If we can get Royal and him and back to back years, we will be burner u for sure!  How much does Texas Track play a part in his recruitment?

Royal told Gerry Hamilton and I in Orlando that the only person his age he's met that he wasn't immediately faster with was Dillon Mitchell.

Thats crazy.    Are they going to want to run track in college as well?  Does Texas current track program negatively affect the recruitment here for either player?

I would assume they will at least explore it.

Royal said he met with Coach Flo on one of his Texas visits about the possibility of running at Texas. Texas has a very solid track program. It won't make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things though.

Wasn’t this guy on our basketball team a few years ago?

 

love the player. HOOKEM!

PLEASE, Make this happen, Sark. Royal and him would be nightmare fuel. Two dudes who can go to the tune of sub 10.3 will keep defensive coordinators up at night.

Men’s track won the indoor natty a couple years ago.

Coach Flo coached the Women’s Olympic Gold Medal winner in the 100 meters

@Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel never thought I’d see the day Texas coaches stop by my old HS John Cooper. I’d assume it’s to see the RB who transferred in? Any word on where he stands on the board?

Sorry CJ, but that 10.17 100 meters by Dillon Mitchell was NOT wind-aided!  It was in the same race that Tate Taylor ran the current HS record of 9.92 (subsequently tied Aug 1 2025 by Maurice Gleaton)

 

 

HOOKEM
