This is among, if not THE best 45 someodd minutes of sport talk tv I’ve ever encountered. Thanks for sharing. 

Agree. It was not coach speak, it was subject matter expert discussing their work. Also, the first time I have seen someone wax poetic about highway onramps of LA.

Ojo looked awful today. Got beat every way possible 

We could use an OT more like Mikey Grandy

Every time I see a “FONG BOMB” post, I imagine Steve standing up from his porcelain throne, looking down at what he has done and smirking about another Fong Bomb he has left behind

You know that in real life the pigtailed girl in the background married the fat kid set manager?

if you think we can't run on georgia without a ricky or an earl you are saying the same thing that I am.  the OL was the problem in those games.  so, thank you.

There is no substitute for a great….repeat…great offensive line.

Ojo is all ceiling.  He needs to become a great football player while he's here.  He has one of the best LT frames I've ever seen, on any player on any level of football.  If he ever hits his potential, he could be the first overall pick.  If he doesn't he could still be really good. He has a low floor too.  It's up to Ojo where he ends up.  He has endless potential but has a lot of work to do.

If ya'll want some cool aid, Wiltfong says he still likes his Texas picks for Ojo and Turntine, says Texas is surging for James Johnson and can see him and Guervil both at Texas, and that Texas is a big threat for Tyler Atkinson.

Some Wednesday AM Recruiting Thoughts

1. Texas has continued to battle for 4-star++ running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High), as we have said. Everything we have heard for weeks is a Bama vs. Texas decision likely with Georgia and Auburn the other OV's. And that has also been Bama having the most confidence since early May. The Longhorns are considered the competition for the Crimson Tide due in part to Ezavier and mom both truly liking the Texas program and everything it can provide. 

2. Confidence remains in Austin on OTF 5-star OT John Turntine III. With that said, OTF doesn't believe he has informed the winning school of his decision ahead of the July 4 announcement. OTF doesn't believe the winner will be Texas A&M - barring a reverse course from Tuesday. We do believe Texas and Michigan are very much in it. And Stanford hasn't thrown in the towel.

3. There has been some saying Texas would shut down defensive line recruiting with four commitments. That is not the case. The Longhorns would absolutely go to five in the class. Texas has continued to receive positive feedback from 4-star++ DL's Damari Simeon, Kendall Guervil and James Johnson early this week. How the dominoes fall will be key here. Simeon's commitment date is June 27, Guervil July 2 and Johnson expected in early July. 

4. OTF believes Texas is very much in the mix for 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). We continue to believe that it's not a likely scenario 5-star's out of the Peach State Xavier Griffin (Gainesville, Ga./High) and Atkinson end up at the same school. Griffin is scheduled to be the first off the board June 29. Griffin is Texas vs. Alabama with Ohio State and FSU the other OV's. 

5. OTF 4-star++ OT Malakai Lee remains a slight mystery as of Tuesday afternoon. He had not informed with winner and losers in the race based on what a source told us. Texas vs Michigan with Georgia in it, and Alabama battling after falling behind is the race. OTF does know that Lee can envision himself playing for the Longhorns. We also expect the family to move to the state where Lee plays in college. Lee has multiple family members that live in Dallas currently. 

6. Texas wants 5-star EDGE Trenton Henderson (Pensacola, Fla./Catholic) as badly as any prospect on the board. The Longhorns also know they are working from a position of making up ground on Florida headed into a July 2 decision. LSU is battling. 

7. Haven't heard anything to back OTF off of believing the Longhorns are in the best spot for 4-star+ LB Kosi Okpala (Houston/Mayde Creek) ahead of a July 2 or 3rd decision. OTF believes Texas would take both Okpala and Calvin Thomas, as of Monday.
