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

Joseph Cook: The 2022 Inside Texas Covet List

Quote

By: @Eric Nahlin and @Gerry Hamilton

We’re factoring supply and demand considerations against program need. The 2022 cycle is loaded with elite talent, but linebacker, per the usual, is a bit thin at the top with one prospect head and shoulders above the rest. Also, for the second year in a row, corner isn’t as deep as it has been in the past. That will increase the frenzy for a certain North Shore athlete. But overall the class is so good we had to invoke This is Spinal Tap and take it to 11.

1. Quinn Ewers, QB, Southlake Carroll

Ewers was at the top of the list of “must get” and most coveted recruits in the 2022 class for Tom Herman and staff. Not only was Ewers the No. 1 ranked prospect in the country, but he is an in-state quarterback that literally grew up wearing Texas football jerseys. Add in the fact Ewers would have likely gone to Oklahoma if the pick wasn’t Texas, which would have held influence with an uber talented skill group in the 2022 cycle, and this recruitment was a massive one for the Longhorns. Ewers' early pledge perfectly sets the tables for Texas if Herman and staff handle business on the field this season. - GH

Percentage: Committed to the Longhorns

2. Malick Sylla, DE, Katy

With the transition from an interior-focused defensive line to one that requires edge pressure, UT still doesn’t have the prototypical bodies it needs at defensive end. That could still be addressed in the 2021 class, and Ja’Tavion Sanders sure helps, but Sylla profiles best to being the bendy arc-running terror the program is currently missing. He’s already in high demand and wide open at this point. Texas will have a dogfight on its hands. The state has other options at defensive end, but things aren’t looking great for Earnest Cooper or Omari Abor. Perhaps UT can utilize Moro Ojomo to its advantage. - EN

Percentage: 15%

3. Denver Harris, CB, North Shore

Easily the top cornerback prospect in the state and one of the best in the country. To be clear, IT isn't hyping up to be Derek Stingley Jr., but he's very talented and is a premium position prospect in a cycle where an elite corner is greatly needed. A 6-foot or bigger frame with legit 4.5 or better speed, loose hips, the eyes to play the position and willingness to be physical makes Harris a coveted prospect. Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Oregon, and a lengthy list of schools are after the North Shore product. Texas has been a constant in this recruitment, but Harris isn't a lock with LSU and Alabama circling - GH

Percentage: 60%

4. Kelvin Banks, OT, Summer Creek

After wandering through the forest of nationally-ranked offensive line prospects in the 2021 class and walking out with empty hands, Banks is a “must get” and one of the most coveted in the 2022 class in Austin. Banks has all the tools to be a terrific tackle with a very good frame, 80-inch wingspan, big hands, impressive reactive quickness and the ability to bend. Add in that he’s a good student with strong parental influence, and Banks is coveted by many of the nation’s top programs. Texas began Banks‘ recruitment as the favorite prior to his Oklahoma State verbal per a source close to the uber talented tackle, but LSU and Texas A&M are squarely in the mix in what looks to be a close-to-home three team battle at this point. Herb Hand’s ability to build a strong relationship with Banks will be key here. - GH

Percentage: 40%

5. Harold Perkins, LB, Cypress Park

Perkins possesses legitimate 4.5 laser speed and safety coverage skills in a projectable linebacker frame. He’s currently undervalued by the networks, but we’re expecting a big jump in his recruiting profile because of his uncommon athleticism. The modern game dictates you need range and coverage ability at the position, with baseline athletic requirements increasing in recent years. Perkins has national and regional suitors alike, but we feel he’s more likely to stay in the region. It will still be a battle for his services. - EN

Percentage: 40%

6. Devon Campbell, OG, Arlington Bowie

If we’re putting a guard this high on the list you know he’s special. While the bigger need for Texas will remain at tackle, Campbell has elite movement skills for the interior O-line. Whether you want to run inside or outside he’s a road-grader. The quiet young man will likely have a quiet process. This one comes down to three schools: Texas, LSU, and OU, with the first two doing the most work currently. Texas is recruiting him the hardest and right now is in a favorable position. - EN

Percentage: 60%

7. Caleb Burton, WR, Del Valle

There’s going to be a great discussion for the next couple of years on which of the top handful of receivers is the top prospect in the 2022 cycle, but Burton is arguably the most important for Texas. Why? He’s an Austin-area prospect, his dad is the head coach at Del Valle, and the commitment of Ewers has brought life back into this recruitment for the Longhorns. If the Texas offense continues to look impressive in the passing game, that will only help the chances of beating out Oklahoma, Clemson and many of the nation‘s top programs for Burton. Burton was in the stands for the first half of the Longhorns' season opening win. - GH

Percentage: 60%

8. Jaydon Blue, RB, Klein Cain

Simply put, Blue can be Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the Mike Yurcich offense with his mix of running and receiving ability. He has the pinball traits that I love with home run speed, soft hands, and strong mental traits. He would also complement the Texas stable of running backs quite well, especially if the Horns land LJ Johnson and his between the tackles prowess in 2021. - EN

Percentage: 80%

9. Chace Biddle, DB, Garland

Biddle isn’t as polished as Bryce Anderson or Bryan Allen, both committed to LSU, but he does have as much athletic upside and playmaking ability at safety as those two. Chris Ash could easily spin Biddle’s natural gifts into a rangy, ball-hawking safety in his quarters scheme. In some ways, Biddle would be the opposite of recent DB takes, Jerrin Thompson, Xavion Alford, and JD Coffey. Those three have a lot going for them, but they’re not as explosive. - EN

Percentage: 75%

10. Evan Stewart, WR, Frisco Legacy

Texas is the favorite for the most explosive receiver in-state regardless of class. He’s pretty much a “must get” recruit for the Longhorns because of his ability to take the top off the defense and maximize after the catch with sheer acceleration. Having Ewers on board is big here, as is the success of the Longhorn offense this year. - GH

Percentage: 65%

11. Armani Winfield, WR, Lewisville

The 2021 cycle still has some chapters to be written, but right now wide receiver needs have yet to be met. Even if they are, Winfield’s all-around game would be an attractive addition. He can get a step on vertical routes or by clean route running. He has both ’target’ ability as well as winning over the top. I liken him to Charleston Rambo. - EN

Percentage: 75%

High school recruiting is not like the NFL where it could take years to provide your star quarterback with the weaponry and big bodies he needs. In one busy day of the fax machine going brrrr, Texas could sign a franchise left tackle, a game-breaking running back, and three wide receivers capable of gaining separation. And that’s just from this list. We didn’t have enough room for Donovan Green, who would help unlock the offense further, or PJ Williams and Kameron Dewberry who are also needs on the offensive line.

Obligatory: Just win, and keep spreading the ball around in the process.

I think much like Napoleon Dynamite, it's been so strip mined for memes and gifs and phrases that it's a parade of "oh, huh, so that's that reference" if you don't watch it young enough.

Fuck you for trying to compare The Princess Bride and Napoleon Dynamite. 

Fuck.  You.

Napoleon Dynamite doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Princess Bride.

I think I was in the 8th grade when it came out, and at that age thought that every stupid comedy that came out was hilarious, except for that overrated bag of shit that spawned shitty unfunny references from everyone everywhere

This. I've never heard so many quotes from a shitty movie since middle school.
