Don't necessarily disagree. Lockett is very intriguing. Sark's going to have a strong SoCal presence too, however.

Going to break out a little something around lunchtime on that!

Also interested to see if Hitchock's Kelshaun Johnson can consistently hit 10.5-10.6 all spring.

DT Floyd Guidry at Spring High ... bet he gets to the 50'0" number. 2-26 North Crowley OT John Turntine III went about 44'0" as a freshman on varsity track in 2023. I bet he hits that 50'0" mark as a sophomore, or very close.

I dod think he's in the conversation with the top IOL's in Texas. He should be a 4-star prospect when all is said and done. Seeing him in Person January 20 ... broad shoulders, long arms and is well proportioned. Very strong early eval by Kyle Flood ... Texas, Washington, Michigan ... three playoff teams offered him early on. Quite the compliment to what he can develop into.

Always!

Definitely need to have a couple of guys step up (Sydir Mitchell and Jaray Bledsoe) ... but there will be another portal addition after the spring.

And BTW ... track season in Texas officially begins this week with meets scheduled around the state.

Under Armour Camp Orlando is Sunday! Brandon Brown and some other Texas targets are expected to attend.

Not out of the question, but majority of kids I'm hitting up say prior to senior season. Could that change with kids coming back to visit Texas for a March spring practice, sure.

Mentioned in another thread Sunday ... Texas QB coach AJ Milwee will be by Spring (Texas) Grand Oaks in May to evaluate 2026 QB Grant Smith (6-3, 205) Sophomore HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/9875805/651099c6b023ad0554dd2d34

Monday Morning Recruiting Nuggets The Texas Longhorns staff is coming off an extremely busy couple of months on the recruiting front. January brought a Junior Day with around 150 combined prospects in the 2025 and 2026 classes in Austin. The staff wrapped up the month with a number of new offers being made in 2025 and 2026, mostly out of state. OnTexasFootball gets the week going with some Monday morning recruiting nuggets. Recruitments Texas can win Rickey Stewart, RB, Tyler (Texas) Chapel Hill The Longhorns offered the one-time SMU verbal January 20 at Junior Day. Texas can win this one with a big push, and Steve Sarkisian was by Chapel Hill in January. There has been some Texas chatter in the last few days with Baylor also in play. Stewart’s teammate and friend Demetrius Brisbane Jr. has already flipped from SMU to Baylor. Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock (Texas) High The explosive wide receiver is considered a Texas lean headed into the spring. Johnson attended Junior Days at Texas and Texas A&M in January. The offensive scheme, the quarterback room and Texas trajectory are key reasons why every program is chasing the Longhorns. A decision is expected prior to his senior season. Kiotti Armstrong, TE, Jasper (Texas) High The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Southeast Texas tight end is considered a Texas lean headed into the spring. He made Junior Day visits to Texas A&M and Texas in January. He will head back to Texas March 22 with his 7v7 team prior to a tournament in the Austin area. Armstrong currently plans to make June official visits and announce a decision around the start of the 2024 season. OL John Mills planning June OV John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius Mills attended the Texas Junior Day January 20, and is planning to make an official visit in June. He has spoke with Texas OL coach Kyle Flood about visit dates. Mills also attended the Florida Junior Day January 27. Washington (a number of family members were athletes at UW) and Michigan also remain very much in the mix. Nebraska is working to make a push as well. Speaking of June official visits, the last weekend of the month will be the big visit weekend for the Longhorns. Two prospects already expected to make official visits that last weekend are Lewisville (Texas) High’s Michael Fasusi and Dickinson (Texas) High’s IOL Tyler Thomas. One more note Hightower (Texas) High 2025 CB/DB Kade Phillips attended Texas Junior Day January 20 with hopes of an offer. That has yet to happen. Phillips was back on campus at Texas A&M Saturday. This recruitment is looking like a Texas A&M vs. LSU final barring a major change. View full news

Good call. That’s who I was referring to

Aledo for winning time Denton Ryan up there too for years of consistency

Let’s go! Ready for some Coffee & Football + recruiting

No doubt. Texas ideally wanted Horton to be a good enough defender to play him big minutes ... because that ability to shoot the ball can help create optimal floor spacing.

Thank you very much!
