  1. OU just made so little NIL effort in hoops. Very difficult job. Guess DePaul had to amp it up in the competitive NIL game.
  2. Love his initial quickness, ability to COD and length. Big ole' feet on him too. Having seen him in person, legit 6-5 and 215'ish. Zina type frame that will take a little longer to develop due to not having a younger brother the level of Neto to help accelerate the process. Top 100 national type for me.
  3. Smith Orogbo junior HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/v/2MTj8Z

  6. To be clear, she was 22-79 in four seasons ... but still a brutal way to go.
  7. The WR's are ridiculous coming in. Could be a great class! Agree on Baker, he needs to get 9-10 OV's from top targets, and win out for 3-4... but it's the most competitive position in the SE Region. NIL recruitments.
  8. Red was 230 two'ish weeks ago ... maybe the scales need to be replaced at UT!
  9. Texas still a No. 8 seed https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2024-march-madness-men-field-predictions

  10. Think those two are the tough matchups for Texas without Rori Harmon. Texas will have to shoot it from perimeter well in those games ...
  11. Have OV's set... RB Jordon Davison WR Marcus Harris EDGE Hayden Lowe LB Matai Tagoa'i Will likely visit ... CB Adonyss Currie - expected to OV DL Josiah Sharma - Texas working to get on campus
  12. Don't think it will affect seeding ... both teams will blow out the round of 64 opponent
  13. Adding EDGE Hayden Lowe to the June 14-16 list
  14. California 4-star EDGE locks in Texas official visit The Texas Longhorns in the Steve Sarkisian era will have a strong recruiting footprint in the state of California. And the 2025 cycle may end up defining that more than any other since Sarkisian has been in Austin. On Monday, 4-star EDGE Hayden Lowe (Westlake Village, Calif./Oaks Christian) told OnTexasFootball that he has a pair of visits to Texas set up, including an official visit in June. Lowe, 6-4 and 240, told OTF that he will be in Austin April 6 for the big visit weekend around Texas spring practice. And that will be the first of two visits. The Oaks Christian standout defender also informed OnTexasFootball that he has an official visit locked the weekend of June 14-16. Texas has been in contact with Lowe for months, and offered February 16 of 2023. Lowe enters the spring with 26 offers. That list includes SEC programs Texas, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Alabama and Oklahoma. The offer list also includes USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Michigan, Notre Dame and Miami (Fla.). The Los Angeles area prospect enters his senior season with 100 tackles, 24 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He posted 29 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two interceptions in eight games in 2023.

  16. Credit to Blake Munroe for bringing this to my attention ...
  17. The brother of a player leaping out of the stands and onto the court was the winner here. lol New level!
  18. 100%. And he's ahead of where Kelvin Banks was as a sophomore. KB made a big, big jump in physicality between junior and senior season
  19. 100% this. It's awesome to be in the battles I do think John Mills has a spot. Same for Jonte Newman. Fasusi, obviously.
  20. LSU has been a national player for all these kids growing up. Kids 16-18 were at the age of influence when that 2019 team won the Natty ... and LSU has a lot of guys drafted. Great game day atmosphere in the SEC ... it has a lot of recruiting juice
  21. 100% on Hunter. His good is Sweet 16/Elite 8 good ... and his bad is really bad. Texas needs the in between consistently the next two weeks.
  22. A dozen Texas targets that will be national and rivalry battles The Texas Longhorns will compete in more national recruiting and regional rivalry battles in the 2025 cycle than ever before. Some of that is Texas continuing to expand the national recruiting footprint, and some of it is the top tier national talent in state at several positions. OnTexasFootball looks at a dozen recruiting battles in the 2025 cycle that will cover both scenarios. Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville (Texas) High The OnTexasFootball 5-star left tackle will be one of the key recruiting battles for Texas in the cycle. Is Fasusi a "must win"? Nope, not with John Turntine III right behind him in the 2026 cycle at the same position. Make no mistake though, Texas wants Fasusi badly. And so does Oklahoma and Texas A&M. And that alone makes for a tremendous recruitment to follow. Texas and Oklahoma is where the decision will likely come from ultimately. They have been the top two for months. The Aggies have ample pressure in the 2025 cycle to win key in-state battles on the offensive line as it's the position in need of the most help in the program. Brandon Brown, DL, Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie The OnTexasFootball 4-star and Texas pledge will make the visit rounds nationally with California Power 7v7 program. That includes a Texas visit March 22 prior to a June official visit (14-16). The Longhorns will have to play keep away against powerful recruiting programs in USC, Tennessee, Florida (multiple family members played at UF), Miami and others. These are the battles one signs up for on the defensive line in SEC land. Dakorien Moore, WR, Duncanville (Texas) High The OnTexasFootball 5-star and LSU pledge will be back in Austin April 20 for the Texas Spring Game. The day that the news hit that Keelon Russell was planning to attend the Spring Game with Jeff Banks making the invitation, it was expected that Moore would also be in Austin. There will be visits and flirting with Ohio State, USC and a couple of others, but make no mistake this is a Texas vs. LSU recruiting throw down. Dorian Brew, CB, Conroe (Texas) High Dorian Brew has all the makings of a true national recruiting battle. His father ran track at LSU, and was an Olympian. His mother is in the Ohio State Hall of Fame (track). He has Texas all in on wanting to keep him home. USC is in it. Texas A&M is working to be truly in the hunt. He was expected to commit to Ohio State January 24 before backing off that date and slowing the process down. All the makings of a big time national recruitment. And Texas fully understands it. Jordon Davison, RB, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei Texas has been in a good position for the SoCal running back for about a year. With that said, this is a national battle with Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon taking mighty swings. Steve Sarkisian and Tashard Choice will have Texas in position to ultimately win, but the spring and June visits will very much be a national recruiting battle. Jaime Ffrench, WR, Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin Texas has won some key and big recruiting battles in Central Florida and at IMG Academy in the last two classes. The 2025 cycle and Jaime Ffrench is something different, however. This is an area, Jacksonville, where Texas hasn't had success to date in the Sunshine State. And Ffrench is a Sunshine State receiver with Ohio State trying to beat out Florida State and Miami, with Texas trying to pull the upset. This is a gird up your loins type recruitment for fan bases locked into Ffrench. Zion Williams, DL, Lufkin (Texas) High A Lufkin High/East Texas recruiting battle for a defensive lineman with SEC size. That means Texas and Texas A&M will swing away at each other. And then there is LSU, having former Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis adding more intrigue. This is a stick the chest out recruitment, without question. And what is the role of Jamarkus McFarland at TCU. He's distantly related to Williams, and was one of the most memorable Texas vs. Oklahoma recruitments of the Mack Brown/Bob Stoops era. Riley Pettijohn and Elijah Barnes, LB's from DFW Riley Pettijohn putting a 10.98 FAT 100 meters on the board at 210'ish pounds amped up his recruitment even more. All the national players will battle it out. Texas vs. USC vs. Ohio State vs. FSU vs. Texas A&M for Pettijohn. Barnes will be Texas vs. Alabama vs. Ohio State vs. LSU vs. Texas A&M vs. FSU. Texas enters the spring in a pretty good position for both. If Texas won both, that would be a serious DFW recruiting flex by Sarkisian and staff. Jonte Newman, Jackson Christian and Tyler Thomas Texas is locked in a trio of offensive line battles that are very key in the region. As mentioned above, Texas A&M has little margin for error in the 2025 cycle on the offensive line. The Aggies need to walk away with two of the three mentioned above. Texas would like to do the same, as of today. Oklahoma has serious interest in in Jonte Newman, and LSU is going to make a run at Tyler Thomas.
