    I love the 12man foundation isn't associated with the university stuff. I just don't know how much scrutiny that would Bear up to.

    -The building is on university property.

    -They are the primary(maybe only) direct source for aggie sporting event tickets.

    -They are directly associated in so many ways its ridiculous. 

     

    The paperwork may say independent organization, but they certainly don't operate in that manner.

    They used to be a client of mine (I know, I didn't form the relationship or push for them as a client) and they are 100% associated with the university.

    Gerry has said on several occasions that the best high school receiver in Texas is in the 2025 class (Dakorien Moore). Between the WR talent we pulled in 2023, the WR talent that can be had from the portal, and what's coming up in 2025, I won't sweat us losing Hudson. 

    Pretty sure he even said Moore is the best WR in the state regardless of class, so take that FWIW

    Regarding the numbers and the takes, it really looks like things are getting interesting and weird. Spoilered due to length of post.

      Reveal hidden contents

    QB (1) - Done with a lifer, OKG glue guy that might want to be a coach.

    TB (2) - Done with two national recruits and will be the best TB haul in the country.

    WR (3-4) - They obviously like Dubose. If he's back to normal, he'd be a top 100 recruit. They won't move him that far at this point, but if he shows out, Texas crushed it by taking major value without a lot of competitive friction. Smart.

    Livingstone is in. OKG or Jagger or both. I'm still personally baffled on this one because they clearly made him a priority.

    Do they really take Hampton? If they do, that will be the 2nd WR in this class in which I am deeply skeptical of his ability to produce at a national title winning level. "Trust Sark" and such but that's not how I follow talent acquisition and roster management.

    That would leave them living or dying by Wingo and it's not clear who leads on that one. They purposefully punted on Gekyle Baker, got played by Hudson (we all did) doing some dirty shit in cahoots with the Tech staff, waited too long on Bussey, and never showed much interest in the guy out of Silsbee or Jasper that liked Texas early and he'll wind up at ATM. 

    If they fail to land Wingo, I don't see how WR is anything above a C+ grade. I can only get to that grade if they land Hampton and he stops being a complete flake. The portal is obviously going to play a big role at this spot.

    TE (1) - Sounds like Washington is in. I'm not under the impression that they want a 2nd TE in this class, but I guess that wouldn't totally stun me if they found one they liked.

    IOL (3) - Kibble is in. I believe that, all things equal, they decided to take the guy from Texas. Maybe they feel like Ivy is too much attention for a guy they like but don't love. Cruz is in. Calhoun is viewed an interior guy by the services, at least. Saina too. Would they take both? Seems unlikely, so do they slow play Saina until Calhoun makes his decision? I don't even know who else is on the board at this point besides Brooks, who I addressed. Seems like they've been fine watching a bunch of other guys go elsewhere in what is considered a down year in Texas for OL.

    OT (2?) - I assume Uini is still a high value target. Is he really heading to Michigan? It's curious that they didn't have him visit this June. They're obviously all in on Baker, but so is everybody else. He'd be a very big, momentous announcement for Texas. Not sure when he's scheduled to announce. They never pushed for the Beaumont guy and didn't seem interested in fighting for Warren. They missed on Daniels. Maybe they see Saina or Calhoun at OT? Another position that could go really well or finish with a headscratcher.

    DL (4-5) - I assume January announces soon and he's in the fold. Then you have a group of guys that seem like would be an excellent haul if Texas landed any 3 or 4 of them. Okoye, Robinson, Hills, McKinley, Lindsey, Blocton and Jackson. Obviously McKinley would be the crown jewel, but the staff and people in the business think that a number of these other guys are terribly underrated. 

    Edge (1-3) - Until I actually understand the optimism for Simmons, I still don't like the LSU visit on 11/13. Land him and the group gets an A, even if it is a group of 1. They're clearly after Omeozulu. They like Nigel Smith at Edge if they can keep him from announcing before he visits in the fall. Ross was a fantasy. Warner seems like a guy that, if he announces a commitment to Texas, tells you that some other things haven't gone our way. I feel like they've been on some other guys but they're not coming to mind.

    LB (1-2) - If House wants to come to Texas, do they take him? They punted on Weedon. They've lost Smith to either the allure of tinseltown or the dim lights of College Station. Do they think Lair can spin to LB? The third spot in this class along with WR and OT where I'm not sure what in the actual fuck is going on.

    CB (3) - Wilson is in. I think Black announces for Texas. There's a lot of optimism around Gipson.

    S (2) - I think Rubell announces for Texas. Myles Davis or Lair would be the other guy? 

    Nickel/DB (0-2) - Do they take Bridges as a CB also? He's tall and lanky, maybe they see him as a utility guy. Maybe Lair is the NB/LB hybrid type. Mack's a CB and a total long shot, but they'd take him if he wanted to come. 

    P (1) - Done.

    I'm guessing it is a 24-28 player class and the only reason they finish at 24 or lower is because the guys they wanted didn't come and they didn't want to risk a bad take due to portal optionality. If they finish at 27 or more, they had to have gotten into a feeding frenzy with a bunch of guys they wanted riding along with a great season. 

    I'll say this, they have passed on a lot of highly ranked guys that had legitimate interest in Texas in order to take or pursue other guys they liked better. Let's hope they're getting the evaluations right, because they're the ones driving the direction in state right now.

     

    Re: OL recruiting - seems like we are not really communicating with Uini and didn't even bring him in for an OV. Calhoun is seen as a LT take. I think they'll take Saina, Kibble and Books as interior guys. Calhoun and Baker as tackles (if Baker wants in).

    Corian Gipson used to be listed at Safety. 247 and On3 changed that to CB just recently.

    That's why I lean to him at least starting at S.

    Johnson-Rubell is being recruited for the NB spot.

    I remember hearing that, but on a live stream yesterday, Gerry compared him to Jalen Catalon (not the biggest or fastest, but super instinctive) and I know he plays S at IMG, so that makes me think he starts at S as well. Black is much more suited to CB or Nickel imo. Guess we'll see if he ends up in the class.

    Is a Wilson a CB or a potential Safety?  Wilson, Bridges, Black, Gipson, and Rubell would be an elite DB haul.  All of Black, Gipson, Wilson, and Bridges are listed as CB's on the services.

    He's got pretty elite speed, so I would think CB. Him and Bridges seem to be the true CB takes this class while Black falls into the Nickel and Gipson and Johnson-Rubell at Safety.

    Also, Adrian Wilson the D. From AZ to add to those 5. 
    we will take 4-5 of those 6 before moving to other options. 
     

    Lsu already has 5-6 DBs committed, im sure 1 could be an Ath playing WR. But they don't have much more DB room in 24.

    Pretty sure you're thinking of Santana Wilson: https://www.on3.com/db/santana-wilson-174649/

    Tex is right, and I'm pretty sure Wilson is in the second tier of guys on the boars after those top 5.

    Also, what's the deal with the Duncanville Safety K'Davion Dotson?  Are we not after him?  LSU boards think he's not a take now with three Safety's committed.  Lair and Davis ahead of him on the board?  Gipson or Black viewed as a Safety.

    Lair and Davis are probably ahead, but also all five of the top of the board are still on the board (Black, Bridges, Gipson, Johnson-Rubell, Mack), so we likely haven't had to move that far down the board.
