2020 Recruiting - Football

Also shows Okafor. He portalled

Thought he decided to come back, and got out of the portal.

Also shows Okafor. He portalled

He is probably your starter

 

[Joe Fan]

I dont think he had surgery on the knee. Looks like he is getting better fast

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

Excited about his development. He has not been hurt by this health crisis as healing is his top priority.

 

[Joe Fan]

ou GT DL Mark Jackson to TCU

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

Collins is likely to have some impact this year.
And maybe on offense. Watch his TD reception as an offensive end.
Who was that guy Texas lost to Utah?

WATCH: Alfred Collins' senior highlights show impressive skills

Dude is BRUTAL.

This makes it sound like he actually did have the surgery - sorry about that

Interesting his take on turnaround as a comparison between Mullen and Herman.

I'm setting the over/under for Zach Evans stay at TCU at one year.

I think he will be there less than a full academic year. So I'm taking the under.

What do my fellow Hornfans say, over or under a full academic year?

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

So Evans is enrolled or will enroll at TCU?
More shaky starters for Patterson?

I think they will keep him academically eligible through the Fall semester. Spring? I have grave doubts.

 

[SabreHorn]

Did he or has he actually graduated from HS?

 

[zuckercanyon]

This is a great choice for Evans. No one can get in any trouble in Ft Worth.

I dunno... The Kimbell is pretty shady on weekends I hear...

 

[Horns11]

Boykin, Turpin, etc.

Evans picked the right place. Private school too, so no need to worry about partially qualifying. We dodged a bullet with that one. As did UGA.

He won't finish his college eligibility one way or another, but my guess is he's very good for them for at least a season.

Zach Evans = Chris Pryor 2.0

He will come in and expect to be given the starting job and Patterson won't so he will be gone even before the first game. He will disappear and end up at a place like Texas Southern he will play for a year and try to get into the league or join some upstart league. Then he will disappear and turn up 10 to 15 years later working out of some burger truck and be the subject of articles about who Zach Evans used to be.

 

[Joe Fan]

OrangeBloods says Evans contacted us a few weeks ago to see if there was any interest. But apparently our coaches didn't talk to him.

Smart move, no need to poison our own watering hole.

Especially when it comes to QB and CB. Oh, wait ...... over served the SEC Kool-Aid again.

Quotes from Cain --

"They (Texas) usually don't recruit wide receivers out-of-state, but Mike Yurcich would text me and call me every day. He felt I was a sleeper so I guess that's why they went all out ...

" Coach Yurcich explained specifically how he wanted to use me in his offense, so I couldn't complain. Also, I'm not a big fan of recruiting. I was relieved I found the school for me... At Texas, I'll be able to be a back-side receiver or outside receiver where I can win 1-on-1 matchups and force a safety to play over the top because I'm a deep threat. They also plan to move me around, play in the slot, to utilize my route-running." ​

 

[Joe Fan]

We may still have another commit coming soon
Maybe Coffey? There are also rumors of a 2022

 

[Joe Fan]

Speaking of Epps

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

Now for some nasty training. The DB are not your friends. Eliminate them whenever possible. The ball is your best friend.

Joe, thought I read somewhere we are looking for a LB transfer that would be eligible for fall. Any idea on which transfers we are eyeing.
