  1. Thank you! It’s all on when they can set up their live announcements
  2. Potentially, I do think so They also lost a top target recently (in June) - Emmanuel Choice to OU
  3. The IF … yes. ill say this … I’m watching A&M with Lockett more and more
  4. Chris Jackson has been in contact with Tanook Hines more than once. Also, Holmon Wiggins is talking to Hines. OTF is on potential offer watch by the Aggies here.
  5. Steve Sarkisian has spoken with Kelshaun and his mom more than once since July 4.
  6. Look for announcement dates to change Due to Beryl and the affects on the Houston area expected Monday, OTF has been informed that three announcements scheduled for Monday have been pushed back. Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock The OTF 4-star will announce out of Texas A&M and Texas July 10. Time TBD Nicholas Townsend and Tanook Hines The Delaney High 4-stars are likely to announce July 11. Time TBD Townsend has Texas, Texas A&M, USC and Alabama as his finalists. Hines has USC, Notre Dame and Texas as his finalists.
  7. Adding … Sarkisian has spoke with Kelshaun and his mom more than once this week Same with Mike Elko
  8. For me, once a prospect picks a school in his mind … assuming he’s a highly ranked prospect … he then better try to maximize his NIL headed into an announcement People would be crazy not to So I think guys are picking a school in their mind plenty of times … then leveraging 2-3 schools headed into an announcement That’s what happens when you bring agents into high school recruiting in the Wild West
  9. Im betting its a cat 2+ or 3- at landfall
  10. Agree 100% ... if Beryl quickly builds in the gulf depending on where off the Yucatan ... she will likely be a 2+ on arrival
  11. Appreciate the opinion.
  12. Dakorien Moore was one. All the others have committed to Texas publicly, or are still left with announcements to make.
  13. When I use that term ... it's not just about trying to flip guys. It's about the entire process, as I have said many times. It's not jumping on a "B list of recruits", and sticking on your top targets - that could be guys that their process goes longer than ideally expected by the staffs, senior evaluations and not settling, flipping guys you lost out on initially. The 2024 cycle included these senior season additions to the class: Brandon Baker Kobe Black Aaron Butler - senior offer Xavier Filsame - senior offer, flip from Florida Wardell Mack - flip from Florida Tyanthony Smith - flip from A&M after coaching change That's not just trying to flip guys. It's all of it.
  14. Been a rough few days for sure. See how the Texas staff responds.
  15. Three remain ... see how the staff closes them out.
  16. You referenced three guys ... here are guys Mack beat OU on (players OU wanted) while losing the in the Cotton Bowl a few years in a row... Justin Blalock Selvin Young Aaron Harris Tarell Brown David Thomas Rod Wright Frank Okam Cedrick Dockery Tim Crowder Larry Dibbles Rodderick Muckelroy Garnet Smith Robert Timmons Edorian McCullough + 20 more Mack won the vast majority of battles in Texas during that time.
  17. 100% correct Mack lost the games against OU, but won the majority of in state recruiting battles. And it miffed the OU staff at the time
  18. If I was this high profile of a recruit … I wouldn’t tell any school if I was or was not coming.
  19. For me, the second you start calling schools and telling them you aren’t coming - the word leaks quickly
  20. I’ll say this … Dakorien didn’t throw out July 4 announcement less than 24 hours ago without knowing where he’s going The kids and families feel the pressure in the closing few hours … always have that last conversation to be 100% sure … And if the last couple of schools that it came down to are really good at their job, always try to leave a hint of indecision
  21. Should be on Moore’s instagram live … subject to change
  22. Unless there is a change of plan in the next couple of hours … OTF does not believe Dakorien will call the four schools and let them know who’s out prior to announcing
