There is clearly a new idea on the 40 acres about how recruiting should be done. I’m not sure where these new insights are going to take the program, but it will at least be entertaining to see if all these guys succeed or fail at Texas. I’m very skeptical.

This guy seems to have the highest upside of the last 4 commits we’ve gotten. Gerry seemS real high on him. Just may take a couple years to grow into his body frame and produce. As an aside, Carlsbad, CA is a beautiful little town on the Pacific.

Taking late projects to round out the class is new? The big change is that across the board blue chips need more guys who don't need NIL money to round out the class, because smaller schools can and will offer big packages to the mid four stars to be the stars of their classes.

He is an athletic freak if I remember right.  When he committed to Cal the mods were all “uhhhh NFL body like now”.  I think he is pretty raw but I am going off memory from 6 months ago.  High upside player but might take a year or two to find his sea legs

The law of averages suggests we all be skeptical of any player who's not rated at the very top for his position. Even with them we know how often something goes way wrong. Just hope a couple of every half-dozen "fillers" in  a class eventually contribute.

If a guy has the size and tools, is affordable and of course is also seen as a culture fit, I don't know why we wouldn't roll the dice on him. Especially in the age of NIL. Nobody's signing 28 obvious draft picks.
