Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

A few stats I pulled regarding summer recruiting. This is all from 247's database. Could be off +/- a guy here or there, but it's probably in the right ballpark. In 2024, we had 41 guys OV during the two June weekends. That doesn't count a random guy that visited by himself in early June or the punter. It does count Ty'Anthony Smith, who visited midweek between the two weekends. 19 of our eventual 21 signees (again not counting the punter, but counting Smith) came from those two OV weekends (90%). 19 commits out of 41 June OVs is a close rate of 46%. The two additional signees OV'ed in December (Filsaime) and January (Butler) 12 of the 19 (63%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes Trey Owens, who had committed before June OVs 2 players committed elsewhere following OVs before eventually flipping to Texas (Wardell Mack/Florida and Smith/aggy). 2 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped to someone else (Aeryn Hampton/Bama, D'Antre Robinson/Florida). In 2025, we had 42 guys OV during three June weekends. That counts 3 guys that visited midweek between those weekends. 21 of our eventual 25 signees came from those June visits (84%). 21 commits out of 42 June OVs is a close rate of 50%. The four additional signees OV'ed in October (Williams [after committing in August] and Justus Terry) and November (Littleton and Hicks [after committing in September]). 14 of the 21 (67%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes 9 guys that committed before OVs started. This also includes Josiah Sharma, who committed to Oregon following OVs, but flipped to Texas in late July. This does NOT include Kade Phillips, who committed to Texas in July, flipped to LSU in August, then flipped back to Texas in December. 3 players committed elsewhere following OVs but eventually flipped to Texas (McCutcheon/FSU, Charles/FSU, and Sharma/Oregon) 3 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped elsewhere (Mills/Washington, Brandon Brown/LSU, and Phllips). For 2026, we had 41 non-specialists OV during three June weekends. 18 of our 19 current commitments as I type this visited during June OVs. Derrek Cooper has not OV'ed yet. 18 out of 41 is a close rate of 44%. 3 June visitors remain uncommitted as I type: Davon Benjamin, Jake Kreul, and Keawe Brown. It does not seem like Brown is a take for Texas at this time. Obviously, all 18 of those have committed before August 1. 6 players were committed before OVs started (Dia Bell has been committed for a fucking year already) In past years, we had a couple early commits that never made June OV with everyone else. I'm assuming those guys were cut loose. Interestingly, all of our pre-June commits made OVs this year. Already 1 player that committed elsewhere following OVs has flipped to Texas (James Johnson, Georgia) As you can see, despite a rough start to July, we are tracking very closely so far with the 2024 and 2025 cycles. Personally I was mildly surprised to find that, because the string of recent losses made things seem worse than they are. Based on the two previous years' of data, I think we can make some inferences about how the rest of the cycle will play out: We will stay competitive with Benjamin and Kreul We will probably lose 1-2 guys from the current class that aren't a big deal (i.e., cut them loose) We may lose 1-2 guys that we don't want to lose We will probably flip 1-2 players that OV'ed in June but are currently committed elsewhere (Malakai Lee, please) We will bring in a handful of guys for OVs in the fall and have a good hit rate with them. -
Call me wacky, but the Astros are about to be overloaded with Starting pitching. How bout we trade one of those for that lefty hitting outfielder or even prospects?

No I just meant that once in a while a song would come from somewhere other that where you would normally expect, in this case a Billy Joel song, that had a killer trumpet solo (2 actually)...

They comped Benjamin to Earl Thomas on Coffee and Football one day this week. If the comps are Earl or Mathieu, then yes he should absolutely be a top priority for Texas and he'd immediately become my favorite player in the class if he committed. -

The other issue is a lack of credibility. Long term rates are a function of the sense that the American banking system is independent and neutral to politics. This is political horseshit. While the Fed has always been political, it has also always been independent. That’s not a “Rogue agency” that’s an independent central bank operating in a free market. Well, it managed to keep a fiat currency operating as the world’s value reserve for 50 years, allowing people like you and I to enjoy tax cuts and fairly stable prices over a long period by exporting debt to other countries and getting imported tangible goods in return, so it seems pretty successful to me. If that looks like failure to you, I’m curious what you think a successful central bank looks like. I’m old enough to remember when I was on Hornfans shouting from the rooftops about position of the dollar and the the exploding debt while you were caping for the 2003 Tax cuts and increased structural deficits as far as the eye could see, not to mention the Iraq war. If you really want to do this take it to the Cloak Room. And bring your shine box. -

reverse polarity I would be an alpha male driving RAM truck with with my nuts swinging side to side with a bald eagle mural wrap on my tailgate squawking "MERICA!!!" as I drive on the highway (the bald eagle squawking not me). the suburban housewife doesn't sound so bad so long as I can scissor with my tennis partner after long margarita lunches. I'd drop the rest, though on a pontoon boat with different music isn't half bad way to spend a thursday night.

I mean...you know there's at least a 25-30% chance of this happening, right? In fact, they might bulldoze the LBJ library to make room for it.

In Texas, the governor and AG and the US DOJ are launching a full-on assault against a muslim community (the EPIC community)....which would be open to anyone and would not require adherence to or practice of any faith. But this place? It will be held up by those same folks as a "model of American restoration" or some shit.
