    He is up there as one of the top football players I've seen live where I thought he could house it any time and from any where. Super exciting runner and a great Longhorn. Hook'em!

    Gerry on Simmons

    I'm going to break down my thoughts on Collin Simmons recruitment in three parts. 

    The Beginning:
    Having made a number of visits to Duncanville High over the last few years and talking to the No. 5 ranked prospect in the 2024 class, there were some key takeaways. 

    He always maintained he would play in the SEC. That has not changed. I do not expect that to change. 

    LSU was always a school mentioned in the last 2-3 trips by the school or convos about the recruitment. He genuinely likes LSU. 

    Simmons also always said Texas would be in his recruitment until the end. He's got a lot of familiarity with Texas, as do people in his circle. 

    Both Texas and LSU were mentioned early, and often along with other SEC programs. 

    The battle:
    Simmons continued to speak highly of LSU. Prior to his junior year, LSU was in a good spot for sure. Jamar Cain leaving the Tigers for the Broncos definitely slowed the momentum. 

    The entire Texas staff has done a very good job in this recruitment. Steve Sarkisian, Jeff Banks and the entire defensive staff. The official visit June 23-25 was a home run for Texas, and exactly what the Longhorns needed. Simmons does feel a bond with a number of Longhorns players. And the Alpha Simmons knows he has the opportunity to the EDGE version of Kelvin Banks for the Texas program. 

    The end comes August 10:
    I do believe Colin Simmons knows where he is going. The timeline moving up illustrates that he knows where he is going. Now it comes to announcing out his announced three finalist with LSU and Texas continuing to be center stage. 

    There has been little doubt about who would be the players at the end of this recruitment, and that Simmons would end up staying close to home. That has not changed with anyone that myself or Justin Wells have spoken with on visits to the school or with people very close to the recruitment. It's been very consistent. 

    My On3 RPM sits with Texas. And it remains with Texas as I hit post. Of course, we will keep monitoring the recruitment. There is a week until the announcement.

     

    Gerry's ovaries are on the table. Or rather his Boudin balls. 🤘🐂

  3. I trade multiple things throughout the year for a Vegas CFB weekend with my buddies and being able to watch games all day with my buddies when Texas is away somewhere. This is the right strategy. 
    The right strategy is to marry someone who demands we go to games in person and all in-season gatherings at the home only involve fellow Horns. My currency is foot massages through the season though.
