Obviously, I would love to see Sharma in the class, and still think he will be, but even if not this class is already baller status 

No disrespect to DK, he'll be really good, but IMO, Ffrench will end up being the best WR in the class ...plus Lockett, Terry, plus, plus, plus ...

This class is stacked top to bottom

I’m not interested in getting political, but your description of circumstances can get immediately fucked. Negged for attempting to absurdly minimize the assassination attempt on a presidential candid

He’s from Folsom, CA. It’s an easy sell when the money is equal or close to it. If they’re going nuts for a single DT then more power to them. I am worried about DT recruiting but I was worried last year as well. Sooner or later you’d think they’d want to restock the cupboard tho. 

They're going to win the Stewart NOLA auction. They're not swinging for one DT and they're offering significant paydays. Riley and Elko are in the same spot of trying to convince the money that they are *that* close and just to shore up a few key spots to land on top, particularly DT.

I think I've been as straightforward as I could be in that Sharma already flipped to USC earlier this week. Texas has been doing what it can, but USC's extremely desperate. This goes back to being too selective early on if you weren't going to have the cajones to do what it takes to retain the guys you do land. 

They want to develop as many guys from the ground up as they can. At every position. That obviously doesn't mean they'd ever ignore the portal as one of winners there in each cycle. 

I think people are confusing the costs of recruiting these days, really. I know imma knows that, but just building off of the point around development. Some guys cost most than others. Some guys still sign with almost no NIL understanding or expectation. Other guys know their specific market via the help of agents or savvy parents and it goes as high as $1.25M/year for non-QBs, apparently, given that that's part of why Moore went to Oregon.

Even the stars fail to normally go nearly that high. But that's not "the market" generally speaking for a position. Chase Sims could have been had for virtually nothing. Guidry, same. WIth UT's S&C and coaching development in this regime, either guy winds up contributing and potentially becoming draft picks. Neither of them approached something like $250k. 

His trajectory has been downward, even before Daboer. It's odd. Injuries and culture issues this year didn't help. Dude quit on the team midseason. I wouldn't touch him. The $9.95ers are idiots for rating him so highly. That's a brand thing only.

Nansen basically decided he wasn't really interested in Petitjohn until it was far too late. Not sure what the guy was thinking, as he's been very good otherwise. Just a bizarre play.

On Lacey, I think there was some element of loyalty to both the recruit and the evaluation on Sarkisian's end. Given the guy's track record at QB, I guess I've got to just shrug and call myself the idiot for doubting him when it pans out. 

I like Lacey, but the chances he plays meaningful snaps at Texas are pretty slim simply based on being in the '25 class.  

He's got Manning and Owens in front of him and Dia Bell coming in next year.  That's a tough row to hoe.

Except at DT. Where I would argue that by definition, it is not and cannot be stacked "stop to bottom."

But it's a great fucking class.

It’s been mentioned before but Lacey has the same private QB coach as Arch. I wonder if Texas didn’t want to burn any bridges there.

Yes. When I think about the relationship with the Manning family, the kid himself, it's really the private QB coach relationship I was worried about

No recruit is an island, entire of itself. Every recruit is piece of the roster, a part of the main. 

Lacey could damned sure be called upon for various reasons including a rash of QB injuries.

Eh, I will be shocked if Jonah Williams doesn’t end up at LB.  

Jonah has never played LB. We are past the days of turning safeties into LB's.

 

like that guy starting for the Cowboys?

Phew. Someone stepped up. That's pretty fucking big. 

Now it gets interesting with JTerry, Hicks, Fasusi, etc. Is Texas pushing all-in? Does this pull us off of some or all? Could be a big move in either direction. Or, it's just another signing week and Hicks comes to Texas while the others go where they're expected. IT'S FLUID!!!

Dude. You should go read some of these other sites I have access to via a 247 subscription. They're hilarious and dwarf anything we're doing here. LSU and FSU are hysterical messes.

I can't imagine the last 12 months of being an FSU fan. No thanks.

Could the positive momentum drive them to push harder for the blue chips like Justus Terry?

I reckon if someone kicked you in the balls every day for a year straight, you'd have a good starting point.
