Texas 2025 Best Class Scenario: March 24 edition

It's time for the latest edition of the Best Class Scenario for the 2025 class.

Who does Texas lead for headed into April IMO...

Ricky Stewart, Jordon Davison, Kaliq Lockett, John Mills, Elijah Barnes, Matai Tagoa'i, Riley Pettijohn (slightly) and Kade Phillips.

Texas is right there for Fasusi, but that is real battle.

Wow! That'd be an amazing class. Hard to believe that#s not at least enough for top3. And it would address our needs for LB and DT almost perfectly. 🤘

One other thing. CJ mentioned in his interview with B. Brown yesterday that OTF is thinking about putting out its own rankings for the 2025 class. Is that true and if so, how far along in the process are you?

Inquiring minds want to know, Gerry? Bobby?

Curious as to why you didn't include Lamont Rogers, DJ Sanders, or Dilan Battle? 

Is it because this is a best/more likely class? 

Or do you consider the prospects you have included to be higher on the board than Rogers/Sanders/Battle? 

Or is it because all of the players you have listed already have OVs scheduled while the three I listed don't?

This is my opinion on what a Texas best class scenario would look like ...

The evaluations at some positions will continue into the spring period with some decisions to be made on Texas will ultimately push for.

I asked Bobby if OTF was going to do its own rankings and he said yes. My guess the rankings will released before May.

17 turnovers 3 inbound by RT . Are we sure we have the right coach ! It was sloppy & embarrassing. Tennessee won’t win another game.

Sorry 3 inbound turnovers by Hunter . I’m just upset with RT . I was expecting more.

I wasn’t sure Williams would be in the class. 

Love the receiver group.

Corner recruiting has me slightly concerned.

I wish Stewart was still going to SMU. Not seeing that one at all even as RB2

Williams is in the BCS as long as he’s committed. We shall see how that plays out

Gerry,

What are your thoughts on Smith Orogbo?  His length and burst of speed are unreal.  Clearly he needs to clean up some areas like lowering his upper body in his stance/not standing up, but speed KILLS!

Is he still interested in the Horns/vice versa?

Thanks!
