Sark apparently caught a bug and wasn’t able to make it to Junior Day today.

We’re just letting you know in advance of recruits saying they didn’t interact with him.

He’ll have some ground to make up this cycle.

The bug going around right now is a bitch. Fell asleep at 5:30 yesterday and woke up at 5:30 this morning. Zero stars - would not recommend.

Daughter brought something home from preschool. Went to urgent care and tested positive for everything they tested for: Covid, Flu, and Strep. Not a good time.

Isn't that 2027 Mater Dei TE supposed to be reclassifying that they say is the next Brock Bowers? I think I recall seeing an article that we're his top school or one of his top schools.

That's a good point. I know they felt like they have a shot with him either way.

Not good. Fire up the helo and land on the front yard of every recruit after you feel better

This guy is a Junior in high school? Hes got a full sleeve tat and a family to feed already!  (Im guessing little brother but I’m not totally convinced)

I feel like we should be doing some kind of camp in the South Pacific and another one on the west coast of Africa. I'm all for a roster full of Samoans/Tongans and Nigerians/Ivory Coast players or their descendants.

Port Arthur Memorial cornerback Brock King raved about it as well.

“The vibe this weekend was electrifying,” King said. “The Longhorns is every Texas’ kid’s dream. No matter if its sports, academics or culture the Longhorns fit that description and I just wanna be a part of that brotherhood. The Longhorns program not only focus on football but life outside of football as a man and thats scary but eye opening.”

This guy's stock is going to go up - short, but fast.

To me his Hudl as a S is just ok. But if you can picture him as a LB he becomes much more enticing.

Expand  

Got the same vibe. He reminds me of Overshown who was reluctant to make the switch.

Rivers looks about as good as you could want a qb to.  I would think it's gonna be tough to land him in the class after Bell though.  Arch setting the world on fire next year would help a bunch.

I read Tayfuk’s first name trying to figure out how he could possibly pronounce it. 

I was trying to guess the ethnicity of Tayfuk’s parents? Japanese? Somewhere else in Asia? Or maybe American, but with a different background and emphasis on education when compared to my family. 

Then I moved onto his last name. Ifino could possibly be Italian (pronounced “eef-EE-no”, of course), but it didn’t really jibe with that first name. 

Then I imagined what kind of last name I would make up to go with that first name and…

Still one of the funniest news clips I ever saw. You could see while the anchor was reading the names that they were realizing they’d been had. Just pure idiocy trying to be first to break something.

When they showed the graphic with the names on it, you knew it was bad.

Nicolas Robertson has very good feet. He plays tackle now but isn't very tall. If he played center (learned how to snap) and kept his weight under control, he would be a take.

Should we really gather that Turntine is being recruited as a guard and isn’t the top priority over Ojo because of “big humans,” or is this just more 9.95er overthinking?

Expand  

And also Max Wright and Zaden Crempin are both saying Texas is recruiting them as OT's.  Be interesting to see how it ends up.

$9.95'ers get to sell for two years that Turntine is all world #1 tackle ever - so much so that it should impact who we sign last year and now try to sell that he is a spin down guard.  

Things change like the wind in $9.95 land apparently.

They seem focused on Turntine's height in that Q&A above, but is that as much of a factor as power, athleticism and arm length are?

We would have been better off with Will Campbell at tackle and Banks at guard or Banks at tackle and Campbell at guard. The point is that strong, athletic guys with at least adequate length can play either position. Just get the best 5 guys possible on the field together and get them to work together as a team. The only limitation is the players themselves who often covet the money and the prestige that comes with playing left tackle in the NFL.

If we recruit the five best players on the offensive line that we can, we will be better off than if we limit ourselves by signing 3 interior guys and 2 tackles.

Hilarious at the time but this has aged better.
