Jake Kreul Interview
He is the best pash rusher we are recruiting in 2026 class. Dude can get after the QB. Standing up or hand on the ground he will get to the QB. the question is what else can he do. In time can he hold the edge. I think he can. Can he play occasional off ball LB. I donβt know that. He is 6-2.5 230. I think he can get to 245, not sure any bigger. He can bend and run the arc, has a great motor. I love him as a buck in our system.

Who do we have to replace in 2026?
Hopefully 90%+ of the replacements and 100% of the starers will come from 2024&2025 classes and those guys will get some reps this year in games 2-4 and others where the outcome is not in doubt in 4th Q.

Hi
Whatβs DPR? move loved Kreuls film for a while. His BGO is a good, runs the arc very well. Buck to replace Colin.

OTF 4-Star++ DB Set to Announce August 2nd
Oregon has 3 Safeties committed, they might be selling Devon as a CB. I love his as my cover 1 FS but he is very versatile and will probably take reps as a Fr at Star. Letβs get him and end our DB recruiting for 2026. π€π½

We making a big run at Derek cooper?
I wish , great 4. Kreul, u less something has changed very recently, has said he will decide in mid October. I love him as a Buck in our scheme.

We making a big run at Derek cooper?
Yep, got out too early. This talk should have happened next Friday. hopefully Miami loses a few games this year. We gotta get to our potential

TE 2026
We took 2 last year. If we donβt find a quality talent, try to get 2 in 2027. We only have 13 graduating seniors, even 7 more declare early, we need some attrition to take a class of 25. TE isnβt a need. Worst case portal again. Endries is only one that could leave early.

Procedural or ticking time bomb?
I think Aug 1st a a big deadline and after that we will know what is more accepted and whats rejected. Is it just wording or organizational changes in the document to pass or is it just flat out not "NIL.β Then we will have the court challenges and that will take a while. Its clear, so of the recruiting battles we have lost when (if all things equal, Texas wins) the other team has not done a truly acceptable deal. Lets see what happens bc in the past, its not even a slap on the wrist. Cam Newton recorded phone call is the best example.

Jake
He is the best pass rushing Buck we are recruiting in 2026. Henderson is really good and does other things better but as a 85% Collin Simmons replacement, Kreul is awesome. I hope we push more after we play Florida in the swamp. He should be at that game and probably RRR also. edit: didnβt realize OM overtook UF. He is suppose to decide in mid to late October, unless things changes.

BPW???
<1% , and probably a lot less than that
-
Who is left on the big board?
Oregon has 2-3 Safeties committed, hopefully that helps with Benjamin. Much more clear of a projection at Safety than ChanceTheBag. Atkinson will go to December. would be great to get Lott and Rouse. really need to get Matthewβs and end CB recruitment. I would love to get Kruel in October. Not a fan of Carlton that much.

Carlton to Tech π π΅?
We evaluate really well, maybe they are just using our evals on players they know they can out $$$ us.
-
Carlton to Tech π π΅?
Nobody. Thatβs the problem with NCAA, make rules but no cops to enforce. Also, no balls when they do have evidence.
-
Carlton to Tech π π΅?
Kreul is a pure pass rusher Buck, behind Collin for 1 year. Would be ideal. Henderson is a do it all Buck. Would be great. Carlton is a Jack, same as Wesley, good player, times his jump well but isnβt a great pass rusher. BPW is a Jack, might be a 3tech but needs 25-30 lbs. I donβt prefer BPW or Carlton bc both play Jack, we need a Buck for sure. Barnes has some intrigue for sure, seems to be able to do a lot. Can play Buck and might grow into a Jack.

Michigan or osu?

Hearing...
I see what you are saying but to me its not about what HS they are at. K'leveion Chasson (LSU) was a good college player. Sanchez has a ton of talent at osu. I am torn on Chase, if in 2 years he has to move to LB, i like Calvin Thomas and Okpala better. Can Calicut play nickel? Maybe and i can see value there, if he can. Can he stay below 220# and be a boundary Safety? i see value there, if he can. Definitely a huge add on ST. Benjamin i really like at both Safety spots, and can play star. Same with Riley but like him at Star the most. Question is do we need to take 3 this year at Safety/Star? there was just an article on numbers being tight, makes sense if we stay at 85 scholarships and dont have a ton of guys exiting next year. Do we compete with UGA, UM for the larger than avg size $ required for Calicut? Obvi, whatever the staff wants to do but that can be debated both ways. Its not debatable for other targets on π§ like the 5 DTs, Griffin/Atkinson/Rouse, Matthews, Henderson, Kreul IMO.

Hi
seems like things went well with Calvin Thomas LB from Htx. Definitely has some athleticism for LB spot. Plays LB in HS, just needs to add 15-20lbs, listed around 6-3 210# right now.

Kendall Guervil sets commitment date for July 2
does not seem like we will take 4 WRs right now from HS ranks.

Hi
does not seem like Finley is a Horn at this point.

Hi

June 13-15 Weekend Official Visit Thread
Damn, i understand him not coming back to Texas...Texas is out. But not taking a 7 minute(literally) walk to LSU is crazy. Aggies might have given him Bowman money. He might have to play OL and DL for Aggies. Unless its the usual under the table $ Aggies are known for.
