2021 Recruiting - Football

How did we steal one out of DFW?

 

If we show better than we have, I agree. Right now Sark has the golden touch. Hoping his coaching hires demonstrate they can coach and develop players!!!

 

Funny you should use the word steal. Seems this young man got caught in some kind of legal issue so I hope he can keep his head on straight at UT and better his life!!!

 

RB Cyrus Habibi-Likio to Boise

 

It does sometimes feel like ou owns that area of our state

(just like lsu owns a chunk of East Texas)

 

That's the key. At least I've heard about these guys and what they have accomplished. But as always, the proof is seeing improvement in our guys out on the field.

 

I dont blame the Brockermeyers. Looking at the 2 programs, 1 puts people in the NFL, 1 doesnt. Again hoping that changes with Sark but I dont blame those kids. They have to do whats best for their future and again I think TH probably did something to sour this setup. He probably gave the current brother the preferred walk on to help with the younger more coveted 2 and when they spurned TH he probably exposed himself as the childish POS that he is.

 

The portal is blowing up -- just ate two WVU OLs -- Blaine Scott and Briason Mays, both RS sophomores

 

Some CBs in for Uke to Texas

Wiltfong still thought Stanford led as of last night
But Roach says he heard something good for us this am
He will be at that signing, which is around noon

 

I took them off my virtual Mardis Gras party Evite list

 

Write-up on Ibraheem --

With his tall and long frame, Ibraheem has excellent length for a corner prospect. However, he prefers to sit and squat on the perimeter in off-coverage, where he can use his instincts, awareness, and reaction quickness. He must acquire more reps in press-man coverage, work on his off-hand jam and continue developing his ball skills and wrap-tackling ability. Yet, his size and awareness could allow him to play well as a field corner in a defense with heavy cover-3, cover-4, and cover-6 concepts for its backend.
​

IMO, he was our only true cover corner this class. I think Jamier Johnson will turn out to be more safety or hybrid

 

Is Carrington still on staff? I have not kept myself updated with his saga.

 

As far as I can see....Yes...and that is why I was decrying any potential covert recruiting efforts away from UT on his part...Though these are all just rumor and innuendo. I hope it isn't true. Joe or someone posted a twitter pic of him w Bru McCoys dad, so if he is that bold I'd say he may be already gone and we've just missed the memo perhaps....or he is just cut from a cloth to which I cannot relate....Or I am just misunderstanding something. FWIW...his twitter is still all UT, though nothing recent I can see. And no official announcement that I am aware of since the word he would be staying. He did interview w USC apparently.

 

He posted a pic of he and Bru McCoy's dad last week in LA
I forgot what it said, something subject to multiple interpretations, of course

 

Write-up on David Abiara --

"Big-framed defensive end prospect with requisite height and body space to add significant bulk in a college strength and conditioning program. Experienced at end in a four-man front, but could potentially fit multiple schemes. Possibility to grow into an interior player depending on front. Strong at the point of attack. Shows ability to turn and steer blockers with inside arm. Plays with good arm extension to aid in disengaging ability. Dips and runs the arc fairly well for a larger end. Shows encouraging move set as a pass-rusher. Can improve get-off quickness and body control. Good in pursuit but gears down to change direction. Sometimes plays too high and goes upright at the snap. Bona fide Power 5-caliber defensive line prospect who flashes impressive hand violence and phone booth strength. Projects to the high-major level with potential for a long-term NFL Draft ceiling."
​

He was downgraded from 4-star to 3-star, but I don't know if that was due to on-field or off-field issues
He is still on the ESPN300 - I think we have 10 of them total

 

Is he 3 or 4 star? The graphic show 4 but the text says 3.

 

Look at his frame he reminds me of Ta'Quon Graham, he looks like he can add about 50 lbs of muscle over the next few years and end up an athletic DT.

 

They dropped him to a 3-star literally right before he signed with us

 

CJ Vogel nows says he is liking our chances better with Uke

He is due around noon

 

Any educated guesses on the meaning of Drayton's tweet?

 

I am hoping LJJ related. Although I must say that I am not as wrapped up in it now that we have Blue for 2022.

 

Does he have his own chips? That's awesome. I really like him, hope he has a great career at Texas.

 

Would be nice if Wheaton flipped.

 

Wheaton signed with Alabama. The bidding exceeded ou's account limit

 

May have been just general tweet rather than a secret coded message

 

Ibraheem is the first Oak Cliff product to sign with Texas since ....

Cameron Hampton - Carter (2014)
Jonathan Scott - Carter (2001)​

Hampton redshirted and then transferred.
But Scott won a national championship and had a 6+ year NFL career
