Texas will take two tight ends. That’s a certainty.
Thoughts on TE recruiting

A perusal of Big 12 recruiting
If you’re unaware of how Texas has positioned itself for the class of 2018, this is your first day at IT. Welcome!
But what’s going on in the rest of the conference? From following general recruiting my suspicion has been the rest of the conference is recruiting better top to bottom than in years past, but after writing this it seems status quo overall. Some schools are up, some down, but overall it seems to even out versus previous cycles.
Some Opening Randomness
Saturday’s competition included my favorite feature of this event – the 1 on 1s – and they were chippy to say the least. I thought for sure an unlikely player was about to throw down but luckily that didn’t happen.
Day 1 Observations from The Opening
There wasn’t much going on this morning other than QBs, WRs, and TEs working on routes and timing. But, with the talent assembled, and the sunny, yet cool weather, it was still fun to watch.
State 7-on-7 Championship preview
Late June and early July marks the beginning of the contact dead period for college football coaches. In order to fill that void, The Opening puts on their elite event in Oregon. At the same time in the Texas heat, high school 7-on-7 teams from all over the state gather in College Station to try and battle for the Texas State 7-on-7 Championship.
The Opening Finals preview
Texas offers at The Opening number north of 40. That should lead to a fair amount of content, though the relevant targets as we know them are far less than that. Still, it’s always smart to ask anyone participating if they’re hearing from Texas and how much. Every year a player who wasn’t in heavy contact with Texas in the summer emerges with interest in the fall. We’ll attempt to root out any such players.
Breakdown of Potential Class; Thoughts on Each Recruit
Below was my most likely class from last Wednesday. With some recent shake-ups I figured I’d add some depth to it. We had Watkins out and Moore in, so this is a bit of a heat check.
The latest on Joseph Ossai
Texas has a had a handful of uphill recruiting battles this cycle, with one of them being Conroe Oak Ridge’s Joseph Ossai.
The Pool Party recap
One of the best ways to enjoy at hot summer day is to call a few friends over, open up the grill, and hang out by the pool.
Texas football took this notion to heart today as Tom Herman and his staff hosted the Texas Heat Wave pool party on campus in Austin.
California quarterback David Baldwin talks camp visit
From observing 2018 recruiting, in which Tom Herman has targeted Cameron Rising and Tanner McKee, we can tell Herman likes quarterbacks the Golden State has to offer. A third Southern California quarterback made his way to the radar when 2019’s David Baldwin made his way to Austin for camp.
