2023 Recruiting Board/Thread

[BWilk55]

I can't verify this, but DT Sydir Mitchell supposedly said Texas has three silent commitments, not including Kirkland.

Two defense and one offense.

Also, there will be a secret visitor or two at the BBQ next weekend.

Guesses at silents:

Defense - Gullete, Toviano, or Jordan Matthews

Offense - Either Baxter or Hale

Secret visitors sound promising. Could it be Hill stopping by before heading to college station or some similar situation?

Kirkland recruiting Toviano.

 

[Basis Points]

Great to see Flood get his guys.  These definitely are big humans.  Now he needs to develop them!

Kirkland kept a lot of us hoping, but scratching our heads.  I must admit it makes it a little more exciting.

Hookem!!!

Hearing that we've made inroads with this guy, thanks to some help from our Florida recruits.

And then there's this – Cook recruiting Shanahan

5 of 7 is promising.  I'm gonna guess that Vasek (Oregon) and Shelby (USC) are the 2 they won't get.

I hope you're right. I want all of them, but if we don't get those 2, but get Hill and Hicks, I'm a happy man!

I think we're done with the OL with Kirkland on board

Agree.

Those are the only two where I've read they were leaning elsewhere.

I think Hill is in, not a lock, but a heavy lean the burnt orange way.

Hicks, well I know people say he is a long shot, but there is something there if the reports are true that he reached out to the UT coaches after Arch committed.  No way will I doubt the ability of the UT coaches to reel him in.

Agree.

Now, I am intrigued by the Damon Wilson news. A month ago I would've said "pipe dream", but after what just happened with Kirkland, no way will I shrug off news like this.

Maybe Wilson has a long standing relationship with Coach Banks like Kirkland did with Flood. Maybe the Wilson smoke is real and the coaches have cooled a little on Shelby and/or Vasek and that's why they're leaning to USC and Oregon respectively.  Who knows, but there does seem to be something to it.  Would be the surprise pull of the year for me.

Staying with the EDGE position, I'm still watching Akana out of Utah. I think there is still some smoke to that recruitment. Also, I believe Guilete is considered an EDGE.  Get 2 or 3 / 5 (Shelby, Vasek, Akana, Guilete and Wilson) and they're stacked at EDGE.

Thats great, but the player I was speaking of and posted his profile – was an EDGE, not an OL. And he's a 5-star.

Cook doesn't know we're done at OL I guess. After being blown off by Shanahan like he did, I don't want him and we don't need him.

Probably true, although they will find room if a top OL recruit wants in.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Done t OL and QB. With Baxter and Hale done at RB and WR.Proably done at TE except long shot at Duce. So offense side is almost wraped up.

Need 2-3 DBS and about the same with LBS. Rest isjust how many the coaches want 30 - 40.

I think 30 is the target number provided the right guys jump on board. I think you summed up offense pretty well. Defense is going to be interesting. With most commits already on board, the staff can concentrate of priority targets.

Let it be known, Easttexhorn has just constructed a digital leaning tower of Pisa.

Who else has done that? huh?

 

[TFloss32]

IT saying DT Markis Deal of Garland Naaman Forest will be in Austin on Thursday.

All of the OL commitments, other than Trevor Goosby, will be in Austin this weekend according to IT.

Goosby has a family vacation.
