Does anyone have any insight into Osborne’s level of competition? In his highlights he looks like a Brain Orakpo clone with how he uses his hands to get off blocks, his lateral quickness and how well he holds up against the run.

It’s at least as good as Finkley’s.

So it seems like Gullette is now the only one on commitment watch?

Pettaway is supposed to make a commitment this week if you buy that we’ve got a shot there. Sounds like Shelby is fairly close as well. 
 

I don’t love that A&M is going to get the last shot at both Hill and Muhammad right before they are looking to make a commitment.

But it will be that sweet when they turn around and commit to Texas right after...the greater the meltdown etc etc

Not worried about Muhammad. Dude has two cousins already enrolled and Billy Walton is committed. I think Hill is too far gone for A&M.

Anyone have the yes No maybe from Gerry this morning? Sounds like a lot of sunshine.


 

Spoiler

The Texas Longhorns begin the first full week of July with the No. 3 ranked class in the On3 Consensus team ranking. 

On3 Consensus 4-star defensive lineman Sydir Mitchell became the 18th commitment for Steve Sarkisian and staff Sunday. The 6-foot-4.5, 345-pound still 16 year old lineman picked Texas over Georgia, Texas A&M and Miami. 

The national win for the Longhorns adds even more momentum to a class that has a path to a first No. 1 ranked class since 2010 in Austin. 

To begin your July 4th celebration, Inside Texas plays the recruiting game of Yes, maybe or no. 

Yes

No. 14 LB Anthony Hill, Denton (Texas) Ryan 

The On3 Consensus five-star is down to Texas or Texas A&M. The Longhorns have been ascending in this recruitment the last two weeks. Hill is scheduled to make a visit to Texas A&M to end July.

No. 43 RB Cedric Baxter Jr., Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater 

The No. 1 ranked running back in the On300 will announce his decision August 10. Texas leads the On3 RPM by a considerable margin. 

No. 50 CB Malik Muhammad, Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff

The silky smooth cornerback has a final three of Texas, Texas A&M and Alabama. Like Hill, Texas has been trending in recent weeks. 

No. 108 DL Hunter Osborne, Trussville (Ala.) Hewitt-Trussville

The former high school teammate of Justice Finkley will decide out of Texas, Tennessee and Clemson barring a late push from Alabama. The Longhorns have been making headway in this recruitment the last few days per a long time source in the Southeast. 

No. 121 EDGE/LB Derion Gullette, Teague (Texas) High 

Texas remains the team to beat for the 6-foot-3, 228-pound high-end athlete. Texas A&M and Oklahoma is the competition with Ohio State and Alabama on the peripheral. A decision could come the first half of the month. 

No. 131 CB Jordan Matthews, Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn

Official visits remain to Texas and Alabama if this recruitment carries over to the fall. The fast rising senior is scheduled to be on campus the last weekend of July. 

No. 151 WR Mikal Harrison-Pilot, Temple (Texas) High 

Texas made a huge impression on the official visit June 17-19. Harrison-Pilot’s fall or even December timeline makes for an interesting recruitment to follow. 

No. 279 DL Terrance Green, Cypress (Texas) Cy Woods 

Texas is battling Oregon and Michigan State, and others for the 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive tackle. Green will be on campus the last weekend in July. 

Maybe

No. 7 DL David Hicks, Katy (Texas) Paetow 

The On3 Consensus five-star is scheduled to visit Oklahoma July 28th weekend. The Longhorns have made headway in thie recruitment since June 23. 

No. 17 TE Duce Robinson, Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle 

The On3 Consensus five-star is making an official visit to Texas September 10. USC is considered the leader over Texas, Alabama and Georgia. 

No. 28 S/N Javien Toviano, Arlington (Texas) Martin 

Another prospect Texas has made headway on since June 23. The versatile defensive back is considering Michigan, Georgia, Alabama and others, but this one is expected to come down to Texas vs. Texas A&M. 

No. 62 WR Jaquaize Pettaway, Houston (Texas) Langham Creek 

The On3 Consensus 4-star is announcing between Oklahoma and Texas this week. Sooners wide receiver coach Cale Gundy and the smaller environment in Norman has placed Oklahoma in a good spot in recent weeks. 

No. 71 EDGE Tausili Akana, Kahuku (Hawaii) Skyridge

Texas is certainly in the mix. The timeline is the question. Oklahoma is a trendy pick, and the 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is scheduled to be on campus in Norman the last weekend of July. Will he make another stop? We shall see. 

No. 76 WR Jalen Hale, Longview (Texas) High 

Texas can win this recruitment if the red carpet is rolled out. How the wide receiver position shakes out will be a storyline down the stretch. 

No. 126 WR Jaden Greathouse, Austin (Texas) Westlake 

Notre Dame or Texas for the physical playmaker. Has been considered a lean to the Fighting Irish for a few weeks, but he has made several short trips to spend time on campus of late. 

No. 183 EDGE Colton Vasek, Austin (Texas) Westlake 

This one is considered a Texas vs. Oregon battle. The Longhorns have momentum, and a conference on their side. 

No. 186 EDGE Braylan Shelby, Friendswood (Texas) High 

A true battle between Texas and USC. The Longhorns have plenty of momentum, relationships and close to home helping. Shelby really does like Los Angeles, and the USC staff. Texas A&M could get into that mix should Shelby hold off on making a mid-July announcement. 

No

No. 13 S Caleb Downs, Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek

Should the On3 Consensus 5-star make a visit July 28th weekend, this one could possibly be revisited. 

No. 88 DL/IOL Markis Deal, Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest

Deal will be on campus July 28th weekend. This recruitment could come down to timing. Deal plans to make a pair of fall official visits, to Georgia and Texas. 

No. 179 OT Miles McVay, East St. Louis (Ill.) High 

Like Downs, if the large human visits July 28th weekend this recruitment could get serious.

No. 265 DL Jamarious Brown, Moss Point (Miss.) High 

Same as Down and McVay. Texas is working ahrd to ensure the July 28 visit happens. Alabama and Ole Miss are very strong competition.

Do you think King even starts the first game this season? I doubt it. Why else was Max Johnson brought in? Connor Weigman is waiting in the wings and is leaps and bounds better than King.

Betting $1000 on a guy like Haynes King to start the first game of the season sounds like something @closetohumping would do.

Who else is kin to Muhammad?

I think Hill is coming to the realization that A&M may not be the hot place to be.  When all your friends are jumping on the Texas bandwagon it may cause you to rethink some things.

You are a weird dude. 

Give the guy a break. He's going through some shit.

Some rich Morman businessman with multiple wives (who seems to be in some sort of drug-dealing cahoots with the police) has just offered him $50k to put the Morman out of his misery, allegedly for insurance money for his terminal bone cancer. But, the guy actually plans to murder @Fletch, burn his body, and abscond to Rio. Meanwhile, his wife is hounding him for back spousal support, and his spot on the Lakers seems tenuous. 

So maybe just lay off him a little bit.

If we sign all of the recruits Gerry has as a yes, our projected team score would be 302.83.

Are some of y’all confusing Hill with Hicks? Hill is not too far gone. Nobody is reporting anything like that, hell, Gerry just put him in the “yes column” about landing him.

Hicks is the one still considered a long shot.

I think he's saying "Hill is too far gone (to the Lonhorns) for A&M ( to have any shot at signing him). "

If I am aggy, I am doing everything I can to keep Hill and Muhammed from committing before the end of July. Not saying it will work, but they are probably shitty themselves daily trying to get those 2 kids to hold off.

Conversely we should be doing everything we can to get them committed and to not attend their bbq

Shitty barbecue at an apartment pool and bags of cash are what aggy is depending on.

Seeing on other sites that Gerry said a DL "east of Texas" is now showing interest in Texas after the Mitchell commitment.  

Osborne? Or someone completely new since after Sydir committed?
