Moderators Popular Post Gerry Hamilton Posted June 25 Moderators Popular Post Posted June 25 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. 50 Quote

AusMOJO Posted June 25 Posted June 25 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? 3 Quote

Thanos72 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 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. 1 Quote

T Hills was not impressed with him at all, and generally T Hills really likes the prospects. 2 Quote

NothinButDaHorns34 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 (edited) If he lands here I hope camara is a day one walk in starter with the type of NIL space he’s going to take up. Edited June 25 by NothinButDaHorns34 1 Quote
