hookemholds Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Jahkeem Stewart just reclassed to 2025. Texas seems to have been on and off in his recruitment. I’ve heard he might come to the Georgia game? But I’ve also heard that only USC, Oregon, LSU, and OSU have been the only one in on it… Do we think THANOS might come to Texas? He’s a heck of a player. Him and Simmons 👀 😈… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaertyisthatdude Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Hold your horses. He will be a good player with due time, but even more so since he’s skipping his senior season of high school, he needs a couple of years in a D-1 strength and conditioning program before he’s ready to be that guy. DT is one of the most developmental positions in football. That being said, he’s probably going to LSU imo, hence why he reclassified to ‘25. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NothinButDaHorns34 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I’ll believe we can consistently pull top players out of the boot from LSU when it happens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that long ago that we got the # 1 offensive player in Louisiana and the # 1 defensive player in Louisiana - in the same class 🙂 It's rare but it can happen Spoiler Derek Williams and Arch Manning in the 2023 class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas is interested, but only to a certain point. I doubt Texas will do what a couple of others would NIL wise. But we shall see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we shall see. At some point, isn’t that going to be the difference in championship teams and not? What would this defense look like if it had Nolan, Caldwell, or Williams in the middle? I know I’d be a lot more confident if Nolan was in the middle right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goattalk100 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Tough to beat LSU in this one. Think he would have interest but will he go anywhere below a certain number in NIL? I trust the staff to make the best decision for the team & culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcelS Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Kid needs better guidance. No school will give him meaningful snaps on the DL as a 17 yr old. Whoever he signs with won't be his final stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinncent McManning, Jr. Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Even if he is truly amazing you aren’t going to get much value in a reclassified freshmen. D line is not like wr where a skinny athletic kid can dominate, and even that is a rarity. I’d rather throw money at a guy like Autry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a top 3 NIL position out of high school and even more expensive as transfers especially for quality. He’s a top 5-10 player in country caliber whether 2026 or 2025 class. That is the worth. You’re looking at the position completely wrong in terms of going after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re looking at the position completely wrong in terms of going after. I understand where you are coming from but I am looking at this from a cost standpoint. You have x millions to spend on a team. There is a breaking point where you overpay for talent. Do you pay 2x or 3 x for a Stewart than a Sharma or Charles? Is it better to have 5 guys at DT or 3 if one is Stewart? What are you losing with the guy coming in early. Let’s say he can contribute early like Alex January. Well now make him 1 year younger is he really the same as a 2025 vs 2026 guy? I don’t know the raw nil dollars being thrown around but there is a point that you can not overpay to get him.

If you have a chance at a Peter Woods, this guy, and etc at this position you take them. They’re difference makers. You’re overpaying regardless because the position demands it and it’s the most competitive position to recruit. It’s cheaper out of Hs than in portal.
