity at any point during this cycle? Way out of left field.

Contingent on who?

[SarksJuggs 1193]

Smoke screen for Stewart? 🤠

[Mason Ramsey 3503]

Maybe the kid grew up bleeding orange and is taking a PWO spot?

[Hookem2147 22051]

On3 has Burke as a 4 star. ESPN has him a borderline 2 star so that’s dragging down his composite ranking.

[Rickylovesweed 15571]

Texas is too good for a recruit committed to a playoff team that happens to be recruited by one of the best defensive line coaches in the country. 

This board is sad sometimes.

Steve has been on the 247 staff for like 10 years. He is also a Michigan insider so not really likely that he'd be brought up this cycle.

@TreatyOak you know Westlake, is Burke a legitimate take?

I’ve watched most Westlake games this year. Hard to get a good read due to how weak the district is, but he’s been a badass all year and played a good game against Katy. Redshirt him and let him fill out and see what happens. The kid is a damn good high school football player

I'm having a hard time recalling Steve Lorenz being brought up.

He is not what I expected when I thought Michigan Football Mod.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10812]

I like. Looks quick at least.

Oh and being the best player on this Westlake defense has to count for something. Holy fuck this Westlake defense is unreal 

[ClubWhatever 12324]

Michigan tried to sell him on being the next Hutchison.  He’s light in the ass but has length you can’t teach.  He’s a developmental project that you try to put 30 lbs of muscle on and hope you end up with a real live edge setter.

The reactions from when Burke committed to Michigan was mostly positive: https://redd.it/r6p5st

Quote

Huge fan of this pick-up. Late riser who was committed to Maryland for lacrosse, but he's really blown up for football this year. He's 6'7" 225 and needs to put on weight, but his Hudl tape is still really impressive

Quote

Watched him play live, he's an issue every play. Westlake is holding teams to under 7 points a game, with one of the toughest schedules in the state of Texas. They run a 4-2-5 with only 1 guy going D-1, Burke. Burke is a problem.

Quote

Dude needs to hit the buffet and the weight room but he looks like a potential terror 2 or 3 years from now. Put on 25-30 pounds of good weight, work on technique, unleash him in 2023.

 

[SarkAfterDark 1758]

Don't know much about this kid but just wouldn't think we have room for another DL at this point. 

[Bamboozled73 342]

We flip this kid from Michigan, not Central Michigan.  I will hold my judgement for now. 

[LTtxfan 50037]

Have we even offered the kid 

 

Per post on 247, Texas offered  Burke today...  

 

Still wonder if this is real, or just a distraction to hide identity of who Texas is really gonna #flipmas

I don’t get Burke at all. 

The only thing I can think of is using Derrick Brown off ball and this fills his edge spot.

It's a good looking frame with nice athleticism.  I like him more than Swanson for sure.  Lots of development left on that frame.  It's a pretty solid ball of clay to mold.  But we're so tight on numbers right now...

[cdain3 3454]

Maybe you lazy mfers should watch the kids tape before you judge.

Looks about as wiry as Omenihu. Good get if he turns out like that.

After watching our DL this year (especially the edge guys), we can’t take enough of them this cycle.

A lot of people talked themselves into Kobie a couple of days ago and Burke looks a lot better on tape than him.

Of all the twists and turns in this thread, I find none more surprising than more of you not having Spider on ignore. For the sake of those of us who do, pretty please extend the courtesy of not quoting his drivel. I can honestly feel my brain cells saying "fuck it, I'm out of here," every time somebody quotes him. 

Most helpful post on this thread today. Because I'd forgotten all about the "ignore" feature. Hadn't used in a couple years, but it's come in really handy again tonight. Thanks, Mitch.

Thanks for the past four years, Ethan, and good luck in the draft.

I think that’s the thought. Brown could very likely end up off the ball and Finkley is a tweener who could easily end up inside depending on how he fills out.

You're trying to think too much about positioning. This staff thinks the entire DL is trash. They're trying to add numbers across the board because the roster is complete ass.

He's been brought up a few times on the podcasts.

[Getafix 29461]

 

At least he looks like a nice, likable guy ... 

 

Roach, on Burke.

Kobie has a 94 next to his name and Burke has an 87 next to his. That's informs many of the reactions

[Pato del Muerto 53604]

He’s obviously a blend of Joey bosa and tj watt, but how much of each of them?

[Lonestar88 5183]

If we’re taking Burke, then our supposed number crunch ain’t that much of a crunch.

[Surlian 79]

Apparently Neto deleted his commitment tweet? 

[Scholz 12312]

I’ve watched Burke play several games. He’s absolutely a take. He’s been living in the backfield the entire 6A playoffs wrecking shop. Quit being a bunch of star fuckers.
