In this episode, Justin, Bobby, and Gerry discuss…
- Justin, Bobby, and Gerry start by going position-by-position on the 2024 targets that took official visits over the weekend in Austin. At wide receiver, the talk surrounds four prospects – Ryan Wingo, Terry Bussey, Parker Livingstone, and UT pledge Freddie Dubose Jr. Livingstone is set to announce on July 1st and that recruitment is trending Texas. Bussey and Wingo remain later decisions. At tight end, the talk is around Houston (Texas) Langham Creek three-star Jordan Washington who is set to announce on July 4th, with Texas looking good there as well.
- Justin, Bobby, and Gerry hit on the offensive line next after Humble Atascocita’s Nate Kibble committed to Texas on Sunday. Makai Saina, Daniel Cruz, Daniel Calhoun, and others remain in the mix, with UT trending well for Cruz, and USC out front for Saina. Calhoun is looking hard at in-state power Georgia for his services.
- Justin, Bobby and Gerry jump into the EDGE spot in 2024. It begins with Colin Simmons and Zina Umeozulu, both looking strong for Texas in late June. Out of state prospects Jordan Ross, Danny Okoye, and Deshawn Warner are in the mix. UT did really well with Okoye during his OV two weekends ago in Austin, and he just hit LSU and Tennessee. Ross might stick closer to home, and Warner might not be a take on July 1st, his announcement day.

- Justin, Bobby, and Gerry move to the defense line, discussing Alex January, Jayden Jackson, Terrance Hibbler, Dominick McKinley, and more. Texas looks great for January, really showed the Jacksons a great time in Austin, Hibbler is likely sticking to his Mississippi State commitment for now, and the Horns have a legit shot at McKinley, the On3 five-star.
- The guys wrap up the show on defensive back, with Kobe Black, Corian Gipson, Jordon Johnson-Rubell, Selman Bridges, and the committed Santana Wilson. With Black, it appear to be Texas versus the Field after a strong OV, Gipson celebrated his birthday on Sunday in Austin and is trending nicely, along with Johnson-Rubell, who grew up with Gipson and is friends with Black. Lastly, Bridges was the last to arrive and last to leave on Sunday after playing with Lake Belton at the State 7v7 tournament on Friday.
