    Bryce Young 2.0? Elite QB KJ Lacey talks Texas commitment

    Hank South
     

    AUSTIN — Texas landed a special talent at quarterback on Saturday afternoon in Top100 passer KJ Lacey of Saraland (Ala.). How special you might ask?

    “The first time I met Coach Sark, he was like ‘Man when I looked at your tape, I wrote down on your notes ‘Bryce Young 2.0,' Lacey told Horns247 shortly after his pledge. “He recruited Bryce since the sixth grade. He said y’all’s personalty is just alike, on and off the field. That was one of his main attractions towards me. He can see me at Texas. He loves what I’m doing at Saraland.”

    And what Lacey is doing at Saraland can’t be understated. The Top100 signal caller guided the Spartans to a Class 6A state championship win, passing for just over 3,100 yards and 40 touchdowns, to just five picks. Programs across the country took notice of Lacey’s efforts, offering in droves. It was developments over the course of the last few weeks that Texas emerged from the pack as the pick.

    “I came a couple weeks ago and everything was just perfect,” Lacey said. “I came by myself, though. My parents didn’t come. I came back home, told my parents about everything, and they said man, that sounds like it’s the place for you. So I (would) just keep on communicating with the coaches and everything, figure out everything I needed to know. I came back and talked to Coach Sark and Coach Milwee and I was in a meeting with Coach Sark and I told him then. He was fired up.”

    Lacey officially had a top nine he released earlier in the week that included some heavyweights. But there was no bigger challenger than Alabama when it came to landing Lacey’s commitment. In fact, it was Alabama that prior to Texas’ surge, was the favorite.

    “Alabama was on top for me,” Lacey said, reflecting on earlier this year.

    So, how did Texas pull this off?

    “Really just the relationships with everybody I have up there,” Lacey said. “All the coaches, as soon as I walk in the door everyone’s like, ‘Oh KJ, what’s up, what’s up, what’s up?’ You walk in and the attention is around you. Everyone is really close. I talk to Coach Sark, Coach Sark is really cool. I love Coach Sark. Just what he does with quarterbacks and his offensive schemes. Basically they were like when you leave Texas you’ll be NFL ready. They were like you’ll learn every part of being a quarterback. That was really the main thing.”

    And for an in-state recruit to leave home, there’s typically at least some pause. Having both his parents and sibling on this trip to Austin helped, though.

    “For me, it was kind of easy, really,” Lacey said. “With everybody around me, my family. Being in Alabama, everybody is like when are you committing to Alabama? But the relationships and the communication, everything was there with Texas.

    “My parents, everything I told them when I came back the first time, they said it was real and 100 percent authentic. … Texas just stood out the most by far over everyone.”

    Quarterbacks typically commit earlier in cycles so both the player and staff can build the class around them. Lacey is teammates with a very high-profile recruit in five-star Alabama wide receiver commit Ryan Williams, the No. 4 overall player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

    “I’m going to work on that soon,” Lacey said of recruiting Williams. “I already have, really. I’m definitely going to try to get my boy to Texas. I’ll be with him almost everyday, really. Hopefully it’s kind of easy. We’ll see how it goes.”

    And beyond just Williams, Lacey is going to turn his efforts towards others as well.

    “Everyone that I knew up there, even people I didn’t know, they were talking about the (commitment),” Lacey said of other recruits. “They were like, ‘Alright we’re going to talk.’

    “I”m going to have the people I’m trying to get and I’m pretty sure they’re going to tell me people I need to recruit. Whoever I need to go get, I’m going to go get them.”

    As for his own recruitment, Lacey didn’t rule out keeping the door open for other programs. He’s a 2025 recruit so you would expect schools to remain after him.

    “I’m not 100 percent sure,” he said of taking visits elsewhere. “Once I get everything figured out, I’ll communicate that with everyone. I’m not sure if I’ll have anymore visits.”

    Lacey did say he has nothing planned for the rest of June at the moment. He will be in Tuscaloosa, however, for the Texas-Alabama game in September.

    Texas fans need not worry, though. Lacey is turning his attention to repeating atop the state standings this fall.

    “Don’t wanna lose any games for sure,” he said of his junior season goals. “I want to stack up on my stats from last year. State championship, for sure. No matter what happens — state championship.”

    And the Saraland standout wants to extend that to Austin.

    “I want to come in and win some championships,” he said. “That’s the main thing they were preaching. They were like, this upcoming year will be great. The quarterback room they have, they’re talented. They were telling me they were ready to win some national championships.”

    Lacey had the chance to spend time with Quinn Ewers and had dinner with Arch Manning on Friday night.

    “He came down to Saraland to throw a couple times with Coach David, QB Country,” Lacey said of Manning. “He was just asking me about how it was over there all the time, the competition we play. He asked if I was going on anymore visits and everything. We were just talking, really.”

    Lastly, Lacey let Texas fans in on what they can expect from their future signal caller.

    “On and off the field leader,” he said. “When I come on to the field, I’m going to come work. I’m a winner. I hate losing. Love throwing the ball around. And I make good decisions.”

    I happened to know about the kid as I was listening to ND recruiting, by accident, radio a few weeks back. Those dudes thought they might have a shot at a true hidden gem.  On first impression, he does have the frame of Bryce Young and their game is similar, but KJ plays with more ease and swagger.

    ...The point wasn't to say one is better than the other.  But we should look to solving our own issue with this practice that is still widespread and defers to perverts and morons whose belief in invisible friends has done real harm to others.  We can spin it as 'medically advantageous' if we want, but we are making an excuse.  

    Your argument is weak and is akin to those who cried that being gay is perverted and furthermore being gay has done harm to others because they are more likely to be a pedo.  We can spin your point of view away from NOT being medically advantageous if we want but we are making an excuse for phimosis, paraphimosis, bacterial infections, STI's, or other male circumcision issues.  See how that works.

    Bumping this thread. My adult son and I were planning a trip to the galapagos, but tur a variety of reasons that's now not going to happen. We are now planning on going to Colombia. Probably 3 or 4 days in Bogata and 3 or 4 in Medellin. Read thru these pages and appreciate all the info so far. Any specific restaurants we should visit? We'll do a lot of small local places, but always looking for a nice meal or two. Other than what's already here, any other must dos or sees? We both speak Spanish, so language is not an issue. 

    From what i here the answer is a bunch of hookers and cocaine

    Here's something stupid that keeps popping up on Texags. It's almost as inane as telling someone honestly doubting their team to "grow a pair."

    Often, you see someone write, "why do you care, it's not your money," as though that's some brilliant way to shut up the concern about all the funds Jimbo is absorbing.

    Their basic argument strategy is to short circuit anything intelligent before it takes root. 

     

     

    Sounds like several posters here.
