Great job CJ and Gerry.

Damn that is a good jump. Approaching 25ft

Gerry - do you get a sense that Aggies lead, or do you feel he’s really open?

Great update. We need some big time DL this cycle to build that room up. Especially since UT is now in the SEC.

Very nice list. Gerry - Thanks for all the work you do.

A lot of guys in the list. Just need to make it happen.

Would be great to land him and Pettijohn

It’s a bit concerning he will have 3 LSU visits (Jan, March and April) before his next UT visit.

Thanks for sharing. You get an idea of some of Sark’s recruiting pitch when you listen. He really gets it.

Must have been before we kicked their ass.

https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/compliance/recruiting/calendar/2023-24/2023-24D1Rec_FBSMFBRecruitingCalendar.pdf looks like dead period starts on June 23rd. Thus, the last weekend for official visits is 21st-23rd weekend in June. That explains why I haven’t seen any visits for the weekend of June 28-30.

Every fast wr is not Brennan Thompson. We’ve had a small sample size to conclude this is the path Sark will always take. We also had some deficiencies at hs wr recruiting that created some gaps. K Johnson has some elite traits. B Thompson is fast, but was small and doesn’t have natural hands. Most of his hs clips showed he was a body catcher and not a natural wr. You take a chance on a guy like that because of his speed. However, they don’t always pan out. Not every wr transfer has panned out either.

Gerry, Did UT have other coaches or Sark staying in contact with the DL recruits while we had an opening, and while Baker got settled in. I’m always amazed at how many guys mention calls with Sark and how involved he personally is with recruiting given his time demands. Do you feel like we still have a good opportunity to win some of these DL recruitments? Have we build a strong enough relationship with Sark and other coaches to help us while Baker plays catch-up in the relationship building?

That was my 1st thought when I saw the last name

Agree. Hopefully Sark is reaching out in the meantime.

His value just went way up.

Damn - hard to believe this is a sophomore in the videos. That is a stud. You have him and Zach Rowe in the 2026 class, and it’s still early.

Damn that is a lot of offers.

Watched the video on ESPN this morning and I was in tears. I started to follow UT as a kid in the late 70’s/early 80’s when McMichael played at UT and followed him in the pros.

Freak. You his is the kind of edge we need.

I believe he was referring to next year. Most SEC schools have top line interior DL talent with several future draft picks. You could say that about our 2023 team, but not 2024. Perhaps Bledsoe and some guys come through, but there are a lot of questions. Not just on 24, but 25 since we have not stscked talent in the DL like most all other positions.

That’s a pretty slim looking 320

Does he likely go pro baseball like his brother?
