2025 Recruiting Board/Thread

[dssl]

Sharma is an interesting case. Initial heavy lean to Texas, late decision to Oregon, now back to TX. Most believe TX was outbid

Sark has said he wants kids who want to be at Texas, and NIL shouldn't be the driving reason.

Some of these NIL deals can be a life changing amounts of money, so it's naive to think it's not an important part of the decision. Sure there aspirations are the NFL, but there are no guarantees.

My assumption is Oregon offered him a deal that paid enough more, and he was comfortable with the program, coaches and development... so even though is preference was Texas he initially picked Oregon.

To really be the Jones's, we need to win more then our share of these high end athletes, to do that we need to pay based on what the market dictates. I can't blame these guys one bit for working the system. If I had a kid I would advise him to do exactly that.

We have to trust Sark , to spend whatever money is available wisely, and if that money is as much, or more then the competition, then I like our chances.

Josiah Sharma has flipped.

Anyone have a template of what our DT recruiting board looks like now? I believe the coaches wanted 4 in this class?

No disrespect to your post, but I always despise DeLoss Dodds' quote: "We are the Joneses." It is arrogant and bragging about unfulfilled potential.

These are the DT's Texas is still pursuing per Gerry
DJ Sanders - uncommitted
Myron Charles - Fla St
Brandon Brown - LSU
JJ Hanne - uncommitted

Yes, they want four. But likely it will be two or three.

There's still Myron Charles, DJ Sanders, Antonio Coleman out there who could possibly be a part of the class, but I wouldn't bank on all three. JJ Hanne is visiting today. Everybody and their dog is reaching out to him though.

Forget about Zion Williams, Kevin Wynn, and Brandon Brown. They ain't coming.

Here's a comparison of how Sark looks at recruiting versus Elko. Texas is on the left aggy on the right
Pos offers
QB 3 29
RB 12 19
WR 19 57
TE 10 26
OT 17 42
IOL 13 26
Edge 13 30
DL 29 42
LB 21 31
CB 18 44
S 13 19
Ath 16 31

That is wild. aggy still has trouble appealing to HS kids that they must cast a much larger net. lol I just didn't know it was that drastic.

One more out of the three I posted would be great. I'm sure Texas will hit the portal for DL after the season.

They did get a 5* QB to commit. That's worrisome.

We're still two months away from aggy decommit season. So thats not written in stone yet. lol

 

[Sirhornsalot]

They did get a 5* QB to commit. That's worrisome.

But they offered 29 QBs lol. That seems rather desperate.

Per Wiltfong tonight, Jonah Williams has cancelled all visits (including LSU) this past Friday. He says Texas is in top 2, and he was cryptic about recruiting about to get hot for Texas.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

He just visited Texas. A day later, this. smh

Hard to know, but maybe he was down to Auburn and Texas for his flip, and after visiting Texas decided against it. Could be any combination of playing time, NIL, comfort with Austin or the staff or maybe he wanted to stay closer to home.

Jonah will be nice for the class rankings boost but I doubt he steps foot on a college campus with how highly ranked of a baseball recruit he is.

So that's Bama->Auburn->Bama->Auburn for him so far

Would be nice to get Ffrench, Locket, Fasusi, and Williams before the start of the season.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

From everything I hear, it is unlikely that we get Fasusi. I've heard OU has made quite an impression on him. Thats the word around town anyway. I live in Lewisville.

We stand in a great spot for the OL from Iowa. Better player now but not as much upside as Fasusi.

Hamilton thinks DT JJ Hanne will commit to Georgia, possibly today.
