They’re all pretty fucking awesome. Williams also seems to possess the ability to bend space and time to his will, and contort his body to match, which is nice. That might make up for a few tenths of a second. 

That matrix move by Williams in the Georgia game was one of the coolest things I have seen in years. I think people will be talking about Wingo more once he is inserted as a starter. He is hugely under the radar in the national conversation.

I was thinking more Derion Gullette. It’s pretty much his best bet at seeing the field at this point.

Put me down for the fuck no category wrt Micah Hudson

Gullette would make the most sense. He can be a between the tackles hammer with speed and athleticism, similar to Kalel Mullings at Michigan, which we sorely need right now. Gibson is outstanding between the tackles but we need more than one guy in that role that we aren't rolling the dice on coming off of injury.

Sark did say Ant Hill looked like a RB on his interception return against ULM...

"After speaking with sources close to the recruitment, I've decided to enter a pick for the Longhorns."

"The Longhorns are pitching Terry on a multi-use role that includes playing wide receiver, running back and wildcat quarterback."

Note - Confidence 7.  For 'Streets, that's high(way!)

Details on a new 247Sports Crystal Ball for five-star ATH Michael Terry IIIVIP

Mike Roach (247 Sports)
 

Michael Terry III is the highest-rated uncommitted prospect in the state of Texas. The 2025 San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights athlete has been one of the most-watched prospects in the state over the last few months.

At 6-foot-3, 217 pounds, Terry is ranked as the No. 1 athlete in the country and No. 7 athlete in the state of Texas.

Terry has no commitment date set, but he's been open about making a decision during the fall once he's ready. Texas, Nebraska and Oregon are the top three contenders, and Texas leads the way on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. After speaking with sources close to the recruitment, I've decided to enter a pick for the Longhorns.

Texas felt like they emerged as a favorite during the summer with plenty of whispers pointing toward the Longhorns, but there were a couple of small twists in the recruitment during the last couple of months.  While it originally looked like a head-to-head battle between Texas and Oregon, Nebraska made a move after hosting Terry in July and again in September.

Terry returned to Austin for the Longhorns' game against UTSA, and is slated to be back when the Longhorns host Georgia on October 19. While there's been talk of a return visit to Eugene to see Oregon, I'm told that this is the only remaining visit on Terry's schedule. Texas has been able to check several boxes for Terry when it comes to proximity, academics and a high level of competitive football. The Longhorns are pitching Terry on a multi-use role that includes playing wide receiver, running back and wildcat quarterback.

Terry is off to a strong start in his senior year with 358 total yards and 8 touchdowns from scrimmage.

The 247Sports Scouting Report on Terry reads as follows:

"Fascinating prospect with a ton of positional versatility. Productive at running back and receiver and could even grow in to a hybrid tight end at the next level. Looked good in limited snaps on defense and would be intriguing as a safety or even off-ball linebacker. Just a rare prospect who could literally play and excel at 4-5 different positions at the next level. At 6-3, he's tall for a running back but runs with good pad level, has some shake and then the speed to run away from a defense. Some players are more quick than fast, Terry is probably more fast than quick but still shows good short area burst and once he gets rolling, you won't catch him from behind. As a pass catcher, looks comfortable catching the ball over a defender and making plays down the field in the passing game. Can continue to improve his polish as a route runner and being more natural with his hands, and once he does, his game will take off to another level. Already a national prospect with the track and multi-sport background we love, upside and long term potential are extremely high."

 

 

 

After watching him play, I think he needs to bulk up and become an H-back. He’s 2-5 passing this year for 40 yards, and his only receiving skill is outjumping 5’8 corners on fade routes. He runs with authority though, and is not easily brought down. Definitely could see him as a goal line/wildcat specialist. He could be like Savion Red, if Red was actually good at football.

That actor makes me laugh every time he opens his mouth. He’s either a genius actor or a dumbass. 

It's the former. You should look at his IMDB profile, dude has range from fat comedic idiot to serial killer and a lot in between.

I don't follow Michigan too much, so I was surprised that a D-1 tailback's parents named him such a nerdy name. ("Kal El" is Superman's birth name in the comics, which I learned from re-watching Mallards on VHS a hundred times back in Jr. High).

Sark used Gibson as the lead blocker on a trap play against MSU, and it made me think he’s looking for a piece like this. You can hand the ball to Terry, have him line up as an H-back, or motion him out to the slot. It allows Sark to utilize, 11, 12, and 20 personnel all without subbing so he can take advantage of defensive personnel weaknesses.

Cam was written up as a 4th-5th rounder by ESPN this week. I still think Campbell is a stretch, though. 

I doubt Cam will declare unless he’s legitimately a top 45 pick. Pick 64 got $1.5 mil per year with only $1.5 mil guaranteed over 4 years. Cam could make a hefty sum in NIL as the best returning OL we have and improve his draft stock to a more surefire first round pick in 2026, where he’d be getting $3-5 mil per year and $6 million guaranteed. If Williams does declare, I’d expect us to be willing to pay top dollar in the portal for an OT. 
 

I also struggle to see Campbell declaring. He just hasn’t shown enough to get picked in the first 2 or 3 rounds.

When Gerry stops by Jacksonville Mandarin on Friday he needs to check out 2028 athlete Brysen Wright. Georgia already offered after he camped there. Great looking prospect. Elite basketball prospect as well.

Hello, Mr. Wright.

Gerry mentioned him on coffee and football this morning. Glad he is on the radar early. I live in Florida so I live seen him in person. Some kids you see one time and you just know even at his age.

Hudson doesn't fit the profile of who they're looking for out of a portal WR - 1) Speed - he ain't fast. 2) Proven production - he ain't done shit. 


I don’t want Hudson here after what he did during his recruitment but let’s not get carried away. He’s an elite prospect that everyone including Sark wanted. Dipshit Joey is mismanaging him like he does everything else and I expect Hudson to be at Ole Miss/Oregon/Missouri next year tearing it up.

Campbell is getting subbed out liberally now for Hutson and I’m not even convinced he’s the best right guard on the team. Who the fuck is still pumping the Campbell declaring early for the draft shit?

Gerry mentioned this morning that the Texas staff took Kevin Wynn to Perry’s for dinner during his official visit. The chef surprised him and asked him to come back to the kitchen to help him cook. Pretty cool, and very detail oriented by the recruiting staff. It might not work with Wynn, but it’ll work with other recruits. Just keep chipping away.

So Sark is gonna make Pettijohn cook dinner for him Friday? Solid approach

Well, he was named after whole wheat so I assume that he would be a hell of a baker.

I live on 9th street and see recruits in there from time to time. That GM knows recruiting. Pork chop closer.

Tyler Guyton could hardly even see the field his first 2 years at TCU, and only started 5 games as a junior and 9 games as a senior at OU, but was still taken in the 1st round.
