You taking him to the taco stands, CJ? 

I will not be returning to those anytime soon. I have had about 7 hours of sleep since Saturday.

Industry rankings aren't always perfect, or even good, but our "top LB" is rated like 2 pages lower than Auburn or Cal guys who are also in the portal.  Are we that good at evaluation?  Something feels off, no?  Based on OTF's reporting, I was expecting the three "TBA" to be slightly better than this.

I’ll trust Muschamps judgement here…

Ya, I get it.  I guess I'm more questioning whether or not that this is one of the three, big time "TBA" targets that we were prioritizing over the Auburn kid.

Are you new to Texas football this year? If not, this stuff has given MORE than enough evidence that their evaluation process is top notch with the portal.

They absolutely have, and I'm not doubting them entirely.  I would point out that they haven't been perfect, and we're watching the playoffs from our couches this year because they whiffed a year ago at a few spots.  But...it's just a little jarring when you're told that we have three targets ranked higher than a proven SEC LB who the pundits seemingly all love, the names can't be disclosed, and the staff is all-in.  Then when one of those three is unveiled, he's ranked ~500-600 best player in the portal.  I'm all for hidden gems, I'm all for doubting the rankings. I guess I was just expecting something a bit more exciting.  I hope this is more Kanu and less Levon.

Bruiser, good motor, probably high IQ, physical/tough as hell, will stop the run.  Seems a bit stiff, don’t ask him to cover anybody, not that fast. Good player, not a super star.  We’ll take it

Seems like a recruitment Texas has wanted to keep quiet, if at all possible. 

May be best plan. Seems if we like someone , other schools step it up.

Mods , block this if need be but heard the Auburn LB we liked a lot but may have had an issue with getting admission. Academic side. Could be BS. Heard it somewhere during this mess.

I read somewhere that the issue with Woodyard was grades/Academics. Is that the case?

No. Texas just has others they like better. He was NO. 4 on the initial LB list when the portal opened. But Woodyard is also a very good player.

Texas had him No. 4 when the portal opened, as a player. They just liked three others more, but he's a quality ILB with football smarts/savvy.
