A bit surprising imo. Calicut had Texas as his favorite in the spring and I had heard the official visit went very well over the weekend. Georgia remains tough to beat and North Shore remains unfriendly to Texas.

The only thing that should surprise anyone is that Texas continues to waste its time with North Shore.

I want to add this:

I do not think Calicut's commitment is done. I've heard he's leaning that way.

Their mods have remained confident with Calicut for weeks, including after this weekend. They’re not always right, but they do seem to get solid info from the Georgia staff. 

There’s Redding, Hopkins and Chykie Brown on UT’s side of the ledger and then there’s a ton of Zach Evans, Denver Harris and Shad Banks and 20 others like them on the other side of the ledger. Texas should just move on from NS if that doesn’t tell the tale enough to win recruitments from there. There is an entrenched narrative being told in Galena Park that isn’t worth the time to counter. 

Maybe Sanchez winds up being more Chaisson and Redding than all of the busts, but the math says probably not. For Calicut, a tweener going to a place where multiple Texas kids have flamed out lately and a culture swirling around the toilet, he has bust written all over him if he chooses Georgia. 

For the love of god just ban North Shore from campus

What’s the story with North Shore hating on Texas?  Just too deep in Aggie territory or did something happen with specific players back in the day that soured the relationship? @CJ Vogel

I believe UGA is trying to sell him on being a big corner.  At least that’s what their mods are saying.  

We need someone secretly hiding behind a couch to hear what UGA is telling him.

Yes sir, you are correct amundo.

And we continue to ignore Westlake even though we have 2 DEs and a really good safety (not offered) from there.  We stomped a mudhole in that "talented" NS team last year.  Is ANYONE from Westlake even being recruited?  Of course not.

Just the "talented" NS.

 

Scottie...beam me up

 

 

 

I'm sure if Sark thought Westlake had a player who could help us he would be recruiting them.

All these North Shore guys that have gone other places and largely flamed out, all while Corey Redding remains the best player with the best pro career in North Shore history. And he did that at Texas.

Someone needs to change the narrative over there.

Corey Redding is way before anyone's time there so I doubt they'll ever care.

Those poor poor Westlake kids. They’ve just been through so much adversity!

Benjamin is as talented as any DB in this cycle imo. He's a stud.

Where do we stand with him? Been very quiet imo

@Gerry Hamilton @Bobby BurtonIs Simeon leaning our way and we're just giving Johnson this week to make a decision, or will we tell Simeon no without a firm commitment from JJ?

Simeon seems like a high character kid, so I'd hate to miss out on a top 150 kid if we didn't need to, but it sounds like the staff thinks JJ is a game changer.

Guys,

Not sure how to explain this better.

Simeon is not considered just another guy.

He is seen as an elite prospect by Texas. Take public recruiting rankings out of the equation.

It has been indeed. Waiting to see.

Yeah cut Northshore out and just keep the DFW pipeline flowing

Folks say he keeps a lower profile. Makes me like him even more. 

Do we think this will impact Texas’ on-field success as much as missing on Denver Harris or Zach Evans?

Apparently Georgia is recruiting him as CB, while Texas as a Safety is the issue.

Mayopants.

Just leaving that concept here.

Bobby why do we continue to even recruit North Shore?

Because they have talented players. And every player is different.

Exactly right

Everyone needs to chill with emotional responses. The issue Georgia is recruiting him as a CB and Texas is recruiting him as a Safety. This is what happened last year in the recruiting of Kade Phillips. Texas which to recruiting him as CB and signed with Texas. The issue isn’t North Shore.

Nah the issue definitely is north shore and it’s not even an emotional response to say that. It’s actually backed by the proof in the pudding that that school produces bust at an extremely high rate given the amount of talent they put out.

The parallels to the Kade Phillips recruitment from a year ago are hard to ignore.  Seems like one that goes our way come December.

Phillips was a state qualifier in the sprints and about 20 pounds lighter.
