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



This is not crazy to me, because all the texas insiders are enormous, next-level homers. If they have any chance at all they will say that they're the favorite, and if they're even a small favorite they will act like it's an absolute done deal with no questions asked.


I'm not saying that it's NOT texas for jonah williams, but if you piece together all the info from the various sides it seems to confirm--or at least strongly support--the idea that the texas insiders are just way overconfident on this one. I believe even wiltfong hinted at this the other day--he said something to the effect "well if you take the insiders at face value then it sounds like it's texas, but I'm not sure anyone actually knows." Even this RPM seems predicated on nothing more than texas's internal confidence.


Interestingly enough, it seems like the one constant no matter who you ask is that LSU is in the top 2 or *maybe* 3. I wouldn't bet my life on it but

No big deal...

Blaine Bradford & Aiden Hall are in the next class.

Oh I’m sure it’ll be Texas he ends up picking no matter what he says. These kids love to confuse people these days.

He will change his prediction in the last hrs or minutes to make sure that percentage stays up

It’s odd, he posted a puke emoji on Lockett’s commitment to Texas then left Texas off of a poll of where fans wanted him to go. Texas was not even in the conversation before Schloss made his move. If he really committed to Texas off of one visit and their baseball coach he’s unfortunately making rough decisions.

I wouldn’t count us out. The narrative has been an A&M/Texas battle for the past few weeks. I like where we sit in this one.

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.
Doesn't he change picks the day of...like, a lot?

Texas just missed out on another big target with that o linemen who committed to Oklahoma correct?

I would imagine they are hunting a win bad and will throw a massive number at Williams.

No he isn't - he's wrong all the time or he just wait until last minute and puts pick in when everyone else knows

Billy Embody and Mike Roach have more intel on Texas kids than Fong

I wouldn't count us out on signing him but I don't he's committing to us on Saturday. I'm not losing any sleep over this one, I've said it before, I think he's one of the most overrated prospects this year. Freak athlete but he really doesn't like contact, I would still take him obviously, but not at an absurd cost.

Williams has hid his intentions better than anyone we have followed in quite a while. I don't think anyone knows where he is going.

Pickett just posted a tiger emoji. Could be about Anding, could be about Williams. Could even be Ffrench.
