    I doubt Kyler bolts unless he is a high draft pick. He probably makes more as OUs QB than what he would in the minors without a big signing bonis.

    I agree in principle. I think Kyler is determined to give it a go in football. 

    A lot has changed with signing bonus slotting, but the more clever teams seem to find work arounds. It'll depend on the round and the team. 

    Let's say Murray goes in the second to Boston. Things could get interesting.

  2. Watson + Catalon and the rest of the 2019 DB class is gravy. 

    I could see Richardson visiting in the fall. I know Naviar is conceding nothing here, but Texas might want to give Aggy an opportunity to embarrass themselves on the field.

    I mostly agree, although Tongue probably has the best chance of eventually being able to play in space out of the group, but he'd also probably waste half a season figuring out that he can't play WR here. But like you said, he's a U-Lab kid, so LSU could probably swoop in last minute and flip him. 

    LSU fan complaining about IMG is hilarious to me. 

    U Lab is like IMG, but on LSU's campus.

    Orlando spoke quite a bit about cross-training in the back 7 because he's not keen on rotating personnel. The recruiting strategy on defense this cycle aligns perfectly with that philosophy. Also makes sense for the secondary because I don't think the pure corner talent in Texas is all that great this cycle.

    Agreed. I've seen Marcus Banks projected as a corner, safety and Rover. I think Texas likes him a corner, or they probably wouldn't bother recruiting him like Erick Young and Bobby Wolfe. Banks seems to have the hips necessary for corner. 

    I'm glad Texas loaded up in 2018. Watson is a take in any cycle. Banks feels like a slight reach to keep enough depth in the program to reliably run a dime defense. 

    Catalon is hopefully Earl Thomas 2.0. He can play anywhere in the secondary, but he will most likely be a safety if he signs with Texas. 

     

  5. Herman has praised Warehime's recruiting abilities. 

    I don't think Mehringer has a redeeming quality. I get the feeling he's an ass kisser and knows how to navigate staff politics. We've all worked with somebody like this and marveled at how they've kept their jobs for so long.

  6. I can't remember where I read it, but Texas covets Davis. I think there's a lot of work behind the scenes we're not seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's No. 1 on their big board. 

    I would take Davis, Gbenda, Henry and keep Tongue warm. 

    Tongue plays at U Lab and has said he wants to play offense. Two big knocks against him. 

     

  7. Rian Davis is pretty long, but extremely athletic with good hips. He can definitely play Mike, but I like him better at B-Backer. He could even play a big Rover. 

    I like Orlando's blueprint here. Get guys that are athletic enough to play all three LB spots. 

  8. Notre Dame is always going to be in the picture with private, Catholic high school recruits. 

    I think they'd do a lot better in California and Arizona if they focused there. They're asking for it if they focus on Texas, Louisiana, and Florida.
