2021 Recruiting - Football

Mukuba is going to get other offers. What would be concerning is if Texas were recruiting players who did not get those other offers.

 

They are teammates, so it might matter
Just above posting shows that we offered him, so not really being ignored.
He does look pretty good

 

Yes...I know ignored was the wrong word....but ...maybe something...

 

Well, Alabama was in first, but they will offer your little brother while he is still in diapers.

 

"Pleased and blessed to be the seven hundred twenty-first offered by Alabama"

 

"Pleased and blessed to be the seven hundred twenty-first offered by Alabama this recruiting cycle"

I fixed it for you.

 

247Sports has him 100% to OU.

Of course the 3 CB from "insiders" predicting this are 2 OU insiders (including RJ Young?) and one from Arky. Makes one wonder about 247Sports' credibility.

 

We offered 4-star 2021 WR Malcolm Johnson Jr from Maryland. Also a track guy
Malcolm Johnson Jr., St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, Wide Receiver

 

Hmmm ... 4.6 in the 40, 39" vertical. 6'1/2" and 182.

Offers from Baylor and 'Bama and others.

 

A few more notes about Ceyair Wright (6'1,175) of Los Angeles Loyola HS who could excel at either side of the ball (we like him at CB, nickel, or safety). He has already taken his SAT (1350), will be in Space Jam 2 with LeBron James (he is playing LeBron's son) and made an appearance in the TV show "2 Broke Girls."

Some quotes -

“I need to get bigger, faster, and stronger. And hone in on my technique and get ready to have my best season to date. I think I could be successful either side of the ball, but I think I'll end up being a corner when it all said and done.”

On Texas - “It’s a great school with a great defense. I’ll be visiting Austin this month.”

“A place that's going to develop me as a person and as a player, that will also put me in a position to be successful in my future." ​

 

Eric Nahlin of IT disagrees

DE Jordon Thomas, Memorial (Port Arthur, TX) - 70%: This one could still have a wild swing or two in it. As of now I like Texas. ​

 

Here is Nahlin/IT about Makuba since his name has come up recently

DB Andrew Mukuba, LBJ (Austin, TX) - 25%: ou offered yesterday. Texas offered Saturday. I do think ou leads but I don't think UT is out of it depending on how hard they pursue. This percentage could jump quite a bit in the coming months but right now there's ground to make up. Hearing from other big programs might persuade him to take his time.​

update -- LSU just offered him too

____________________________________________________________________
And here are the highest % to Texas of the 2021s he mentions --

RB Jonathon Brooks, Hallettsville (Hallettsville, TX) - 80%: We believe he'll be a take for Texas as an RB2 or perhaps athlete.

DE Shemar Turner, DeSoto (DeSoto, TX) - 75%: I believe he likes Texas more than he lets on. An issue will be if he takes his time, then UT will be easier to recruit against as others jump in.

TE Landen King, Atascocita (Humble, TX) - 75%: If the staff pushes they'll get him. Of course they already have Juan Davis committed so may elect to take their time. Tough call because King is good.

DE Jordon Thomas 70%^^^

LB Terrence Cooks, Shadow Creek (Pearland, TX) - 70%: Screams Texas kid and already has a solid bond developing with the staff and commits.

DB Isaiah Nwokobia, Skyline (Dallas, TX) - 70%: I think they can shut Nwokobia down later this spring if they want to. Good player

DE Landon Jackson, Pleasant Grove (Texarkana, TX) - 60%: I think his heart is in Austin but his recruitment could have twist or turn. You have to like Texas getting his last official visit. [my note -- aggy strongly disagrees]

WR Theodore Knox, The Woodlands (The Woodlands, TX) - 60%: The good news on declining status with Earle is it should force the staff to push for Knox, a player they should want regardless. Middle class Reagor.

OL James Brockermeyer, All Saints (Fort Worth, TX) - 55%: I think Texas wins enough this season to land the legacies. I'm not super confident in that prediction. Tom Herman, man.

OL Tommy Brockermeyer, All Saints (Fort Worth, TX) - 55%: Same as above.​

The Inside Scoop - 3/2/20 - Inside Texas

 

In those %s from IT, perhaps the biggest surprise was WR Quay Davis who most people have been saying could recommit to Texas at any time. But Nahlins says -

WR Quay Davis, Skyline (Dallas, TX) - 25%: Even if he publicly committed to Texas today I'd have my doubts that he'd sign with UT. They need to recruit the class like Davis won't be in it. ​

This class' Mookie Cooper?

 

Seemed to be more an issue of timing than favoritism....

 

Mike Roach on 10 2021s who could be fast-risers
Ten in state prospects set to rise this spring

Example -

WR JJ Henry, McKinney North
247Sports Ranking: No. 125 WR, No. 116 in-state
247Sports Composite Ranking: N/A
Henry had an uber-productive junior season at McKinney North and accounted for 1500 total yards and 18 touchdowns. Though he’s a bit undersized (5-10, 155), Henry showed the ability to work as a deep threat or underneath in the slot. As the initial run on slots happens during the early part of the year, Henry is going to be a fast-rising prospect as teams see his skill in spring ball.​

 

Anyone who tweets out a pic of horns down .....

 

Something from Super K on Mukuba --

‘There was a particular play at the Pylon tournament that stood out to me. Mukuba was helping out with a mid range route and a wide receiver came flying up the field deep. Andrew peeled off and even though the deep receiver had a head start, Mukuba changed directions and ate up ground so fast that he beat everyone, including the receiver to the ball (for a PBU).’​

In their opinion, he is someone worth fighting for.

 

Something else on Henderson

TreVeyon Henderson is an elite back. He’s built very similar to Bijan Robinson. A muscular compact 5’10 back with a lot of speed and power. In Henderson’s case, even more speed that Robinson had. You’re talking about a kid who may hit 10.5 100 this spring.

Henderson says he’s definitely going to official to Texas. No date is set yet. He may visit for the spring game but it sounds like Texas is also considering having him visit in May, instead. I believe it’s the weekend of the JMBLYA event. Either way, they’re still working it out but it’s going to happen.

Interestingly, Texas wasn’t actually recruiting Henderson until Boulware was hired. Boulware had been recruiting Henderson at Oklahoma and when he got to Texas, he reached out to Henderson and introduced Tre to coach Drayton.​

Oh...I didn't see that.

 

But I thought I saw a 'Horns Up in his OU offer announcement?

These little cartoons do not mean much either way.

 

According to his teammate, blowu is his dream school.

 

His teammate has a tenuous connection to reality.

 

Exhibit Number 1: McCutchin shows joy of being part of the "Alabama family" ... for a couple of weeks?



Must have been real special, or he learned Alabama did not really need him all that much.

 

I hope no one needs an interpreter for that message.

If you do, there is a great online course in Sabanese

 

Not to be confused, of course, with Sabre-ese...

 

Mukuba (5’11,181) of Austin LBJ will be on campus for spring practice on Mar 24

 

Supposed to be visiting soon

 

If true...that is Austin weird.

 

Has to be if they took him in a tour of Norman.
