It'd be a surprise if they matched Colorado imo

Damn, really wanted this kid part of the class. Cant get em all. Would love to stuff Lane in the close for Sherrard and then close with Jackson.

Man, they had to really go over the top for that one, I would think. From everything I've heard from OTF, Schumaker and Tyler Alexander are not similar players. Shumaker is a top 50, top 100 talent from my understanding. My guess is they would have preferred him over Alexander - does this mean Colorado just went WAY over the top? I assume Texas had Shumaker >>> Alexander

It does but not directly related to Texas. For Colorado it changed calculus.

Would Texas try to match CU in NIL for Shumaker? Or are they gonna stick with what they have without going overboard?

Yeap, if I'm building a team in today's league, I'm spending money on wings and guards. The amount of money the Heat about to spend on their frontcourt, you'd think it was 1995 not 2026.

I have to go with Jelani McDonald. Ty'Anthony Smith had some big hits in high school but is probably a bit too undersized to really decleat guys in the SEC. Here's a clip of him and Jasper vs. Waco Connally in the playoffs during Smith and Kobe Black's senior seasons. Jasper won and ended Black's HS career. Kinda crazy seeing how skinny Smith was at that point

Colorado had been very aggressive on all DL recruiting. Alexander was one they missed on despite a strong NIL push.

Agreed. They were determined to land one of Alexander and Shumaker

Colorado clearly made a big NIL push on the heels of Alexander picking Texas. Wild stuff.

No

It will be Penn state

Great update Hank

Best of luck to the young man

As of Tuesday morning, multiple sources feel DeSoto (Texas) CB Dhillon McGee is not going to end up selecting Texas on Wednesday evening. SMU and Penn State are the other two finalists. The Longhorns have recruited the in-state CB hard, but as the class has evolved and come together, with guys like John Meredith III and Greedy James, and potentially Montre Jackson (June 27 announcement) and Brandon Sherrard (July 1 announcement), it's opened the door for others like the Nitanny Lions and Mustangs to keep it close, and for Texas to be picky when it comes to how the staff wants to fill out the last 1-2 CB spots. We'll keep you posted if anything changes ahead of Wednesday night.

Warren Roberson

Kenny Vaccaro might've been the last true head-hunting safety Texas had. Kenny was much more than that, though. Even more recently, guys like Jason Hall would now be recruited to play linebacker. That transition worked for DeMarvion Overshown, FWIW.

Yeah we need a baseball update.

Today my Birthday...expecting 3 commits today.

Big season for Jeff Banks' unit coming up. A little concerned about Gianni Spetic's accuracy, but the leg power is there for sure. While I don't think Mac Chiumento can replicate what Jack Bouwmeester did, hopefully he is better than Michael Kern was two seasons ago. I feel good about their long snapper Trey DuBuc.

Until we match up with UGA’s special teams, I can’t rank Banks ahead of their guy.

Jeff Banks receiving love.
