He's been listed as the #1 Athlete on 247 for a couple of weeks now.

I guess that Rivals is a little slow on the pickup.

IT on Charbonnet

Spoiler

Michigan transfer RB Zach Charbonnet is said to be down to two schools - Washington and UCLA. USC was in his Top 3, but after adding Keaontay Ingram, that spot is gone. If Texas wants to push, the time is now. We’re told Charbonnet's family are looking for a program where he's "the man.”

This makes a lot of sense:

He’s going to be the man here? lol

Then he better go to Eastern Michigan.

"We'd love to have you here Zach. We're prepared to give you two, maybe three carries a game. In games such as Kansas and Rice. Depending on how bored Bijan gets, I guess. Haha. Hey where are you going?".

Cmon Zach but remember in order to be “the man” you gotta beat “the man”

Trust the PK Fire. He actually knows this kid. He'd fit in good in a 3 man front if he spins down. Could also play linebacker like Cory Redding. Oscar Giles would lock this recruitment down if he was still here. Stars don't matter. Colt and Cosmi were 3 stars. Looks like a coach-on-the-field in the making.

You just know this kid is a baller.

But is he a shot caller?

I’ve never been a coach but I did play in HS. From that experience I would say all of the recent info in this thread really sucks.

I hate it when hire an star coaching staff, and yet the all star recruits don't immediately line up to play for them.

Is it out of the question to think LJ may be visiting this weekend and enroll at the last possible minute?

I posted some info up thread but I believe that they could get him in up until Feb. 3rd

[Tex-19 3013]

What's the latest on LJ making a visit to Austin? He bailed once but it seems like the odds go up a lot if he makes it in. Might be where this pick is coming from

[Dijon Robinson 1511]

Couple updates from Hamilton (IT):

Uke will sign this week, he's down to three schools, Texas is one of them

Ibraheem is signing on Wednesday but apparently it's up to Del Conte/Hartzell on whether to take him

This is the weirdest recruitment. I hope this kid doesn't flame out due to having a mental makeup issue.

They better take Ibraheem in this class, with the right coaching, this kid can be a shutdown corner in two years.

He’s also 18 and many adults become debilitated when making decisions of far less career consequence.

I don’t get why it’s even a question. Let him sign and if it comes out he had more involvement than we think, don’t let him come. Pretty simple. There’s only upside for us in letting him sign.

I mean... it's on the admin, and they have good reasons to do a deep dive into the issue.

There’s downside in using a class counter on him if he potentially has to get kicked off the team for this

I can’t comment on that, just pointing out that the common meme of “taking this transfer is found money” and “there’s no downside to taking this prospect” are innacurate 

[Pato del Muerto 53537]

Has Farrell ever used his picks to troll us, or does he play it straight as far as having it end up where he believes the kid is going?  

[LebongJames 1921]

Ibraheem was arrested for carjacking? Did he have a weapon?

As the only sure corner in the class, I think the risk is worth it in this case. I think Johnson might end up at NB

I believe the story we are going with at this point is that his friends stole/carjacked a car and he took a ride with them after the fact.  During said ride they were pulled over and errybody was arrested.

How long would he count against it? Would it be a 1 year thing or 4? If it is 1 I still say go for it with the smaller class.

Let me start by saying I know absolutely nothing about his case, but...

I rode in a stolen car once and had no clue until after when I got out and my “friends” asked if I wanted the tennis racket in the back seat. Found out later that they had some universal key for Nissans and would joyride them and ditch them. Never stole them was what they told themselves.

Water is wet, women have secrets and high schoolers do dumb shit.

“How was my client to know the car was allegedly involved in a crime?

It’s egregious, preposterous, foolishly absurd and utterly ridiculous that he would know!”

Did it take months to figure out?  
 

because that’s where we are with the ibraheem situation if they still don’t know if they will take him.

I know nothing about this case either, but I rode in a stolen car once as well. Knifed a dude to get it. Threatened his girlfriend. Grabbed some donuts and then drove it into a ditch.
