When I post a Hi … that doesn’t come from a prospect or agent. Just to be clear

What I mean is that will have to play out during the season … winding road Recruiting doesn’t stop

Arthur Kaluma will begin workouts with team either Friday, or next week

To this point, there has been one silent commit (or Hi) to Texas not end up at Texas. There have been multiple prospects already commit to Texas publicly that were that. There are a few still out there ... time will tell on how it shakes out, but to this point the prospects that have told Texas they were coming have followed through with the exception of one. If Texas went 8 out of every 10 in that scenario, they would take that. Josiah Sharma was not a Hi. With that said, he told multiple colleges he was going to Texas the day before his decision (even gave quotes to people in the industry for commitment day stories), and changed up the morning of his announcement.

Oregon is on another level in this cycle ... pretty impressive so far. Texas will keep trying to chip away ... They got Wilson on campus in June for UOV under the radar... see if Oregon keeps him shut down. Wilson has had an OV scheduled for FSU in November for the UF game for a while. Will he OV to FSU or Texas in the fall or will the Ducks keep it shut down?

Are the national pre-season rankings out?

Arky will be interesting… still too young IMO, but not as young as Cal’s recent teams have been

No doubt these days it is

Check the tower chief log!!! I'll add this ... OTF believes strongly that Dallas Wilson made an under the radar unofficial visit in June (mid week for a day). This was after the originally scheduled unofficial visit plans fell through. What does that mean for Wilson's announcement tonight? I can't say for certainty.

With his brother at Hawaii ... the family has some west coast eyes https://hawaiiathletics.com/sports/football/roster/chuuky-hines/21277

We shall see what he does ... I made the WR recruiting note post yesterday (down the board) because I was told that Wilson and Texas have been talking more of late. Will Oregon's seemingly unlimited NIL come into play here? We shall see.

No question about it! 8-9 bid league IMO Alabama, Auburn, Florida (like what he's doing), Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Arkansas Which team jumps up like South Carolina did a season ago?

Thoughts on Arkansas roster? https://arkansasrazorbacks.com/sport/m-baskbl/roster/

Jaime Ffrench, Dallas Wilson and either Kelshaun Johnson/Tanook Hines would be a three man class that would be salty.

CBS has Texas No. 20 in way-too-early Top 25 from July 1 https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/rankings/top25/

Just me, but I think Wilson is on another level than Lockett. All three? Nope. IMO ... Texas class of three would be two of the three + one of the in-state guys (Kelshaun, Tanook or McCutcheon).

The Tampa (Fla) Tech 4-star+ WR and Oregon verbal has been in contact with Texas frequently since May. This is one the Horns have been recruiting heavily behind the scenes.
