Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

very exciting news and a position of need. so much of our defensive success the last two years has been predicated on the development of mature defensive tackles that have dominated the middle of the field and effectively taken away the traditional inside running game entirely. i expect that he will get on the field very early in his career (given we have like one dt that's not a 5th year senior or a freshman) but hopefully terry has the wisdom to see how it has played out for those with patience with sweat, collins, broughton, and (to a lesser extent) murphy.

pretty excited about the defensive recruiting class. great work, staff.

now a shocker offensive line stud please?

Their entire athletic department needs to die in a fire. Inconceivable they’ve tied us in football and exceeded us in baseball championships. Burns me up to no end. 

More so because they 100% paid for that last baseball championship

Seems like he would slot in and be deadly in that strong side End role when we’re in base 3-4 and essentially playing 3 DT’s. It took Alfred Collins year to be a consistent force on the inside but even he beasted there in that limited role. I’d expect the same and more from Terry as he grows into that every down 3 technique.

The sheer amount of "you can't build a program with mercernaries, you need players that want to be there" from fucking GEORGIA boards is out of pocket this morning.

What are you talking about? I'm sure all those randomass blue chip players that signed from all over the country with them for the last decade were just lifelong Georgia fans fulfilling a childhood dream.

Their QB grew up a Florida fan, lol. They have recruited/bought AD Mitchell from Texas, Justin Williams from Texas, Joseph Jonah-Ajonye from Texas, Kelee Ringo from AZ, Brock Bowers from CA, and on and on.

And I think we all know Bear Alexander grew up a GA fan, right?

unfortunately he won't have lines pissing their pants trying to double murphy and sweat to free him up but i agree, that is how i see pk utilizing him in the early opportunities.

Ladd Mcconkey dreamed of playing for Tennessee

FWIW I believe GA was legit on AD Mitchell before anyone else and did out-recruit everybody.

It’s been a great few years.  2 Robinsons in the backfield.   This year a golden and bolden.   Next year. Terry squared.    Keep em coming 

And we almost had a Manning and Madden on the squad at the same time.

A blurb from Roach's article:

"The Longhorns finished with two recruiters ranked inside the top 15 in the country with wide receivers coach Chris Jackson (second), safeties coach Blake Gideon (fifth) and defensive line coach Kenny Baker (13) all proving to be difference makers on the recruiting trail."

Is that two or three recruiters?  I can't count this late in the afternoon

Ha. No mention of Banks and Choice is pretty silly.

Is "Kenny Baker" what Chris Gilbert goes by these days?

thanks to all who made it happen, including the Wileys if his allotment went back into the kitty, for my little endorphin hit this morning. 

Your welcome Justus Terry will be using the $20 bill I contribute a month to light his cigars after big wins.

Omg I thought it was such a dream I didn’t pay attention today. That’s some good, wait fuck that, that’s some amazing fucking news!! Let’s go!! He’s going to be a great one and takes the need down a couple notches. What a win! Now stomp them out tomorrow and avoid the round 3 rematch and we’re good.

Great looking athlete.  He has a nice swim move already.  He sheds blocks well.  He chases down plays.  You can see him reading what's happening in the plays instead of just rushing up field.  He needs to play with more consistent leverage, but that's just a high school thing.  He has pretty solid technique already.  He can play early.  Monster prospect.

Charles and Sharma will stay with Texas. 

They'll flip one other DT

They'll take 3 in the portal. 4 if Savea transfers too. 

Stop shitting your pants
