Here we go....

 

I really want this one!

[David Heredia]

I read where it’s looking like it ll be USC and I’d rather he choose them over OSU, Texas should have an opportunity to flip him later into the year

No lol

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

USC

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

Agree. Way easier to flip from usc than osu

[AJJ_Sports]

Sark has tendency of getting linebackers to flip late in the cycle.. even if he doesn’t pick us right away you know sark and co will recruit Pettijohn through the whistle.

Texas needs to breakout the big checkbook. Recruits are making business decisions that’s for their family.

[Steven Schrader]

so did Smith Orogbo commit or not?  Reported on IT that he did, but I trust Gerry much more...hmmm

As long as we get one of Faraimo or Pettijohn in addition to Barnes then I’ll be happy. Pettijohn has the higher floor & will be likely to maximize, Faraimo has the higher upside imo. I think if Faraimo maximizes he will be special.

Barnes and Faraimo are Mike LB Pettijohn is more of a play is space LB

When GH ignores these types of questions completely, it usually signals bad news incoming.

Or he has other stuff going on and hasn't seen it yet.

If Texas has the type of season they expect to have. I’d think flip season will be busy on a positive note. They recruit through the whistle.

I don’t think that’s the case here.

I actually think Faraimo can do both & I think nowadays it’s easier to find space LB’s than great mikes imo

We just came off of a conf championship, playoff appearance and incredible draft.  We are now entering a the SEC and will play in incredible environments.  Culture on the team is great and UT and Austin offers great academics, and a great city. 
 

Not sure what else is going to convince him.   Ohio St can check off the box on many of the same areas, although Columbus is not Austin.   However, USC has a a lot of questions.   The problem is we don’t know the true motivator behind his decision.  How much does NIL play a factor and what are NIL opportunities at Ohio St and USC vs Texas.

I was meaning multiple recruits not just him. I try to look at things positively. You see a lot of negative or panic on here when it’s recruiting. I think 2 straight playoff’s and a possible natty game or win would do a bit more for recruiting. Then there’s no it was a one off year. Again I just try to look at it differently
