Noticed something a little fishy with these two reports from TFB and OB.
OB
* There's a very real sense that the Longhorns are closing in on a commitment from 5-star edge Colin Simmons. If you're wondering about when it might happen, circle the second week in July. That's not exact, but it's a ballpark time frame I was given.
* Part of the reasoning for committing in July might center on Simmons simply looking to take some pressure off of his shoulders.
* Don't be surprised if it ends up being a Texas vs. Texas A&M battle for Simmons in November/December. I was told that the motivation at A&M to keep Simmons away from Texas is significant and that the motivation will grow to higher levels if/when Simmons commits to Texas. One source told me that the sting from the Anthony Hill recruitment (and loss) still stings and that they will be hell-bent on returning the favor.
* Top three schools for likely Rivals 5-star Brandon Baker (in order): Texas, Ohio State and Nebraska. It's not the only reason for his current lean to Texas, but make no mistake about it, he's very interested in the NIL prospects at Texas.
* Something to just file away... if Georgia is one of the top one or two schools for a prospect, don't expect Texas to engage. It sounds like "It's Georgia" has taken on entirely new meaning. "UGA has an energized group of donors and idiots, alike,:" the source said. I don't know why, but that cracked me up enough that I thought I would share this specific comment.

– There has been a lot of chatter this week regarding Colin Simmons coming off of his Texas official. I don’t want you all to get upset with me, but you know I have to give my honest opinion. I can confirm that Simmons has been a Texas fan throughout his childhood. I can confirm that he got the Rockstar treatment on his official visit and it definitely left an impression. I agree with those that believe that Texas currently sits in the pole position for him. Would a commitment prior to the season starting surprise me? No, it wouldn’t. Would a commitment put me at ease regarding his recruitment? No, it wouldn’t.
A commitment prior to the season would take a little bit of pressure off of the young man so that he can try to focus on his Senior season. It would likely get his phone to stop ringing from 6-8 programs and cut that number in half. I’m fully expecting for visits to be taken to a few games this Fall and I’m expecting some “unofficial” visits and in-home visits to take place in December in the weeks leading up to his signature. Just like the Wingo situation, it is likely true that Texas currently leads, but it may not mean a whole lot until we get to December. There is still plenty of work to be done. Watch LSU and watch the Aggies. A&M still has a very bad taste in their mouth following the Anthony Hill flip from last cycle.
– Interestingly enough, I heard through the grapevine this week that Texas has a better shot at 5-Star OT Brandon Baker than we all may have realized. We have mentioned in the past that Oregon was a major threat here. Well, that should alert you all that the young man cares about NIL. Come to find out, he cares about NIL A LOT and that means that Texas is going to be a major player here until he tells them otherwise. Ohio State is the other program right now that feels good about Baker. Either way, it seems like he is going to be leaving the state of California for college. On the flip side, I’d be shocked, SHOCKED if Georgia lets Daniel Calhoun out of state borders. There’s a special principle there with trench prospects and making sure that they stay home.
There was more to each report, but those paragraphs stood out to me. Same source?- 2

What kinda sick fuck never owned a big 3 jersey?
Parents couldn’t afford it or at least wouldn’t want to spend money on something like that. Graduated college at tail end of big 3.

This show is in the S tier of shows it does it purely with dialogue no action, murder, science fiction, etc. Just great writing. As said above best show on television and it’s not close.

So we traded TCU Roberson for Jamel Johnson. Johnson tending down in rankings while Roberson had been trending up.

Jeremy Clark (TCU 247) said that Hudson submitted paperwork for the portal but TCU has talked him out of it. His name was withdrawn and he is staying at TCU.
Nahlin: You guys took Hudson for granted.

Because surely we can attract the cream of the crop to come ride the bench for 2 years behind Arch. 2024 QB was never going to flashy. This is the type of take that does a lot of good things right, but still has things they need to work on, and is comfortable riding the pine until Arch is gone.

Nice recruiting win over Stephen F Austin for Owens.

I am definitely not a long time recruiting junkie but I swear I heard Jeff Howe say it was second highest for Texas since 247 started ranking.
Nah he was including transfers in that calculation. Not sure how much that moved the needle though.

Im surprised our average is that high given all the developmental offensive lineman and tight ends we took. I guess the top of our class is just so stacked.
