    Land those 4 d lineman and that would be a grand slam.

    I missed these best case scenario I’m glad there back.

    For sure ... perfect cycle to need a 4 DL class. 

    Haha!

    Any news on Michael Terry III?

    Nothing new on my end. I could have included him in the ATH category with Townsend. I'm a big Townsend fan.

    Alamo Heights kid? Athlete I believe 

    Marsh the WR out of Katy?

     

    I like Marsh too. 

    Just me, but Kelshaun fits what Sark loves. Texas will recruit Moore through the whistle ... Sark wants that SoCal presence, so we shall see if they continue to roll out the red carpet headed into June OV with Harris. 

    Some tough calls at WR IMO.

    As long as you don't start ranking the posters here on OTF, we're ok with it. How'd I explain to my wife she's sleeping with a 1-star?

    Think I would like to see Texas take 5 DL if they have the opportunity to not move very far down the board. Cant be light on the DL in the SEC.

    Guys like Sanders, Utley, Jyon Simon, Riles, Simpson, Battle, Okponu are all very good players. Of those mentioned, DJ Sanders and Dilan Battle probably fit what PK likes do on defense best

    To me, Ty Haywood seems more likely than Newman to be in the class and just as good if not better. There are a lot of good OT prospects in state but curious to see how Flood views each prospect. Texas could pitch 3 OTs in a single class after only taking one last cycle

    I know you address this further up the chain here, but I'm a little confused why you didn't include Michael Terry from Alamo Heights. Sometimes I wonder if we just don't know what to do with guys in the athlete category. I wonder if he's more interested in playing quarterback, wide receiver, somewhere else? Perhaps he just doesn't fit into the class? Seems like a hell of an athlete.

    Some of us don’t follow recruiting as deep as others. Appreciate the introductions on the recruits. 

    We've entered that part of the year where everything you learned about the last class means nothing and now it's time to start all over again lol!

    Marsh has some issues. Also NIL recruitment.

    So you mentioned Jonah Williams is leaning OU because of football/baseball combo. Why would that not make Texas the strongest contender?

    Have a random cool idea. What if I’m doing those rankings there could be something like community rankings? Where the community votes/ranks Texas targets or players in general. Think that could be fun & interesting to see who the community likes as recruits. Just a thought!

    No kidding….if Marsh, Lockett, and Porter aren’t good enough, that’s a heck of a WR haul!! Plus, I guess we’ll need to hold at least one spot for a portal guy when Bond goes to the NFL after this year! He’s gonna have a monster year!

    Was surprised yall didn’t include Byron Washington, are other targets being prioritized over him 

    Right now, yes. 

    But key on the OL ... Texas is going to evaluate in the spring prior to June OV's
