You won’t find this surprising, but in my opinion it’s been time to offer the 6-foot-7, 280 pound (per his coach) Clear Lake product.
Is it time to offer Frank Fillip?

2019 Bigs to the Rescue? A look at early offensive line options
For the class of 2019 to be considered a success, the offensive and defensive line haul needs to approximate that of 2018 wide receivers and defensive backs in quality.
Program Q&A: 11/7/17
Join the Inside Texas staff as they answer team questions heading into Saturday’s game against Kansas.
Team Notes and more on LB recruits
As promised we’ll discuss team stuff we didn’t quite have lined up for the Scoop.
Then we’ll add a bit of color to the all-of-a-sudden tenuous linebacker recruiting.
My take on maximizing the class
With the de-commitment of Juco tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson, the staff is back to 18 pledges. I won’t lose any sleep over Wood-Anderson, even when he likely ends up at OU, but tight end has been a question mark on the field and in the class. Hold that thought.
Joseph Ossai: Season first, decision second
Conroe Oak Ridge defender Joseph Ossai may have one of the best mental evaluations I’ve seen in some time. We know he prides himself on academics and wants to be an engineer but that’s only part of it, he is also a tireless worker and natural leader who takes football very seriously.
Defensive line, thoughts on current depth, next year, and recruiting
Perhaps with the exception of the wide receivers, the defensive line has played the most consistent football this year of any position group. Because of that, the trepidation of the 2018 recruiting class has been much more muted than that of their cohorts on the offensive line.
I’m not particularly worried about either, but if we’re going to discuss the offensive line we might as well dissect the defensive line.
Offensive Line, thoughts on current depth, next year, and recruiting
Exiting the Spring, Texas had 18 bodies on the offensive line. That’s enough for a three-deep and three red-shirts. 18-20 is typically what I’ve stated needs to the rolling average. Between injuries, transfers, retirement, and the steadfastness of red-shirting Sam Cosmi, the current number is 11.
Jamison selects Texas, absurd DB class gets better
The 2018 class of defensive backs will very likely finish as the highest rated group the school has ever signed. Without researching it too much, it will also likely be the best position group to sign of any that routinely takes three players or more per cycle. For a school that fancies itself as DBU, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Texas-OU Prospect Visitor List + OV, recruiting news
With Herman and the Horns being the home team this year, they get to host a large number of UT targets in Dallas on Saturday.
Here’s the current list, plus additional visitors coming later this month. We’ll add names when they’re known, and have more on each in the Humidor on Friday.
