It seems that the Hookfin OV went south when Texas tried to sell him on redshirting, which is amazing since the guy looks like he's about 25 pounds away from playing at Texas right now
And also amazing since the vast majority of all linemen redshirt.

EJ update
— There was some Baylor buzz for four-star offensive lineman Isaiah Hookfin this weekend, and there is definitely something to it. The Bears have been quietly surging for Hookfin and are making things very interesting for Texas. The Longhorns did have a very good official visit weekend, but it wasn’t enough to lock up Hookfin. With all this said, we’re told that there isn’t a ton of confidence on the Baylor side and that Texas felt better about the situation tonight. I’m sticking with my Texas Crystal Ball right now, but this is one we are going to be following closely the next couple of days.
— Texas did a great job with elite defensive back Jalen Catalon this weekend. He has a strong personal relationship with safeties coach Craig Naivar and a bond with players on the team like Josh Thompson and Caden Sterns — they all use the same defensive back trainer. Both Thompson and Sterns made Catalon feel like family this weekend, and I actually have reason to believe Texas is top of mind for Catalon. But there is still work to do with his parents. I’m told their preferences are still Arkansas and TCU. While Texas made an impression this weekend, they must win them over before February.
— By the way, Catalon is making an official visit to TCU in January, and I’m hearing that the Horned Frogs are gaining a lot of steam. As mentioned, his parents really like TCU and feel comfortable with the staff. On top of that, TCU is only about a half hour drive for them, and I’m told they would love to have their son nearby. While Arkansas is the heavy favorite, I wouldn’t be shocked if TCU garners his commitment in the end. Keep in mind that TCU will be Catalon’s last official visit. As for Texas, the Longhorns have done enough with Catalon. It’s all about the parents. I can’t state that enough.
— I felt somewhat optimistic about UT's chances with TCU offensive line commit Andrew Coker this morning. But after gathering more intel following the official visit, all signs point to him sticking with the Frogs. Coker told our Mike Roach that he was still signing with TCU on Wednesday and after checking in with sources, I feel like he is being genuine. It would be surprising if Coker has a change of heart before signing day.
That is some epic paysite hedging bullshit going on there. He left himself an out for whomever Catalon signs with.
Shame on anyone that pays for that horseshit.

I don't want to lose Powell if I know he winds up at safety. It all depends on how strong his desire is to play QB - is he willing to make the move to safety if he can't crack the depth chart or does he transfer because he wants to keep chasing the dream.
Texas and Powell are not happening. From all accounts, Texas told him he is not welcome in this class anymore.

By the way, anyone looking for comic relief from this shitshow of a thread should give LotusHorn's Trey Sanders "updates" a look: https://247sports.com/college/texas/Board/21/Contents/Sanders-Update-1216-126438245/
If I ran a business and allowed that pathological liar to post on the boards I would be ashamed of myself.
But then again, the only thing that kept Stalin up at night was wondering why everyone did not love him. Apparently the blood that runs through my veins ain’t the same kind Burton has.

You see, by saying we are in it for Higgins the pay sites can trick you into reading their updates. And when he chooses Stanford they can claim about how it was a close call and it just did not go our way late.

Mystery visitor an OL??
I thought we already established there is no second mystery recruit.

What a bunch of whiny fucktards we have on this board.
Who exactly is whining? I see people discussing what the recent developments mean and what are the next moves for Texas,
NM: I see who you are talking about.

If this Baylor noise with Hookfin is true and we just passed on him, and possibly didn't push hard for Coker (not sure about either one), it seems likely that the staff has backup options that we don't know about
It would have to be. Although it does sound like we made a legit effort to flip Coker. But yes I agree the staff probably has other plans if we cooled on Hookfin.
-
If that does turn out to be the case, that means we just have two OL in the fold and one of them I will generously say isn’t exactly an A+ mental evaluation.
If Hookfin goes to Baylor we would have to evaluate, offer and sign two linemen between now and February. We did it last year on the defensive line but we had guys identified at least we were targeting.

Well, it's either our guys changed their opinion on him after studying him this weekend, or we just got pantsed in the recruitment mid-official visit. Which one does Occam's Razor shave?
Neither one seens like the likely and obvious explanation. Occam won’t apply here if he does not sign with Texas.

Do you think big boards are static and don't change after the initial opinions?
I don’t think they need to be static but it does seem odd to late offer a guy you have been evaluating for some time only to slow play him.4 days before he signs.
-
I don’t understand how it can be a Hookfin or Coker discussion. We should take both.

The point in his post is that there is no other secret visitor. Carrington and the recruits were trolling and $9.95ers bit hard. It was complete bullshit.
I bet you find joy in telling children there is no Santa Claus too.

See this is where hermans "score 1 more point" attitude is dumb. We could/should have blown out at least San Diego and Kansas and played some of these guys in the 4th quarter, while preserving their RS.
This is a really, really bad post.

I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but I just read the last 4-6 pages on here and it is fucking hilarious. The LotusHorn trolling and commentary; some rando showing up to school everyone on Glass, Saban and visits; the Glass news and non-news without even a vague consideration for the premise that there is no fucking need for secrecy regarding a visit from Glass; SydneyCarton inevitably remembering the wrong guy and 10 people rushing to correct him; and all of the secret visitor handwringing. Thanks guys.
Also, the recruiting services are almost certain to fuck the handling of this visit up now that they know.
I think this has actually been one of the more fun days on this board. In your opinion is this visitor even worth all of the handwringing?

OK State WR offers actually mean more to me. That's part of why I was a Demariyon Houston fan.
Outside, possession receivers specifically. But they are pretty damn good at finding quality running backs too.

Alabama did offer, but it's obviously a Saban offer so that doesn't mean as much as it usually does.
Anyway, he's not the secret visitor.
Oklahoma State is recruiting him. Like linebackers and defensive linemen at TCU or offensive linemen at Oklahoma, that means more to me than some ceremonial, non commitable Alabama offer.

If Glass is good enough for Saban to visit, why is he not good enough to play here?
He is definitely good enough for Texas. If he went to any other high school in the state people would be very excited.
