2019 Recruiting - Football

Not yet done -- should probably be a 5-star. He perhaps was discriminated against solely because of where he plays

...Any JUCO's or graduate transfers on the horizon for Feb 2019?

The grad transfer season develops later, by its nature. At the recruiting presser, Herman was asked about it and said he had not focused on GTs at all yet.

And so it is now starting to develop. Here is one OL Hand started following -- OL Justin Murphy (6'6,275 coming out of HS in 2014) from UCLA. He is from Belton originally and signed with TTU. But then in the middle of the 2016 season, Murphy took a medical redshirt. He then he transferred to UCLA for 2018. Murphy played in the first four games this season for UCLA, before a knee injury. With UCLA's help, he was granted a 6th season. And now he is transferring again.

Texas 247 says he is definitely on our radar. Somebody else said Murphy has a sister at UT

Justin Murphy, Belton, Offensive Tackle

Nope. According to 247 his rating was actually lower than our average before he signed. Looks like we are still 9th.

While nosing around the site I found the all time Texas commit list with VY as the highest rated recruit ever with a perfect 1.000 recruiting evaluation score. Not sure I've ever seen a perfect score.

Edit: looks like there have been 5 since 2000 with a 1.000 rating with VY being the only offensive player on the list. Others are Jadeveon Clowney, Robert Nkemdiche, Rashan Gary and Ernie Sims.

FWIW, Bru McCoy is #187 on that all time list.

Vince is the only guy I've ever seen that deserved a 6th star. he was head and shoulders better than every 5'star at his all-star game. I've not seen anyone else that has dwarfed his competition like Vince did.

Basically it was like watching Michael Jordan in his prime vs high school kids.
 
The TV guys said Whittington just broke Eric Dickerson's all time 4-A state playoffs rushing record

And he has 6 TDs (and had 3 or 4 called back)

We should consider Ron Weavering him into the Sugar Bowl

 
Just sayin .....

And he is an EE

JWhitt (6'1,198), without any benefit of college training whatsoever, is already larger than Tre Watson (5'11,195). And he is a quick twitch athlete. Letting him get some downs at RB is one way we get both he and Jake on the field together. Plus, he would be a dynamic receiving threat out of the backfield. Put pressure on the D as many ways as you can
We will see what, if anything, Herman says about that today

That would be a reverse Ron Weaver.
