Do we have any predictions?

 

ill go with Tyler Johnson dropping because no camps.  

Jake smith will drop a bit and they will say his competition is why his numbers are so good.

Kenyatta will move up, because of the visiting other(sec) schools.

Sweat should move up.

They will find a way to drop the Wiley from Temple since he doesn’t play TE in High school.

they will bump some aggy to create a fight for number 1 in country just watch.

Thanks man, was a shot in the dark but want to try and understand where guys fit generally - I feel like I have a decent understanding of DL and LB positions (and DB overall) but WR is just not something I have a great grasp on!

Know Wilson/Higgins aren't coming here but wanted to see where they fit!

Expand  

Wilson and Higgins both play the X but we also pitched Higgins to play slot like LJH. However, I think Herman would really prefer to have a speed guy like Jake Smith in the slot given the choice.

In Herman's offense, the receivers are as follows:

X - big outside receiver (Collin Johnson, Washington, Lewis) usually to the boundary

H - slot receiver, half receiver/half running back type, (LJ, Jake Smith, Whittington). With more slot types, the offense can feature 4 and 5 wide with two slots.

Z - speed, speed, and more speed outside receiver to the field side (Duvernay, Houston)

Y - tight end (Beck, Brewer)

T - running back

 

Wilson was recruited as a H primarily but also as a Z.

Higgins was recruited as a H and a X.

🚨🚨 

Update on 5️ #ATH Bru McCoy (24/7):

“I love the program, primarily the coaches and the environment,” McCoy said. “Austin is a really cool city. The program is on the up and up. You look at Coach (Tom) Herman and what he did at Houston and now transferring that to Texas, you can see where the program is heading.”

“Coach Herman brings this up-tempo energy about himself, and he’s very charismatic,” McCoy said. “Coach Mehringer is a really genuine and nice guy. He cares a lot about his players, specifically the receivers, in all facets of life. The relationship between me and Coach Herman, Coach Mehringer and Coach Beck is strong.”

“The message they’ve conveyed to me is the best way to grow as a person is to make yourself uncomfortable,” McCoy said. “They think I can stay at home and be comfortable. But if you want to grow as a man, you have to step out of your comfort zone. Texas offers a great place to grow, and Austin is a great city.”

“Austin is different. The culture is very football based. They are all in football fans. Going to the game and watching 103,000 people scream chants, I’ve never experienced that, and you don’t get that experience in California given the number of teams. Texas is the football school that represents Texas, in my opinion."

“Austin has a lot of different aspects to it music wise, and you have the lakes. It’s gorgeous. And you have the city. It’s a cool place.”

“He’s (De'Gabriel Floyd) recruiting me as hard as anyone has ever recruited me,” McCoy said. “Gabe is one of my friends. I know he has my best interest in mind but also, I know he wants me to be his teammate. Me and him did get to play a little in 7-on-7 in the offseason. He’s a freak of a player. He tells me why he’s going there and why he’s so confident. He told me I shouldn’t be worried because we have each other’s backs. He’s done a great job of making me comfortable if that were the decision I were to make.”

“It’s a tough comparison,” McCoy said. “They are both different and the same. They are very rich tradition programs that go way back. People look at the Vince Young run to the end zone to beat USC. Obviously, they blew USC out this year. But the programs are comparable in the sense that they are highly competitive and strive to be the best.”

But, I thought Wilson wasn't that fast - Speed, speed, speed - Z?

That is a good quote.  Reads like his head is here and heart at USC.

I think I would like this, too. LJH is awesome, but man, I'd kill for some speedy YAC.

Yup.... we need USC to completely meltdown.  He wants to be an early enrollee.  Need Helton to be fired so he doesn’t know who is coaches will be.  Only way i see us getting him.

I’m sure Bru is going to be impressed by Helton going 6-6 and getting fired.

Bru so wants to just be a "USC guy" (like many of us on this board are Texas guys, no matter what).  I hope Bru comes to Texas - he won't regret it if he does - but personally I'm backing away from this one for awhile.

I am intrigued by the Williams RB, though.  I love those Newhouse types that can actually play (and Robert was a PLAYER both at UH and as a DC), so if we can get us one, let's get us one, lol.

Next year we'll have at RB

Keontay

Daniel Young?

Toniel? 

Derrian Brown.

 

would we look at bringing in 3 rbs.  figure Toneil is gone.  Not sure about Young.  

Probably not the best allocation of spots, but that's a pretty dicey depth chart unless I'm missing someone.

 

Brown, Cain? DJ Williams.

 

Williams can RS

 

I'm sure this is ridiculous but that RB room is thin unless we look at GT

I'm hearing that we're back in the running with Wilson. He really likes all of the shady shit that Smith accused Herman of doing. He's still probably going to OSU, but if Herman can get caught trying to cover up  abuse scandals or maybe running some kind of homeless person fight club ring, he might be able to land Wilson.

This reads like “visiting fan” fan fiction.

Damn.  Dude has a UH offer, and is coming here as PWO?  Hell yeah!

Based on his offers, and that he goes to Episcopal so in-state tuition should be quite doable, I'm sure he's able to look at the longterm values of those two degrees and make the smart choice.

This is gonna be kinda stereotypical, but his HUDL film looks like a cross between Max (Rob?) Cummins' and Max Wright's.  Kid has a decent frame and could potential grow into a good looking 4i prospect.  He could also grow into a decently sized blocking TE.

The fact that he's basically a free recruit is fucking awesome.
