2023 Recruiting - Football

Yes. Marvin Zindler was a native Texan. He was born in Texas, lived in Texas, and died in Texas. His family owned a men's suit store in Houston. Marvin served briefly in the Marines during WWII. People loved, or hated, his bombastic style. Like Muhammad Ali, Gorgeous George, etc.

Marvin was also an accomplished baton twirler.

As for shutting down the Chicken Ranch -- if you were a student at UT and you needed to visit a house of prostitution in order to "get some", you were clearly doing something wrong.

 

after doing research I don't know what position he plays

 

But, on the topic at hand...

We could use another big DT to go with the giant from New Jersey.

Also, a couple more DBs are needed.

 

Edge - OLB/DE

 

I believe the #1 DT who signed with the ags last year just portaled. No idea if we have interest or not but we should!

 

Supposedly a rumor. Can’t portal until after the season.

 

My Grandad was a reserve HPD officer for years as was Marvin. He said one time on range day Marvin’s revolver had seized up from a lack of care and maintenance.

 

so who is the aggie DT that has supposedly entered the portal?

 

Walter Noelen or some such.

 

Wow - if that rumor is true, that guy is an amazing get for whoever lands him. Talk about large humans.

Tennessee ???

 

With their success this year they will be a player. Bama and Clemson were in his top 5 originally

 

He went in on 11/18.

 

My thoughts as well. He’s from TN and IIRC the thoughts were he was TN bound coming out of high school until the aggy NIL $$& factory kicked into gear. I’d guess he’s going back home.

 

What does that mean? Portal doesn’t open officially until season is over.

 

You're right, just looked it up. This from the NCAA:

players now have to enter the portal within set dates. The first window opens the day after the championship teams are selected, which will be Dec. 5, and closes 45 days later on Jan. 18, 2023. There is also a 15-day spring period from May 1-15."

 

I can see this young man wrecking things up and dominating the middle of the line of scrimmage. He’s kinda big.

 

According to IT, DT Justin Benton, DE/LB Rylan Kennedy and ATH Jelani McDonald are expected to officially visit Texas on December 17th.

Rylan Kennedy, Lake Ridge, Edge

Jelani McDonald, Connally, Athlete

 

Portal doesn't open until Dec. 5th

 

Word on the street is we’re on flip watch for one or two commits flipping to TCU

 

Wait until TCU is mudholed if they make the playoffs.

 

And TCU made our offense look like Pop Warner so not sure what’s worse. Actually I do.

 

That would be a shame. Losing recruits over a ‘hot season’. That said, the last thing any program needs is a recruit who chases after a one season hot team. If they, TCU, are 7-5 next year, will they want to transfer? Build a championship, not ride on some one else’s float.

 

Yep. Well that’s assuming the NiL $ are adequate. Welcome to the new college football meat market.

 

Baylor Bears for reference

 

That's really hard to believe. Hopefully it's not any WR's, we are scary thin there.

 

Well we haven't had a hot season since 2009 ( these kids were like 4-5 years old). For us, 8-4 is actually a hot season.
