  1. Jimbo. “Ausbon is still with our team. Sometimes guys have taken time off to reflect on different things but he is still with us.” vid link will start at 3:51 with the relevant section ::
  2. via aggy247 :: Ausbon is reportedly considering opting out.
  3. Fuck that guy and fuck his clown-faced shit stick dad.
  4. Foster back out of the portal again. I guess he will opt out and try again as a grad transfer ...
  5. Yep. It's a gamble worth taking if you are USC right now. They are both NFL talents with a lot of shit going on outside of the sport. Getting them out of their current circle or people and situations and into a new environment may be enough, who knows. HUGE upside, esp. Davis. HUGE.
  6. You tell me. I honestly think he's a no-brainer take for anyone. I guess he's had limited number of carries (I see that as a positive). He has an upright running style but dude is gonna be 235+ pounds, I don't think it's going to make him ineffective. His current size and athleticism would make him one of the more athletic big RBs in the upcoming NFL draft. He's still in high school. Give him 3-4 years at Alabama or Texas and their S&C program? I can't remember which 9.95er wrote that he should play defense but there may just simply be a disconnect between the 9.95ers projecting him as a LB or simply not liking his RB skills. Look, Bama signed 3 guys in the 2020 class so they don't really need a RB but they are still pursuing 4 guys because they feel like they are takes regardless of their RB room. Camar Wheaton, Brandon Campbell, Armoni Goodwin, and Alton McCaskill. If I was doing evals for any of the 9.95ers I would go ahead and throw the film back on for those 4 guys and make sure that the 3 star ratings of the two Texas RBs is reflective of their talents and athleticism.
  7. My fear: he's going to end up at Bama and run for roughly 4 billion yards. They've started the dreaded Saban Facetime routine. Yes, this is a higher top speed than Camar Wheaton reached in his examples from RA -- except that McCaskill will easily carry 235 pounds in college and is already a lean 215.
  8. They took 9 fucking RBs over the 3 classes that Jimbo has had so far. NINE. Perhaps the problem isn't OOS vs Texas RBs but instead, and stop me if you've heard this one before, it's the fucking evals. Jashaun Corbin. Charles Strong. Deneric Prince. Vernon Jackson. Isaiah Spiller. Devon Achane. Darvon Hubbard. Deondre Jackson. Earnest Crownover. Fucking OOF. How many of these guys are actual RB takes for a P5 program? They haven't offered 2021 or 2022 guys like Alton McCaskill, Emeka Megwa, Brandon Campbell, Tavierre Dunlap, Jadarian Price, Jamarion Miller, etc ... they have taken some absolute spares while not offering top tier in-state talent at RB.
  9. Markus Allen decommits from Michigan :: https://247sports.com/player/markus-allen-46096504/
  10. aggy has 30 DB offers out for 2021 -- the only uncommitted players are McKinstry (no chance). Terrion Arnold. (seems like living with Jimbo wasn't enough) Tysheem Johnson (nope). Jardin Gilbert (naww). Jaden Mosley. there it is :: https://247sports.com/player/jaden-mosley-46083396/
  11. He went from unranked as an Ole Miss commit (on 247) to a 91 overall top 200 guy with the April rerankings.
  12. Holy fuck. aggy already has 15 RB offers out for 2022 with only Blue and Jones (Burges) in state.
  13. MJ Daniels 6'3" WR/CB - sets his decision date. ::
  14. No shit. 2022 RB in Texas is fucking loaded, it's not just Jones and Blue. Jadarian? Broadway? Jayshon Powers? That Legacy team has Miller AND Donnell. FFS, what about DeAnthony Gatson? That guy is way undervalued, imo. that's just scratching the surface.
  15. Rogers is a RS JR and has been around a while. 16 Games - 3 TKLs. Hunter played a bit last year in 4 games so that he could keep his RS but he didn't log a tackle.
  16. I was a big Ugwoegbu fan as a recruit. Huge athletic upside and a hard worker. I don't know how much harder the reads for ILB vs. OLB are in SpeedD (thinking of his learning curve). I assume that the LB spots are used more as attackers/disrupters than the standard read-react that you often see at ILB. Barnes is just a football player. I don't think you'd want to continue the path of not recruiting clear ILBs prospects but at least these 2 guys are good football players. Having Kobie McKenzie is a good start, he's going to be very good. I expect Mukes to be an outstanding OLB in a couple of years. I guess I'm not sure what the profile for Grinch's ILB is, based on the guys he's targeted as recruits vs. who has played it from the current roster, but I assume that Stutsman will carry 225 -230 and play inside unless the Sooners get Wallace. Wallace looks like he could carry 235-240 pretty easily, big lean frame. I haven't seen a single source that has a good feel for it. It's really almost meme-worthy at this point.
  17. I think they want to keep Leal at DE for the most part (moving him inside on passing downs, etc). I think it would be Brown and Peevy starting and Hunter and Rogers as the backups.
  18. 24 games played. 1.5 sacks. Has always looked the part. Has always been terrible. Perhaps he turns it on in a contract year?
  19. aggy and the recruiting services are both circling around the problem but missing the actual issue. Texas players aren't soft. The style of football is not so ubiquitous that it creates a vacuum of defensive talent that can only be solved by kids from Jersey. The issue is that you have to be much more aware of upside and doing more complete evaluations. The Texas kids (and when I say this, you can add most of the Cali and suburban Georgia kids as well) have played A TON more football than those kids from the NE corridor. Tens-of-thousands more reps against other players that have played 1,000s more reps. Texas HS QBs are ready to play so much earlier than other QBs because they've seen more complex defenses and run more complex offenses than their counterparts. Coaches don't have to spend valuable practice time teaching common route trees in Texas. The kids have run them all and can also read combo coverages when they come in to high school as 9th graders. The Texas coaches don't have to spend near as much time teaching hand-fighting on the LOS - because the kids do it with their trainers. On and on. It does create a plethora of guys in each class that are physically maxed out, or close to it, but are really good at football. Guys that have really good film and have played a crapton of football. These are guys that can be over-rated but can also help your team and provide quality depth. They ARE better football players because they have put their Gladwell 10k hours in. The downside is that if they end up long-term multi-year starters you will lack athleticism. (see Brian Williams, the Green bros, Stripling) the 9.95ers aren't adjusting to these guys and are super reluctant to drop guys that were rated high early, because of their early varsity productivity as FR/SO but who are clearly maxed out. aggy has signed numerous guys that simply don't have the athletic profile of a plus NCAA/NFL athlete. Luke Matthews isn't soft - he is athletically limited. You could see that in every setting where he played against D1 talent, on film and in camps. Max Wright had bad knees at 17, signing him and then adding a bunch of weight doesn't mean Texas players are soft. It means that they did a poor eval. RJ Orebo weighed 11 pounds at 6'9" -- he's not indicative of Texas players being soft. He's indicative of a terrible eval. Going to get Adarious Jones didn't press the magic "now we're physical" at DT button. Do you honestly want to compare him to T'Vondre Sweat and talk about physical presence? It's the fucking evals. There are Texas kids playing defense all across the country and they are fucking good. That take is lazy and stupid.
