My first instinct is it's not good news, but hopefully the staff asked Banks to move up his timeline.

Here is hoping the the staff did that.  Either way, we will have a clearer picture of the Oline recruiting come Sunday.  They will either have 3, 2, 1 or none of their targets.

If I agreed with you on that, that still doesn't explain why you toss Sexton to the side.

Who's the #1 RT target then?

Remember, Cam was a late offer, so him being #1 would be a stretch, at best.

I hate to speculate, but perhaps they saw something in the Sexton recruitment that they didn't like. Has OU been knocking over tables to get to him? Why were we having such an easy time with him?

That's a good question.  Maybe Agbo is #1 (I just threw a name out there).  Who knows.

Shit, I'm waiting for highly rated Tyler Johnson to step up and take one of the OT spots

I was mainly curious why you definitively said Williams wasn't the reason we turned Sexton away, which implied there's something else going that hasn't been discussed publicly.

We can agree to disagree on the pecking order at RT, but the one fact is we're in July and there's no clear target at that spot now.

IT had an update on OL Kelvin Banks of Humble Summer Creek and they're sticking with their Texas prediction.

They don't see him going as far as Oregon, and believe that intel is out of left field.

A great RB can nor run without holes to run through. WR can not catch if QB has no time to throw.

QB cannot pass flat on his his back or time to get rid of the ball( See Ewers in champion ship game.

Whatcan prevent all of thisfrom happening?

Banks has been a big Texas lean for months. 

Having a bad feeling on this one.  Guess we'll see in two days.  Be interested to see who IT's source is.  I've always thought it may be the dad or his HC that's an ex Longhorn.

So it's afternoon and still nothing?

Lots of Oregon buzz right now for sure.

Agbo is 100% LSU by 24/7. I am wondering about T. Johnson also.

[Eastexhorn]

Its July and about one half of class commited but no OL. Right i would settle for a two star. Have to start somewhere.

Was C. Williams a thre or a four star? See how he works out for the ducks.

Help me follow the logic if you're a UT staff member.

Why turn away your second RT target if your first RT isn't going to commit to you?

Now, you're back to the drawing board completely after months of work.

Does the LSU OL in the transfer pool play into this?

No problem, here's why.

1. You don't make a late offer to your primary target. Not now. Not then. Not in the future.

2. There IS something else going on. Again, Williams was not the reason we turned away Sexton.

3. I'm just fine if you want to think a late-offer 3-star was our primary target. But I won't join you in that thought.

[Sirhornsalot]

(continued)

4. Why would you tell Sexton c-ya if you're pinning everything on a 3-star from DV anyway? Would it not be just as easy to notify Sexton after the fact that he no longer has a comittable offer?

There is why Sexton-Cam were never connected.

Or is this staff truly amateur hour?

I would suggest to you that there are things that happen, situations that exist, that the 9.95ers know nothing about. It would be foolish to think they do.

Banks delayed... isn’t there another OL announcement today?  Is this still happening?

@TFloss32

Okay, I just looked at the OTs we have offered. There are 15.

– Cam Williams is the lowest rated OT recruit we offered. He's at the bottom of the list. There are no other three-star OTs that we offered. And we offered late. IMO, he doesn't move well enough to stay at OT at the next level.

– Sexton is rated higher than Williams. Sexton is a 4-star.

– 5-star Banks is an OT offer. Perhaps the staff only intended to take 1 OT this cycle.

– If not, we're still high on the list for 4-star OT Josh Conerly. We don't hear much behind the scenes because he lives in Washington.

 It's not looking good right now. Him and Anderson seem to be headed to aggy.

I am delaying my desicion. Transilation more time for better offer.

Next year Texas should be the big money man buy anyone they want. But will they. May be wrong but recruiting as we know it is going to change.

[Ntx dog]

So Hutson and Robertson not committing today after all?

The rules have changed. I would imagine this will help Oregon and the connection with Nike.
