If we pivot, I’d expect looks at some in-state 2026 kickers who have already visited. Gavin Strange (Southlake Carroll) or Michael Taylor II (Houston St. Thomas)

He visited campus 3-8-24, then reported the offer 3-18-24 (above). Also visited for the pool bash 7-25-24 and for the game versus Colorado State at 8-31-24 in addition to the latest visit.

Kamehameha Kapalama - same high school as Texas Volleyball’s Keonilei Akana and Devin Kahahawai.

Texas just got moneywhipped. Having your own alumni turn his back on your school is…something.

If we don’t lose anyone (TBD), we would bring back Blue, Wisner, Gibson, Clark, Baxter Jr, plus bring in two freshman. And that’s not including Page/walk one. How many roster spots will truly be allotted to RBs? 8 seems high…

They have to keep at least 1 member of that class.

A&M buddy says they cleared him out to bring in Rodgers, y’all think there’s any truth to that?

Some players really do not like when visit news breaks and can have a variety of reactions on seeing it publicized.

Although CJ Sampson chose Florida, his Tomball teammate Karson Reeder just committed to Texas! Both are high level right handed pitchers who helped Tomball to the UIL 6A State Title. Reeder has a nice 4 pitch mix, FB up to 90mph, and was named the championship game MVP as a sophomore.

This ended up being an extremely rewarding weekend. Manis, Krenek, Rangel, Peterson, and Thompson all committed to Texas, while Lord chose Florida and Smejkal is still uncommitted.

I thought that ship had sailed…interesting
