Higgins is using us as his backup school imo. I don't mind keeping the seat warm in case Stanford doesn't work out for him, but I wouldn't waste any resources on him that could be better used elsewhere, like our last few OVs this summer.
The staff is handling this right, they had him for an unofficial, but they rebuffed his attempt to get an OV and have offered several other WRs in the last week or two.
Banks didnt get an OV this spring and he got all pissy and ran to aggy. kay, next man up, no problem.
And while we will entertain Higgins and yes I think the back up school is what he sees us as, we arent gonna spend an OV on somebody who has bounced around so much.
Texas laid the gauntlet down at the WR position. They offered project guys thatd cut your throat ( hyperbole? maybe) to come to Texas.
Statements been made. texas is good at WR. If we gotta take a few project guys , we will. but the offers are out, and guys are gonna start biting. better get it while the getting is good.
I like this move a lot. Cuts down on the prima donnas. lets see how it plays

I am curious to see how we manage his recruitment, we should have him camp and compete IMO. I like all the recent offers more than him as a take.
I hate to bring this word up on this thread, because I know what can happen.
But maybe the "Stanford" thing aint working out for him. I havent heard of him being accepted yet.

Yes. That would be 4 games he plays against Alabama as opposed to 0.
I dont know about you, sir. But the way I look at things, Texas could be playing Bama 3 times in the next 3 years.
Have you tried my Kool-aid?

They could also just get really, really aggressive and sign Green. I'd prefer not to see it, myself.
If aggy has the shit year they look like they will, and we can pull all our strings together and mark a 10 plus win season, and play for the conference title. I'd be really suprised if Green would stay aggy.
That word "trajectory" aggy been throwing around here lately will come back and smack them in the face.

2017 class had 18 players. 2018 had 27, with 9 being early enrollees (Rising, Thompson, Grandy, Eagles, Cook, Stearns, Foster, Adeoye, and Bujcevski). I'm not sure if Grandy counts towards the 25, since he was a transfer. Assuming 7 counted back to 2017, we could go up to 30 for 2019.
thats 30-31 we can take....if we have the scollies. I dont think we have that many in straight numbers, without attrition.
whoda thunk after the last 2 years, we'd be wanting attrition?

All these WR offers is going to create some pressure on these guys to claim their spot. Wonder if Wright would move his timeline up, but he’s a take even if we already have 5 maybe even 6 if you count a player like tongue
They might be lookkng at the long game. WR is always Deep in state. We missed on the top guys this year.
So they might be thinking after the top guys they are all projects. So lets force these guys to commit now.
Might miss on wright. But in the long run, so what?
Then we can focus our attention on positions of more need.
They think they are gonna win big next year( im drinking that koolaid) so they think theyll get theirs next year.
Might be a good strategy. Also.might affect othe guys like Noah Cain who wants to wait till the end. Hes already odd man out at LSU and tOSU. Due to classes filling up.

Yeah, I’m asking the math.
24/7 shows 27 signees with 8 enrolled. But that includes the juco Grandy.
That means 31 is this year’s max if all 8 early enrollees counted back to 2017, and we can get 6 early enrollees this time.
But it would depend on how many we will have at any given time. You can only have 85 on roster. But 25 per year. So attrition is figured in.
I think in just looking at the numbers we have less than 25 available. The math will allow us to take up to the 31 with the EE caveat.
But that is dependent on freeing up the extra scollies. Which is dependant on attrition which is hard to judge this far in advance.
I guess?

What is the hard cap for this cycle, 25+ how many available from 2018? Ignoring the 85 because that’s never an issue.
It depends on how many early enrollees we can roll back to this year.
25 is supposed to be the max. But then you play math. Not my strong suit.

Yeah. Heard thats the word on Ellis. Hes been waitingnon this offer for months. And the worry was, hed get pissy for being kept waiting.
Looking like that might not be a problem.
But it might be a problem for our other targets. It looks like the staff has told these guys ro piss or getnoff the pot. They want to fill their WR list now. And anybody who wants to wait, wont have a spot.
I wo ji ld like to apologize for my intoxicated typing. Momma would be ashamed.

All TE's should redshirt. Very good athlete and under rated. I like his film and frame similar to the way I liked Conner and Cosmi's.
You can't coach great feet. Most the coaches new this is where he was winding up.
They say Liebrock.might not RS
