2020 Recruiting - Football

Also reporting Giles is telling him he will likely be in the rotation. I think he is at 335.

 

If it's true that he's 335 that's too much weight. I doubt he weighs that.

 

335 does sound like a lot. Slow down mom

 

I hope he is on a diet plan that the sports nutritionists at UT developed, and not loading up on less than optimal foods and snacks.

He said he may go up or down, but he will not go up and be slower. Still a growing boy, evidently. He will play wherever he can contribute. Still needs technique coaching.

 

The AAS says Collins is at 303. Going from 275 during BBall season to 305 post BBall does not seem so dramatic. For example, Sweat went from senior year at 249 to 299 first year at Texas, which was quite a bit more weight than Collins here. I cant rmbr where the 335 came from, but may have just been a typo

The 6'6 senior, who is graduating June 6 at Memorial Stadium, has increased his weight to 303 pounds after playing basketball at 275 pounds.

"I don’t know where my body’s going to go... It may go down, it may go up as long as I stay fast."

Collins’ mother, Benita... said her son has a voracious appetite. "He is frequently in the kitchen eating, eating and more eating. There are definitely no small meals made in our household."

Under new defensive coordinator Chris Ash, Texas will move from a three- to a four-man defensive front, giving Collins, a strong-side defensive end, more opportunity to play as a true freshman.

"(Giles) said I’m going to be in the rotation." Collins said.​

Part of Mike Roach's piece on Dajon Harrison. The link has video

" ..... The major recruiting services disagreed on their assessment of Harrison. The industry-generated 247Sports Composite ranked Harrison as a three-star prospect and named him the No. 87 wide receiver in the nation and No. 70 overall prospect in Texas. The 247Sports rankings also designated Harrison as a three-star prospect, but he ranked as the No. 132 wide receiver in the nation and No. 112 overall prospect in Texas.

247Sports Midlands region recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks compared Harrison to Nebraska wide receiver JD Spielman and wrote the following evaluation. “Short, compact build that projects best to an inside receiver spot. Limited frame for bulk addition, but built fairly well relative to listed size. Experience at receiver, running back, cornerback, and on special teams. Primarily recruited as a receiver, but also has gotten looks as an athlete or corner. Type of offensive athlete with whom a staff can get creative. Pretty quick off the line and shows impressive lateral mobility in the short area. Capable of stringing together moves to maximize runs and run-after-catch opportunities. Provides consistent big-play ability. Stretches the field in vertical game. Limited defensive experience but encouraging play there. Solid tackler relative to size. Total athletic profile lacks context from measurable standpoint. No verified 40 or shuttle, but owns a promising 100-meter time (11.14). Shows good on-field burst but can improve top-end speed and consistency. Lack of size limits blocking effectiveness at the next level and long-term physical ceiling. Also would present potential red-zone issues in a corner role. Athletic, productive, big-play prospect who projects to Power 5 level.” ​

EJ Holland cant resist reminding us we missed on Waddle

...It just leads me wherever it wants its next meal and I follow"

 

Away from mom's kitchen might be a good start

 

2020s supposed to be on campus by Jun 13

 

If people dont recognize Hudson Card now, they may want to check their vision..

I'll add I am expecting an epic QB dual between he, Thompson, and JJ...though I believe CT will be first up.

 

moving well

Spoiler

Orlando would probably put him at LB and make him drop into coverage

 

The next Henry Melton if Herman wants.

 

So who was this a video of?

 

Vernon Broughton

 

Cannot wait until JQJ learns to throw.

 

The big kid is Broughton

 

This class has a few gems in it.

 

Roach says we have been in contact with Alabama graduate transfer WR Tyrell Shavers who is originally from Lewisville. As a 4-star recruit in 2017, he had a laser-timed 4.38. At Alabama, however, he mostly only played on ST. He will have 2 seasons of eligibility

 

Looks like this is getting legs due to uncertainty surrounding BE.

 

here is some more info on the Bama GT .. 6'6" is great size with that speed.

Could the Texas Longhorns be eyeing another transfer wideout?

 

Shavers to Mississippi State/Mike Leach

 

Like going from elementary school to kindergarten. $EC

 

Going from possible gunner on special teams with guys taking shots at your legs, to playing for a coach that can turn you into a first round pick. Leach did it for a basketball player without 4.3 speed, and a disruptive QB; the kid has to believe he can do more with his talent.

 

Talent should shine anywhere. And if Leach developed Crabtree or the undrafted Welker, I would certainly like to know how so.
