Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

[MrX 727]

Regarding Michigan…Harbaugh is a crazy fuck but damn the guy can identify talent, develop it, then deploy it.  He’s won everywhere he’s ever been.
 

2018-2023 Michigan may be explained by the fact he was the coach, nothing more.

Why would this matter if Phillips was going to play Safety not CB?

He has no interest in safety

Nick Brooks is a very large human

I mean it's way better than Mack's affinity for 250 lb linemen

Imagine if Colt had a real line. I was rewatching the title game against Sabans deer antler squad, our offensive line looked like a Wisconsin line on ozempic.

Dude is going to absolutely maul people, even in the SEC. He's a force to be reckoned with. 

[walker 175]

Thought Brooks at CB was supposed to be more a technician with long arms vs super fast guy with quick twitch.  Was the coaching a problem?  or getting fat?

I have a source very close to the Kade Phillips situation. Apparently someone who coached Terrance Brooks in HS has been very vocal about the fact that he got worse while at Texas. Raymond is also negative recruiting Joseph by highlighting that he was never a top football prospect growing up, his sport was baseball.

 

I mean sure, but Joseph didn't tell Brooks to eat a Big Mac and a supersize fries for every meal.

[Dondrysdale1 363]

Brooks dad is also an aggy. So I’m sure if there is any hurt feelings he is happy to shit on Texas as it now benefits his alma mater to do so

[IDIOTsavant 8482]

Brooks went to play for that fat fuck Bielema at Illinois. Coaches weren’t looking at the film and thinking “I can coach that out of him.”  At least Brooks understood that if he didn’t want to lose weight, he should stand next to someone fatter….and fuck whoever upthread has made me defend Terry Joseph.

If he has no interest in safety, then that’s probably the #1 reason he decommitted. Because he was committed here as a safety.

Nothing more? Yeah I can’t think of anything else going on at Michigan over that time period other than good ole Jim Harbaugh identifying hidden gems and coaching them up.

So this begs the question why did he commit to Texas over LSU in the first place then? Nothing changed in the 30 days he was committed for.

Caleb Bell (recent DL offer committed to Arkansas) just stopped Dia Bell on a 2 point conversion attempt to tie the game. Has looked good all night.

Was he? I was told (and this person would definitely know) that none of the safety talk started until after the commitment

Look at results pre and post advanced scouting. 

[FreeHorn 1307]

I’m not sure how T Joseph plays a role in the Phillips recruitment outside of pushing “maybe he doesn’t identify talent well cause if he did then why wasn’t he recruiting you at corner”. But still he committed to Texas to play safety with a chance to try out corner. At the end of the day the kid wants to bet on himself and his ability to play corner. Man corner on an island cause that’s been Raymond’s biggest recruiting tool against Texas this year and last two years at Florida. He says Texas can’t teach and won’t play man, he will and that’s how you get to the league. Good luck to the kid. 
 

FYI: somebody mentioned it earlier in the thread. Brooks dad hates T Joseph. I don’t know of any contact with Phillips but if Daddy Brooks and TJ are in the same room anytime soon it’s probably going to end in a wrestling match.

Corey Raymond is out if his league. He hasn't been relevant in close to a decade. He's washed up. But kids will look at his oast success and believe he can get them there, but if you look at his recent stops he hasn't done shit. 

[Leanderman 2275]

Can we move Mr. Brooks to a goal line fullback? Be fun to watch the impact of a blitzing corner, meeting him head on.

This is actually being more respectful of the player than many $9.95ers, including every “Texas” $9.95er on Orangebloods.

[Funk Doctor Spock 12176]

Gentlemen, prepare your anuses. Jonah Williams will be a Longhorn today. And if what Gerry and Bobby said about him having the same impact as Ant Hill, I'm all for it. Irrespective of what CTJ says, he does actually tackle really well. Doesn't shy away from contact, and is a ball hawk. I look forward to him donning the Burnt Orange and White.

It was obvious that Sark trapdoored Phillips.  Poor fucking breauxk swamp rats.

[Funk Doctor Spock 12176]

We can always flip him late if the need arises. Just lie and tell him he can be a CB. It's what that out of his prime Corey Raymond is doing. 

[Reese Bennett 3608]

All this complaining about DL as if we don't have the third Coleman in our back pocket. If walk-ons can play safety, they can play DL, right? Right?

That’s not the Kelson I recall. Maybe you’re thinking of Killebrew. 

Kelson’s finest moment was running stride-for-stride with Reggie Bush in the national championship game, perfectly defending that wheel route that scores 99 times out of 100. 

Excellence…

I beg to differ.
