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

Georgia is decent academically. Is he interested in engineering?

Recruiting: The latest on top targets in 2025

Steve Sarkisian and staff continue to battle for a number of highly ranked targets in the 2025 cycle. And a number of decisions are slated for August 21 through the end of the month. 

OnTexasFootball delivers the latest on the top targets yet to make a commitment. 

August 21
Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville (Texas) High
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++
The latest: OTF caught up with someone close to the recruitment over the weekend. The source continues to say Oklahoma trending over Texas. With that said, Fasusi and Texas communicate just as much as they have been in the last few months. Oklahoma has the on the surface ability to compete for a starting spot, best friend is going to OU as PWO, and the Bill Bedenbaugh resume. Texas A&M hasn't given up, obviously. 

August 23 or 30
Nick Brooks, OT, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson 
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+
The latest: An announcement August 23 or 30th remains possible. There have been some people ask if Georgia is out for Brooks, or isn't prioritizing him - those in Austin don't believe that to be the case. Texas vs. Georgia with USC in the picture (not currently expected to be the pick). Brooks has continued to have consistent communication with Kyle Flood and Steve Sarkisian since the move back to the Atlanta area. 

August 24
Jonah Williams, S, Galveston (Texas) Ball
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++
The latest: Williams is closing in on a decision with LSU, Texas, Texas A&M and Oregon the players. Williams and family have continued to have positive calls with the Texas staff in the last week. There is some guarded optimism on the football side in Austin, and the baseball side doesn't have a clear picture headed into the week. LSU definitely believes they have a shot. If Williams were to pick Oregon, he would be the first in the family to pick a school far away from home, or even outside the state line. 

August 30
Jaime Ffrench, WR, Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++
The latest: Texas vs. Miami is the fight and decision barring a major change. The Longhorns have the best relationship with Ffrench and family of any staff - both Chris Jackson and Steve Sarkisian. The Hurricanes are going to make the Horns truly earn this one, according to a source in the Sunshine State. 

TBD

Aidan Anding, CB, Ruston (La.) High 
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star 
The latest: Anding would like to have a decision prior to the start of the season. Ruston High's first game of the season is August 22. Steve Sarkisian, Terry Joseph and Blake Gideon continue to have positive talks with Anding and family. Arkansas has a level of confidence in this one. LSU is playing the long game. Miami remains in the mix, but has been labeled as too far according to one source. 

Michael Terry II, ATH, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star++
The decision: TBD
The latest: Nebraska vs. Texas still trending with Oregon still being popular with Terry himself. Texas A&M is the fourth school in the mix. The Ducks are seen as too far from home by multiple family members. There is more confidence on the Texas side. Nebraska has one person (not family member) close to Terry pushing the Cornhuskers. 

Madden Faraimo, LB, San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) J Serra Catholic
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+
The latest: TBD with the date moving later in the season, with even signing day December 4 currently on the table. Notre Dame vs. Texas still the trend with USC and Washington still fighting. Faraimo is likely to be back on campus in South Bend and Austin prior to making a decision. OTF continues to believe the longer this plays out, the better the chances are for the Longhorns.

University of Georgia is a good school, but the football program is another story. They're by far the worst FBS program in the country at graduating their athletes. Has nothing to do with the NFL either, considering Bama and Ohio State are at the top.

Stetson Bennett playing college for 6 years, always academically eligible, but never graduating was one of the more unique accomplishments I have seen

That has to be a opponents recruiting note for anyone mentioning if Georgia/Smart cares about academics at all.  You would almost need counseling help in how not to get a degree in that time.

Ah yes, the walkon/JuCo transfer who won two national championships and was drafted in the fourth round is a great negative recruiting story.

Exactly. Any smart recruiter would hammer that story home to a family who cares about school and off the field things instead of focusing on something like all the felonies and car-related arrests they keep having.

As if subjecting us to all your shitty takes on NIL for months on end wasn’t enough, now you’re trying to argue UGA doesn’t have good academics relative to football schools. I’m sure OB’s having a sale on annual subscriptions. Maybe you should go check it out.

Georgia is much higher than decent. Their requirements are up there. 

Yeah, they're probably fourth or fifth best in the SEC behind Vanderbilt, Texas/UF, and maybe aggy.

I have a hard time singing the academic praises of a non-Notre Dame institution that is going all out to attain AAU status and can't get it done. Hell, even USF became an AAU member. To get triggered that quickly, and that vigorously, you MUST have a kid attending Georgia.....

Texas and UGA are both public flagship top 50 universities. They're pretty close in terms of OOS perception. The football team being dumbasses doesn't mean UGA isn't a good school.

Get a fucking grip. I know you pride yourself on having attended 5-6 schools and being a fanboi of at least 10 more, but Georgia and Texas are not generally viewed on the same level, and fucking US News & World Report isn't going to change that. Georgia's viewed a good school for a football school in the South. Texas is an internationally recognized research institution and generally held in that regard. Many of us have worked with folks all over the western world in various industries, and I challenge anyone else besides texifornia to come forth and argue also that folks have the same perception of institutions between Texas and Georgia. That is the first time I have ever heard that shit.

Fair enough, I was thinking undergrad degrees, where UGA seems to be creeping up in perception. They've put a lot of effort into getting smart out of state kids and professors with all kinds of scholarships and perks, plus Atlanta booming in population has helped a lot in terms of making it harder to get into by default. For postgrad / research, UT is in another stratosphere.

Is your name Claude? We had a guy named Claude in the Instructors' office back in grad school. Claude was a Domer, and he only knew two things about football:

1. Notre Dame had the bestest football team evar evar, always.

2. Notre Dame football players were the only college football players who had to take a pay cut when they went to the Pros.

When we lived in Atlanta, the only regional school where grads touted academics was GT. UGA appeared aggy adjacent - financial aid to drive enrollment. The Johns Creek/Milton/Alpharetta crowd are all from oos and there is no push to keep those smart kids in Georgia.
