2020 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Sirhornsalot]

You can tell Herman is bird-dogging for speed.

Achane not only ran the 200 in 20.44 this season, he's a member of the FB Marshall 4 x 100 relay, which currently holds the fastest time in the nation (40.14).

Kitan Crawford, who I think will commit to us in May, runs for John Tyler's 4 x 100 relay team, who used to hold the fastest time in the nation at 40.66 (according to Brainiacs).

Mookie Achane movers.  Sounds good to me.

Take Two: Will Oklahoma or Texas land Bryson Washington?

Bryson Washington
 has more than 20 offers, but the four-star safety made a huge move in his recruitment recently when he narrowed his choices to Oklahoma and Texas.

That is especially exciting for people following his recruitment because this is just another example of the Sooners and the Longhorns battling for an elite prospect. Texas seemed to hold an edge for the Houston (Texas) C.E. King standout, but a recent official visit to Oklahoma could have completely changed everything.

Washington had a phenomenal trip to Norman. He loves the coaching staff and the players there and he could make a huge impact in defensive coordinator Alex Grinch’s new defense. But the four-star has taken numerous visits to Texas, and he’s taking his official there in early June before he makes his decision around July 4.

Texas will have the final shot to convince Washington that it’s the right place for him. It seemed like the Longhorns were the clear frontrunner. But Oklahoma did a whole lot to close the gap and possibly even take the slightest lead heading through the spring.

Will it be Texas or Oklahoma for the four-star safety?




FIRST TAKE: JASON SUCHOMEL, ORANGEBLOODS.COM


“For the longest time, I felt Texas had a commanding lead there. He’s been on campus so many times, he’s already had positive things to say about the program and he has such a great relationship with the entire Texas staff. But it does certainly seem like that pendulum has swung in Oklahoma’s direction after his recent official visit.

“Does that mean Oklahoma is leading? I’m not sure. My gut tells me it’s pretty close to a neck-and-neck race, but Texas will get the last visit in late June before he announces. Anytime you get the last crack at a player, that can usually carry some weight. I still slightly favor Texas for that reason, but it really is a tough one to call right now.”

 





SECOND TAKE: MIKE FARRELL, RIVALS.COM  


“This is going to come down a lot to the last visits with Tom Herman and Lincoln Riley. That’s what makes the recruiting battle so exciting between those two schools because it’s a question of who gets them on campus last. They’re both so good at closing and they’re both so good at in-person recruiting that getting the last visit suddenly becomes a big deal. 

"We will see this play out more and more as we head into official visits and more and more as we head into 2021 and 2022. Because Texas has the last visit and he’s been leaning toward that school. I think it’s going to get him, but it’s really hard to predict with these two coaches because they both do such a good job

Hmmm, because she finally woke up and said, "Hey, I'm Kate Beckinsale, why am I dating Pete Davidson?"

Not much different than Christy Brinkley finally realizing who she was and married to Billy Joel.

Per Mike Roach, Texas will host Florida graduate transfer LB Kylan Johnson this weekend. Johnson is formerly of Dallas Skyline and could potentially provide Texas with some valuable depth at a thin position.

This is a huge development.  He may not be a difference-maker as a player, but having a guy who has played a lot of P5 snaps would be a major boost to our LB room.

Was initially a Safety so he should have some good speed.  I think it's a no-brainer.  Staff got him to visit quickly so they must like something with this kid.  We've acted fast on every grad transfer we've gone after.

 Anyone know if we have interest in the running back from Clemson who has entered the portal? Can’t think of his name.

I haven't heard that we have. I saw his name drop.

IDK, we have Ingram, Whittington and Johnson as a pretty good 1-2-3. If Johnson can stay healthy, finally, he's a home run threat. If you're Taveon Feaster, do you want to come and be one of four?

Tavian Feaster. Texas could kick tires there. Personally wouldn’t be opposed to that move from a depth standpoint. 

 

[primal defense]

Heck yeah take him if he wants to come. He was listed as the top all purpose back in the country the year he came out. We need depth.

I understand early playing time, but do you really want your name associated with that abomination of a D OU has?

 

[primal defense]

I haven't heard that we have. I saw his name drop.

I disagree we can use another running back for depth alone. Ingram will be the starter however, the backup spot is open with a true freshman, a senior with injury issues and another RB who averaged 3.6 avg competing for the job.   It looks like Whittington will be a star, however if t Feaster is better that can only help us.

Seeing Kirk Johnson getting his wrist hurt in the spring game did not get me confidence that he can stay healthy or count on him.

And how long will it be before Daniel Young enters the portal?

You make a good point. Whittington spent half of last season injured, too.

I remain hopeful we see a healthy Kirk Johnson this season. I think he's a stud, if he ever gets on track.

 

[Bear19]

 We should go all out for Feaster. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I understand early playing time, but do you really want your name associated with that abomination of a D OU has?

Word I'm hearing is there is some panic in Goonerland. Apparently, the offense is the source of concern, as in, what the hell is this? Not what they're accustomed to up there.

An OU friend who told me that also said he thinks two years before OU's D is where it should be.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Looking good for us to land the LB transfer out of Miami.
