Jerky Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Thank you for all the Ffrench recruiting coverage Gerry! Ffrench has been the most intriguing and most likely OOS WR recruit for TX in this cycle imo. After many FSU visits, they seem out of it based on the lack of Ffrench recruiting coverage and their 3 WR commits. Hasn't been to Bama since last year. OHST has a loaded WR room and 3 WR commits. TN also has 3 WR commits. LSU already has 2 WR commits including a 5-star. I was expecting at least 1 FL school to emerge as a top 2-5 for the Mandarin HS FL prospect. Miami has 1 WR commit and 1 Mandarin HS teammate ATH/S commit. TX v UM TEXAS 12-2, Big 12 Champs & CFP > Miami 7-6, loss in Bad Boy Mowers Bowl to Rutgers SEC > ACC, SARK TX OFFENSE # 7 OFEI > Mario UM offense #34 OFEI, TX MANNING 5* QB & OWENS 4* QB > UM Williams 3* QB & Poffenbarger 3* QB, TX with 1st RD, 2nd RD & 6th RD NFL WRs > UM with zero WRs drafted under Cristobal/Beard, JACKSON WR-C has NFL experience as a player & coach > Beard UM WR-C has none, JACKSON WR 1,004 catches for 13,355 yds > Beard WR 10 catches for 87 yds (Arena League) TX early playing time probability < Miami early playing time probability, TX NIL #1 > Miami NIL #16 (Estimated NIL Rankings by on3 in 2023), TX DKR Memorial 101,625 > UM Hard Rock 49,714 ('23 average attendance) UT #19 & #32 > UM #53 & #67 (National Universities rankings by Top Universities & US News) Austin TX to Jacksonville, FL is a 4-5 hr flight < Miami to Jacksonville is a 4.5 hour drive. Etc Ruiz (NIL) of Miami could up the price. His HS teammate at Miami means something but it usually isn't a deciding factor. Proximity can often be a deciding factor in a close call. But Miami doesn't make as much sense in the big picture as Texas unless Ffrench must stay closer to home and he doesn't care as much about WR development, QB play, offensive performance, competing vs the best, championships, maybe NIL, maybe education and ultimately getting drafted by the NFL vs early playing time probability, playing with his teammate and possibly a slim increase in NIL. Don't believe it would be a huge difference in NIL either way. A difference in early playing time probability doesn't matter as much as it once did because of the frequent option to portal. If Ffrench is outstanding early like Worthy or Wingo then Ffrench plays early at TX, if not he gets his shot as a rfr or soph. Believe FSU, Bama, OHSt and TN are unlikely options. LSU may be in it to some degree. But I agree with Gerry, Miami appears to be our main competition. French has visited Miami more frequently than LSU and TX, his HS teammate is committed to Miami and Miami has the proximity to home advantage vs LSU and TX. Won't be surprised if it is Miami or Texas or even LSU. But I believe Ffrench should ultimately pick Texas for many important reasons including OTF recruiting coverage. 🤘🤘🤞 We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTown Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I hope we land him after the Moore loss, but I could see him staying in Florida just as easy. $ talks obviously, but playing time is the key to many recruits. Texas has shown even with good receivers, they will portal hunt also. Could come down to that and Miami wins out. Hope not🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Ramirez Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40884354/substantial-doubt-company-miami-booster-john-ruiz I know Miami has other sources of NIL money, but this could throw their NIL program into disarray. At least we can hope that’s it’s enough to scare Ffrench away from Miami. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
