Jermaine Bishop Jr. & 10.07 Dillon Mitchell

[Gerry Hamilton]

 

[Gerry Hamilton]

I’ve been out at a local He track meet

Will have a 11-12 minute YouTube interview with Dillon Mitchell this weekend or next week 

Dad played at Texas A&M 

Dillon went to two Texas A&M games this year, and one at Texas

Has 37 offers total 

His recruitment will come down to … CFB or pro track

No disrespect, Gerry, But I’d pump the brakes with the “Texas longhorn freshman playmaker”. He hasn’t done anything on the field in front of 100k plus in DKR let alone even put on the pads for spring practice. I think we get way ahead of ourselves with expectations for these guys.

Well he is a Longhorn. And a freshman. And a playmaker by position….. so it kinda checks out imo. It’s the university of Texas, there are high expectations for everyone that steps on the field to be honest.

He was top 3 in the world this year in the indoor 60 meters.  Posted a 6.63 and 6.64 on consecutive weekends.  

I wonder how that track meet yesterday went?

He didn't run open 100 

He ran a couple of relays

HE's saving it for Bluebonnet Relays, and he's going to NYC to run the 60m against Lyles and other pros in March

This is simply outstanding. I actually laughed out loud reading it.

I suppose we can no longer refer to a true freshman corner as a "burner", or can't call Dia Bell a "gunslinger". No adjectives until they have completed their eligibility!!

Aggie lock, got it.

He's in the top 10 of most high school career receiving yards in Texas. Ever.

Thanks for the info, Gerry.

If he plays BOTH, then he will be a modern day Bob Hayes.

Crazy to say, but I think it may ultimately come down to if he grows 2-3 inches. If he does, he will be a near lock to go pro track out of HS because his upside will still be so great. If he stays 5-7/5-7.5 ... I think it my slightly limit his track upside, but maybe not. There has been one 5-8 100 meter sprinter that went sud 9.9

Please be real. Would any, I mean one, Longhorn fan ever overhype a player?  The answer is yes!!!
