WR- Jake Oliver

 

[OldHippie]

Congratulations and welcome.

 

[mcbrett]

Woo Hoo!

 

[UTExinPDX]

Congrats and welcome Jake!

 

[WestGAHorn]

Looks like cancelling his visits was a good thing for Texas after all.

Congrats Mr. Oliver and welcome!!!

 

[icthorn]

I am not only excited about his commitment and the same time feel very down for aggies. His parents supposedly went to A&M and aggie fans could not figure it out why his parents advice him go to UT? I guess joining SEC and strong ties, does not solve their recruiting problem? Guess not.

To me this is one of our biggest needs. We need another WR that has hands like Shipley. What I've seen is he doesn't drop passes. This is a huge pick up. Let's get Swoopes a board now!

 

[WestGAHorn]

For the record, i've already confirmed that Jake Oliver is NOT the secret recruit that committed Sunday but wanted to hold off on announcing until he's talked to his family!!!

This just makes this pick up even better!!

ummmm I mean...

 

[TxEx84]

As a Dallas Jesuit alum, I approve of this.

 

[I35]

Oh and let me add that he is an incredible downfield blocker. He takes lots of pride pancaking those poor HS DBs.

How big is this commit? To summarize his talent; so far he has 50 offers including all the big time programs. That means half of the Div I school offered him. And this thing is for sure, aggies will not brag about that "Sherman or Sumlin didn't offer"

Super nice way to start with these first 2. Clearly we are only taking the best of the best this year.

 

[TNLonghorn]

Very nice!

Jake's my boy!!!

Seriously, awesome pickup. Welcome aboard, Jake!

I am quite sure aggy over at texags is in complete disarray regarding Oliver's decision... nor do I need to find out! Then again, I would enjoy hearing about it...

 

[H-D Rider]

Oh by the way, this is a HUGE pick-up by Texas and this coaching staff... and I mean huge! Oliver can do a lot of things...

Get him a copy of Wylie's WR training video, no time like the present to start!!!

 

[Jim Bob]

Maybe we can get him to teach some of our other receivers how to block downfield. He seems to have a wrestler's sense of when his opponent is off balance, and a mean streak to take advantage of it.

Welcome to the 40 !

 

[Horns11]

Now THAT'S the kind of kid who should be wearing #4 at WR. I love how he shows more energy on his blocking plays than his catches. I think Wyatt/Harsin are going to love him.

 

[XOVER]

Yea, this a big get. Jake never drops a ball. Hands made of glue. I was hoping he'd come in early. We just solidified our WR corps.

Two Jakes is better than none!
