Good stuff!

Damari Simeon (6:11 pm CST)
I’m fine with the bottom line approach. But Texas would very much be willing to go to five or even six at the position.

Nick Brooks next to Arch
Brooks is just a huge human.

Texas still has an offer out to Simeon. Another team now has a higher one.

My man, there is/was a spot for him. You can choose to believe folks who think they know or ones that actually do. No offense to those others but they’re dead wrong on this issue. Texas still wants Simeon, it’s just not gonna happen.

Yes, there was.

Meet my new Longhorns!
Love it!!!

Malakai Lee (12:15pm CST)
He plays way too over his hips. Is a waist bender and doesn’t slide laterally well enough currently to play on the college level. That being said, I think he’s a talented prospect. But he’s more prospect than player at this point for any school recruiting him.

We shall see.

This is accurate.

I think Turntine is a no doubter left tackle. He’ll have to be beat out at that position before he would move, no matter where he signs.

And it's goodbye to A&M
What we know at this point is that he moved up his commitment date following the South Carolina visit. At the same time, Texas is not recruiting another un-committed corner currently.

Lott or not?
Bishop had nothing to do with Lott’s decision other than Bishop’s pledge could have shrunk the NIL pool at the position.

And it's goodbye to A&M
Stanford is a great academic school. Without question. However, to go somewhere where you don’t have an inkling who your head coach would be next year would be baffling given the amount of NFL money at stake, much less NIL money.

We shall see July 12.

Meh. There can be a kernel of truth to something without it being the only issue or even the primary one. For me, the bigger issue is the lack of success Texas has had at North Shore generally, especially when considering they've been fairly good to the school overall in return.

Phillips was a state qualifier in the sprints and about 20 pounds lighter.

Starters that transfer out
Good question IMO. Texas keeps its best players historically. More than most other places, including Alabama and Georgia. Similar to Ohio State IMO.
-
Starters that transfer out
But I don't think he would start at Texas.
-
Hearing...
Because they have talented players. And every player is different.

Hearing...
It has been indeed. Waiting to see.

Guys, Not sure how to explain this better. Simeon is not considered just another guy. He is seen as an elite prospect by Texas. Take public recruiting rankings out of the equation.
-
Hearing...
I want to add this: I do not think Calicut's commitment is done. I've heard he's leaning that way.
-
Hearing...
I think Devin Sanchez is going to be great.

All these North Shore guys that have gone other places and largely flamed out, all while Corey Redding remains the best player with the best pro career in North Shore history. And he did that at Texas. Someone needs to change the narrative over there.
