  1. I think he meant he’s back in coaching. Been out since 2020 or so.
  2. Definitely. They’ll come back with another event in early spring IMO.
  3. I think there are some of those who are teetering on that idea, including one very specific player who will go unnamed right now. But Texas is not pushing for it really. Again, what’s the rush if you’re Texas?
  4. CJ and I tackle the topic in this morning’s OTF episode.

    Sunday

    The first Junior Day of the year occurred yesterday. And it was considered “successful”. So how many commitments did the Longhorns grab? Five? Seven? Ten? Nope. Just one emerged. And it really should be no surprise to close onlookers of the program. That’s how Steve Sarkisian plays it. When it comes to recruiting and Sark, patience isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a way of life. Yet there are different ways to look at his patience. Sark and running back coach Tashard Choice took that one commitment not from a player in the upcoming 2025 class, but a running back in 2026, Aledo’s speedy Raycine Guillory Jr. Perhaps that’s how the Horns want to play it. Take a player who wants to sign two years from now, yet a pledge from a 2025 player is just too soon. How does that jibe with Sark’s “patient”recruiting style? Here’s how: The immediate class needs more detailed introspection. While we all know a commitment two years from now doesn’t always stick, one in the ‘25 class is very likely to. So Sark is actually playing the long game yet again. Better to be thorough on the front end, especially on decisions that will impact your program sooner. It’s a simple, proven concept. And Sark’s not changing, not until he has truly surveyed the landscape, met with a multitude of recruits and is ready to pull the trigger. Sark and recruiting, I just never get the feeling that he pushes the panic button. He’s willing to play the long game. Always. ** New scholarship offers for class of 2025: ATH, Michael Terry Jr., San Antonio Alamo Heights RB, Rickey Wright, Tyler Chapel Hill OL Ryan Frodje, Cypress Bridgeland OL, Connor Carry, Prosper DL, Gustavo Cordova, Lake Travis ** We’ll have more from junior day later today.

  8. Never say never. But not right now. Gerry is working for corporate.
  9. Sark’s timetable rarely matches what many might think. He’s willing to wait when others would have already pulled the trigger.
  10. No telling how they would play that.
  11. None yet. Not sure if he made it in.
  12. I think this will likely be the last class where Texas has to hit the portal this hard to maintain a certain level. The Horns are literally on the last year of subpar recruiting in the upper class ranks.
  13. Anything is possible. But not currently anticipated on our end.
  14. He was a rotational player on a 10-win defense. He's much needed depth if nothing else. Right now, Texas doesn't know what it has in Sydir Mitchell, Alex January, etc.
  15. The recruit from Louisiana is committed to LSU and Texas is no longer involved. The player out of Mississippi is up in the air, but his tie to Texas was Bo Davis so it seems like a long shot right now.
  16. 6-4, 305.
  17. Let's build the foundation!
  18. Just a slight addition here. I’m told this was a BIG offer for Terry, one he’s really been hoping for.
  19. Definite rotation guy out of the gate and let the chips fall where they may. Played a lot for a defense that won 10 games this year.
  20. Since we are a new email address, we are going to be filtered into spam quite a bit. Check your spam folder and/or I can approve it personally, which I will try to look through the list and do 4-5 times daily. Thanks for your patience!
  21. Good stuff, Blake!
  22. Michael Terry Jr. from San Antonio Alamo Heights was offered by Texas today. Terry, who plays quarterback in high school, is expected to be a receiver on the college level. Terry also has offers from Oregon, Nebraska, Oklahoma and TCU. Terry was one of four new scholarship offers on the day after more than 100 high school football prospects descended on the University of Texas football facility.

  24. Love this! I voted for Bama!!!
  25. Thanks, Jeff. Very kind words. I hope everyone finds this a good place to talk about the Horns.
