  1. Cross-posting some Longhorn goodness. FULL TEXT ALSO ...
  2. SIAP ... FULL TEXT AND ...
  3. Happy Friday night 🙂 (This guy's supposed to be an Aggie athletic dept. insider ... ) More? Narrator (in Morgan Freeman's Shawshank Redemption voice) - "Jace said "Let's go!". And he went. Went 4 for 48, with 25 strikeouts, to end the season." Even more? And ...
  4. Lulz ... Edit: Confirmation that he meant Texas (and not Notre Dame ...). And yeah, sure, they were "the team", the "hunted" ... lulz.
  5. Some notes from Gators 247, Clemson 247, Miami 247 and Horns 247. GATORS 247 - MOCK CLASS BY THE NEW DOPE WHO REPLACED BLAKE ALDERMAN Blake Alderman left, they have a new guy there. He published a mock class. Of recruits we're interested in, he included - - Heze Kent - Luke Wafle - JaReylan McCoy - Valdin Sone - Kendall Guervil CLEMSON 247 - NOTE ON RB CARSYN BAKER (Been hearing Derrek Cooper chatter to other schools (including Ohio State) - is this guy seen as a backup plan / replacement?) MIAMI 247 - MOCK CLASS BY GABY URRUTIA JAMARION CARLTON - COMMITTING JULY 10th, VISITING TEXAS JUNE 6-8 FROM HORNS 247 MALAKAI LEE - TOP 4 (Had mentioned this before, here's the tweet. Think he said he's committing soon/July.)
  6. Joe Cook CBs Kaydon Finley to Texas. And Eric Nahlin put in a Texas pick for a DL ...
  7. Your Saturday Smorgasbord 1) Horns 247 - Valdin Sone (from ... Sweden 😏) 2) Horns 247 - Kendall Guervil 3) LSU 247 - LAMAR BROWN (Lulz .. ) 4) Georgia 247 - Malakai Lee Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha offensive tackle Malakai Lee has finalized his official visit schedule. The No. 1 offensive recruit in Hawaii, Lee had a final six of Alabama, BYU, Georgia, Michigan, Texas and USC. Now he’s down to four- with BYU and USC out and the final four being Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Texas. He already took an official visit to Georgia on April 10 and the official visit to Michigan has long been set for June 20. But the other two dates are locked in. Lee will next hit the road next weekend when he takes his official visit to Alabama on May 30. It will be a quick turnaround, with Lee set to return to the mainland to visit Texas on June 6. He'll return to the visit slate on June 20 when he visits Michigan. And a decision could come shortly after. “I was thinking a week after I get home from my last trip,” said Lee. A four-star in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, Lee is the No. 14 offensive tackle nationally and the No. 2 recruit in Hawaii in 2026. He has already been selected to play in the 2026 Polynesian Bowl. 5) Horns 247 - Grayson McKeogh (May be a tough pull from PA, but Flood only offered May 19, and we've made his Top-3 ... ) 6) Vodney Cleveland
  8. Well ... Aggies vs. brick wall. Props to LaViolette, though. Gutsy performance.
  9. Of course Billy reposts this ... Also, what do these guys have against brick walls? This was today: This was a couple of days ago, after defeating Miss State:
  10. A few gems here. FROM LONGHORNFRENZY'S SCREENSHOTS, ABOVE Aggies lead in winning the "equivalent" of 10 games ... Don't ever - repeat, ever - "goat" absolutely "distracted" by Georgia, people ... FROM THE AGGIE 247 THREAD FOLLOWING ELKO'S COMMENTS (Candidate for a tagline ... 😂 😂 😂 ) FROM AN AGGIE 247 THREAD ON AGGIE ATHLETICS
  11. On Zaden Krempin, from Horns 247 (Hank South) Texas offensive coordinator and OL coach Kyle Flood made two stops on Wednesday night -- one to see four-star offensive tackle John Turntine III and another to visit four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin. Horns247 has long projected the former in UT's 2026 class. That remains unchanged. But for Krempin, Horns247 is starting to hear more Texas chatter speaking with sources about the Prosper product. It's not a huge shock considering Krempin has been a regular on the Forty Acres, and has an official visit set to Austin for June 13-15, but we have yet to dive in on projecting him in the class. I feel better about the prospects of that happening now more than I have so far in this recruitment. We'll continue to see how things play out going into OV season. Krempin has visits set to LSU, Texas A&M, SMU, Texas, and Michigan. (HANK SOUTH)
  12. Lulz. At the Brazos Valley A&M Club. The libations must have been strong. And copious. And imbibed sans inhibition. (The last time they had 10 players selected? 1976 ... when they apparently had at least 14 rounds in the draft.) Lulz. "Retained the coaching staff." Ha ha ha ha ... had to fight the poachers off with baguettes and breadsticks!
  13. (From the thread following the post above, on Lott.) Some really good info from Scruggs, comparing Lott and Bishop. And below, a couple of clips of Lott. Man, I want both of these guys on the roster.
  14. (Top-50 national recruit, two-way player, two-way Texas legacy, in-state recruit ... Lott riding on this recruitment.) Chris Jackson is turning up the heat on Texas' pursuit of Top247 ATH and Longhorn legacy Jalen Lott Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247)
  15. Aledo Top247 WR Kaydon Finley details his recruitment as it heads down the home stretch Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247) After the article, he added this 🙂 ...
  16. 1) Najee Harris had 43 catches at Bama; not far behind Metchie, w/ 55. (Smith had 117 - lulz - and Waddle was hurt, but still, 43 is a good number.) 2) I think Sark/Arch will do what is best for the offense, and if Edwards has the ability, they will find a way to use it. And catch totals under the mid 40s could still be material for a back. 3) Edwards and Arch will overlap for 1 year, max. 4) I believe the bigger point is Sark has proven that he can use backs as pass catchers, and do so very well, when the circumstances and opportunities are right. And that's got to be a positive, particularly for Edwards. Here are a couple of excerpts from his scouting report: "Progressively getting more targets in the passing game, including 30 catches as a junior. Displays impressive ball skills and body control as a pass catcher." "Experience in myriad formations and personnel scenarios for a perennial Texas 4A contender."
  17. Dates/quotes from KJ Edwards. "The third week of June is when Texas is having all their big visitors and commits, and coach Sark told me that would be a good time to come and be around all of those guys, so I think we are going to move that visit back to the third week of June. We are still deciding on which date for the LSU and Alabama visit, and I'll be at Texas A&M on June 13." "I don't think there's another that uses their backs in the passing game like Texas. Nobody uses their backs better than them in that way." (Good point, and the statement suggests the staff is emphasizing this. Wisner and Blue caught 44 and 42 passes respectively. (FYI, those numbers were more than those of Wingo/Moore - not suggesting the staff would call this aspect out 🙂 - just putting it in context).) FULL ARTICLE Top247 RB KJ Edwards previews busy slate of upcoming official visits The recruiting process can open doors to new experiences and opportunities, and that's exactly what's happening for KJ Edwards.

  18. Good note from Jordan Scruggs (Horns 247). Just some football thoughts about a handful of prospects, and on recruiting. Without the usual clichés and bullshit. Excerpts/key points (complete article spoilered at the end) - Jalen Lott is the safest bet in the entire state of Texas (NFL potential on both sides of the ball, and very high floor) - Keith Dotie is going to be a harder flip than previously expected (SMU commit, 3-star DL from Mesquite Poteet) - Chris Stewart will sign with Texas - There’s a sleeping giant in south Houston Fort Bend Crawford 2027 Top247 wide receiver Alvin Mosley - Jermaine Bishop committing to Texas caught other schools completely off guard - This will be Texas’ best offensive line haul since 2022 - Few programs have done a better job with true athlete types than the Longhorns, and they’ll continue to reap the rewards from it going forward (Jelani McDonald, Wardell Mack, Aaron Butler, Jonah Williams, Michael Terry III, Nick Townsend, Lance Jackson, and Jermaine Bishop) - The 2027 in-state class is a better class top to bottom than the 2026 in-state class, and there’s more depth as well - I like my crystal ball for Kaydon Finley Finley makes his decision on his fourth of July commitment date.

  19. This made me guffaw. (Emiley Kennedy is one of their star pitchers - got hit tonight. And I think LaViolette went 0-10 in the Georgia series.)
  20. Holy smokes! Aggy baseball - falls from preseason #1 to unranked, faster than any other team in history. And tonight, Aggy softball becomes the first #1 seed ever, to lose in a regional. To Liberty.
