Texas 2025 Best Class Scenario: March 5 edition

The Texas Longhorns are in search of a fourth straight top 5 ranked recruiting class. And if the early returns headed into the spring mean anything, the odds are at least 50-50% Steve Sarkisian and staff pull it off. 

To get your Friday going, here is the latest edition of the Texas Best Class Scenario for the 2025 cycle. There are 29 names currently on the list with a combination of 24-25 creating a near lock scenario for a fourth straight top 5 class.

Interesting… no Battle or Harris

Again, my opinion. Harris could very well end up in the class ... Sark wants that SoCar footprint. I just think others are better. 

Spoke with Battle yesterday. Kenny Baker hit him up this week ... but no OV as of yesterday. 

For me, you won't take/get Zion and Battle. And Sharma is a beast ... better prospect IMO.

Is there a way to quantify the value of a number one wide receiver versus the number 2 wide receiver? For example is more the number one wide receiver on the board worth three points a game more than the next wide receiver on the board? Or  is the difference so slight that there really isn't a point differential.

The linebacker haul is not only exciting but seems very realistic. You add those young men to the group we will have returning next year, and you've got something special! Not only for defense but special teams would be scary for punt/kick-off returners.

Is there a legitimate chance for Ffrench to end up in the class?

He really likes Sark’s offense and the way wide receivers were used last year and developed. Maybe a Ryan Williams situation a bit from a year ago, but the difference is Ffrench is getting to campus.

Dakorien Moore would be a 3 point guy to answer your Q

See where the NIL heads in that one. It's heavy hitters Ohio State, FSU, Miami and Texas

Texas getting an April 6 and June 21-23 OV ... Texas has a legit shot.

What kind of player is Sims? Upside Comp on past Texas team?? Just haven’t heard much about him!

Maybe Albert Regis similar athlete ... Regis will likely end up an NFL Draft pick in two years out of Texas A&M.

That stream would be mighty entertaining any time I get to the green. Turns into hockey from there.
