If we took Burris before turner decides, does that mean we either know turner said no or weren’t willing to wait and risk it?  Or do we take him too?

Expand  

I'm sure Giles would push for it if he wants to come but I'd want Turner/Ike/Regis before Burris, even pre-injury.

The Kentucky/Aggy game two seasons ago was such a beating to watch. Two shitty unimaginative offenses led by coaches who were more than comfortable playing not to lose all game. 14-14 at the end of regulation I think. Aggies claimed the huge SEC SEC victory in OT

Does it really though? Weren't we all excited to see Adimora get more burn at Spur?

Expand  

Adimora will play. A lot. It was clear by the end of last season that he needed to be on the field more - and with the work that Adimora has clearly put in, I expect he's basically taking that spot. 

Cook will provide multi-positional depth and package flexibility. He's going to be passed by the younger guys and it's not an if but when, and the when is probably here and he knows it , hence the frustration and the portal. He's still a younger guy and can really create a great role for himself at Texas as a Jack-of-all-trades DB. Being the next guy off the bench at 3-4 spots in the backfield will assure a ton of playing time. Long term, he's not going to be able to beat out guys like Watson, Adimora, and Crawford because they are NFL guys imo.

If we somehow lose Green and Jamison after the season, that is probably your 3 starters at CB/NB next season.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Watson starts taking time from Green this year.  Even though their recruiting rankings suggest the opposite, Watson is the freakier athlete.   Much like how Jamison being lower rated than Green and Cook is curious in hindsight. 

Expand  

Green is a pretty awesome athlete in his own right who played QB in high school then immediately got thrown into the mix as a CB. Dude should flourish with competent coaching.

Except it’s really not. Green is a freak and he has all the tools to be a lockdown corner if he receives good coaching.  He should be the highest rated of the three.

Horns 247 / Mike Roach / Mike at Night: Scattershooting on 2021 targets

Has Jack Leyrer visited Texas? Already been mentioned, but really slim pickings on OTs. Ryan Lengyel doesn't seem like a viable option. Probably only one more for the interior if Myslinski commits (Conner already committed, unless somehow he gets shifted to tackle, highly doubt it).

A DL of Sanders, Thomas, Turner, Ike, Regis, with DH Jr possibly spinning down to DE would be the #1 DL class in the country.  I think we land Turner and will probably take one of Ike and Regis.  

Pair those guys with Collins and Broughton from last year with an elite pass rusher in Dorbah coming from the LB spot.... we're looking at a lot of sacks in the future.  

Props to Herman for upgrading this position to the likes of Bama, LSU, Clemson.

That would bring us back to the good old days of dominant Texas d-lines. DBs are solid too. Really only LBs are lacking in star power (like Malik), but the guys we are getting seem to have good measurables.

Even Mack's best team didn't have great LBs, as Johnson graduated in 2004.

Are you kidding me??  EVERYONE knows to complete the best DL class in the country you need someone from MD, NJ, ME, DE---- @jordanaggie, probably.

I wouldn’t say that would be #1 in the country, and there’s still a bit of a drop off from the three schools you listed and tOSU, but we’re quickly approaching elite status on the DL, and may get there by the end of the season, which is amazing considering how bad we’ve been on the DL lately.

A school like Texas should always be stacked on the DL and credit for Herman returning us to that point. In general, I don’t care about 3-4 vs. 4-3, but a school with the recruiting advantages Texas has is probably best suited for a 4-3, since we can (and are) get the elite DL needed to run it at a high level.

I can see Burris at aggy and Turner at Texas when it's all said and done.  Aggy will go all in with the "Come play in the SEC" pitch for Turner.

Expand  

I don't see it with Burris.  Even before his injury, his tape looks okay to me.  I think Turner has NFL potential with proper development.  I think Burris has a lower ceiling... just my opinion.  Even if we don't get Turner, I'd be okay with slow playing Burris.  Don't forget, he plays on the same line as Jackson.  I'm not sure what his production would look like if he didn't have a 5 star DL playing next to him.

Jackson tore his ACL his sophomore year and missed half the season. I'm sure there is probably plenty of footage out there in Burris's sophomore HUDL.

Brian Dohn the east coast 247 guy has put in a CB for Monkell Goodwine to Alabama. Interesting to us because Shemar Turner --- Bama has 16 total commits and 3 on the DL + Kendrick Blackshire who is going to be on the DL. I guess we could see Bama process someone but none of their current commits outside of perhaps Blackshire (due to not having a clear position) seem like the kind of guys you'd process. 

It will make numbers interesting for them with Turner because they are still very strongly in it for Maason Smith, Tyleik Williams, Korey Foreman (USC is a house of cards) and J.T. Tuimoloau. They've also really turned up the heat on OU legacy Shambre Jackson - they have gone to speaking with him every day and the dreaded Nick Saban Facetime meetings.  It appears that despite being on OU legacy and a good player at a need spot, the Sooners have shit this one up.

If he hadn't gotten himself banned, it would have been fun to take a dump on AtlFan's face about Jackson after all the shit he was talking.
