Roseborough to A&M, Quinn to Clemson, Lott to not-us. 

Nothing super awful in there but it's a lot of targets out in a week.

Damn I missed the Quinn one.

We’ll replace Edwards either with a like for like talent or Edwards himself. Lott sucked for me because I’ve mentally had him in the class for a long time.

Where’d Lott go?

I’ve learned that I’m going to feel anxious at times in June and July every year because of recruiting. It’s just the nature of the beast. They chase 40-50 players every year and are only gong to get 20-25. That guarantees 20-25 times per year when you’re going to be bummed. Embrace the Suck.

Was it Jermichael Finley who they had to bring in Sally Brown to coach him up on how to use condoms, because he kept knocking girls up? I know that's a crazy sentence, but I swear it happened with someone of that era.

Who’s left on the DL board? We want four, right? Guervil sounding like the final piece?

Carlton is an edge, correct? How many edge players are we taking?

I forgot Guervil

I don't have enough time to follow recruiting like I used to, but I remember back in the big12, we'd sign a ton of skill talent every year.  The big concern then was that we never emphasized DL, especially when thats all aggy was buying.  Freakishly strong, twitched up kids that have the frame to hold 300lbs are rare, and you kinda knew who most of them are at 16.  In this cycle, we got 3 already.

As for the skill guys, speed can't really be taught either.  But there are tons of fast kids every year.  Not all of those 15-16yr olds are at the level of physical maturity to make them blue chippers.  We'll see some guys in Sr evals.  Some of those guys will go to small schools and develop.  Those guys can be found in the portal.

We might not have the high ranking we'd like to see, but seems like recruiting is pretty good these days.

It wouldn't be a surprise considering who his dad was in East Texas. Remember that Japorkie Lane is Finley's half-brother.

The agricultural predilection towards spreading lots of seed is strong in East Texas.

Gerry mentioned at least 4 at DT and 5 if its the right fit.

Carlton is indeed an edge. Not sure about the edge quota.

Really? I think we're right on schedule for the number 1 class.

Feels more like a top 5-3 at the moment, but it’s only June. As the season goes along (and especially if we’re kicking ass like I and many expect) and we circle back and flip a couple of these “placeholder/NIL floor” commitments elsewhere that we wanted and were close on initially, I could see getting back to #1 at the end of the cycle.

Regarding the RB board any chance Texas circles back to Javion Osborne? Notre Dame currently has 2 RB commits with him and Jonaz Walton. Another RB, Brian Bonner, is on an OV there this weekend and his only CB is for Notre Dame. I guess one of them could be listed as a RB and actually planning on playing a different position there, but if not I would be surprised to see 3 top 10 ranked RBs go to the same school.

Calicut needs to do one of those 90’s/early aughts body swap movie things with the tiny TE recruit. Any magic fountains they can piss in?

Both guys appear to be 3 star jaggers. DNW.

And he apparently told her that he couldn’t find one that fit.
