2022 Recruiting - Football

[ATX_Horns]

2 left standing ....

So we still have a shot with Devon Campbell and possibly Earnst Greene, Kendrick Law & Larry Turner-Gooden ?

 

[Badass]

this kid is what Texas culture is going to be ....

 

[bishophorn]

I know it's fun to trash aggy..and I'll get burned for this...
But in my view they are in an excellent position at the ATM (he he he) in terms of progression of program, relevance, stability, recruiting, talent, leadership, fan support. product on field, and potential in the next few years. It turns out moving to the SEC as well as hiring Jimbo were both good moves. Certainly the best position they've been in in my adult lifetime.

Poop away...

Even with this recruiting good year, they still crashed and burned late in the season, and I predict they will continue that proud tradition.

 

[Badass]

updated list of EE ....

 

[old65horn]

From what we are to believe, Venables made a huge personal connection in a matter of days... the money had nothing to do with it

lets look at Kobies track record before we start quoting him, Committed to TTU ,
committed to OU, committed to Texas for 10 days, 10 days later he committed to OU?

The kid does not strike me as a deep thinker.

 

[Chinstrap]

That's a great point about the SEC. But that's been there for years. Maybe the victory over Alabama opened more eyes.

Maybe the chance to play The University of Texas. It makes aggie boys and girls relevant again!

He's skittish. Not something you want to build your program around.

 

[caryhorn]

Yep the aggy signees bought the farm.

Actually, the "farm" bought the aggie signees.

 

[RainH2burntO]

One more item on aggy...a bit surprising...
QB Calzada..who started most of their games after Kings injury and played pretty well....has entered the transfer portal.
Strange world. Guess he knows they will go back to King, but, man...
Watch King get hurt again...

 

[Horn6721]

Really liked that Murphy vid.
He wants to be here. He is skilled. He has confidence.
The look in his face as he gazes around DKR seems to say " This is My home"

No matter what Maliik. We are proud you are a Horn

 

[old65horn]

The top 4 Rivals recruiting are 'Bama, aggy, Georgia and Texas. All SEC schools.

aggy will pass 'Bama as the top rated class when Harris commits as expected.

Never heard him spoke before. Sounds like Vince.

 

[ViperHorn]

Yes, and yet...

4-star LB Kobie McKinzie details why he wound back up at Oklahoma

“Brent Venables, his name speaks for itself. It truly does. He can go anywhere in the country any time, anywhere and ask for a job and he’s going to get hired. I promise you. Talking to him and with my family, you know, what he said to me and how he is, it meant a lot to me. He’s a relational guy. Most programs in the country are more so transactional and he wants to actually build a relationship with you. He’s a great guy, great human being. I want great people around me that love ball just like he does,” McKinzie said of Venables."

Quien sabe?

From what we are to believe, Venables made a huge personal connection in a matter of days... the money had nothing to do with it.

I hope that the kid actually came up with this on his own and believes everything attributed to him. However until he publicly says he will not take the any Nil payment, the phrase "money talks and BS walks" applies.

However money tslks

 

[hornde68]

Does anybody know what the portal does to the academic clock? In the way back, a player had to complete X number hours toward a degree per year. The trick then was to get ‘hurt’ late in spring practice and be forced to withdraw owing to mobility issues. Petition the admin for ‘meaningful progress’ extension. To play in fall while ‘catching up’. Does the portal restart this clock or allow to retake passed courses. My fear is that the portal combined with poorly administered NIL will create a nightmare of team switching.

 

[hornde68]

I love our recruiting class as everyone. My worry, NIL. Nobody in America can compete with oil rich state school alumni with some folks. Texas might lead the pack in available NIL largesse from awlmen. Texas, aTm, Oklahoma, Okie State, LSU have the money, psyche, and football slobber to create a fully ‘pro’-gram. Yet, the good news, if we choose to, we are chairs of that board.

Smells of a script by people who sneak out at night and steal land. That said, I am sure Venables is an o.k. guy, just not a saint. Most successful college coaches have a dark side.

Lane Kiffin spoke up about it. Everyone is worried.

Poop away...

Aggies will go 8-4 (with 2 of those victories over Prairie View and New Mexico St.). It's an Aggie Tradition!

Yes.

This is a strange situation. I think calzada must have been estranged for some reason or is he doesn't like wiegmann coming in. Many A&&m fans are already promoting wiegmann as the starter.
3 of the best QBs in the nation are out of texas this year and a few other good ones.(i know Quinn reclassified). D Brown(Utah) is elite also.

Still on the board

Omari Abor DE

Denver Harris, Jacoby Matthews, LTG – DBs

Harold Perkins, TJ Dudley, - LBs

Devon Campbell, Ernest Greene, OL

Evan Stewart, Kendrick Law WR

 

[George Bailey]

Considering the quality of this OL class, wonder if the Brockermeyers might still be portal candidates?

I wondered this same thing, if they were to win the title this year, come home and help Texas come all the way back, no doubt, that much beef would perform well enough to compete

If A&M gets Harris, perkins campbell and stewart i am going to commit Harry Carey.
I want Campbell but Greene is a taker.
Perkins is a huge need.
Will be watching these commitments.

I don't think either one of them has seen the field this year? I'm not sure with how many O-linemen we are grabbing that there would be room for them both.

 

[Handler]

Reviewing that list and particularly teams that changed coaches since September is really telling - how few recruits and the lack of ranking. Classic example is UVA is #85.

we should all send Manny Diaz Christmas cards, without him sucking so bad we might not have 3 of our OL recruits.

updated list of EE ....

Great list, wish more OL were EE's though.

I think A&M can now dangle an elite modern day wrecking crew in front of Perkins. They are stacked already in this class.

I’d be surprised if the corrupt LA state government doesn’t shunt money to LSU.
