    I don't have time to post each name. Just because a thread doesn't have a lot of activity doesn't mean the info in it isn't useful.

    Midday Notes:

    The Aggies are sweating Evan Stewart HARD right now, as well they should. Texas has been in contact much of the day and UT recruits are working the phones as well.

    Texas is riding a Mavericks sized wave of momentum which is surely helping. Flipping Terrance Brooks was an attention getter, but big for Stewart was landing Quinn Ewers.

    It's Stewart, so anything can happen. Maybe a school from out of nowhere is in contention as well.

    Denver Harris is announcing after the state championship game on Saturday. North Shore takes on Duncanville yet again. He'll sign on Friday.

    Announcements upcoming are RB Savion Red (2:00 CST), WR Armani Winfield (4:00 CST), and OL Malik Agbo (4:00 CST). Texas should be in good shape for each, though, numbers could become an unforeseen factor. Remember what we wrote, demand is out-stripping supply.

    Three flips on NSD. WTH. Brooks was huge, and definitely caught the attention of Harris' circle (in a good way). Ethan Burke has big upside. Xavion Brice surprised me a bit -- didn't know if there would be room -- but he's a versatile piece, and more importantly for him, now a former Sooner.

    Omari Abor holding off on deciding until February is a huge win for Texas. We dropped hints regarding him the other day. The Duncanville EDGE would upgrade a very strong group. It appears we'll have plenty of time to cover that recruitment.

     I'm not going to lie. Today is fun.

    With as many talented receivers as this state puts out it’s hard for me to believe we end up with Stewart, a talented guy made out of glass and a bunch of JAG’s, but 24 hours out here we are and allegedly nothing appealing in the portal. 

    Our season ended a little earlier than most this year. I bet WRs hit the portal once players are done with finals and play their bowl games.

    Timing it for Thursday obviously creates a ton of smoke around that but I guess we'll see.

    Yeah, hard to know either way, but it seems like there are always weird timing issues with coaches that have been bought out. I can also understand why Sark doesn't want to waste time making changes with the amount of prospects that are hanging in the balance right now.

    they've already met.  I can't imagine that the role isn't already decided but don't have any certainty on that.

    I did hear he was in over a week ago but strange it hasn't been announced.  I can only assume there may be some contractual/money issue for Patterson if he takes a new job before a certain date.  we'll see.

    Only odd thing is that Howe said on his podcast that Gary only wants to be an on-field coach. Not sure if he's changed his reporting on that. Most others think Patterson would fill the Kill role.

    Jeff Howe reporting that Gary Patterson is meeting with PK and the defensive staff on Thursday to talk about a potential role on staff and see if it would be a good fit.

    I hope that PK gets a text during the meeting that one of our defensive coaches is leaving. GP can just slide on in. Just slide in.

    Have you considered our top 10 classes aren’t top 10 classes and maybe would be reflected as such if we were a school with a lesser pedigree?

    You're making an entirely different point. We're successful at getting highly rated players, that other schools want, to sign at Texas. Recruiting. The quality of our evals and developmental track record is a different discussion. Our track record suggests we could also sign the other "actually good players" you seem to be talking about.
