Thursday morning recruiting nuggets (7:33 a.m. CST)

wow. didn't realize Brandon Garrison was in the portal? perhaps Sark can give him a call as well.

Blessing for Texas that Matai isnt considering any schools West of the Mississippi. Or the Nacogdoches for that matter 

Sharma would be a great get and huge need for the class. Philips I think is underrated nationally and by many Texas recruiting fans. Very skilled and long athlete with plus movement skills. Could be a stud field safety

Gerry are we still recruiting Nasir Wyatt or is he a lock to Oregon?  I thought he was still visiting. This lb class will rival the 2023 haul

Now that the Michigan DL coach has resigned, is portal season open for Texas?

Gerry would RT have any interest in bringing Rob Lanier back to Texas?

What are your guys hearing about T Sweat doing some recruiting for Horns DL?

Just me ... nice thing to talk about. These top dudes on DL will be very strongly NIL impacted. The rest is window dressing ... if you want my honest opinion.

The new landscape of football.  I still hope the brand and appeal of playing at Texas these days is making an influence.  It's not Saban football but getting kids in the league should still be important.

Saban football is in the rearview mirror.

Thursday morning recruiting nuggets

Good morning, and let's get the day started!

Basketball portal target 

The Texas Longhorns finished in the top three for Oklahoma State transfer big man Brandon Garrison out of high school. OnTexasFootball expects the Longhorns to make a run at the 6-11, 245 pound rim protector and physical inside defensive presence once again. There is a built in relationship with a number of members of the Texas staff, including Rodney Terry. Terry was point man on the recruitment coming out of high school. 

Josiah Sharma and Texas

Folsom (Calif.) High 4-star defensive tackle Josiah Sharma is expected on campus in Austin in the next two or three weeks. Sharma, 6-5 and 300 pounds, was offered by Texas in late January when Co-DC Johnny Nansen made a stop by the school. Sharma has been in constant communication with Nansen and Kenny Baker in recent weeks. An official visit to Texas is also likely. 

Alabama, Washington and Utah are key players in the recruitment, along with the Longhorns. Oregon is also trying to make a push. 

Kade Phillips and Texas

OnTexasFootball continues to feel positive in where Texas sits in the recruitment of the 4-star defensive back out of Hightower (Texas) High. Phillips had a FaceTime call Tuesday night with Blake Gideon and Steve Sarkisian. Phillips will officially visit Texas June 21-23. LSU and Texas A&M is the competition for the Horns. Baylor will also receive an April official visit. 

Michael Terry visiting Texas

OnTexasFootball spoke with a source close to the recruitment of 4-star athlete Michael Terry (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights) Wednesday night. Terry, 6-2 and 218 with 10.8 100 meter speed, is scheduled to be on campus April 6 for the big unofficial visit weekend. Texas continues to recruit Terry as an athlete. Texas A&M, TCU, Texas Tech, Nebraska and Oregon are the schools seriously in contention. 

Matai Tagoa'i on campus Friday

OnTexasFootball 4-star linebacker Matai Tagoa'i (San Clemente, Calif./High) is expected on campus Friday with the California Power team. OTF considers Texas the favorite over Utah, Washington and USC headed into spring visits. Tagoa'i, 6-3 and 195 pounds, will officially visit Washington, Utah and Texas in that order in June.

Tagoa'i is a must get IMO. The guy just pops on tape. Looks like he's playing against Middle School kids. I think he has a chance to be special. Go get him Sark!

Would be surprised if Texas created a spot for him. 

Rob has now made very good $$$ ... he could be done too. Not sure.
