Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting

This staff better crush 2023….cause 2022 is not looking too hot 

[SarkAfterDark 1,748]

Geez I remember a time where we were full at OL and turned a good prospect away and we were wondering how the numbers would shake out at DB. Look at us now.

TFB on Denver Harris:
 

  Hide contents

The long time priority for Texas is getting closer and closer to making a decision. However, before he makes a public commitment, K says Harris is likely to drop a top two to declare his finalists sometime this week.

With that said, we do not expect Texas to make the cut in the top two for Harris.

Texas has been making a strong push to get Jaylon Guilbeau back in the fold and he obviously remains a top priority with news of Harris’ top two.

 

I really hate being a position where I’m rooting for Alabama to win a recruitment, but here we are.

When they're referencing a "positive move", what they mean is the kind of move that has 4 wheels, is made in England, is a hit in Africa and with trophy wives here. I still don't know if it matters, because the player isn't psyched about the ATM program. Assume Bama until he says otherwise at this point. 

I have a slightly used Hyundai I can contribute to the cause. Maybe Harris prefers a ride with better gas mileage?

[Hookem2147 22,033]

Hasn't the consensus been for a while that Harris is Bama bound? I guess the surprise is that Texas didn't even make the final cut.

Why are we not bagging Jordan Hudson? Were really gonna let that happen? Kevin Coleman? Only a matter of time till D Campbell locks us out too. This is ridiculous. We offer Urban north of 12 million per year but wont bag players for 100k. We wont last in the SEC if this does not change.

I wasn't a fan of taking Murphy over Klubnik at the time. It should be shocking to no one that taking a project Cali QB over the plethora of highly rated in state options isn't helping us land Texas WRs.

Klubnik was never coming here. Once Clemson offered it was done. Ewers really fucked us good twice. Weigmann was the guy we should have gone after.

Pretty sure he locked into aTm super early, and on top of that there’s quite a bit of speculation he’ll be a 1st round mlb pick. Well see if that doesn’t tempt the kid.

Yes I know Weigmann is a stud based on seeing his stats but the one game I have seen him in play I wasn’t impressed with him at all. When they played Rockwall-Heath in the playoffs at Baylor, for the most part he was shut down and by no means is Heath a defensive powerhouse. Quinn dropped 72 against that same defense earlier in the year.

Let’s just say that outside of making Arch Manning a priority, the QB decisions made by Sark have been puzzling.

Ewers was gone long before any of this was an issue. 

I think Klubnik would be a Horn if they had pursued him. He wasn't offered or even strongly pursued by Clemson until after Saban drug his nuts on Dabo and crew with the Ty Simpson recruitment. Klubnik was offered the same day Simpson committed to Bama which was a full 2 weeks after Murphy's commit to Texas. I suspect that Clemson would've gone all in on Braden Davis if Klubnik had committed to Texas rather than work the flip. Sark simply chose Murphy over Klubnik - a move which a lot of us said would create these exact challenges in terms of recruiting and it's impact with in-state recruits and a new staff trying to make connections. None of this should be a surprise to anyone here. 

Texas simply wasn't in a position to take a chance on Weigman choosing baseball and not having a QB in the class at all. 

[Barbacoa 1,934]

If all things were equal, Harris would be coming to Texas. A&M wouldn’t even be considered at this point. Bama is too far away. 
 

But all things are not equal. And to add insult to injury, we will get embarrassed in front of all our competitors and recruits. Won’t even have our hat on the table.

Correct; he's been hinting that a player committed elsewhere has been interested for a while now, and he said he might have news at the end of this week.

North Shore kids not listening to Shad Banks…

[Dr. Teeth 5,868]

I understand having issues with Maalik as a prospect. But this same thread was in step with his 7on7 participation being a plus with all of the WRs in this class. Now it is a negative? 
 

We might want to start adding to the blame on what we already blame Coleman for right now. A lot of schools with worse offenses and more dire seasons are looking good with WR recruits. Coleman was considered a FSU lean a week ago.

One of Sarkisian's dumber moves so far has been taking the Cali QB that no players in Texas know and passing on the multitude of comparable or better QBs in Texas that have now all gone elsewhere, including Stewart's buddy who is committed to Florida. "A team of Southern California's best players would beat a team of Texas' best recruits 9 out of 10 years." Right-o, Seven Win Steve! Hey, by the way, there's a new regime at Southern Cal looking for a new HC. Maybe they can't google and have amnesia and your resume might look awesome to them?

Out of curiosity, was reading through posts from February to see how this board reacted to the Murphy commitment and LOL:

I find all of the angst about Murphy to be laughable. After Ewers, he's the guy I've been cheering for Texas to land for 3 weeks. Texas has a healthy QB room right now and that isn't going to change. Wright is a high-floor guy who signed knowing that one of Thompson or Card would be there the entire time. Lourd matches the same. I'm sure one of Card or Thompson will transfer after the spring, and I get that, and I still think the QB room heading into this signing class will be healthy. 

So with that, take the fucking guy that has an elite asset in his repertoire. Always give me the guy with elite assets in some extreme manner versus the guy that's pretty well-rounded and generally above average. In Murphy's case, he has 3 elite fucking assets: 1) an NFL whip - this isn't arguable and is probably the best in the country in this class and a top 3-5 arm going backward in classes by 5 years; 2) size - he may be a big target, but give me the guy that can take a hit, stand tall and still make the throw; 3) he represents the surest path to a legitimate, sustainable pipeline to CA, which is a fucking fantasy this board and its predecessors has had for 2 decades. 

Compare that to Ewers and Ewers wins out. Compare that to Klubnik and Murphy wins. I don't give one fuck if it is going to hurt Todd Dodge's feelings, the aggie clan named Klubnik, or the Westlake honks that hover over the outskirts of UT fandom like fucking gargoyles. Klubnik is a long strider with mechanical issues of his own. Let him go be whiteboy awesome somewhere else and I'll take my chances. 

I have zero concern about taking Murphy, CJ Williams, and Hyphen from CA. Shit, are people fucking insane? Yes take those guys if you can get them. Williams is a big possession WR? Fucking great. He's a high character, charismatic guy as well. Get Thompson and Stewart to take the top off of defenses and he's fine as a possession take. Got plenty of DBs in Texas this go-round? Great. Sign 4 of them and take Hyphen. Suddenly we're real again in CA. Maybe we can find a couple of OLBs/DEs/ILBs to follow along from out there as well. Texas HS coaches might generally get mad? Fuck those room temp IQ assholes. They haven't done a fucking thing for Texas football on their own, ever.  If Texas wins, getting who we want in the state will not be a function of HS coaching support, but it will certainly happen. 

Give me all of that shit, plus the ability to mock Nahlin, Fatfuck Ketchum, and handwringers on this site along with it. Fucking A right.

Sooo I guess NIL isn't lowering the effectiveness of bags after all?

[Elmer_Fudd 22,994]

More than likely the DB haul is going to be Guilbeau, Jordan, Allen, Lewis, and LTG.

Harris ain't happening and unlikely Bryce flips.  IDK if Brooks ends up at tOSU, but he ain't coming here IMO.

Some of us have enough foresight to see further than 6 inches in front of our faces

[Hornlover 8,945]

So we're at 21 or 19 commits right now (2 special teams players).

Additional Takes:

DB/S - 2  of Guilbeau, LTG, Harris

WR - 2 of Brenen, Stewart, Hudson, Coleman, Preston

OL - 3 of Campbell, Greene, Dewberry, Nabou, Neto,Agbo, ???

LB - 1 of Perkins, Barton

TE - 1  (maybe) Skinner

RB - 0

QB - 0

If we take 9 more commits, we're at 28 or 30. Maybe that's a do-able number? I don't think we can take everybody on our board right now.

So what.....Recruits, CTJ, and Golfclap are now like Texas High School coaches who get their feelings hurt when Texas goes out of state for better talent??

 

Seriously?  You two have cried for years for Texas to be more national in it's recruiting.  Sark is doing that and suddenly it's a negative?

That's probably pretty close. I would maybe say:

2-3 more DB's (preferably 2 corners but maybe 1 corner, LTG and Guilbeau)

2-3 more WR's

2-3 OL

1-2 best player available (possibly Wiggins on the DL, Skinner, maybe another linebacker who projects inside, Perkins)

This leaves room for 3-4 incoming portal guys assuming the rule passes allowing classes to expand to make up for outgoing portal attrition. I believe the max number being thrown out is 32 for how many you can take from the high school ranks + JUCO + portal.

One thing I haven't heard mentioned much is if we will potentially look to the JUCO ranks to fill some holes, maybe at WR or along the OL.

The problem with your board is that at best, right now, we get maybe 3 of those players. I can see a scenario where we just get 1. You’ve got 4 guys on that board we have less chance of landing than Golfclap giving Stan Drayton a hug and a tug.

Of your list the most ideal I see currently are Guilbeau and possibly Brenen Thompson, let’s hope the Aggie visit doesn’t sway him too much.

With NIL and money beneath the table there's not much of a difference between being a highly touted QB and 1st round baseball player, if any.
