Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

I work closely with a certain previously committed 5 star QB's father (hint: its Quinn Ewers, for those who haven't been following recruiting closely like I have) and chatted with him a bit this after

He told his coaches and teammates last night/yesterday the pick was Texas. He showed his Texas commitment edit to basketball teammates after practice this week. He has already done his commitment interview with quotes with a Texas 9.99er, though they won’t admit it so that they don’t burn any bridges. So again if it’s Oregon something happened or Big Cam did a great job trolling a lot of people.

Honestly the impending free horn crowdsourcing kind of makes it worth it

I kind of like ol'FreeHorn, honestly.

It was a 50 yard sprint and you were 3 steps ahead. For the first heat. 

Dude, I assume you're just trying to fuck with me. They were 100 yard sprints because it was based on a study about there being no difference in that kind of limited, max output of energy versus 30 minutes of exercise. 3 minutes of 100 yard sprints was the equivalent. I was able to finish and literally turn around to watch you come in afterwards on each sprint. If your mind has changed it to some other story, that's just sad. You're not that old.

I guess we should've offered Cam before May. Who would've thought.

And maybe don't tell Sexton he doesn't have a spot unless his spot is actually taken.

Also, I'm on Team Save FreeHorn. He's not the only one who got pantsed on this one.

(Eric Nahlin) Cameron Williams to Oregon and what lies ahead

Spoiler

Gross.

The Keahnist Thompson miss was a meh. The staff was late to move and already had a number of good options in play at Jack. Plus, UCF had proximity and the promise of playing tight end on its side.

Terrance Brooks was a much tougher loss, but while UT checked a lot of boxes, it didn’t check #1, a track record for development. UT did all it could and was set to be the bridesmaid to Bama right before that trashy trollop Ohio State showed up and went home with the groom.

The Cameron Williams (OL Duncanville) miss is more disappointing because it reveals some flaws in process. Texas offered on May 5th — as in less than two months ago. That’s well after the staff had its sea legs under it. Even more puzzling, that’s surely well after Kyle Flood was familiar with him given he recruited the state while at Bama. Maybe given Cam’s size they wanted to see him in person, but that doesn’t square given the giants Flood signed out of North Shore in back to back classes (Damieon George and Jaeden Roberts).

Even if they had good reason, it doesn’t matter. Mario Cristobal is one of the best o-line coaches in the country and he offered in January…of 2020.

The Cam Williams miss guarantees this staff will be evaluating film well into senior seasons, not so they can be diligent and say they did, but to be vigilant and fill needs. It also guarantees the staff will continue to play the long game with in-state and out-of-state long shots. It also becomes even more imperative, if that’s possible, they land Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell.

Texas should receive good offensive line recruiting news in the coming days with Connor Robertson (Austin Westlake) and Cole Hutson (Frisco) set to announce tomorrow. Fans should always want coaches to land their priorities and these two are in fact priorities. Hutson was offered while Flood was at Alabama and Robertson was an early surprise offer from Flood upon his arrival to Austin. These are good foundational pieces, each with interior versatility.

Williams would have filled a different role. He represented upside as a mammoth sliding wall right tackle, or a mauling guard. In looking around the state, there aren’t many of those.

Remaining known targets besides Robertson and Hutson:

OL Devon Campbell, Bowie (Arlington, TX): Texas is in a good spot currently. For your sake, hopefully the staff proves it can win an extremely hard fought recruitment for an elite before Campbell decides.

OL Neto Umeozulu, Allen (Allen, TX): Long shot and Flood hasn’t proven to be Quigley Down Under while at Texas.

OL Malik Agbo, Todd Beamer (Federal Way, WA): Long shot.

OL Earnest Greene, St. John Bosco (Bellflower, CA): Longer shot.

OT Kelvin Banks, Summer Creek (Humble, TX): The same written about Campbell goes for Banks. The only problem is he’s set to announce in three weeks and Jimbo Fisher has more experience as a head coach closing these types of recruitments out.

Addendum (posted later) : 

If we thought Banks was going to A&M, we’d state it plainly like we’ve done hundreds of times throughout the years. I have no problem hurting y’all‘s feelings.

This should sound like the staff needs to get more aggressive and close better and because we have some mild concern growing in that department, it should affect how we view their ability to close out Banks.

OT Kam Dewberry, Atascosita (Humble, TX): Long shot.

OT Josh Conerly Jr., Rainier Beach (Seattle, WA)

Expect this list to expand in the coming months.

By no means is it time to hit the panic button, but let’s see if these guys get more aggressive when it comes to offering and closing.

Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood aren’t in Tuscaloosa anymore.

I’m on team sark its not like he hasn’t gone through this before unlike Herman and strong they hadn’t recruited in high leverage places before. I will trust sark knows what he is doing.
