2018 Recruiting Board/Thread

This wouldn't seem to indicate good news for Reese Leitao's chances of making it to Austin.

Between Leitao more than likely not making and Herman more than likely telling a handful of current players that they wont ever play here that will probably transfer out the 2018 class will easily fit in 20 or so by the time fall camp 2018 rolls around.

Tom knows how to play the game so I'm not sure 25, or close to it, isn't out of the question.

Trey Stratford trending to Nebraska. 247 basically saying he doesn't have a committable offer so they must feel good about other prospects.

Time to move on

Daniel said "wouldn't seem to indicate good news" which is a long way of saying "this is ain't good."

You're correct. I was reading on my phone and obviously I am going blind... B)

Anybody got any news on Keontay Ingram?  I hate to miss on this guy.  I think he could be underrated.  Makes a lot of his yards between the tackles.  Nobody seems to ever get a clean shot on him and he can make people miss in a phone booth.  Reminds me a little of Emmitt. Unsubstantiated rumor is we have backed off on his recruitment.   I trust Herman/Drayton in their ability to project him to college game, but I really like his film.  Of course nobody has ever offered me money to evaluate talent!

We have gotten a string of CB picks lately for Foster, Woodard, and Green and a few on Coburn and Clement.

He's top back in the state for myself and many others. Texas hasn't back off recruiting him, but word thru the grapevine is that he is keeping a keen eye on the offers going out OOS backs.

Something else to keep in mind is that Urban Meyer is personally recruiting this kid. He's in high demand.

Surely he has to understand that Texas has to have contingency plans. Texas could have had the Cal RB if they wanted him over the weekend. I think that says, or should say, a lot to Mr. Keontay.

ET kids don't normally like to stray far from home and they even more often dislike northern climate. I could be wrong but Coach Meyer is climbing a wall thats too tall for even him.

Thanks Daniel.  Im glad to know we are still after him but had no idea he was being recruited so heavily. He seems to have that vision and feel for finding creases that you can't teach.  Not impressed at all with Alabama kid Joiner.  California kid I like better but still prefer Ingram.  Hope Sirhorsalot is right about Meyer over reaching but hate to go head to head with Ohio State.   I think his opportunity for success is much greater at Texas than up north.

Buddy of mine who hails from Birmingham and is familiar with Joiner shared the same opinion. Thinks he is overrated and not a natural runner.

Ohio State is going to be a thorn after the swooped in got guys like Browning, Dobbins (who is likely to contribute this fall), and Okudah. Have to the lock down the borders and keep elite players home.

I hope you're right SHA, but I can't ever count out Urban after this past cycle.

Contingency plans are fine, but the staff and the kid have to be on the same page and I don't think they are right now. Nothing that can't be fixed with a phone call though.

Still stings seeing all that Texas talent leave the state. Especially when we had a shot at a few of them. Maybe Herman can put a stop to this nonsense.

Not going to lie. Browning and Dobbins leaving the state is going to sting for awhile. Two great kids who are no doubt going to be studs in my mind.

Another site something about being his 3rd school in 3 years. Hope we don't have another Devo situation where this affects him being able to get admitted to Texas.

Was thinking the same thing. Hopefully there aren't any issues down the road.
