Lane Kiffin and the LSU are pushing hard to flip 5-star Texas Tech commits Anthony Sweeney and Jalen Brewster

Gerry are you concerned at all with the tape for Rhoa? T Hills was not impressed with him at all, and generally T Hills really likes the prospects.

True swing player/prospect ... likely inside player to start at P4 level

Over time, 2 yr will create more issues than positives. Meritocracy is what makes football great. A ton of kids won’t have the eq to handle “guaranteed” money. It’s easy from the couch to say this but I’d prefer the kid that believes in himself to earn next year’s nil. Really, if you’re that dude, you lower your ceiling by agreeing to the 2nd year. Ball out and your market price goes up. But, the agent gets a 2 year commission not 1 and then will double dip when they get out of the 2nd year. Messy, I think. Doesn’t help short term but Texas is strategic not trendy.

Dan Lanning probably wants Joe Z though🤣

Camara and Rhoa would be a great additions to the OL class. Do you project Rhoa to be more of a G at the next level or do you think he's capable of both?

Agreed. Replacing Pendergast / Duplantier with a much better OBP and not losing any speed / defensive capabilities. Plus, 3+ seasons potentially on the roster (good for culture).

Well we knew with Kiffin there, they would be.

LSU is starting to be a pain in the ass

This take strikes me as a 4th outfielder option.

I agree, but clowns can SOMETIMES be funny and when he "hits" on that it is actually pretty good. Its when he misses or does something stupid that the show suffers

Like Blake said, they do not have to declare. Many make the decision to go pro or not after the draft. The really good ones who are predicted to high, may indicate in advance they are going but still have to wait and see how high they go in the draft. College players and high schoolers who want to go but are not sure where they will be drafted just sit back and wait for the draft and then make a decision based on how high they are drafted and how much money they will get. Some high schoolers who will probably be drafted sometimes tell pro scouts that they intend to go to college even if drafted and that can effect where they are drafted, probably slipping a bit in the draft. With some NIL money available for college ball there is more of an enticement to play in college for some of the people. Of course, there are some really good players who still choose to go to college even if they are drafted relatively high because they and their families want the college experience, an education, and development.

The should now with the five for five ruling.

Joe and Gerry's latest convo

Hearing about more two year NIL offers this year. Is Texas doing this yet?

Great stuff dad

Any back story as to why he’s no longer on espn?

A few Thursday AM recruiting notes A few quick hitters to get the day started. Marcus Fakatou, EDGE/DL, Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon - Still the same. Ohio State slight leader over Texas. At least two family members like the idea of Texas with the idea of moving to the Austin area. Fakatou has younger sisters in volleyball, and the state of Texas is attractive to the family. But Ohio State slightly leads in Fakatou's mind. Ismael Camara, OT, Gilmer (Texas) High - Texas is confident they will be right there when the 6-6, 335-pounder makes his decision. That decision is expected to be late in the season around the December signing period. The belief is the recruitment will go the distance, barring a major change. Texas' confidence did grow slightly during and after Saturday-Sunday unofficial visit. Camara continues to work towards getting where he's required to be academically for the next level after moving to Gilmer from France. Brandon Sherrard, CB/DB, Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek - LSU vs. Texas. In speaking with someone close to the recruitment Wednesday afternoon, there is a belief in Austin Texas can win out. Lucas Rhoa, OT/IOL, Orange (Calif.) Orange Lutheran - OTF believes Texas continues to trend over UCLA. Texas engaged in some positive conversations Wednesday. OTF is also of the belief that Rhoa will have a decision prior to June 29, barring a major change. -------- Manvel (Texas) High defensive back Karnell "Greedy" James is still expected to flip to LSU from Texas. LSU is offering a two-year NIL deal that is substantially higher than Texas is willing to go, as of Wednesday.

There's no declare date.

They'll take up to three.

What’s the date that the guys that have to make a decision for the MLB draft?

Are we going after any pitchers? We lost 2 and our depth was shaky last season

Texas will for sure take another OF.
