Episode Notes: Texas Longhorns LIVE 105 – "Will Texas Finish Top 10 in Recruiting?" Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee (TexasVOCFB) Date/Context: Recent episode focusing on 2027 recruiting class outlook, top transfer additions, and broader program strategy. Overall Summary The hosts discuss Texas' strong but not yet elite 2027 recruiting position (12 commitments, top 25 class), predicting a likely top 7-10 finish. They emphasize building a solid foundation with high-floor players while pursuing elite targets. Key themes include patience in recruiting, the importance of immediate contributors via high school and portal, and adapting strategies like the "Indiana model" (portal emphasis, adjusted practice schedules, health management). They highlight Texas' transfer portal success as a major strength heading into 2026. Optimism is high for both recruiting and on-field performance. Key Segments & Timestamped Notes 00:00 – 01:20: Intro & Playoff Odds Sponsored by FanDuel. Texas at -185 to make playoffs (8th nationally), behind Georgia despite SEC title predictions.Discussion: Tough schedule could lead to 9-3 record missing playoffs (echoing prior year). Miami has favorable schedule. 01:20 – 03:10: Recruiting Overview Texas ahead of schedule with 12 commitments in top 25 (post-Bryson Thrower).Hosts predict final class ranking: Top 7-10 (Bresee leans 5-7; Miller top 10). Fans impatient after big names like Easton Royal/Brock Williams.Strategy: Strong baseline of 3-stars + developmental guys; focus later on premium targets (more volatility). Foundation especially strong among lesser-hyped 3-stars. 03:10 – 07:00: Easton Royal (Elite WR Prospect) Recent LSU visit went well; Texas remains "first love" and gets final official visit.Top choices: Texas, LSU, Florida (canceled Ole Miss).Consensus: Texas holds strong (no flip yet). LSU/Ed Orgeron strong with in-state talent, but Royal wants his own path. Final Texas visit pivotal. Likely stays Longhorn.Impact: Pairs well with near-certain Monshin Sales addition. 07:00 – 10:30: John Meredith (No. 1 CB Prospect) Momentum strongly toward Texas (was A&M lock months ago).Expected commitment by early August. Prototype for Will Muschamp scheme (physical, coverage skills). Immediate contributor, Devin Sanchez-level talent, potential top-10 NFL pick.~80% chance to Texas. A&M pivoted to other CBs. Possible late Miami/SMU visits (NIL angle), but Texas favored. SMU skepticism until they land a similar caliber. 10:30 – 13:00: Jalen Brewster (No. 1 Overall Prospect, DL) Strong Texas Tech lean (family trust, land bought in Lubbock).Visiting LSU/Texas; LSU hard to turn down. Hosts believe he stays with Tech but acknowledge movement. Texas threw hat in ring for elite talent but unlikely to overpay via land buyout. Likely Texas Tech. 13:00 – 15:30: Brian Swanson (OL) & Offensive Line Needs High priority; Texas needs immediate contributors (guard + tackle) due to potential 2026 departures (Goosby, Siano, Robertson, possibly Baker).Swanson trending Texas but SMU challenge. Critical class for Sark era—build through HS, avoid annual portal reliance. Reed Ramsey to Auburn noted. Potential with Ishmael Kamara. 15:30 – 17:40: Monterey (Montre) Jackson (CB) & DB Class Trending Texas; official visit this weekend key. Top 5 includes Texas.With Meredith + young talent (Kobe Black, etc.), DB room set. Trenton Blaylock (Texas/Oklahoma 50/50). Jackson ~90% to Texas. 17:40 – 19:30: Sir Rod Baker (RB) & Backfield Outlook Texas needs big-time RB (post-Brown/Smothers). Battle vs. A&M/Tech.Enhances depth with Derek Cooper, Michael Terry, James Simon, Noah Roberts. Not desperate but worthwhile for dynamism. Price/NIL factor. 19:30 – 22:00: Additional Targets (Jabarius Garora, Junior Tuopo, Neiman Lawrence) Garora (Edge): Texas strong; commitment possibly July 4.Tuopo (S): Texas leader post-visit.Lawrence (2028 QB): Strong Texas lean; potential class leader. Relationship with D'Abel helps. 22:00 – 37:00: Top 5 Transfer Portal Additions Bresee #5: Bo Masco (CB) – Versatile, dynamic, All-Big Ten potential.Miller #5: Rasheem Biles (LB) – Playmaking, versatility (former WR/S).Bresee #4 / Miller #3: Relique Brown (RB) – Ceiling-raiser, explosive, reliable.Miller #4: Bo Masco.Bresee #3 / Miller #2: Cam Coleman (WR) – Dominant X-receiver, game-changer in Sark system. NFL draft debate with Jeremiah Smith.Bresee #2: Rasheem Biles – Replaces Anthony Hill production; havoc creator with Simmons.Bresee #1: Lawrence Seymour (OL) – Stability for O-line average/great.Miller #1: Melvin Siani (OL) – Answers RT/RG questions, protection for Arch Manning.Overall: Texas had one of the best portal classes nationally. 37:00 – End: Adopting the Indiana Model & Closing Sark comments on Indiana (Cignetti): Portal, reduced practice time, health management, easier early schedule.Discussion: Possible schedule tweaks (Notre Dame/others in jeopardy?). Benefits of SEC vs. easier path. Practice ...
