From Perroni on King, like clockwork:

King has three Crystal Ball predictions for Texas and the Longhorns are in good shape. But he has picked up some pretty big offers since those picks were made, so he's a little more open now.

Should we read into this as Brocks are gone?

Yes, you should absolutely panic about that the April before their senior season starts: https://247sports.com/player/michael-myslinski-46086430/

Funky offer list this kid's got - his P5 offers are Illinois, Maryland... and Oregon, Iowa and Texas.

With Juan Davis in the boat and the staff clearly in love with Elijah Arroyo, they're reaching an inflection point where they need to make a choice on King.

I still think that if Ash gets his way Davis is going to be playing DE, but yeah - there's going to be some more TE decisions looming.

  • we've been offering a bunch of random dudes
  • Quay loves Texas but no one knows if we'll take his commitment. Commence like an entire page of bickering about the semantics of that in true Surly fashion.
  • Texas and A&M $9.95ers both insist that they lead for Landon Jackson
  • rumor that we've stopped returning Saint Milroe's calls and that he's pissed
  • general freakout about RB because Wheaton is a pipe dream, we're on the outside looking in with Johnson, and Henderson is going to tOSU
  • in a stunning development, we missed out on Tunmise's top 5
 
that's all I can think of right now



I’ve been away too.

Anything new with the brocks? I know they wanted to see how Texas did this season, but if there is no season, how will that look with them

FYI, on offers - 

- Texas has almost as many out for 2021 (122 offers) as we did for the entire 2020 cycle (130);  wonder whether this is a one-off driven in large part by the new staff, or a change in strategy, and the norm moving forward.

 

Tennessee

- 2020: 491

- 2021: 429

 

Alabama

- 2020: 253

- 2021: 200

 

Georgia

- 2020: 268

- 2021: 205

 

Michigan

- 2020: 338

- 2021: 275

 

Texas

- 2020: 130

- 2021: 122

 

(Last year , there were 370 4* and 5* in the final composite rankings.  So if they went strictly by ranking - just in theory - TN could offer every 4*/5*, and Michigan could also come close to doing that.  So much for those "coveted" offers.)

247 had a good article out today about the fastest prospects in Texas. Everyone knows that Camar Wheaton and  LJ Johnson are the cream of the crop, but there are some really good second level guys this year in Texas. There were three RBs on the list that caught my eye. Take a look at the film for DQ James. He backed up Kevontre Bradford last year and gets to showcase this year. He's built like a bowling ball and can really fly. Reminds me of a certain OU RB that used to burn us regularly. Jordan Jenkins is an East Texas kid who looks built enough to play college ball this year. He runs a bit too upright many times, but I love how violent he is. The last RB that stood out to me is JP Martin. He's a slasher with a good combo of speed and power. All of these guys look like better RB prospects than Jonathan Brooks. Brooks has great vision and cut-back ability, but looks slow playing 3A competition. I hope if we take him that it is as an OLB/ATH rather than a true RB.

Horns 247 / Nick Harris / Elijah Arroyo updates recruitment amid coronavirus pandemic

Elijah Arroyo updates recruitment amid coronavirus pandemic

NickHarris
 

It has been a complicated few weeks on the recruiting trail for not only coaches, but players as well. With the 7-on-7 season suddenly cut short along with the inability to go visit campus during the offseason, recruits are having to communicate entirely with schools over the phone.

Frisco Independence's rising tight end, Elijah Arroyo, has experienced some of the difficulties so far, but has still been able to maneuver through his recruitment.

"Recruitment has been going really good for me," Arroyo said. "Nothing really exciting though since this unexpected dead period."

He has been keeping in contact with multiple schools in the meantime as his options begin to pile up. Since adding a Texas offer in February, he has added Michigan, Alabama, and Georgia among others to his growing list.

"I've been talking to a lot of schools almost daily like Texas, Auburn, TCU, Texas A&M, USC, LSU, Alabama, Georgia and Penn State," he said.

Texas remains in a solid spot for the highly-touted tight end as communication from the Longhorns began to heat up before the coronavirus shutdown.

"I have been texting Coach [Jay] Boulware every day," he said. "I actually talked on the phone with Coach [Tom] Herman this morning."

Arroyo has kept Texas high on his list since being offered, but he plans on feeling all of his options out before considering taking an official visit to Austin.

"I like the city of Austin and the vibe it gives," he said. "I'm gonna see how I feel about them once everything gets back to normal first. I wanna go see Miami, Michigan, USC, LSU and Penn State before I set up my officials."

Arroyo joins Humble Atascocita tight end Landen King as the two tight end recruits that Texas is honing in on for the 2021 class. While King seems to have Texas closer to the top, taking a commitment from both would not be out of the question.

At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Arroyo is the No. 594 overall recruit in the country, according to 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 25 tight end and the No. 78 recruit in the state of Texas.

I'm sure we would take all 3 of them. The trick is them being cool w us taking all 3 of them.

Cast your vote for VY!

(Chris Hummer) All-Time Recruit Bracket: Breaking down the Elite 8

Quote

We’ve reached the Elite 8 of 247Sports’ All-Time Recruit Bracket, and it’s been a bloody path for our top seeds. There are only two top-four seeds remaining as some big-name stars of the past have upended the seeding. Pour one out for Jadeveon Clowney, our top overall seed, who had the misfortune of going head-to-head with Adrian Peterson in the Sweet 16. But that’s the madness of March (and now April). Fans have cast a quarter-of-a-million votes so far in this bracket, and the best matchups are yet to come. Let’s quickly take a look at where the bracket stands entering the quarterfinals:

Peyton Manning Region: No. 5 Adrian Peterson vs. No. 3 Justin Fields
Charles Woodson Region: No. 1 Vince Young vs. No. 6 Myles Garrett
Randy Moss Region: No. 4 Leonard Fournette vs. No. 7 Julio Jones
LaVar Arrington Region: No. 9 Reggie Bush vs. No. 11 Derrick Henry

There will be polls to vote below, and you can also participate on Twitter and Instagram. Want to tell us who should win? Leave your opinion in the comment section. Let’s quickly go over who these players were as recruits ahead of the voting.

Peyton Manning Region

Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
Rank: No. 1 overall in 2004 class

A legendary recruit out of Texas. Peterson ran for 2,960 yards and 32 touchdowns on 11.7 yards per attempt as a senior at Palestine High School.

Peterson won U.S. Army National Player of the Year as a senior.

Justin Fields, QB, Georgia/Ohio State

We didn’t take any TEs last class, so I don’t think it’s a terrible idea
