    Flipping Ryan Williams and having him reclassify to 2024 would make for an amazing WR haul.  It'd be like the 2017 Bama haul.

    Williams & Wingo will be our *Ruggs & Jeudy, while Parker Livingstone will be our Devonta Smith. 

    Then, toss in Freddie DuBose for good measure.

     

    *without the whole reckless driving manslaughter conviction

    Is my sarcasm meter off regarding the bolded? lol

    UCF and Kansas might be ranked depending on how they play over the next couple of weeks, but UCF plays plays Kansas and KSU over the next month.

    Overall, there is no excuse for Texas not to be playing for a conference championship in December.

    John Rhys Plumlee is out for "a few weeks" according to Malzahn, so I don't know if UCF will be making it into the polls.

    I think Milroe is a damned fine option at QB if you have one of either a dynamic TB or a 1st round caliber WR. Might need both, but Bama has had both together in the past. Milroe is a beast on the ground and he's got quality leadership skills. He needs help. 

    Apparently Simpson is just an unmitigated bust. The true freshman might wind up being the guy if they move away from Milroe.

    I think they roll with Milroe or Holstein for this year, and Sayin wins the job as a true freshman next year.

    I could see them making a run at Liepold and Traylor. Both would be solid hires, but if they wait until after this season they may both be gone. 

    Liepold signed a looong extension this offseason. Looks like the buyout is $6M

     

    "Kansas football coach Lance Leipold has signed a new contract that will keep him at KU through the 2029 season, the Jayhawk athletic department announced Tuesday. According to the contract details, Leipold’s contract begins at $5.0 million for the 2023 season and increases by $100,000 every year through 2029. It averages out to $5.3 million and tops out at $5.6 million in 2029.

    Here are the buyout figures for the deal: If Leipold terminates the deal on or before April 30, 2023 it’s $12.5 million. The buyout drops to $6 million on May 1, 2023 and to $5 million on May 1, 2024."

    Ha. I didn't know this happened. We were watching that game on a tv, but we had 6 other games going and the TCU/CU game got most of our attention. We made a lot of fun of Butch Jones during those games, so I wish I had also seen him meltdown. 

    Napier, Jones, Venables. These are coaches at risk of very, very short tenures at their schools if things go poorly this year. Could be funny.

    hahahahahaha

    Texas basketball continues busy month on recruiting trail

    Hank South (Horns 247)
     

    Texas basketball recruiting has been active over the last month. The Longhorns staff landed five-star combo guard Cam Scott in August and have started welcoming official visitors on campus the last two weekends, with more to come.

    Here’s a look at the main prospects of note at the moment.

    Tre Johnson, 5-star SG, Brandon (Mo.) Link Academy (originally from Lake Highlands)

    Johnson officially visited Austin for the second time the weekend before last, spending quality time with Rodney Terry, the coaching staff, Dillon Mitchell and even some of the football team. The Longhorns are part of Johnson’s top six, the 247Sports Crystal Ball currently trending towards Baylor. He has more official visits upcoming to Alabama and Waco.

    Curtis Givens III, 4-star PG, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

    One of Texas’ two official visitors this past weekend, Givens is considering a handful of programs like the Longhorns, Georgia Tech, Indiana, and LSU, among others. Sources tell Horns247 the visit was a success and there’s positive vibes in regards to UT’s chances at the moment. This weekend Givens will be in Bloomington where the Hoosiers will try to work their magic.

    Josiah Moseley, 3-star PF, Round Rock (Texas) Stony Point

    Joining Givens this past weekend on the Forty Acres was Moseley, and just like his fellow official visitor, there’s optimism that Texas is trending in the right direction here with a strong showing throughout the local standout’s stay. Texas has proximity and familiarity in its favor, up against Georgia Tech, Illinois, Villanova, and USC.

    Asa Newell, 5-star PF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

    The football star power will be in Tuscaloosa this weekend, but the basketball star power will be home, as the five-star forward makes his highly anticipated official visit to Austin. Texas is taking on Auburn, Georgia, Gonzaga, and Indiana, among others for the 6-foot-9, 205-pounder.

    Liam McNeeley, 5-star SF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

    Monteverde Mania as another top target resides at the Florida powerhouse. McNeeley will return to Austin for a second official visit later this month, with programs like Indiana and Kansas presenting the chief competition.

    Robert Miller, 4-star PF, Pasadena (Texas) Pasadena Memorial

    The in-state forward will officially visit Texas at the end of September. He’s considering Alabama, LSU, Colorado and the Longhorns. A decision is likely to come after the OV slate, with the Longhorns getting the last crack at it.

    Nicolas Codie, 4-star PF, Carrollton (Texas) Newman Smith

    Codie trimmed his list to seven in late July, with the Longhorns making the cut. "They made it known that I am their priority,” he told 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins. “Coach Rodney Terry always sends me texts. We are always texting back and forth. We have a really good relationship. They went pretty far last year. It is a really good program and they send people to the draft. Dillon Mitchell will probably go to the draft next year and they will need someone to fill his role. I feel I would be a good fit for them because I fit their scheme. It is a big thing to have an offer from there and who would not want to go there?” Codie is expected on campus in Austin for the Wyoming game weekend on an official visit. Others in play include TCU, Virginia Tech, LSU, Houston, Miami, and Auburn.

    Aiden Sherrell, 4-star C, Napa (Calif.) Prolific Prep

    Sherrell pushed back his commitment date last month with Texas becoming more involved. Alabama was considered the favorite prior to the delay. He doesn’t plan to visit Austin this fall, at least not at the moment. He says he feels he knows everything he needs to know about Texas via his communication with the staff. No new commitment timetable is known.

    Cooper Flagg, 5-star PF, Monteverde (Fla.) Monteverde Academy

    The No. 1 player in the country recently reclassified to 2024. As things look now, it doesn’t appear Flagg will end up in Austin when all is said and done, but the Longhorns have been and will continue to recruit him. Duke is trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

    Gerry has said he thinks we absolutely crushed the Tre Johnson visit and thinks we probably lead (and that the NIL he can make here is greater than what he can get paid to go the G-League route).

    I would feel worse about this if we didn't already have D'antre Robinson and Alex January in the boat. Obviously it would be better to have McKinley as well, but those two players represent a solid DL haul, with Hills as a development piece. I'd still like to pull in one more guy if McKinley isn't going to Texas in light of how many guys we probably lose after this season. 

    Are there any other DL that we're seriously pursuing, or are those three the HS class for 2024 and we'll see who hops in the portal?

    aside from a late senior riser, thinking it'll be more continuously trying to flip McKinley or the portal.
