  1. Mike at Night: Robinson (Not a lot of new stuff here)

    Spoiler

    —When I spoke to sources this weekend about the Bijan Robinson visit, the feedback was incredible. Many times, sources are guarded when it comes to talking about prospects like him, but there was a lot of rave reviews on both sides after the weekend. So, imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to a mini-meltdown on twitter regarding Robinson and Ohio State. With that in mind, I thought I’d use this space tonight to assess the situation.

    —It’s not uncommon for multiple schools to feel confident about a prospect. A lot of what is being reported today didn’t line up with what I was told this weekend, but other reporters are getting their information from different sources. From what I was told, Texas was best able to sell the depth chart for Robinson, and Austin had the right mix of everything he was looking for. I reported in the past week that Ohio State was a concern after his official visit there, and it seems this is now a two-horse race.

    —I reported yesterday that I was hearing Ohio State would probably be the pick for Robinson’s teammate Lathan Ransom. I did some checking today, and Ransom hasn’t given Ohio State a silent commitment from what I can tell. Still, I think the Buckeyes are in prime position coming out of the visit. The interesting thing I’ve been told is that Ransom and Robinson won’t influence the other. While that mantra has been repeated to me multiple times, it’s hard to imagine the two don’t talk compare notes.

    —Robinson likes to lay low. He doesn’t even use his twitter, and he’s not really about the spotlight. I’ve got some people who are in Atlanta checking on some rumors for me, so I’ll figure out where things stand on that end. We’ll be able to speak with some sources next week at The Opening to add some more detail to it. The die is pretty much cast with the dead period setting in, although coaches can still have contact with recruits. This one will likely play out over the next month, but I can say there was a lot of confidence in Texas when Robinson left campus.

  2. Fong comment regarding Robinson: "Sources around Texas like their position with Robinson. Smoke was strong yesterday around OSU (going back to his official) and growing with other sources."

     

    Roach comment at 2:50 PM: "I did some digging on Robinson and will have something in Mike at Night. Short story, I've heard nothing but rumors and guesses so far. At this point, I'm not willing to come off of my crystal ball [currently set on UT]."

    Doesn’t Broughton work with FWK?  He recently posted everybody wanting to play for Jimbo. 

    Yeah. when FWK got involved in his "training", that's when the 247 recruit people started talking about things changing in Broughton's recruitment behind the scenes and other random things.

  4. Roach: Stampede (2021 relevant)

    Spoiler

    — Five-star Virginia Beach (Va.) Princess Anne cornerback Tony Grimes and his father made the visit to Texas after seeing Texas A&M and Oklahoma earlier in the week. The Longhorns are going to have to topple some giants in this recruitment, but I feel like they have a good shot if they really go all in.Texas A&M has an early advantage because the Aggies have been building this relationship for a while. Texas is making up ground quickly though, and if the Longhorns keep trending in this direction, they will likely receive an official visit next year.

    — 2021 Texas commit Quaydarius Davis talked about the Dallas to Austin movement, and he credited Ja'Quinden Jackson with leading it. Davis himself said he was working on recruiting for his class, and he also said his love for Texas was what made him shut things down early. There’s something real here early on, and the Longhorns can totally turn the tables in an area of the state where they’ve struggled in the last few cycles.

    — Speaking of Dallas guys, Savion Byrd received a lot of attention over the weekend. I’ve reported in the past that I think Texas is in prime position for Byrd following Jackson’s commitment, and Byrd spent quite a bit of time on campus Saturday. Byrd is very quiet, and it doesn’t appear he has a timeline set in stone yet. This has the feel of a kid who could pop at any time.

    — DeSoto defensive end Shemar Turner was offered when he visited. He talked about wanting to stay in state, and he said that the Dallas-area prospects are talking about making that happen. I think Texas put itself in a good position early, but it’s likely he’ll take a bunch of visits and see the rest of the in-state programs.

    — 2021 Richmond Foster OL Reuben Fatheree said he had the opportunity to see more of campus on his visit. I get the feeling that he’s in no rush to make a decision, and I think that Herb Hand is starting to make a difference with the Houston-area prospect. Fatheree comes from a family of coaches and athletes, and they will take their time to find the right place. He would like a chance to play basketball, but he said it isn’t a deal-breaker.

    — Everman ATH Juan Davis isn’t a name familiar to most recruiting fans, but it probably should be.The 2021 WR/TE was offered by the Longhorns a month or so ago, and he said that Texas is really the only school pushing for him. Davis is a big-bodied receiver who is built like a thicker version of Lil'Jordan Humphrey. When we talk about great early evaluations, this could certainly be one.

    — Four-star Katy Tompkins quarterback Jalen Milroe returned after earning an offer a few weeks ago.He enjoyed coming back to build more of a relationship with the coaches and players. Milroe and his family spent some time with Tom Herman early in the day, and he’s very interested in Texas. He’s been looking into the offenses Herman ran over the last few years and said there are similarities between it and the one he runs in high school. Milroe said that Texas was a childhood favorite for him.Texas has been in a great spot with Preston Stone, but Milroe is looking to make some moves quickly. This one could be very interesting in the next month or two as the Longhorns figure out their 2021 quarterback situation.

    — Kennedale safety JD Coffey also returned shortly after he received an offer from Texas. The four-star prospect has a great relationship with Craig Naivar, and Texas is extremely high on his list. Coffey said he loved the laid-back environment at Texas during the Heat Wave, and he’s looking to make his decision following his junior season.Coffey’s mother loved the parent panel, and she spent some time with Caden Sterns’ mother. As of now, I would put Texas out in front.

  5. Roach: Stampede (2020 relevant) 

    Spoiler

    — Texas started off the week with some fireworks when Kitan Crawford announced his commitment.As I’ve mentioned, Texas did a great job evaluating and recruiting Crawford as if he were a big target before he was ranked like one. It sounded like Crawford was actually close to shutting things down in the spring, but some late offers caused him to delay so that he could look into those schools. In the end, Texas landed the most athletic cornerback in the state with an incredibly high ceiling for development.

     Jason Washington would love to capitalize on that momentum and land another cornerback for this class. As I’ve said, Florida has good position in the recruitment of Jahari Rogers, and it isn’t a slam dunk for Texas. I’m told that Rogers had a good time on the visit, but he’s taking a very serious approach to the process. He’s been asking a lot of questions of the position coaches hosting him, and he really wants to see how he will be used and developed. Rogers is measured in his responses and careful not to give much away, but I think Texas eventually wins this one. It sounds like he wants to make a decision in a few weeks following his performance at The Opening.

    — Texas hosted four-star C.E. King safety Bryson Washington over the weekend. Coming into the visit, Texas needed to gain some ground on Oklahoma in this race. From what I was told, the Longhorns put together an incredibly unique visit for Washington, and they really wowed him and his mother. Oklahoma held a lead for a long time, but I’m feeling confident on Texas landing Washington coming out of the weekend.

    — All eyes were on Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic running back Bijan Robinson this weekend. After visits to Ohio State and USC, the race for the five-star back seemed to tighten up. Texas grabbed his attention during a spring visit with some coaches, and I’m told that the Longhorns picked up where they left off this weekend when Robinson visited with his family. With the dead period setting in and Robinson leaning towards a summer decision, I think Texas left a lasting impression on him. Ohio State will likely be the biggest point of opposition for the Longhorns, but I was told by one source that this is as confident as they have ever been in Texas landing him.

    — Bryan Carrington tweeted his trademark 'shhh' emoji to indicate a commitment on Saturday, but it looks like we will have to wait for a bit before this one is announced. I don’t want to give out hints or anything, but I would say that it’s not going to be a surprise if you’ve been reading this site.

    — I mentioned in my scattershooting article on Saturday night that Texas made some great progress with Calabasas (Calif.) wide receiver Johnny Wilson. Wilson came in for an unofficial visit after originally planning to come for an official. The Texas staff wanted to keep its powder dry with Wilson when it comes to the official, but it was a huge step to get him on campus this weekend. Wilson is huge on the family dynamics in a program, and Drew Mehringer is developing a strong relationship with the elite pass-catcher. Wilson spent time with De'Gabriel Floyd and his family during the visit, and I’m told that Texas is becoming a realistic option for him. Wilson indicated in the past that he’d like to make a decision before the season, but the dead period will ensure that there are no more official visits happen until the season.

    — Temple wide receiver Quentin Johnston sounds like he’s pretty open at this point. His relationship with Mehringer is strong, and he has his former teammate Jared Wiley helping to recruit him to the Longhorns. Johnston isn’t close to making a decision, and he’s using summer visits to learn more about schools as he tries to narrow his view. Sources I spoke with mentioned that Johnston is pretty tough to read, but I think Texas is in position to land the talented wideout if the Longhorns stay the course and keep on him throughout the season.

    — Four-star Bastrop Cedar Creek defensive lineman Alfred Collins remains a man of few words. His proximity to Austin allows him to visit rather easily, and his family seems at ease. Despite the hectic environment around a recruit during the cycle, Collins admitted that he rarely gets stressed with things. I expect him to treat the home stretch of his recruitment in the same way. He’s not going to rush things, and he will make his decision on his timeline. In a way, I feel like this meshes well with Oscar Giles and his personality. I don’t see Collins falling victim to a hard sell all of a sudden, but that’s just my read on it. On another note, Collins gets bigger every time I see him. He told us he was near 280 pounds on Saturday.

    — Four-star Manor DL Princely Umanmielen is still planning on making a decision in October. At this point, he’s heard just about every pitch there is from the schools recruiting him, and he’s focused on building relationships. The biggest battle Texas is fighting in this recruitment is its scheme and three-man front. It sounds like Texas is countering this pitch well, but official visits will play a big role in swaying Umanmielen.

    — Columbia (Mo.) Rock Bridge defensive lineman Jalen Logan-Redding is a name I’ve mentioned to watch down the line. He made three unofficial visits to Texas over the spring/summer and has been very vocal about how much he likes Texas. He’s planning to release a list of top schools soon, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him make his decision before the season.

     Courtland Ford made a visit to Texas over the weekend. The Longhorns checked in on him during the spring, and they’ve had some contact. Ford is close with Texas commit Ja'Quinden Jackson, and the former LSU commit is evaluating his options. Ford had two knee injuries during his high school career, but he’s done a great job re-shaping his body and getting down to a more controllable weight.Ford could be a guy that Texas offers after seeing a little more of him.

  6. Fong: Buzz coming out of OV weekend

    Spoiler

    Talked to a couple folks around the visitors in Austin this weekend.

    A lot of confidence regarding five-star RB Bijan Robinson and where Texas stands. Source said he likes USC, he likes Ohio State, no surprise he loves Texas, has best parts of both places in this person's opinion. I will add that confidence has been growing around Buckeyes sources since Robinson took his official the weekend prior.

    Sounds like it went very well with Bryson Washington. Obviously been a lot of smoke regarding Oklahoma in this recruitment. Seems to be optimism now he'll be a Longhorn.

    I asked about Jahari Rogers, Texas and Florida. I know the Crystal Ball reads Longhorns but Gators have momentum coming into this trip. Source said he thinks it's close, longer it goes, better for the in-state school.

    Y'all know my thoughts on Kitan! Terrific prospect, top of the board guy for several schools, big win for Texas keeping him in-state. Texas can only take guys like Kitan in the secondary. If it's below that standard they won't push the talent that's already in the room.

     

  7. Roach: Weekend Updates

    Spoiler

    —Four-star cornerback Jahari Rogers said he enjoyed his visit. He met with the coaches and really enjoyed the position meeting with Jason Washington. As I've said before, Rogers is serious about finding a school that can properly develop him for the NFL. Rogers will make his decision in a few weeks, and I think there's some confidence that Texas lands him.

    —Four-star safety Bryson Washington also enjoyed himself on the visit. Coming into the trip, Texas trailed Oklahoma. I think Texas did a great job, and it sounds like they may have a slight edge over their Red River rivals. I'll have more in the Stampede.

    —The feedback I've heard from Bijan Robinson's visit was outstanding. I think there were some nervous folks coming out of his last two visits, but I was told that Texas crushed the visit. Again, more in the Stampede.

    Roach comment regarding Broughton: "From what I've heard, I think this one comes down to Texas and A&M, and I'm not sure either feels it's a lock. I've heard this weekend that Arkansas is fading a bit."

  8. Other Fong comments: 

    Someone challenged him on his earlier prediction and he responded with 

    Spoiler

    Fong quoted his prediction from earlier: "Top247 in-state defensive backs in Jahari Rogers and Kitan Crawford have an eye on the SEC with Rogers feeling Florida and Crawford Tennessee. Tom Herman and his staff get their chance this weekend to change the dynamic of those recruitments. I think that those are two big visits with five-star Kelee Ringo looking more and more like he’s favoring Georgia at this point."

    What I wrote, Crawford to the Longhorns tonight.

    I don't have the entire thing pegged correctly, do my best.

    Nice win for the Longhorns on the trail. I don't think this was a layup for the in-state team.

    Spoiler

    I didn’t disagree with you, the intel is never 100 percent; I’m never going to hide, most of my stuff is on point and when I’m wrong I’m here.

    Still think he was very interested inVols tho.

    Roach chimed in with "I've had confidence for a while, but I can back Steve up that Tennessee felt very confident about their position as well."

     

  9. Fong is trying to play nice with the Texas site. Got on Crawford's commitment article and wrote "Top corner on several program’s board. There is standard being recruited in the secondary under this staff and Kitan fits that mold." in the comments

  10. Gabe Brooks Note on Kelvontay Dixon

    Spoiler

    Texas seemed like the obvious choice for a long time with Carthage star Kelvontay Dixon, especially given that his older brother is Longhorns standout running back Keaontay Ingram.

    But the longer Dixon's recruitment draws out, the more it seems that Texas is not going to push for Dixon in its 2020 class.

    With that in mind, I'm getting closer and closer to changing my 247Sports Crystal Ball pick for Arkansas in this recruitment. Arkansas has done a terrific job establishing a relationship and Dixon and his family, and Dixon has visited the Razorbacks multiple times. The numbers for Arkansas a bit tight right now, but they love Dixon and I think he has a spot there, ultimately.

    Arkansas wants to use him at running back, and Dixon's frame has gotten to 6-foot, 180 pounds. When I met him more than two years ago in the spring of his freshman year, he was 5-8, 150.

    While he may not wind up in the 220-pound range like his older brother, he very well could get to 200 pounds and provide a 12-carry, 10-target, plus return game type of all-purpose role for a P5-level offense.

    Make no mistake, Dixon is a very talented football player and his track exploits suggest his athletic ceiling is high. He recorded several sub-11.00 100-meter times this spring, including a top time of 10.71. He finished second at the Texas 4A state meet in the triple jump (46-10.25) and his 47-6 personal record tied for the best number in 4A this year. He was also a state qualifier in the 100 meters and a key piece of two state-qualifying relay teams at Carthage.

     

  11. Just now, Machinator said:

    Saying this for the second time in 24 hours: what a worthless update from Wiltfong.

    Yeah. Irritated reading that. So everyone likes [insert SEC team] and Texas will have to fight, but is in position to fight and hopes that fighting leads to a good outcome. 

  12. Fong: National recruiting intel on Texas

    Spoiler

    After two-straight top three recruiting classes on the 247Sports network, Texas has come out the gate a little slower in the 2020 cycle.

    That’s not what’s to say is already in the boat isn’t good. It is. Damn good actually.

    Nobody will hit bigger at quarterback this cycle than the Longhorns with the additions of Top247 athlete Ja'Quinden Jackson and fellow Top247 recruit Hudson Card, who keeps the Lake Travis Division-I pipeline going at nine straight.

    On the offensive line, four-stars Jake Majors and Logan Parr are physical, very intelligent interior players that will bolster the position room upon arrival, and there is a lot of upside with offensive tackle Jaylen Garth.

    Athlete recruit Jaden Hullaby brings some versatility not on the roster, potentially a fullback/tight end type that can line up all over, one snap providing an extra blocker and on another creating a mismatch to make a play in space.

    Texas is certainly in on some big-time players moving forward. In the spring it seemed like the Longhorns moved in front for five-star running back Bijan Robinson. That race has tightened following visits to Ohio State and USC. The Longhorns aim to remind the blue-chipper why he likes them so much this weekend. As it stands now I still think Jase McClellan sticks with his word to Oklahoma.

    Robinson's teammate at Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic in the country’s No. 2 safety Lathan Ransomhas been to campus twice this spring including his official last weekend. LSU at one point looked in control but Texas is positioned well.

    The recruitment for Top247 offensive lineman Chad Lindberg is another war that Texas has consistently been near the top but maybe LSU is giving him reasons to leave the state. Georgia and USC are in there too and the Aggies get their swing this weekend.

    Top247 defensive tackle Vernon Broughton has maintained daily communication with Texas and the Longhorns looked like the clear favorite at the beginning of January but now Arkansas and Texas A&M have made this one interesting to say the least.

    Top247 in-state defensive backs in Jahari Rogers and Kitan Crawford have an eye on the SEC with Rogers feeling Florida and Crawford Tennessee. Tom Herman and his staff get their chance this weekend to change the dynamic of those recruitments. I think that those are two big visits with five-star Kelee Ringo looking more and more like he’s favoring Georgia at this point.

    LSU is in the picture for Top247 linebacker Prince Dorbah. They’re going to make Texas work to win that one.

    I obviously still feel good about Top247 safety Chris Thompson Jr. and the Longhorns.

     

  13. Roach's Weekend Preview:

    Spoiler

    Official Visitors

    RB Bijan Robinson, Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic – Robinson is one of the most important targets headed to Austin this weekend. The five-star running back was really high on Texas coming out of his unofficial visit in the spring, and sources near him indicated that the Longhorns are in a prime position for him. Recent visits to Ohio State and USC made this race tighter, but Texas has the chance to win him over with a great visit.

    CB Kitan Crawford, John Tyler – Crawford is getting close to a decision, and Texas will get to make the final impression. After offering Crawford early in the year, Texas has been in a great position for the four-star East Texas prospect. Tennessee did a fantastic job recruiting Crawford and getting him on campus, and have been making it interesting for Texas down the stretch. Texas has the in-state advantage, and Jason Washington has the relationship with him to win the race.

    CB Jahari Rogers, Arlington – Rogers was one of the fastest rising prospects in the state during the spring, and he’ll take his official visit this weekend. Florida has been a legitimate threat to Texas, and the Longhorns will need to have a great visit to gain control over this recruitment. Rogers could be potentially deciding soon, and it’s likely between the Longhorns and Gators.

    S Bryson Washington, C.E. King – Texas looked to be in a good position with Washington during the spring, but Oklahoma seized momentum after his spring game visit. Texas hosted Washington for an unofficial visit two weeks ago, and the Longhorns will get him back for an official visit this weekend. This one is close to a 50/50 toss-up, so Texas could make a lasting impression before Washington’s July 4th decision.

    Commits

    OL Logan Parr, San Antonio O’Connor – Parr will be making an unofficial visit to help recruit for the 2020 class. He took his official visit in May, but his close proximity to Austin allows him to get there easily.

    OL Jaylen Garth, Port Neches-Groves – Garth also took his official visit in May, but he’s returning to Texas to take part in the big visit weekend. Garth committed in the spring, and he’s been locked in since that time.

    WR Quaydarius Davis, Skyline - Davis returns to Austin for the first time since making his commitment a few weeks ago.  The 2021 four-star wide receiver picked the Longhorns over the likes of Alabama, LSU and several others, and will be the voice of the 2021 class this weekend.

    ATH Jaden Hullaby, Bishop Dunne – Hullaby is the lone commit taking his official visit this weekend. Hullaby committed to Texas in March, and he’s been solid since that time. He’s using this weekend to take his one official trip.

    2020 Targets

    WR Johnny Wilson, Calabasas (Calif.) – Wilson was originally set to take his official visit this weekend, but Texas wanted to push the official to later in the year. Wilson is returning for an unofficial visit with his mother. Texas is trailing Oregon for the five-star wide receiver, but another chance to make an impression on him with the official visit in their pocket is positive news for the Longhorns.

    DL Alfred Collins, Bastrop Cedar Creek – Collins visited two weeks ago for a summer camp, and he’s returning this weekend. Collins doesn’t say much, but this race is shaping up to be a regional battle between Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma. Alabama is a threat as well, but it’s tough to see Collins leaving the state. After originally setting a summer timetable, Collins will now decide in the fall.

    CB Joshua Eaton, Aldine MacArthur – Eaton is making a return trip to Texas after showing up to a summer camp a few weeks ago. Eaton originally planned to wait until February to announce his decision, but he announced his top five last week and moved his timeline forward to the summer. Eaton is one of the corners Texas is considering, and the Longhorns will get more face time with him this weekend.

    S Xavion Alford, Shadow Creek – Alford is one of the top safety prospects on the Texas board, and he is another prospect returning after visiting a few weeks ago. Alford has been all over the southeast this spring, but LSU and Texas still remain the top contenders in this race.

    2021 Targets

    QB Jalen Milroe, Katy Tompkins – Milroe was offered after visiting last week, and his return to Austin signifies legitimate interest in Texas. Milroe’s dynamic ability allowed him to pick up attention from multiple programs, and he’s interested in developing his relationship with the Texas coaches.

    TE Lake McRee, Lake Travis – Lake McRee was offered in the spring, and the local prospect is said to be high on Texas. McRee visited several schools during the past few weeks, but this will be his first trip back to Texas since the spring game.

    DE Tunmise Adeleye, Katy Tompkins – Adeleye is one of the most important defensive line prospects in the 2021 class. The Longhorns are battling with Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Alabama for his services. Adeleye is visiting with friend and teammate Jalen Milroe, so the Texas staff will certainly roll out the red carpet for the elite defensive end.

    LB Clayton Smith, Texarkana Texas High – Smith’s rise during the spring was impressive to watch. The East Texas defender picked up offers from several big programs, including Texas. Smith is on a path to develop into one of the highest-ranked defensive players in the state, and the Longhorns are currently one of the schools he’s highest on.

    LB Reid Carrico, Ironton (OH) – Carrico was offered during the spring, and his trip to Austin shows a genuine interest in Texas. While schools in the Midwest will be tough to overcome, getting Carrico on campus will allow the Longhorns to gauge where they stand with him.

    CB Tony Grimes, Virginia Beach (Va.) Princess Anne – Grimes was another elite 2021 prospect offered by Texas in the spring. He’s making a trip through Texas to visit Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and the Longhorns. Grimes told Horns247 he was honored to be offered by Texas, and he’s looking forward to his first visit.

    2022 Targets

    LB Jordan Crook, Bishop Dunne – Crook is a linebacker who landed on the Texas radar after camping in Austin two weeks ago. An emerging linebacker prospect, Crook is interested in Texas, and he’s close with Jaden Hullaby.

    DB Denver Harris, North Shore – The 2022 North Shore prospect is exploding this summer after camping at so many schools and picking up big offers. Harris camped at Texas two weeks ago, and he’s returning to take part in the visit weekend.

    DB Landon Hullaby, Bishop Dunne – The younger brother of Texas commit Jaden Hullaby has been to Austin a few times, and he’s a prospect to watch in the 2022 class. Hullaby is an athletic defensive back with big potential making the trip with his brother and his teammate Jordan Crook.

  15. Roach: Update on Weekend OVs

    Spoiler

    Since this seems to be a topic on the board in multiple threads, I thought I’d offer a quick summation of what I’ve heard from the OV weekend.

    • I’m told that Texas did a stellar job with Lathan Ransom. In fact, I’m told the visit couldn’t have gone any better from their end. Lathan is still traveling home, so I’m waiting to talk to him. I think Texas did a lot to establish a strong position in the recruitment.
    • I’m told that Texas had a good visit with Jase McClellan. They were able to pitch a few different things that makes them unique among schools recruiting him. I don’t think they surged into the lead, but they chipped away.
      • In comments, Roach said there is still a long way to go with McClellan.
    • I’m told that confidence is high in landing Prince Dorbah. Out of all the recruits on campus this weekend, I was told that Dorbah opened himself up the most. No commitment happened, but I’d put Texas as the leader in the clubhouse.

    Guys, please remember that we always want to respect recruits on their visits and we gather intel after they leave campus. This weekend being Father’s Day made matters more complicated. Not only was I celebrating with my father and brother (who just became a father), the families of recruits and sources we speak with were also spending time with family after a busy weekend. Rest assured we will have a big rundown in The Stampede.

    Additionally, as much as many here bag on Drayton, myself included, what happens if we bag Robinson in this class, and get an early verbal from Camar Wheaton in 2021? If you're Herman, at that point, you probably can't part with Drayton either. That leaves you back to the Wareheim and Mehringer options. 

    Yeah. If Drayton gets those too, he's sticking around, but would love to see Beaty and Samples on staff.

    I was wondering about that too. Hopefully Beaty gets released soon and he and Samples can have RB and WR covered if we let Warehime go. We can pick up a DE/OLB coach/recruiter if we let Mehringer go. Probably need to keep Meekins for his Houston connections.

    Didn’t Herman just fly to LA to re-re-recruit Bru?

    Did you just compare a random kid at a camp throwing the horns down for a picture with Herman to a national top-10 recruit that was a part of the program but was thinking of transferring because he was homesick?

    Biggins: "LV landed the offer following today’s camp at Cal Lutheran. He’s one of my personal favorite WRs out West, more quick then top end fast but great hands and routes. Ohio State, ASU and Washington probably lead right now."

    Roach: "Kid was sensational at today’s camp. He caught the eye of Drew Mehringer, Tim Beck, and Tom Herman. They were impressed enough to offer, and Bunkley told me he really wants to make a visit ASAP."
