Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

We have 20 commits. Y'all say we need 2 more DL, and if Hilson and Fasusi want in that we would take them. We are still looking for 1 LB. And we need 3-4 DBs. Would we take 8 more guys if they are the right ones?

I’ve never listened to Hayes Fawcett speak before. And there’s a good fucking reason for that. Holy shit he looks and speaks like, well, an lsu grad. Or a drunk handyman. 
 

why in the fuck are people booking the graphic artist to appear live and talk to the media?

Are you worried about the numbers?

I knew that was coming but I'm impressed that it was the first response. I don't even know what the limits are this year after the NCAA changes. But, it seems to me that these luxury guys that we will make room for regardless, would have to impact other positions. And DB is the one position that needs positive movement. We have a safety who probably will end up spinning down and a lower ranked corner. After the losses this past offseason, and the signing of 1 year transfers and stop-gaps, I don't want to see a slide back to our 2023 DB results. I like what I've seen so far this year.

Michael Terry III, 2 more DT, Hilson no matter what, 1-2 more DBs, and 1 LB seems reasonable.

Fuck.  Our success is going to be our ruin.  We are totally screwed.

What could the Texas 2025 class look like December 4?

Well, well, well ... the Texas Longhorns have a top 5 level class following the flip of OnTexasFootball 4-star+ defensive lineman Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High). And the Longhorns aren't close to finished. 

With needs still remaining at defensive line, defensive back, one wide receiver and one linebacker plus a possible athlete, this Texas class will likely hit 26 or 27 signees. And that number could push to 28 or 29 with the scholarships expected to increase to 105 beginning in the 2025-26 season. 

The OTF prospect ranking system used for this story:

5-star - obvious 

4-star++ - top 75 level prospect in the country

4-star+ - top 150 level prospect in the country 

4-star - top 150 to 375'ish level prospect in the country 

Texas Top 5 Class as it currently stands

I love that they’re staging a graphic designer as a prognosticator of recruiting momentum. 

It went about as well as you would expect. Maybe keep him in the back room next time Wiltfong.

I think the question is, why hasn't imma been able to land an interview with the premier recruiting commitment photoshop specialist on the Surly Pod?  He could ask him about his design choice to make every human face look like a bright red crypt keeper.

Being a graphic artist, much like real estate, comes down to 1 unreplaceable quality. Exposure, exposure, exposure.

Probably already discussed on here at length, but @Scipio has been adamant that Arch starts at Texas for two season (2025 and 26). The only situation he sees where Manning leaves after 2025 is if Arch wins the Heisman and a national championship.

I think it has to do with that 25 game thing Quinn had been mentioning. I'm like 97% certain but that information probably came straight from the Mannings. I also see Arch playing 2 years at Texas.

If we land him that would give us the following at edge:

Player - National Rank - Position Rank
Javion Hilson - 37 -2
Lance Jackson - 39 - 3
Smith Orogbo - 81 - 12

According to On3 rankings

Shades of the Kelvin Banks, DJ Campbell and cam Williams haul.

Or New Orleans has a draft pick (#1) or draft capital to make a move to take him.

Does FSU have any DBs we can take?

No. They've only got 11 commits. No CBs and only two safeties that are their lowest rated commits that we wouldn't want.

FSU fans are annoyed that Norvell is overly-reliant on the portal and unserious about high school recruiting and long-term development.
