EJ and intel--oxymoron

Despite our great DB class last year, Kenyatta will probably see significant playing time next near. And, the team is on-track to have a better year next year than this year. I hope he isn’t over-thinking his situation. He’s got a shot with us to end up as a contender for the Thorpe Award.

Watson’s dad, good lord. There is no reason for Pappoe to be heading to Tennessee, other than Tennessee has upped the price of poker for anyone dealing with Grayson guys. I wouldn’t light your cigarettes yet, but needing to because we’re getting fucked isn’t out of the question. That’s from a better place than EJ fucking Holland. 

How hard is Oregon actually pushing Caleb Johnson? It doesn’t seem like he’s a priority and he knows he is for Texas. Should be an interesting and important weekend for us with that one. 

ATM is as weary of Shepherd as we are. He’s an important recruit only from the rankings and perception perspective. I’ll take the opposite side of any bet for any amount of dollars that this guy amounts to more than a one year starter somewhere, at best. Dude could be out of football before his eligibility is up. 

Texas feels good about Higgins. I think they’re sniffing their own farts on that one. 

It would take a crazy set of events for McCoy not to go to USC. They’d have to term Helton and hire Jeff Fisher or Del Rio or extend Helton after beating Notre Dame or something equally insane. 

Hookfin has become a must get. 

Separate note — 

They like Epps as something like LJH and not as a TE. 2018 class still looks great across the board and the 2017 group is an overachieving unit.

Seeing teams like Pearsall in the playoffs is an absolute joke. They were 4-7 on the year. Hell a local team made the playoffs with 2 wins! When the hell did we go to every damn team making the playoffs? Lets get back to having to win district to make the playoffs. 

 

Old guy rant over.

 

Whittington is a beast!

Everything points to Bru going to USC. I still like the effort and it was worth the investment to take a shot. 

If Texas lands Hookfin, that’s only two lineman that you can count on and we lose three. Are we going to circle back to a Coker or JUCO? 

Seeing Epps in the last game, he is almost certainly a WR. Some sort of major body transformation had to happen for him to be a tight end.

It seems like they are definitely looking for a JUCO/Grad Transfer OT to add for next season.   Myron Cunningham is a JUCO that was offered last month and is supposed to visit after the season.

They’ll take another OL. They also will look at the GT market. They also know the 2020 and 2021 classes are loaded with OL and they look good on their top targets early. I think they’ll wind up with 4 OLs in this class and Shepherd should then immediately be discounted for discerning fans. If they don’t land him, maybe they finish with 3. GT is not a part of my numbers. 

The Bru recruitment works for me. They have daylight on getting him and that’s worth it.

You go to an SEC feeder high school, this kind of shit happens. The kid and his mom seem to really like (the real) UT so hopefully they'll push back on that.

CTJ ...Rockin' great info..... ðŸ¤˜

Always a concern for an out of state player like Watson when the Father might be looking to be rewarded as well....... Vols will keep the pressure on here.

Shepherd has some maturity issues..... definitely concerns there. Got to get Hookfin, JUCO Caleb Johnson (LB), JUCO Jacoby Jones (SDE), and hopefully Cain.

Great take on Epps " as something like LJH and ï»¿not as a TE".  Makes me wonder if a Grad Transfer blocking TE is added.

Any more thoughts on positions that HORNS might look to add  Grad Transfer players?

They should move Jamison to corner when he goes back to defense in a few months rather than nickel. Kenyatta could help next year more as a punt/kick blocker than anything.

We've offered this guy as well and is supposedly visiting at some point.  I don't think he's a January enrollee though.

When we debated about whether or not to take a third tackle on this board a month or two ago, this is why I was all for it

I'm not optimistic about JS being in the class, or if does end up signing with us, being a contributor. His real value is that aggy thought he was all wrapped up and he ended up committing to us. That was funny.

That, and he should help with his Julio Jones esq teammate, who will have a similar recruitment but on bath salts

Jay Williams might be one to watch

https://www.hudl.com/video/3/4076409/5be87739d469390ae0a3f43e

Regarding Cunningham, he's taking all five OVs, and with JUCOs, the overwhelming factor is always immediate playing time. He's likely take one to Texas, but currently his two scheduled OVs are OU this upcoming weekend, and one to Arkansas. Considering OU just kicked a 2018 JUCO off the team who was likely going to start in 2019, they have a nice playing time sell. Playing time is about all Arkansas can sell at this point. Not getting my hopes up here, which is a shame because he's one of the better JUCO OL I've seen, similar to Traore last year.

If Pappoe is a factor in Kenyatta flipping to Tennessee, root for his recruiter Travis Williams to keep his job. The original reason Pappoe committed and has stayed solid to Auburn was almost solely due to that coach, and with the defense and linebackers struggling lately he's come under a bit of fire, but if he stays, then Pappoe is much more likely to stay. 

Of course, if Pappoe doesn't factor into Kenyatta, then it doesn't matter.

According to the San Diego St website - Jay Williams as a freshman in 2016 was a 6'3" 240 pound defensive lineman.  247 says he was at San Diego St for 2016 & 2017.  Then transferred to Grossmont college for 2018 - and is now a 6'6" 290 pound OT. 

So he has 2 yrs to play 2, correct?

As a Bulls fan - this possible recruitment hits close to home.

He looked awfully good in that tape. I guess his issue is bad grades.

Not a bad idea if the staff goes after him considering the only proven back on the roster will be Ingram. Don't want to get in a habit of relying solely on true freshmen for the run game.

I think a JUCO RB would be a backup plan for Cain/Sanders (or just Cain), both of whom are early enrollees who play against the toughest competition in the country, are polished in pass pro, good receivers, and physically mature, thus should be able to contribute meaningfully with the first team game one

We really need pure speed at running back. Danny Young can fill the role of heavy back goal line sledge hammer. He'll never be fast, so just throw another 20 pounds on him and use him as our defacto Cody Johnson
