From the JT side I can confirm that he doesn’t have a problem being in the same class as Ojo. He has even texted Ojo about it. 
 

I will say Ojo is really feeling himself and when he makes comments about being the number one tackle in the country he means that and expects to get treated and paid as that. His NIL ask is way higher that JT3. Texas just needs to make sure they continue to make JT3 feel like a priority cause there have been times where they acted like it was a done deal and didn’t put in the required time. 
 

As of today I expect Texas to get both. They are going to match on Ojo and the officials visit with JT3 went really really and capitalized on some built in advantages.

That's disappointing but it's June. Berrymon, Wells, Cleveland and possibly Guervil is a great class. Wait and see what happens in the fall.  There will be someone else to shake loose.

Damn, every summer we get outbid heavily. Texas seems to have no issue playing the long game under Sark. It is kind of fun to see how the dominoes fall throughout the season. Should be another interesting one when you consider Texas’s trajectory vs these desperate wallets.

It feels like he’s telling us without telling us.

Or am I just wishcasting there?

Pay the man his tree fiddy and get it done.

If we're in the top 2 and have had a kid on campus multiple times, I don't think it's a stretch that we could land him.

This is interesting because earlier in the afternoon Booby and Gerry had a 15 min stream specifically for this recruitment where they pretty much threw the towel.

We're to the inevitable point of waiting to see how the dominoes fall as we hang around the rim and prepare to recruit through the whistle.

I listened to that stream and came away with the opposite impression.

Yep. Between CJ’s “decision primer”, the stand alone video, and Gerry’s blurb above, there is a lot of energy for an announcement that most of the industry has leaning to Bama.

It’s green instead of brown, but not blue. Also the massive population of sea manatees that crowd the beaches drags it down as well. But corpus does have S tier bay fishing going for it.

What?? U don't appreciate the Texas City Dike?!? 😭

Gerry just said dont expect Simeon to pick Texas.

I hope that they don’t give up an recruit through the bell.

Perhaps that towel was their shared cum rag and things are going so well that it was time for a fresh towel.

[Think about that for a minute.]

I heard it's doable.  Lulz.

I’m currently in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, so this hits close to home, except replace the “K”s with “LL”s and change every “U” to a “Y”.

You just have to go far enough south. The brown water is the silt from the Mississippi River. It clears up around Corpus Christi. 

Uhhh I like you as a poster but this is just so laughably wrong. I’ve lived in Port Aransas and Honolulu. There’s just no way to compare the two, at all. 

Side note, I took this photo a couple of days ago on the windward side of Oahu as it was pretty clearly someone on a UH recruiting visit getting their hype photos taken.  I did not hear much in the way of Texas gulf coast comparison talk. 

Anyway, I hope Lee opts for Texas for any reason he likes.

A lot of us olds remember how Hurricane Ike changed everything there.

Had some damn good fried shrimp po-boys at places that look similar. Side of fried Flounder or Trout. any good white fish. Skip the greens, go cholesterol and proteins.  It's a 6 month thing!

Reposting on this page. Crowell today.

Although I just realized that the dates aren't in order, which makes me want to attack the OTF guys with a hammer.

Hadn’t taken the time to look that closely. Thanks….

Ezavier Crowell announcement thread 

OTF 4-star++ running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High) is set to announce his commitment at around 6pm CST today. This one is expected to be Alabama or Texas, with Auburn and Georgia rounding out the four in contention. 

Steve Sarkisian is personally in this recruitment, and Texas is giving it everything they have. If Crowell picks Alabama, it will be besting a completely all in effort by the Longhorns. 

Alabama has been considered the favorite since the spring. 

CJ provided a great rundown of the timeline yesterday:

Schools in Contention for the four-star running back include:

Georgia (May 30 OV)

Texas (June 6 OV)

Auburn (June 13 OV)

Alabama (June 20 OV)

 

Texas' Recruitment Timeline

January 31, 2024 – Texas offers Crowell, becoming the 15th school to throw its hat in the ring. Interestingly, Texas and Alabama offered on the same day. Georgia was actually the first school to offer back in November of 2023.

March 29, 2024 – The first time Crowell appeared on campus was for a spring practice on March 29, 2024. At the time, Crowell was still in the class of 2027 which made it even more alarming that then-Texas RB Coach Tashard Choice would roll out the red carpet for a midweek spring practice unofficial.

Yet, soon thereafter it was clear Texas was heavily intrigued by the Alabama prospect.

Oct. 19, 2024 – Crowell visits Texas again unofficially for the Georgia game at DKR.

Jan. 21, 2025 – Crowell Reclassifies to the class of 2026.

Jan. 25, 2025 – Texas hosts its 2025 Junior Day with Crowell making the trip to see the Longhorns for the third time since his recruitment began blowing up.

Jan. 29, 2025 – Tashard Choice and AJ Milwee stop by in Jackson, Alabama for an in-person school visit immediately after the Junior Day trip by Crowell.

Feb. 13, 2025 – Lions Hire Tashard Choice away from the Texas Longhorn staff.

Feb. 13, 2025 – Crowell announces via Twitter that he will no longer be taking an official visit to the Texas Longhorns as a result of the Choice departure.

Feb. 21, 2025 – Following a conversation with Chad Scott, Crowell announces that he will, in fact, take his official visit to The University of Texas.

Mar. 27, 2025 – The first meeting between Crowell and Chad Scott in-person since he was hired as the RB coach at Texas. Crowell unofficially visits for a multi-day trip and spring practice session.

June 6, 2025 – Crowell takes his official visit to Texas.

June 26, 2025 – Decision Date for Crowell. Deciding between Texas, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia.

Gerry is putting a lot of effort in to covering Crowell the last few days.  That gives me some hope.

Yeah, but @BurntOrange&White is giving Crowell a lot of coverage as well. Nevertheless, I’ll wait for @Helobious to chime in and then choose the other option.

After listening to Gerry this morning, i get the impression it's just going to be close but no cigar. Texas has given its all and thats all you can ask.

Let's hope for a hail mary.

Just can’t get worried about the RB position. 

Agreed but it seems like the one position that “play with Arch next year” might be a sincere pitch.

I really don’t care about the 2026 RB class anymore. Ryan Estrada was the one guy I wanted and he committed to Minnesota last week.
