GRAD TRANSFERS

A clear indication of how much UT prides itself on academics is how hard it is for graduate transfer football players to gain admission.

Now, Calvin Anderson was not going to have issues getting in — the dude is brilliant after all — but he still had to go through the same exact process as every other graduate school applicant right down to waiting to hear he was admitted with the rest of the students.

We reported he wanted to enjoy the process, and that played out with his visits, but he had to wait to find out he was for sure in before announcing his intentions.

Going forward will this be an issue? That’s an important question given UT’s extraordinary luck in landing Anderson.

To answer this, I’m not saying players will get preferential treatment, but I don’t foresee admissions being a spike strip going forward. That isn’t to say Dodos will be admitted, it's to say Texas is serious about competing with other schools in this ultra competitive market.

STATE OF RECRUITING

Texas continues the slow and steady approach to the Class of 2019. Bring in a few prospects during weekly practices, then a few elites for weekend visits, you know, as you do.

UT is hosting another handful on Saturday for its spring practice/scrimmage. Of note, Spring official visits begin on April 1st. So you should expect juniors to make their way to the 40 Acres starting next weekend. We'll go into more detail in the Scoop.

Let's take a look on who'll be on campus this weekend, and who might be too.

Elijah Higgins, WR - Austin Bowie (2019): The 6-foot-3, 225-pound pass-catcher will be in attendance for UT's spring practice tomorrow. I keep getting the sense this recruitment is close to conclusion. Texas looks great while Stanford is nipping his heels. The potential future UT instrument isn’t in the Texas Instrument just yet but it’s close.

NaNa Osafo-Mensah, LB/DE - FW Nolan Catholic (2019): Unable to attend last weekend's practice due to his sister's track meet, NaNa is set to arrive in the AM. Texas is looking at Osafo-Mensah as a linebacker that would spin down to defensive end after a season or two with Yancy McKnight. Notre Dame is supposed to be the leader here, but the more intel we get, the more we believe he's relatively open and Texas is in it. Concerns of motor are lurking.

Branson Bragg, OL - Crandall (2019): One of UT's top offensive line targets will be competing at the Texas Relays this weekend. Afterwards, he'll trek over to Moncrief to hang out with Herb Hand and the Horns staff. Big weekend here. Hand had previously killed it with Kenyon Green, Stacey Wilkins, and Javonne Shepherd.

Roschon Johnson, QB - Port Neches-Groves (2019) (TEXAS): After running in the Texas Relays this weekend, Johnson will likely make it over to Moncrief to visit with the UT staff and see Higgins, one of his top recruiting targets.

Dwight McGlothern, CB - New Caney (2020): The long-legged corner is one of the top prospects in-state for 2020. He's a 'maybe' to stop by Moncrief after his Texas Relays events. I love his upside and demeanor. He'll be a must-get in next year's class.

Khristion Little, RB - Tyler Chapel Hill (2019): At 5-foot-10, 180, he packs a big punch in a small package. Under-the-radar (Prairie View A&M offer) and looking for more.

Bryce Foster, OL - Katy Taylor (2021): The promising offensive line prospect will be in attendance for spring practice tomorrow. His teammate, Hayden Conner, will visit next weekend. 

Bryce Young, QB - Mater Dei (CA) (2020): One of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation for his class, Young is no stranger to the Longhorns. The UT staff has been on him for over a year now, and for good reason. He holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, TCU, USC, and Washington. He's a part of Premium Sports, which is the California version of FAST 7v7. The next eight prospects listed are with Premium Sports, touring the country, hitting TCU, A&M, and Baylor as well.

DeGabriel Floyd, LB - Westlake Village (CA) (2019): Floyd arrived in Austin on Monday night and won't go back to California until tomorrow afternoon. He's spent more time in the ATX than Mike Judge. He attended two practices, and hopes to see tomorrow's scrimmage. He's had some 1-on-1 time with Todd Orlando. It's difficult not to see the Longhorns holding the early advantage here.

Max Williams, CB - Junipero Serra (CA) (2019): Alabama, FSU, Michigan, OU, Stanford, and LSU offers.

Josh Delgado, WR - IMG Academy (FL) (2019): Oregon State, USC, Washington, Colorado, and Arizona State offers.

Jordan Patterson, WR - Harbour City (CA): The 6-foot-3 target holds a USC offer, but that'll change soon.

Josiah Hawkins, WR/CB - Orange County (CA): The 5-foot-10, 165-pound mighty-mite has some DeShawn Jamison to his game.

Braedin Huffman-Dixon, WR - Mater Dei (CA) (2019): Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, Nebraska, and USC offers.

Mycah Pittman, WR - Calabasas (CA) (2019): Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and USC offers.

Ralen Goforth, OLB - St. John Bosco (2019): USC, UCLA, Arizona State, Nebraska, and Colorado offers.

KJ Trujillo, CB - Anaheim (CA) (2020): The 6-foot-1, 165-pound sophomore is one to watch. Elite ball skills.

Lewis Cine, S - Trinity Christian (Cedar Hill): The daring Connecticut-to-Texas move has proven to be a failure for @Vasherized but Cine (pronounced seen) remains undeterred. The very highly-rated safety recently moved to Texas and visited UT yesterday. He gives the visit glowing marks and really enjoyed Craig Naivar. He wants to major in business so UT has his attention. He’s an early enrollee but in no hurry to make a decision. Like Vash, when pressed for favorite teams growing up he named fencers.

Calvin Anderson, OL - Rice (grad-transfer) (TEXAS): The man-of-many-talents will be back at Texas practice on Saturday. He's in constant contact with Herb Hand, absorbing every bit of info he can so he's ready for voluntary workouts in June and 2-a-days in August. We'll have a full Q&A with Anderson in the Scoop.

AND ANOTHER GRAD TRANSFER

It's no secret Herman is in the gathering talent mode. Texas will exhaust all resources to find graduate transfers that can contribute immediately, or simply upgrade the roster. Last year it was Syracuse grad-transfer TE Kendall Moore, who turned out serviceable after Andrew Beck and Cade Brewer's season-ending injuries. Now it's the aforementioned Anderson for the 2018 season and Texas might not be done.

Wake Forest WR Tabari Hines is now on the market. After notching 683 yards on 53 grabs, and seven scores in 2017, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound slot receiver is looking for a new home.

"(Texas) expressed their need for another playmaker," said Hines. "To go in with the good group of guys they already have, I mean it’s Texas. They love football and have a lot of pride in winning and sending talent to the NFL. That’s right up my alley.”

There are a handful of other programs pushing for Hines' services, but only Texas has a visit scheduled so far. We’re not saying that’s telling. We’re not saying it’s not telling.

“Oregon, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Kansas State are talking to me," Hines said.

His decision timeline looks to be a month away. He doesn't want to waste any time and prepare for his final collegiate campaign, in hopes of getting the NFL's attention.

“End of April more than likely,” said Hines.

QUICK NOTE: Katy Taylor 2021 OL prospect Hayden Conner will be visiting Austin next weekend. So will West Mesquite WR Dylan Wright, who will be on an UOV.

Per TFLoss, Brainiacs said he'll be in Austin for the Texas Relays but won't meet with the staff due to Jimbo's no visit policy.

They also mentioned a high rated recruit should be on campus tomorrow but no name was given.  Hopefully Leal or Tyler Johnson.  Maybe Stripling though?

If I were Dermani, I would wonder what it is that Jimbo is afraid of. 

Fing this. 

Bobby Wolfe = Curt Flood 

Such a courageous young man.

E.J. Holland: Texas recruiting notes from Swoosh 7v7 practice

— Elite 2020 Southlake Carroll defensive back RJ Mickens said Texas is one of the schools standing out the most to him early on. Mickens believes he is very close to earning an offer from the Longhorns and wants to get back on campus for a visit soon. The four-star prospect actually spoke to Texas Director of Recruiting Bryan Carrington a few days ago, and the two had a productive conversation. It wouldn’t be surprising if that offer does come in the near future.

— Darius Snow, the nation’s top safety in the 2020 class, said he had a great conversation with Texas safeties coach Craig Naivar this week. Snow was actually supposed to visit this weekend but had some schedule conflicts. Snow said he is looking to visit the weekend after next or for the spring game on April 21. He has high interest in the Longhorns.

— There hasn’t been much movement with Coppell defensive back Jonathan McGill since I reported on him last week. He is keeping in touch with the Texas staff and hopes to make a visit at some point this spring. McGill would be an excellent fit at the nickel position, but right now, the Longhorns are going all in on Jalen Catalon.

— Some 2020 prospects that Texas is keeping tabs on are Rockwall wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Aledo wide receiver Money Parks and Keller Central athlete DJ Graham. All three hold P5 offers and will continue to rise this spring. Smith-Njigba and Parks visited Texas last summer and hope to get back this summer.
