Ojomo, the Achos, Ogbanayya, Okafor, Ossai, Agbo also.  All are great examples to sell to recruits and their parents.

The Mathis recruitment has the “go get fucked” element for Texas with Bo Davis. If that guy wants to come to Texas, it doesn’t matter who else is coming. 

Given scholarship expansion, 6 DTs wouldn’t surprise me. Neither would 4 and 2-3 portal guys who are good additions but don’t break the bank. 

It now seems really clear that they’ve expanded their DE/Edge number to 3 and they’re getting Hilson this weekend barring something super weird. That will be the best DE/Edge haul in the country, following what probably was in the 2024 class. 

There’s a growing notion that if you want a flex TE to be terrific in Sarkisian’s offense, they need to be homegrown or a transfer who will be patient and work within the system for a few years. I think that plays a role in why Texas seems to really want Terry. 

In your opinion, what are the chances Texas can flip Kiotti Armstrong? He looks like bad mofo

Yeah, Agbo doesn't really do all that much. 

 

Also, We have four 5 star commits in Lance Jackson, Lockett, Ffrench, and Jonah Williams. Orogbo is on the cusp of being a 5 star, and Michael Terry will be a Longhorn. We could legit have 5+ five stars in our class. That's awesome. 

And fuck LSU.

Maybe he’s an exception, but when I see 6’6’’, 250 and from Jasper I want to predict a position change once he gets into a college strength and conditioning program.  He may end up great but that’s a luxury take if he’s committed elsewhere and needs NIL promises to turn his head.

Appreciate the answer. I didn't realize he was 250. But damn he has great hands. I want to believe if Lance Jackson can be a TE at 270, I want to dream Armstrong can do the same. He's a specimen. But you are right that he's a luxury take. And stealing from aggy would be another great get and kick to the balls.

You stupid fucks weren't rightly justified into questioning shit. You were overreacting like middle school girls to your 1st crush kissing your best friend. Every year it's the same shit, Texas has a less than stellar summer(where 2/3 of this forum loses their collective shit), followed by flipmas season. Sarkisian doesn't even really start recruiting until August.

DT recruiting was something special this summer though.

Texas only actively recruited 6 DTs through the summer: Brown, Williams, Sharma, Charles, Wynn, and Sanders.

There really wasn't a hope to hanging on to Brown once Bo Davis left. And we weren't going to overcome the gf factor for Williams at LSU. These were dead recruitments but the staff poured energy into it.

So the number was really 4 DTs the staff let themselves have a shot at. 4 real recruitments when the spots to fill number during the summer was 3-4 spots.

Sharma and Charles appeared to be the key targets since they brought them in together during the first big visit weekend. Nansen helped make the Sharma recruitment feasible, while Charles was big game hunting.

Wynn recruitment came down to selling him that he could pursue culinary here. And Sanders was always viewed as the lowest priority given his development needs, but plenty of competition from Aggie.

When the rug got pulled out from under us on Sharma then Charles went to FSU the same day, it was hard to see what the real options were going forward because they hadn't recruited much beyond those 6. Unlike with Moore committing to Oregon, the staff still had legit options with Ffrench, Lockett, and others.

I'm not sure why we'd want too.  He'd make 3 TEs plus a shot at Terry.

I guess it's because Emeree (sp?) isn't idel size for a TE unless he grows, and Armstrong with Townsend would be a haul. But I get what you're saying, and he would be a luxury take.

[utfan87 408]

I think it tells you all you need to know as to what this staff thinks of Landon Rink because we were reeling on DL recruiting and they didn’t once pivot to him, then on top of that they have steadily offered more IDL. That was never a head2head win for aggy like they wanted to claim it as.

All hope was lost until we waited two months. We all deserve a pat on the back for soldiering through.

We were the difference. Sarkisian could feel he wasn't stunting on the hoes at the rate surly has come to expect to him stunt on the hoes.

[Caver60 395]

If Landon Rink turns out to be analogous to his dad as a football player, he belongs at A&M more so than Texas. His dad wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about while we were being dominated by RC and friends.

I’m curious about some of the dynamics at play now. In the past, CTJ has talked about how “flips” aren’t the most desirable players to have on roster. Their hit rates suck. 

Sark goes about things differently. He’s apparently not about the hard sell. He’s more about the long game. I wonder how this plays with the previous notion that flips aren’t all that desirable.

Regardless, this is fun to watch. I continue to feel nothing but remorseless and merciless fuck you to all of our cheating, bag throwing rivals. Most of all A&M and OU, but not limited to them. Fuck yall. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

Roy Miller was a hell of a flip, but I can’t recall any others that were big time here.

Well we had Tyanthony Smith in the last class and Sharma and Charles in this one off the top of my head, so he seems fine with flips as a concept.

Banks, Hill, Barron…a ton of our best players were committed elsewhere at some point.

This is ridiculously detached from reality. Sark will likely be averaging over 4 flips per class by the end of this cycle. He has 0 concerns about taking flips if they like the eval, and we recruit some flips harder than any other prospects.

lol wut.  There are a shitload of them. Byron Murphy wasn’t Sark, but he was a flip who just got drafted in the first. Sark’s taken a ton of flips who are key players on our team: Worthy, Kelvin Banks, Cam Williams, Ant Hill, Guilbeau. I’m sure I’m missing quite a few from that list too.

Surly point well taken.

Now I’m thinking that the knock wasn’t against flips, but flips who did it more than once. That makes more sense honestly.

Rink is the real life Lattimer. If he’s allowed to roid, he’ll start as fifth year senior. If not, he’s a PWO level player.

Most impactful recruiting flips in the last 25 years

It's getting close to flip time for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle. And that means it's a good time to take a stroll down memory lane. This morning, OnTexasFootball takes a look at the most impactful flips in the last 25 recruiting classes dating back to Mack Brown's No. 1 ranked recruiting class of 1999. 

1. Chris Simms - 1999 class
Gatorade National Offensive Player of the Year flipped from Tennessee to Texas, and that was monumental for Mack Brown in his first full recruiting class. Texas signed the No. 1 class, and the perception of Texas instantly changed. 

2. Kelvin Banks - 2022 class
The Humble Summer Creek 5-star left tackle flipped from Oregon to Texas after Mario Cristobal took the Miami job. This was massive for Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood, as they never moved off of top targets after some tough early recruiting losses in the 2022 cycle. It was a foreshadow of Sark's recruiting approach at Texas. 

3. Xavier Worthy - 2021 class
The Fresno (Calif.) Central 4-star WR signed with Michigan, was released from his LOI and flipped to Texas. Was the first huge recruiting win for Steve Sarkisian at Texas. 

4. Anthony Hill - 2023 class
The Denton Ryan 5-star LB flipped from Texas A&M to Texas. The Aggies had the momentum in the state by and large, and this flip was massive for Sarkisian and staff in DFW. 

5. The 2005 class had two big ones
Killeen Shoemaker 4-star DL Roy Miller flipped from Oklahoma to Texas, and Diboll High 4-star TE and two-sport star Jermichael Finley flipped from Arizona to Texas.

6. Caden Sterns - 2017 class
The Cibolo Steele High 5-star safety flipped from LSU to Texas, and was big at the time as Tom Herman and staff were fighting for momentum against SEC schools recruiting in Texas. 

7. Mike Davis - 2010 class
The Dallas Skyline 4-star WR flipped from LSU to Texas, and was key in Mack Brown's 2010 class gaining added momentum into a No. 2 class ranking finish.

8. Jevan Sneed - 2006 class
The Stephenville High 4-star QB flipped from Florida to Texas. At the time, this was a huge flip for Texas, as Longhorn nation didn't know that Colt McCoy would become a legend and Hall of Honor inductee. 

9. Colton Vasek - 2023 class
The Austin Westlake 4-star EDGE and Texas legacy flipped from Oklahoma to Texas shortly after the Longhorns 49-0 win in the Cotton Bowl. This one was very big for the Texas fan base. And Vasek is on track to end up being a very good player, as well. 

10. Byron Murphy - 2021 class
It wasn’t a national headline maker, but the flip of the DeSoto High 3-star from Baylor to Texas ended up being a huge one for the Longhorns rebuild.

11. Cameron Williams - 2022 class
The Duncanville High 4-star right tackle flipped from Oregon to Texas after Mario Cristobal took the Miami job. Kelvin Banks and Cameron Williams, along with the signing of the 2022 OL class changed the trajectory of Steve Sarkisian's rebuild in Austin. 

12. Cameron Rising - 2017 class
The Newberry Park, Calif. 4-star QB flipped from Oklahoma to Texas. Tom Herman flipped a QB commit from Lincoln Riley. Head scratcher by the Rising family, but was huge at the time for momentum and the hated rivalry. 

13. Jordan Elliott - 2016 class
The Houston Westside 4-star DL flipped from Michigan to Texas, and that was huge at the time. Of course, the now NFL defensive lineman flipped more than Simone Biles in a floor routine throughout the process. 

14. Two in the 2020 class that have been very impactful
It wasn’t big nationally at the time, but Frisco Lone Star 3-star ILB Jaylan Ford flipped from Utah to Texas. Jahdae Barron was released from his Baylor LOI after a coaching change in Waco, and flipped to Texas. 

15. Two more big ones in the 2022 class
Lacrosse star and Austin Westlake fast rising full time football player Ethan Burke flipped from Michigan to Texas. Little Elm 4-star DB Terrance Brooks flipped from Ohio State to Texas on signing day.

To be clear, no one knows what in the fuck you’re attempting here. Fix it or stop posting it. 

Man I ain’t fixing shit. It either gets fixed or it doesn’t. Stop being the poster police and eat a dick.

[closetojumping 62557]

No one is being the “poster police”. Now, maybe we’re being the “asshole police” or the “dumbass police”, I guess. 

[kevwun 15764]

1 flip is fine, it's when they do it twice or more that the hit rate goes down.

[Atticus 3973]

Kelvin Banks flipped twice, Jaylon Guilbeau flipped twice, Deandre Moore same deal, if we get Hilson that’s two flips, I’m probably forgetting others. 
 

It’s all about the eval.
