From Mike Roach on Mukuba. This sounds better than some of the other reports Ive seen
Count Austin LBJ safety Andrew Mukuba as another prospect Texas is making moves with. There was a perception around Mukuba’s camp that the offer from Texas came way too late, but I’ve been told Texas did a lot over the last two months to change that perception. There was some buzz surrounding Mukuba and Oklahoma shortly after the Sooners offered, but I was told this week that nobody is recruiting him harder than Texas right now. Of all the players on the board, Mukuba might be the one I’m closest to putting in a crystal ball pick for.
For example, here is the Inside Texas version --
About safety, the scuttle around Kennedale’s JD Coffey and Austin LBJ’s Andrew Mukuba is warming up. Coffey and Ash are getting closer, but there’s still work to be done here from both sides. Coffey won’t go to a school unless he feels like a priority, which of course is smart.
Texas still has work to do on Mukuba. He’s being prioritized by head coaches like Lincoln Riley and Dabo Swinney. He’s had extensive contact with each of late. We think there’s a path for Texas to land him, and UT holds some home field advantages, but it won’t be easy.
