Caleb Johnson on his OV to Texas. Feeling good about this one.

Fong with the CB to Texas for Powell.

Lewis the current TCU commit is probably about to flip to Texas as well.

I know Powell is an athlete, but what is his projected position?  Also, how many WRs are they willing to take this cycle?

Yep

Don't forget you have Junior Angilau, Reese Moore, Christian Jones, and Rafitti Ghirmai with redshirts this year.

Finally had the chance to reshirt some quailty propsects!  This is huge!

Here's my take on 4* Safety- Tyler Owens:

The Good- He's a project, the type Yancy gets in the weight room and turns into an animal. Our DB coaches and Orlando will have their work cut out for them. Very high ceiling, like NFL type ceiling bc he does make flashes that make you say "Wow." He has two big things you cant coach- Size and Speed.

The Bad- He's a project, I don't see him contributing for 2-3 years. Horrible tackler, plays way too high. Bad at making reads and making fits in run game. Reminds me of Malik, where as Owens overruns plays bc he is so fast, that may also contribute to he's bad at tackling. I'll say it again... He's horrible at tackling. And lastly he seems to give up on plays or loaf quite a bit. 

The Good again- Everything I mentioned in The bad can be coached out of him. I think he's a good take, especially with the studs we already have on the roster in front of him.

Wow. I’m shocked to hear they are taking both. Figured it was either or. Is Lewis that good to be a take? I’d much rather have Washington and McCoy. Didn’t think we had room for all of them.

Texas is actually pretty thin at WR.

They have 2 seniors in Burt and Heard

3 Juniors, including 2 that could leave early in Johnson and LJH. Duvernay is the other.

The rest are Pouncey, Moore, Eagles, and Woodard (maybe Epps if you count him as a big WR), then there's Jamison who will probably switch back to Defense next year.

Texas actually needs a big WR class

Attrition is coming, don't be surprised by any takes from here out.  

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Heard last night that Texas could push for Kennedy Lewis, but hadn’t heard the same on Powell. The numbers are going to be really interesting. Especially at WR.

Man thanks for that summary. I'd bet both CJ and LJH are gone. CJ has cleared up his deficiencies and LJH is just too interesting a player. Both were recruited by Strong. Both will go 3rd round or up IMO and probably fine with that (or maybe I'm just not very hopeful after last year's exits).

I hope McCoy and Smith are licking their chops.

1 of Johnson and LJH is likely leaving. One can be convinced to stay.

Yes, he’s a take. Good prospect. They will make room for McCoy if he wants on board.

I think Johnson may have played himself into a first round take , in which case he should go get his money. LJH could be in the same position....but likely he will need to ball out the rest of the year to get there. He might listen around and decide he needs one more year to move higher. Either way, I for one appreciate what both these guys have given us.

I agree; I appreciate both.  BUT I'ma need both to come back next year cuz I'm selfish like that  \\m//

@Daniel Seahorn, do you know how many Texas can and will take in this years class? 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

@Daniel Seahorn, do you know how many Texas can and will take in this years class? 

Not exactly sure at the moment. It’s feeling like it will be around 25 or so though. 

Final number will obviously depend on what kind of attrition transpires after the season.
