    Ffrench said he wanted to visit Texas.

    Got the impression Fodje was at best #3 on Texas' OT board.

    Texas loved Fodje. He was a take.

    Texas is definitely working to get a lot of these guys on campus in March, April Spring Game or June OV's ... Ffrench would be among the toughest of pulls out of the group.

    OL recruiting against OU is going to be tough since all these kids see OU line in shambles and a great place to play as a freshman, although only the very elite are ready mentally and physically to play as freshmen. Kids need to figure out the best path for OL is to sit a year or 2 then play 3 or 2 before going to the draft. If Cam Williams steps up and takes the job then plays a couple and goes high in the draft that should be the ideal path for the majority of top rated OL guys. 

    Gus "The Bus" Cordova and Chuck McDonald are must gets just for those great throwback names alone.

    I agree with you on OU being inviting to OL's in 2025 due to what you said ... coupled with Texas signing 15 over the last three classes, and none of the 12 from 2022 & 2023 hitting the portal (as of yet).

    Inviting only to kids who think on field experience is more important than off field conditioning and practices.  Maturity means a lot, especially at OL.

    Looking at this list and other Texas offers.... 

     

    PK and co have a chance to take an entire DB/LB class where the shortest player is 6 1.5" 

    That is a lot of length and rangy athletic ability!
