I still personally think it's A&M. No inside info, just a hunch.

I love how NIL has basically put experts like this almost out of the job as they drive themselves crazy trying to figure out where a recruit goes. They're pretty much getting paid to speculate with zero credibility behind it. They're almost as credible as any random board user due to NIL.


Basically, all he said there is "my gut feeling" no better than any other board user on here.

A Tiger laying in the weeds is dangerous. Very dangerous...

It’s so crazy that every side is saying it’s someone else except Texas. Their mods feel strongly it’s them.

ETA: I know Billy has had his LSU pick but it’s not very confident.

Apparently LSU was on the phone with Jonah and his family for hours the other night

I think when Texas got AM baseball coach that locked it up. Hope I am wrong.

Hearing anything about how involved Jay Johnson is at this point? Seems like a call with both Jay and BK on the line would be strong.

It’s truly a toss up. Ik Texas is making him an offer he can’t refuse. He hasn’t told any staff where he’s heading.

He's not always accurate but in NIL era Fong is probably about as sure as it gets from an "expert" pick I would say.

It was a snowball effect with Fong right behind him

ETA: OP updated

94.5% on 2025 recruits with 274 picks put in.

That's a pretty crazy accurate rate with that many picks. Basically only 1 in 20 predictions he puts in are wrong.

Bingo. About the only difference between these guys and your average poster here is these guys may have a little insight in to where the current $$ bid is for these players. Meaning the may know that Texas has recently offered a specific player X amount. What they don’t know (just like the rest of us) is what some other school may be willing to offer that same player.

So what this tells us is that at this moment in time Texas is favored. Fong is known to change his picks last minute if things change to keep that percentage so high
