2020 Recruiting Board/Thread

[TheContractor]

I agree with Eastex in that six is a bit too much. We're already loaded in the secondary with Sterns the only one who might leave early.

My number would be four or five there. Two safeties, two corners and a nickel.

Attrition will 100% happen in secondary, possibly 2-3.

Agreed.  At DB and WR I expect we'll see some guys leave, there are just too many good young players competing for a few precious spots.  Some of them will be talented 4* types too.  As the talent of our incoming guys increases, the talent of our outgoing guys likely will as well.

Thats  the problem with numbers in recruiting.  Attrition. Unless one has inside infro. you can only look at seniore and open spaces. Attrition take position where the player leaves from but cannot tell to they leave.

Lindberg visiting Stanford this weekend.

One note that I've seen on another board is the Stanford S&C Coach is currently on administrative leave.  Any little thing can help.

Going to be interesting to see what he has to say coming off that visit.

Lindberg?  Is that the cheese or that big German aircraft that blew up?

Having one of the best defenses in the Big 12 has been a very low bar.

ESPN.com's Jake Trotter wrote. "But this group has the potential to emerge into one of the Big 12's best defenses by season's end."


Safety: Caden Sterns, Texas

With Delpit a can't-miss stud at one safety position, we can gamble a little on limitless potential at the other spot. That's why the selection is Texas sophomore Caden Sterns.

A season ago as a true freshman, Sterns got better as the year progressed and was a bright spot in an awful Longhorns defensive backfield that was green but full of budding talent. By the end of the season, the group made things difficult for Georgia's Jake Fromm in the Sugar Bowl, and Sterns was drawing praise.

He'll be a stalwart in '19 for defensive coordinator Todd Orlando in a unit that could wind up making one of the most drastic improvements of any group nationally. Texas will have a strong, talented and diverse secondary.

Sterns will be the leader and best playmaker. He finished his freshman campaign with 62 tackles, including three for a loss, one sack and four interceptions to go along with four pass deflections.

He'll have talent all around him in senior starter Brandon Jones, emerging sophomore B.J. Foster, incoming elite freshman Tyler Owens and blitz maven DeMarvion Overshown (who also could play some outside linebacker). 

Texas has to replace a ton of talent, but once the youth gets seasoning, experts think the team will improve.

"With so much inexperience elsewhere, the Longhorns could have some bumpy moments early on," ESPN.com's Jake Trotter wrote. "But this group has the potential to emerge into one of the Big 12's best defenses by season's end."

So, there's no reason to believe Sterns (who was the Big 12's Freshman of the Year and a first-team freshman All-American) will do anything but be a star again.

I'm not worried about the back 5. It's the front 6 that worry me.

The OL kid from Carthage was offered by Bama' and aggy today.

Are we on him? 6'7, 310 – dayum

Negative. I like him better than George, but Texas’ plan at OL is pretty clear unless something goes left with their remaining targets.

Reminder: GA Tech Grad transfer Parker Braun is visiting over the weekend.

Agree. The common opinion of George seems to have him on a tier a step below Lindberg. Of course, Zach Evans isn't a factor in the Carthage kid's recruitment. lol.

Sounds good

Parker Braun has ‘a motor out of this world’

Gotta be cautious of Florida. Ohio State is in the mix as well.

Jalen Kimber was offered earlier in the spring. He will be on campus today.
