Never have

Sterling is a hooper ... again, against most guys a in class ahead of him ... Fletcher Loyer level player in play IMO

Think there is a reason Texas has the commitment over UF … and you hit on it. It’s the known …. Scheme, QB stable, WR development It will still likely be LSU that makes the real run at Texas IMO

Fletcher Loyer’lite would be ideal by years 3-4

This was when Johnson and Khamenia were seniors, and Sterling a junior... Isaiah Johnson easily the best player on the floor. Like not even close Johnson was a 3* and Nik Khamenia the 5* and McDonald's AA ... I'll say it again, Johnson is going to be a first round pick in 2027 or 2028 IMO Joe Sterling has some Fletcher Loyer in him, if his foot quickness is close enough to Loyer to be able to hold his own defensively. Can flat out shoot it, more comfortable with ball than given credit for.

Really interested to watch it play out. Anything can happen in recruiting, but it feels like Florida has a better shot than LSU right now. We shall see when it ends up because NIL is a great equalizer, but Florida is probably a little more of the threat right now. Texas is in very good spot still. The OV's will be the next key piece, obviously.

Something to shoot for ... Ole Miss improved from 118th in penalties in 2024 to 54th in 2025 ... huge difference for them, and in making the CFP with improved discipline as a team Alabama improved by 2.9 penalties per game from 2024 to 2025. Same. With Texas talent level, if they could make a move toward 65th range in penalties they would he hell on wheels to deal with. Ultra talented and truly improved in terms of discipline contentder

All the talk of just going into the NFL supplemental draft ... serious question Would you draft him? There is no way in the hell I would. Dude bet on his own team

Haven't seen that.

Agree. I do think he will go more mid-round ... they may ding him on arm length in draft lead up - will be interesting to follow

Love it!

On Sales ... what OTF continues to monitor is Sales. June 19-21 OV ... right now it's Miami. That will have to change to Texas for the staff to feel liike they have a legit shot in this recruitment. Likely a big part of Jackson's visit today will be getting to that discussion if the OV date will change from June 5-7 (which he can't attend due to state track meet) to June 19-21

Would take both for sure ... a bonus situation. But it's still low % right now

Texas is certainly trying to fight back

I think it's definitely accurate. Too many 4-5$ million dollar players in this cycle for their not to be a lot of 20'ish teams. There was 1 last year at 20 mill, with a few others north of 15. This year, 20'ish at 20 Prices were up up 30-40% .... glad Texas stepped up ... otherwise no shot

Lane is a more of a 5-tech, slide inside guy on 3rd downs long term ... that's what Texas ideally wants Fakatou to be

Texas feels like if they don't get him it's because he prefers to play DE ... which he will have a hard time being from a frame perspective long team.Ohio State has J.T. T. in his ear about playing DE for the Buckeyes

No question about it

Very difficult schedule, to say the least https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ranking-college-football-toughest-2026-schedules-top-cfp-contenders-after-spring-practices/

More like legit NC level contender Texas will have shot at the other thing mentioned this season because they are going to be better in every area as a team IMO but nothing guaranteed in the tournament
