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

No, they were both slow. It’s not a fuzzy recollection for me. “What do you think of the Green guy?” “Ran a 4.75 at our camp. Bunch of slow corners coming in there. “

ESPN has him at a 4.69 40, which while not fast for a corner, isn't a 4.75 or 4.80

I mean if he ran a 4.69 at one camp, seems pretty plausible or even likely he ran a 4.75 at another. 
 

I just remember Nahlin pumping his athleticism and saying he should be the #1 player in the state all year, but then when you watched him at camps, he never seemed that special as an athlete and needed a lot of technique work.

Either way, I remember hearing that Cook ran a 4.80 at Rivals and had the time scratched, and since CTJ specifically said 4.80, I thought he was mixing the two up

ESPN has him as a 4.69, which is not fast. Regardless he's Miss St's problem now.

I can work numbers and math on the fly as well as anyone here when it matters. Otherwise, I’m playing fast and loose with them for conversational purposes. 5 tenths of a second in a 40 when it’s slow either way isn’t something worth holding me accountable for because it’s never going to be important to me.

My take comes from someone who saw him in person at the time and said he’s not an excellent athlete and slow for a CB. I think you and others here can appreciate that in that line of work, they’re not always publishing every measurable for a player. In fact, they often don’t when it doesn’t suit overarching goals like filling an all star game roster and so forth. 

If memory serves, they never published a lot of the Omeire camp data, as another for instance. It’s also a big reason that I remain highly skeptical of Omeire’s prospects. Same dipshits hyping him were the guys touting Green and pushing the “so and so WR is really crushing it in summer practices” narrative every summer.

i was with @Fud thinking this was Cook, not Green. As far as I can tell they both ran 4.69 40s as recruits.

edit: my point is they were both much slower than i remembered.

IT Scoop

July 30th Pool Party / BBQ

With the dead period ending near the end of July, the Texas staff decided to invite a handful of priority targets to campus for a BBQ/pool party.

Embrace your inner @wethorn or @PinkertonsBBQ and dive or dig in.

It's the last opportunity to see the prospects before fall camp kicks off. It's also a good chance to close out some leans and lay stronger foundation for other targets.

LB Harold Perkins, Cy-Park (Cypress, TX) - 2022: Getting the five-star stud back on campus is big. He saw his share of schools in June, including Texas. If the Horns really want to be in these sweepstakes, it's time to move the needle. Of the cities Perkins has visited this summer, Austin has piqued his interest the most.

OT Kam Dewberry, Atascocita (Humble, TX) - 2022: Dewberry will conclude his summer with visits to Texas July 30 and Texas July 31. With official visits already made to Ohio State, Texas A&M, and LSU, that leaves two OV’s to be made during the season. IT was told Oklahoma and Texas are currently the front-runners for those OV’s with Alabama having the possibility to knock one out.

RB Rueben Owens, El Campo (El Campo, TX) - 2023 (likely): As soon as Owens de-committed last month, it was reported he hadn't spoken to the UT staff. That was untrue. These two parties still stay in touch. Owens is going to soak up every ounce of attention possible. Per a source close to Owens, the plan is to visit UT on the 30th and A&M on the 31st.

DB Bryce Anderson, West Brook (Beaumont, TX) - 2022: When Anderson recently announced his recruitment was down to Texas and Texas A&M, the stakes were raised. Getting the four-star is imperative for the Horns and beating Jimbo Fisher head-to-head would show Steve Sarkisian is ready to battle. Sark had an aggressive zoom call with Anderson in recent days, in which the message changed to much more of want and need at Texas.

CB Denver Harris, North Shore (Houston, TX) - 2022 (maybe): He’s currently a maybe for the event, but we’d bet he shows up.

DB Jaylon Guilbeau, Port Arthur Memorial (Port Arthur, TX) - 2022 (TEXAS): I'd label Guilbeau a soft pledge at the moment. There have been times we thought he might de-commit, but the longest standing 2022 pledge is still on board. Gary Patterson and TCU have made it known they want him. If Anderson commits to UT, it probably helps secure Guilbeau's signature. Guilbeau is planning to be at Texas July 30, and possibly Texas A&M July 31.

EDGE Derrick Brown, Texas High (Texarkana, TX) - 2022: July 31st is the date to remember. That's when the composite four-star edge-backer decides between the Longhorns and Bears. With Brown hitting campus the day before his announcement, this continues to trend orange house.

LB Kvon Sherman, Pearland (Pearland, TX) - 2022: The 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker recently camped at UT and is eager to return. Sherman is flying under the radar with only two offers, but he has big-time measurables and the staff’s attention. He interacts with Jeff Choate 2-3 times a week.

WR Johntay Cook, Desoto (Desoto, TX) - 2023 (maybe): Anytime you can get the 6-foot-0, 170-pound speedster on campus, you do that. One of the top talents in the 2023 class was in Austin in mid-June with Arch Manning and company. Cook and Manning talk often and that's the coolest part of his recruitment thus far.

TE Jaden Platt, Eaton (Haslet, TX) - 2023: The 6-foot-4.5, 235-pounder hit Austin for camp in June and is now set to return. Jeff Banks likes Platt, and that tells you what you need to know about the rising tight end with eight early offers.

WR Brenen Thompson, Spearman (Spearman, TX) - 2022 (maybe): This one is worth monitoring. With Oregon taking another wide receiver in the 2022 cycle, that certainly helps the Horns. Especially with a mother who thinks talented Texans should stay in Texas. Thompson will make two OV’s in the fall, with Texas, Alabama and Clemson the trio that will be chosen from.

S Bryan Allen Jr, Aledo (Aledo, TX) - 2022 (TEXAS): The four-star state champion makes his return to the ATX. Allen is squarely locked into the 2022 class and he's recruiting accordingly, including his 2024 brother, Jaden.

CB Jaden Allen, Aledo (Aledo, TX) - 2024: Likely following in big brother's footsteps, the young and talented corner is all Horns.

LB/EDGE Anthony Hill, Ryan (Denton, TX) - 2023 (maybe): One of the nation's most coveted defensive talents for the 2023 cycle. It'll take the village to land the composite five-star.

OL Conner Robertson, Westlake (Austin, TX) - 2022 (TEXAS): The ying to Cole Hutson's yang, the offensive interior lineman is all Horns and will be recruiting as such over the next six months.

OL Cole Hutson, Frisco (Frisco, TX) - 2022 (TEXAS): Like twins are often asked, who was born first. With Hutson and Robertson it’s “who committed first.”

LB Jeremy Patton, Tenaha (Tenaha, TX) - 2022: The 6-foot-2, 215-pound inside-backer is enjoying the recruiting process. After taking trips in June including UT, Michigan, and Baylor, the three-star talent wants to make his decision in early September. We think that timeline gets bumped up, and we could see him and Derrick Brown playing together. Apparently they’re dogs.

CB Vernon Glover Jr, Dickinson (Dickinson, TX) - (2023): One of the state's top defensive backs is ready to see UT.

Everything has been our Achilles heel the last decade.  We’ve been more like the inverse Achilles that is vulnerable everywhere except a tiny portion of the heel.

We just need more guys with NFL measurables in general from recruiting.  It’s not like we’ve even had a bunch of workout warriors who get drafted despite our losing games, like Florida State with Bowden at the end or Miami at times when they’ve been down.  Herman improved the roster, but he was better at restocking with NFL size than at upgrading team speed.  In fact, he was seemingly uninterested in speed even at skill positions, which was an exceedingly stupid hill to die on in the modern spread era of college football.  

Sark has a pretty good opportunity, though, at least compared to Herman in 2017 or Strong in 2014.  Usually a program rebuild involves much more than, “Hey, find someone to replace one edge rusher who went pro and then find a couple of fast WR/RBs to round out this 7-3 team that should have been 9-1 last year.”

Herm lost out on Waddle, Moore and I think Watkins (kid from Florida).  Those guys were fast.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  I don't know how they have Brown in an Orange colored house based on what we've read in this thread.

Watkins certainly had a speedy college-to-jail sprint.

Also, reading an article about it, the dude seems to have some mental issues that go beyond just anger:

Quote

When Watkins was in the back of the police car, per the report, he told police that “[UF teammate] Joseph does voodoo and has been doing voodoo on Watkins for some time now, causing problems in his life, such as his phone screen crashing.”

Left out of Agbo's top 5. OT recruiting continues on its stellar trajectory

That's a rough one, esp because ASU is an active dumpster fire and LSU is an active crime scene. 

it sounds like he's going to OU if they will take him 

Quote

 

The Sooners’ mid-June recruiting rendezvous represented Agbo’s second official visit; he’d previously taken a trip to Miami, but in the aftermath of his venture to Norman, it was very clear that he favored the atmosphere at Oklahoma.

"It was the real deal compared to Miami," said Agbo. "It was a live experience from the moment I got picked up from the airport all the way till we got dropped off."

Maybe the first kid to ever have a better overall experience in Norman versus Miami. 
Think he just ratted on blowU with that one sentence. Even people who love Norman Oklafuckinhoma would never compare their city favorably to Miami unless paid to do so..

Four-Star Earnest Greene breaks down June visit to Texas

Four-Star Earnest Greene breaks down June visit to Texas
GREG BIGGINS

Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco offensive lineman Earnest Greene spent the last couple of days in June before the dead period checking out Oklahoma and Texas.

Greene is currently rated the No. 59 player nationally in the 247Sports Composite as well as the No. 2 offensive guard in the country. He plays tackle at the high school level but we think he probably slides inside and plays guard once he hits college.

He cut his list of schools to 10 back in May, headlined by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M and USC. He was active in June and visited Ohio State and USC early on and then checked out Texas back on June 25.

"It was cool, I liked it a lot there," Greene said. "I've known coach (Kyle) Flood and coach Sark for a long time now since they were recruiting me at Bama so I'm really comfortable with those guys. Those guys are two of the best in the business at what they do and it was great to sit down and talk with them.

"I loved the campus and the city of Austin too. It was bigger then I expected it to be, it felt a lot like home for me and it was really nice to walk around and get a good feel for the place. I did a workout there with coach Flood too and that went really well and it was fun working with him."


Greene said his favorite part of the visit was talking football and watching film with Kyle Flood, the Horns OL coach. 

"We watched film and talked football for about 45 minutes and I loved that," Greene said. "All the recruiting stuff is fine and all but I really enjoy just talking football and it was great to do that with coach Flood. It was fun to finally talk with those guys in person and connect on that level. 

"I plan to be back for an official visit in the fall. I don't have a date yet but I know I'll be visiting Ohio State for the Oregon game and Georgia and Alabama might get one too. USC is another option in December but I'm still working out all those details right now."


Greene was invited to the All-American Bowl and said he plans to make his commitment out in San Antonio on Jan. 8.

Geezus, a guy that would be our #1 OL recruit is hoping ou will take him?  FML

Well, he'd be the top commit now, but Devon Campbell is higher rated.

And of course OU is doing better OOS, they have a national sales pitch right now - "want to go to the Playoff at least two of the years you're here and probably block for a Heisman winner?"
