All the same stuff y’all said about baker. Emotional 

He can rebound and have a good run next year but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t whiffed on all of his top prospects this class.

Aggie huge NIL is why KJ Edwards committed

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

CJ do you know if we ever reached out to Savion Hiter?  Usual sec and big 10 schools involved though looks like he is going to Tennessee or Michigan. An absolute stud of a RB. Wonder if we figured for sure we’ll be fine with Osborne, Edwards or Crowell and just didn’t recruit him.

So very confused.

Meanwhile, not worried at the moment! Sark seems to stick on his primary guys and hang around the rim until NSD. I feel weird levels of zen that we’ve already heard our guy’s name, and we land a primary target in the end. Would be pretty cool if it was somehow Cooper 🤤, but I digress.

And another thing! You dudes on the livestreams digress too much. If I drank every time Jeff digressed I’d be haymered on the regular.

Flip phone Chad finding out how hard recruiting is in the SEC.  Took Choice for granted.

Are we totally out on Derek Cooper?

I'm not a scout or expert, but my opinion is that this kid should not be a take for this class.  I would like to hear @Gerry Hamilton or @Bobby Burton opinion of his talent level and running style.  To me, he doesn't seem to separate, runs very upright, and doesn't show much lateral quickness.  I could definitely be wrong and if the staff actually likes him and he somehow becomes part of this class, I will root for him.  I just don't see him seeing the field at Texas.

Bring this guy to Austin NOW!!! I saw his tape and he has shiftiness and wiggle. He's not the fastest but fast enough and if he gets into the open field no one is catching him.

[TooBrokeToPayAttention21]

Well Bussey played in 2A ball and looking at this kids tape he has the tools but just needs some development. He's shifty, slippery, etc (insert other like adjectives here) and has the moves to get into the open field. Now he's not 10.4 fast in the open field but fast enough that nobody is catching him when he gets there. I think he's a take now and to get some momentum in that position. If he really develops some more his senior year he could be a diamond in the rough for us. 🤘😁

I agree with you. Film is pretty meh especially considering competition level. He also shows no patience. 

[Assistant Regional Manager]

Some of y’all need to learn there is a long runway between making contact with a kid and actually pushing for them.

Texas probably contacts 150 kids a cycle.

2026 New Boston RB Ashton Rowden tells OTF that he has been in contact with Texas running back coach Chad Scott recently.

Rowden said he is familiar with Scott, and that there was a conversation about a week ago where Texas was checking in on the New Boston four-star back.

The 5-foot-11-inch running back holds 24 offers at the moment, and took four official visits in the month of June:

• May 30: TCU
• June 6: Texas Tech
• June 13: Minnesota
• June 20: Houston

As far as I know, there was no visit conversation, but Rowden certainly becomes a name to monitor on the trail.

Amazing insight there...

[Deep in the heart]

I wouldn't mind just getting ready for 2027,  I feel good about the RB room after this season. This is a product of coach Choice stacking the room before he left. I'm more looking to see us stack on both lines of scrimmage like we are doing this cycle. Let's see those dominoes fall.
