  1. On Ryan Niblett taking a surprised visit to UH per Gerry

    Spoiler

    Spoke with a source close to the recruitment.

     

    Here are the knowns …

     

    1. Niblett is visiting hometown Houston this weekend.

     

    2. Texas hasn’t backed off Niblett. Or the Texas staff’s actions aren’t that of a staff that is backing off a player

     

    “It’s not Texas backing off because they called asking what’s happening.” the source told IT Sunday morning.

     

    The next steps will be to see how the Texas staff responds in terms of going to Eisenhower early this week. Niblett is scheduled to be in Austin with the majority of commitments December 17.

    I actually think they were showing respect to UT. The player was throwing up the horns, I take it as the opposite of disrespect.

    Hahahaha that was not a hook'em. That's their sign. Fuck that shit we're fucking kicking their ass now.

    Obviously the coaches were ecstatic with the commitment of Arch Manning but it resonated in the locker room as well. I think many were taken aback with how much coverage the commitment received.

    From the players perspective, I think Sark’s ability to add Manning to the fold increased overall trust, and they already had a lot of trust in him.

    — Fridays are the toughest conditioning day of the week and this past Friday was the team’s best effort, despite it being the most difficult workout of the summer.

    — The first phase of summer has ended and they’ll enter the second phase, basically workouts change and become more difficult starting on Monday.

    — The June freshman arrivals will begin lifting with everyone else this week.

    — The staff is continuing its approach of classroom work before having the players take what they just learned to the field for 7 on 7 work, or O-line/D-line drills.

    — 7 on 7 has been real competitive. People marveled this week as Brenen Thompson effortlessly put a defensive back in the blender, then sprinted off. “Easy speed.”

    — Though the wide receivers have put up better testing numbers, the competition is still about 50/50 on the field between them and the defensive backs.

    — There’s said to be good IQ in the back end with Anthony Cook and Jerrin Thompson. But don’t sleep on Kitan Crawford supplanting one of them.

    — Jaydon Blue is one we keep pretty close tabs on. He’s a little inconsistent with his effort level but when he’s on, he’s special. The speed shows up, even sometimes in conditioning.

    — The staff is preaching versatility to guys. There’s a lot of cross-training going, whether it’s guys working at guard or center, defensive line or defensive end (Jaray Bledsoe will play end in August), or safeties playing both field and boundary.

    — Players are literally engaged with doing something with the team and/or school from 6am-6pm M-F.

    — Sources love Cam Williams. He looks like a block of granite that moves as well as any other O-lineman.

    Not a ton on team, but we had two pretty good midweek posts already and I didn’t want to leave you hanging any longer on part 3.

    Humidor 3/3
