2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

Brainiacs saying Demani Richardson and his family will visit Texas after the aggy OV despite Jimbo's no-visit policy.  They are saying it'll definitely happen this time.  Buckle up folks, recruiting is about to get crazy all around.

I’ve said several times that we would comment on Richardson when he actually made it in, but the more reports like this are floated out there the more likely they won’t happen.

I'm betting we get an "aggy made a big move" article about Leal this weekend and maybe even a crystal ball pick from Perroni to aggy for Leal.

If he stays close to home then I like Texas’ chances.

Ej and Roach CB'd this kid to Texas.

Was offered awhile back, but being a University Lab kid was written off at the time. Texas apparently likes him at LB, but he wants to play WR.

With Bama, LSU, and OHIO st they must see he is under rated

Here’s a Texas tie with Tongue: He previously played at The Dunham School with 2018 Texas signee Michael Williams. Catches a bomb from Williams on his freshmen highlight tape.

I say give him a year with McKnight and we'll go from there. Lol

If they like him at LB then he’s probably a slam dunk to redshirt. Probably will need more than a year to develop and learn the position.

Here’s a great find by our old friend Mike Roach. Jawan King out of Atlanta (TX). Kid can tote the pill, has good hands out of the backfield and has good burst and long speed.

Yes but I think it was reported that he is not a Lousiana kid. rover LB imo, very good player, not sure what Coach O is thinking at all. I agree he is a LB, imo

Just confirmed this with Tongue himself. Obviously have to be mindful of LSU, but Texas has put itself in a good spot heading into the visit.

Things have taken a drastic turn in the DeMarvin Leal recruitment. His visit to College Station has blown him away. Stay tuned - a big blow could be coming for Texas.

Big blow would be an understatement here.

Wtf happened

Very strange that one visit can cause such a dramatic shift for Leal.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Erik Young is tweeting that Leal has indeed committed to A&M. Waiting for Leal to go public.

Wtf happened

I wish I had the answers to that.

I’m curious to see how A&M approached this visit. I didn’t have him pegged as one to cave to pressure tactics.

@Daniel Seahorn or @Slimer you think UT will get a handful of commits this weekend during Spring game? tired of reading about Sooners big recruiting weekend and Need one of our own.
