Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted July 16 Moderators Share Posted July 16 Decision Day: 4-star WR Kelshaun Johnson Hitchcock (Texas) High 4-star wide receiver and explosive playmaker Kelshaun Johnson is scheduled to announce his decision at around 5:30 p.m. central today. Headed into Monday, Texas A&M has been trending for three weeks with the Houston area speedster. The work of Holmon Wiggins has been strong in the favor of the Aggies with an assist from Mike Elko. Texas has attempted to turn up the heat in the last week and half with Steve Sarkisian and Chris Jackson in constant contact with Johnson and his mother. Johnson and his mother spoke with Sarkisian and Jackson a final time Monday headed into Tuesday's decision. OTF believes Johnson ended Monday continuing to lean to the Aggies. OTF will continue to check in with sources close to the recruitment to see if there is any change today headed into the announcement. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Lane Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Looks like this one is going the other way. Such a shame, especially since he was a heavy Texas lean at one point. Reminds me of taking the double L in looking past Oklahoma and focusing one the glamour win against Georgia.....only to lose both. Have to take the shot at DK, but, knowing now, maybe not as singularly focused. Ffrench and possibly Lockett help, but, we still have to fill the WR roll of X once Bond leaves. Kelshuan like DK is that speed burner on the edge. A real shame. You never know, maybe at the final hour something changes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid can probably fill any roles needed for this offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Bradford Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 You never want to lose a recruit to your rival, but I also don't fault Texas for having several WR's ahead of Johnson. You can't have anyone ahead of Dk Moore or Ffrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goattalk100 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 A&M definitely pitching be the guy, playing time wide open, etc. Our WR room is more crowded & will probably always be more crowded & talented with Sark here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look at their WR recruiting the last few years and that’ll tell you what their pitch is…”we desperately need you because we don’t get anybody” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would be an easy selll for us to combat with the leading Receiver at K State last year with a better QB was a TE at 676 yards and 6 TD's. Top receiver had 589/5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) aggy easily wins the early playing time sell. At Texas, he's behind Cook, Moore, Wingo, and any other WR we bring in from the portal. Shoot, Bolden and Golden would have another year of eligibility remaining in 2025. aggy will likely be losing their starting 3 WRs after this season and their backups are JAGs.

Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holomon Wiggins has been on him, and has had him as their "speed" guy for a while. Texas has to fight against Kelshaun visiting Texas the same weekend as Dakorien, and Moore got the lions share of the attention. And the NIL piece ... that's an unknown, but a lot of time it comes down to allocating resources at positions. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornmatic Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I can understand A&M coming hard and making a big push, but it doesn’t seem like we ever cooled on him, or ghosted him. We were in on him pretty early, gave him a chance to commit during the spring. As soon as his A&M visit went well Sark was talking with him the next night. It’s not like we thought we had our class set with the three 5s and stopped recruiting him. He’s always had a spot and I hope he sees it that way.

A defensive head coach with a run first OC doesn’t exactly scream WR friendly unless he just really wants to block and get the ball in desperation situations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Bradford Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) A&M for Kelshaun Johnson. A&M beat out Texas for him. A&M did a good job. I’m assuming Texas will land Ffrench and Lockett. Edited July 16 by Hunter Bradford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Bradford Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Kelshaun Johnson could end up being like Isaiah Bond if he puts on about 20 pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Butler Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I’m going on record that Johnson will flip to Texas after seeing the Aggie offense this season versus the texas offense. He might have to work to get on the field, but that’ll only make his game better when he does see PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
