Moderators Blake Munroe Posted February 2 Moderators Share Posted February 2 The Longhorns offered Aldine Nimitz linebacker Javar Thomas today. Earlier this afternoon, Texas assistant coach Jeff Banks stopped by the school to meet with Thomas and it was then that an offer was extended.

Long arms/levers LB's with frame to develop with the ability to pursue the ball. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 2 Moderators Share Posted February 2 Thomas visited Texas back for the Kansas game on September 30 and was most recently back on campus for the Texas Junior Day. Another lengthy offer at the LB spot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also mouthpiece dangling from his facemask seems undisciplined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Every player these days has their mouthpiece dangling from their facemask and knee pads not over their knees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Pop Warner coach in me flinches when I see a mouthpiece dangling. 😄 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He closes extremely well. Definitely long-levered as Gerry described. The only thing you don't really see is him playing off of blocks because he's clearly not asked to very much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What knee pads? They seem to have been enlisted from pants these days. Seems as if slow healing meniscus injuries may have increased also. I do not have definitive data, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotElmodontcare Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Barnes and Pettijohn inside. This kid and or Pearland Kid. Pearland kid may not stick as we get more guys. Thinking he is Hunter Moddon 25. Unless he skyrockets senior year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elijah Barnes and Riley Pettijohn are no brainers for Texas and others nationally. Texas really likes Jonathan Cunningham out of North Crowley too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBobbyFinstock Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) How many are we taking? Seems we have several lines in the water. I know the McKinney kid is probably tops on the board. Who would be second? I really like the Skyline kid. Edited February 3 by CoachBobbyFinstock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Pettijohn are the top in state. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Moore Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 With Anthony Williams in the fold already I suspect they're willing to go to four if it's for the right 4 names 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
