  1. Jonah is an appropriate name for someone who lives on an island.
  2. Big, versatile athlete with production. And from East Texas, where Texas needs to reassert itself in future classes IMO.
  3. 2025. No other hints. Let’s let the young man have his moment.
  4. Yes, that’s what we’re hearing. Should be later today. From a recruiting who was offered prior to yesterday. Stay tuned.

  6. All depends on the player and position IMO.
  7. That is one thing every Texas player will tell you: Sark is extremely honest about where a player is on the roster, what they need to do and what their path is to get more playing time or become a go-to guy. He doesn’t soft-pedal bad news or critical viewpoints. Better to look them in the face and try to get a better result than just let something linger.
  8. I think he meant he’s back in coaching. Been out since 2020 or so.
  9. Definitely. They’ll come back with another event in early spring IMO.
  10. I think there are some of those who are teetering on that idea, including one very specific player who will go unnamed right now. But Texas is not pushing for it really. Again, what’s the rush if you’re Texas?
  11. CJ and I tackle the topic in this morning’s OTF episode.

    Sunday

    The first Junior Day of the year occurred yesterday. And it was considered “successful”. So how many commitments did the Longhorns grab? Five? Seven? Ten? Nope. Just one emerged. And it really should be no surprise to close onlookers of the program. That’s how Steve Sarkisian plays it. When it comes to recruiting and Sark, patience isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a way of life. Yet there are different ways to look at his patience. Sark and running back coach Tashard Choice took that one commitment not from a player in the upcoming 2025 class, but a running back in 2026, Aledo’s speedy Raycine Guillory Jr. Perhaps that’s how the Horns want to play it. Take a player who wants to sign two years from now, yet a pledge from a 2025 player is just too soon. How does that jibe with Sark’s “patient”recruiting style? Here’s how: The immediate class needs more detailed introspection. While we all know a commitment two years from now doesn’t always stick, one in the ‘25 class is very likely to. So Sark is actually playing the long game yet again. Better to be thorough on the front end, especially on decisions that will impact your program sooner. It’s a simple, proven concept. And Sark’s not changing, not until he has truly surveyed the landscape, met with a multitude of recruits and is ready to pull the trigger. Sark and recruiting, I just never get the feeling that he pushes the panic button. He’s willing to play the long game. Always. ** New scholarship offers for class of 2025: ATH, Michael Terry Jr., San Antonio Alamo Heights RB, Rickey Wright, Tyler Chapel Hill OL Ryan Frodje, Cypress Bridgeland OL, Connor Carry, Prosper DL, Gustavo Cordova, Lake Travis ** We’ll have more from junior day later today.

  15. Never say never. But not right now. Gerry is working for corporate.
  16. Sark’s timetable rarely matches what many might think. He’s willing to wait when others would have already pulled the trigger.
  17. I think this will likely be the last class where Texas has to hit the portal this hard to maintain a certain level. The Horns are literally on the last year of subpar recruiting in the upper class ranks.
  18. Anything is possible. But not currently anticipated on our end.
