Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

I know I've seen Winfield's name all over the scouting/recruiting reports. Most of these others do not ring a bell. It's a dang shame Gerry was deprived the chance to give us an "Hola!" silent commit update. Top rated Texas high school defensive lineman, according to On3: -

Until now I didn't have hard evidence, but now there's no convincing me otherwise: the NFL is just as corrupt as the NBA and the SEC, and they want to be in bed with the money handlers at TU. Yeah, I'm sure it's PURE coincidence the NFL draft worked out for Green Bay to conveniently land Golden, just as Texas is recruiting Finley. Everyone knows Finley's top choice is Notre Dame, a midwest school with genuine Catholic, American values. No shock the Sips are calling all their friends (including Goodell) to trick Finley into abandoning his first love and following the skank down the street. She will chew you up and spit you out, my man. This is personal for me. I've been a loyal NFL combine and NFL draft watcher since my great uncle Terry put me up on his shoulders so I could watch John Roper run drills at the 1989 combine. But what I saw this year sickened me, and I had no choice but to take a deep breath, gently turn off the TV, and find something more deserving of my hard earned time and money. NFL is never getting another DIME from me. The free marketing for the TU defensive end -- a 4th round pick! -- as he walked to the podium and bear hugged by Goodell (or should I say, Bad-ell). What other 4th round pick IN THE HISTORY OF THE DRAFT got the red carpet treatment? /texags- 4680 replies

I haven't watched his at bats but the stats after 13 ABs give the impression Jonah Williams is not overwhelmed by the step up in competition. 0.563 OBP and 2-2 in stolen base attempts.

"Now how in the hell are we supposed to compete with that guy!?" he exclaimed just as Parker Livingstone plucked the ball from the air and double toe-tapped in bounds for a scrimmage ending touchdown.

I want to believe, but I'll take it with a grain of salt. It's rare to hear about the QB igniting energy AND buzz in spring workouts. Energy, yes, any D1 starting QB should inspire energy around practice. But buzz doesn't just grow on trees. Buzz being ignited this early in the calendar is a very good sign.

Robison is right, but even that group had a few stinky wins, too. They played down to their opponents more than once in that golden era. In 2004 VY had to pull a rocket out of his ass and then get a big assist from Tony Jeffrey to barely win against Kansas to keep that season alive. Yesterday was another ugly win with glaring concerns on both sides of the ball. Depending on Ewers' status, I'm not sure if I'm more worried about the disappearing offense or the disappearing Watts-less secondary. Anyway, on to face a team full of married 26 year olds. On the bright side, the ball carriers looked pretty nice. I loved seeing Baxter in limited touches. He looked like he's feeling really good, more decisive and faster than in earlier games. I assume he's healing from the lingering injury. Texas will have to get the best out of him alongside Brooks. Red is maybe completely out of the doghouse, and you know what they say, you can take the dog out of the house, but you can't keep the dog out of the house.

And if fruitless self-flagellation is all you're here for, then, by Jove, you've come to the right place. -

Great weekend so far. Thank you to the posters who provide frequent updates on players, CBs, etc. on this and the other recruiting threads. Looks like Texas has made a significant shift in its "OV hotel room swag" game. Whereas too-large-to-eat cookie cakes and (IIRC, during the Strong era) football-shaped cake were fashionable for many years, candy assortments now dominate the recruiting hotel room sweet tooth landscape. The RB combo of Gibson and Clark is pretty wild. Clark would be a centerpiece recruit at a lot of schools. That dude can slip and slide. And to think both RBs committed in spite of Baxter's karaoke performance! -
With his frame and height, it's a shame the coaches haven't sat him down already to explain that his best position is strong side defensive end. /IanBoyd

Let's go! A special shout out to all the USMNT peeps out there streaming U17 world cup matches and awful Concacaf U20 feeds over the years. The investment is paying off!

The report could have been more specific. Sanders from Ryan High School in Denton will be starting.
