Quandre Diggs for me

Mukuba is probably the odds on favorite. Moore is my favorite here. I love his addition off the edge.

In the final Big 12 season David Pierce's squad will partake in, there is some heavy preseason recognition headed their direction. LHP Lebarron Johnson Jr. was named the preseason Big 12 Pitcher of the Year. OF Will Gasparino took home the preseason Freshman Player of the Year award as well. Gasparino was a top 75 MLB Draft prospect by several scouting services prior to his enrollment to The University of Texas. There were six unanimous selections for the preseason first team All-Big 12 lineup, OF Porter Brown was one of them. Brown hit .323 with 12 HR and 59 RBI in 2023.

That's three visits from/by the Texas staff and Elijah Bo Barnes in the last week. Nansen stopped by last week to watch a workout, the junior day and now today.

Anthony Wheeler I believe

Couldn’t agree more.

It feels like it could be a wide open conversation. If Alfred Collins ends up being the best Def. player for Texas next year, the iDL will no longer be a weak spot or question mark. If I could call my shot, I would bet Anthony Hill Jr. becoming the most impactful Longhorn on the defensive side of the ball in 2024.

From what I have heard, Texas was pretty upfront in the recruitment with Muhammad that he would have to come in and compete for a starting spot. Oregon basically has the approach that he can come in and have the job immediately.

I am a big time fan of his game.

You can expect some winter conditioning workout updates here soon. Texas is just getting started this week.

4.5 is my bet. It is very possible Mitchell is the sixth WR off the board and still finds himself going round one. It's that deep of a WR group this year.

Watts missed the entirety of the Oklahoma and Houston games with injury, then played just one snap against Texas Tech. His adjusted snap count for games he was healthy for is right around 60%. I do not have specific numbers for tight games however.

Will certainly help having a third year Quinn Ewers in the system as well. Ultimately, I don't think the offense looks all that different. Perhaps a bit more vertical, but that split of run-pass under Sarkisian will always be evident in his offsenses.

The door has yet to shut, but it certainly doesn't indicate the door re-opening. I expect a decision to come later this week, still however, I am trending away from Texas.

Texas offered 2025 Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III over the weekend during the Junior Day. Terry did not shy away from discussing how much the Texas offer meant to him. Following the trip, Terry mentioned Texas joined TCU and Texas Tech in his top 3 grouping. Should Texas fully pursue Terry, I would give them the nod in this recruitment. There are some connections to the Texas program here that will work in the Longhorns' favor behind the scenes. The Longhorns did not discuss a specific position on the trip with Terry which is interesting. The do-it-all athlete has been recruited mostly at WR, though there have been other offers ranging across the field, including corner and safety. The 6-foot-3 athlete is ranked as the 11th player in the state of Texas for the 2025 cycle per the composite rankings. Terry's Junior Film: http://www.hudl.com/v/2M8MLy View full news

Oddly enough, the leading snap getters by percentage at Oregon and Texas don't come close to what Muhammad was able to get at Washington. In 2023, Muhammad was on the field for 87.58% of the Huskies' snaps per PFF. Texas' leading CB in terms of snap volume was Terrance Brooks at just over 63%. Four Texas CB saw >34% of the team snaps as well. Leading snap getter at Oregon was Khyree Jackson who saw just over 55% of the Oregon's snaps. However, Oregon is experiencing much more attrition at the position.

Former Washington DB Jabbar Muhammad is in Eugene at the moment wrapping up his official to Oregon. The Ducks, to me, are the favorite to land the former All-PAC 12 cornerback, despite the family ties Muhammad has to Texas. A large reason for that is the snap share Muhammad would have with Oregon, and even Alabama for that matter. It is no secret Texas likes to rotate its defensive backs throughout games and the cornerback position is one that will have several capable bodies fighting for playing time in 2024. Oregon is pitching an immediate starting role for Muhammad. With the former DFW native hoping to increase his draft grade with one final collegiate season, playing time is the highest priority on the list. Immediate play time is biggest differentiator in this recruitment to me, and ultimately one that will decide where Muhammad will end up. View full news

Big fan of Chendall Weaver's game. Provides a nice spark while remaining in control and not becoming a fouling machine.

Yes, younger brother. Texas had interest last spring, though I bet we see a prioritization of the DFW LBs.

Beal-Goines tells me Coach Joseph is likely to return to AZ later this cycle to continue his evaluation. Elite speed.

Arizona DB Tacario Davis has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. I mentioned the idea of Will Johnson earlier today, however I am of the belief Davis would be a much more realistic target here. Texas is not in desperation mode right now for a portal DB, in fact, I view the pursuit of Jabbar Muhammad as a luxury the Longhorns are hoping to land more so than an all out approach as we have seen at other positions. But to the point, the 6-foot-4 Davis led the PAC-12 in pass breakups this season with 15. There is optimal length and tremendous height here combined with superb production from a year ago. Oklahoma has notable interest right now and I would consider them a school to keep a close eye on. One thing to note is Terry Joseph was in Arizona on the recruiting trail as recently as Tuesday afternoon.

Really talented prospect. Also teammates with recent Texas offer Ryan Fodje, who Kyle Flood offered this weekend.

Texas and OU were not factored into either conference's ranking. Big 12 average time between snaps was faster than the average SEC teams'. The number is where the average Big 12 team would have ranked in the country for time between snap, so 57th in the country and 73rd for the average of SEC teams.
