2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Sirhornsalot]

Legit question, 

i wasn’t on here thru J Heards recruiting. Was the talk with him the same??? Because I believe he was #1 dual threat that year. Just curious how the hype compares. He obviously didn’t work out at that position but was def a different offensive game plan then. 

Good question. I would say "sorta."

Heard made his living at Denton Guyer on the broken play. Pass play called, protection breaks down or receivers are covered – off went Heard. In that sense, he could take over a game. You'll notice that his brief success at the helm at UT was when he improvised. Big 12 defenses caught on, stopped it, and stopped Heard.

Heard was never a real QB. He didn't study film. He didn't read coverage. He was just a superb athlete playing QB in a RB type role. From time to time, he would connect on short or intermediate throws. Heard got his notoriety mostly from leading his team to state titles. He had the benefit of being hyped by DFW media.

Johnson can wing it like Heard did, but is a more complete QB who is a QB first, athlete second. He can throw all the passes, shows some touch when needed. He is equally dangerous with his feet and has a scat-back feel to his game, making people miss, breaking knees and dropping jaws. IMO, he's a perfect fit for Tom Herman's offense.

I didn't include RB because I was assuming it's not a huge need of the aggies, not because it's  not a need for us. As they signed 4 this year, I was assuming it's not a huge need. Where we're going to compete is OLine, DLine, and LB and those are the ones we need to win 75% of the time. Need another TE as well. Loading up on WR just doesn't seem to be a huge problem for either team.

I don't think he's as fast but watching Garrett Wilson's film.. he sorta reminds me of Antwan Goodley from Baylor a good few years back. Same sort of build and playmaking ability.. I think Goodley was more of a burner though. How y'all like that comparison?

since I never heard of either guy you mentioned I cant tell you if it is a good comparison or not.

Wish he'd commit soon to give us some momentum.  Still think it's just a matter of "when", not "if".

I don’t follow Baylor much but Garrett Wilson is a must get... believe Ohio st will be the team to beat in this one since that’s where he is originally from- or family ties there. Something like that. His tape is bad to the bone.

I sure thought he was going to pull the trigger a few months back. I agree it’s bound to happen.

Bragg and Johnson would be a solid start to OL recruiting.  Johnson is borderline 5* composite and Bragg will be ranked a lot higher when it's all said and done IMO.

So is he a C like he is listed? Because those highlights he never played there lol I like how he doesn’t give up on the play. Pounds his guy in the dirt

He's built for C and has played C but his coach utilized him at tackle last season. Scouts say his future is at center.

I like the way he just pushes and at times, throws people out of the play. He's got a mean streak to him.

What I like best – did you notice how he would sometimes do a mini-celebration with his arms/hands at the end of a play where he'd pancaked someone? Thats a competitor.

My chapter umpires their high school baseball games. So I'll try to get some info on him if I go over there.

By the way, I've been told we have a silent commit in this class. Was told he will announce at Jr Day or the following Monday or some such.

Bragg is one of my favorite guys in the 2019 class. Love his makeup and the way he plays.

EJ says Cuero athlete Jordan Whittington will announce on March 3 between a top three of Texas, UCLA and aggy.
