2018 Recruiting - Football

For a coach that never won anything significant, aggys sure do have a lot of fond memories.

I have one fond memory of Akers and that was the Auburn game when Jerry Gray broke Bo Jackson's shoulder.

I have one fond memory of David McWilliams that was when Texas beat Oklahoma to end that losing streak.

I have one fond memory of John Mackovic, that was beating Nebraska for the first Big 12 title.

When it comes to Jackie Sherrill, they have made a mountain out of a mole hill.
 
FWIW, Miami, who some (not me) think is a threat to steal Coburn from us, is getting CBs for DT Jamarcus Chatman.
 
Today starts a quiet period in recruiting, which means prospects can be on campus but coaches come off the road and can't have in-person contact off campus.

Tomorrow starts the dead period before signing day, which means no in-person contact.
 
This is Gary-Johnson-esque

Andrew Parker changed his Twitter handle from "THEREALANDREWPARKER" to "I Smash QBs and RBs"

I just don't think there is enough appreciation and excitement about this particular recruit/commit. An extremely talented back. Only regret is not being able to pair Jaylen Preston (whom I view as a real star with NFL likelihood) as a receiving compliment. (Still excited about Joshua Moore, though)
Anyway, Ingram is the truth. Good times....
 
I don’t get the anger AT recruits minus a situation like Perriloux (sp?) and Bennett way back when. Now that was horse shite to the infinite degree. What these guys are doing is nothing in comparison. Plus they don’t owe us anything and they’re 18 years old. Let’s some of us chill
 
Piggy seems to be conceding Parker to us

“I chose UT because I wanted to finish the legacy that my family started to build there,” he said. “When choosing which school to attend it was hard and stressful at first but when I started to slow things down and look at the important factors it became a lot easier.

“My mother graduated from UT, my oldest brother that passed away was a die-hard UT fan and he always had dreams of playing for The University of Texas.”

“When I took my [official visit] to Texas, I just knew that was the place to be simply because I felt more comfortable there,” he said. “Not just because of the coaches but because of the university itself and the players that I will be with for the next three-to-four years. They made me feel at home, as if I was already on the team and I didn’t get that anywhere else.”

“Texas has always stayed on my radar - even when I was committed to Nebraska they stayed in contact with me and my parents,” he said. “The day that I de-committed, that very next day Coach Mehringer was at my football practice, and that meant a lot.”

Of course, another person that’s at every football practice of his - his brother

Jordan Moore
- had long been committed to Texas A&M and signed with the Aggies in December. Despite the obvious speculation that the Aggies would always be in play for Joshua because of that, the two now have a unique sibling rivalry to connect them.


“It’ll be interesting to see,” he said. “My brother is going to A&M and I’m going to Texas. Hopefully we can bring back the greatest rivalry in college football and play against each other. I love that guy; that’s my brother for life.”

One of the things that has been a legitimate factor in Moore’s recruitment has been his desire to run track in college as well. Moore said that after meeting with the Longhorns track coaches and speaking with wide receiver John Burt, who has run a variety of events for the Texas track team during his career, he felt encouraged that was a situation he could succeed in as well while at Texas.

The 2018 class that the Longhorns have assembled has been one of the biggest stories in recruiting, with so much of the top talent in the state choosing to come together for what’s been branded as a revolution. After growing up and competing with many of those prospects over the years, joining up with the ones headed to Texas is a welcome bonus.

“It feels great, man,” he said. “I’ve known a lot of these guys for almost half my life. I’m excited to join them and bring this 'Natty' back to Texas.”
 
Not sure if I want to root for it... but notice A&M has signed one of the top 15 and is considered a favorite for the other three, including one who is verbally committed. Would it be a bad or a good thing to keep every one of the top 15 in state?

After reading that, I see this kid as having a lot of maturity and perspective for his age, and not to mention how well he articulates his points. Can tell he’s bright. Brains and athleticism are a potent mix.

Also, big props to the coaching staff. They crushed it. Starting to see the reason for the recruiting success this year.
 
Very nice! Can’t wait until the other pieces to fall into place. Any more announcements prior to NSD?
