Welcome back to this week's episode of the state of recruiting, your weekly Horned 24-7 recruiting podcast.

I'm Mike Roach, and I'm joined, as always, by Hudson Standish.

And we are back from a week hiatus as I was off on vacation.

And Hudson, the unthinkable happened.

No commitments while I was on vacation.

Yeah, a bit of a rough week while you are out. I'm excited to have you back. I know we got a ton of

DMs asking where the state of recruiting and talking Texas were last week, unfortunately

weren't able to get any substitutions for Mike, so no podcast, which during the season kind of stinks,

but apologies, and we're ready to give two good shows.

Yeah, I think that we'll just jump right in here with a little bit of a recruiting talk,

and then, of course, we'll get to our picks with Guy Frazier in the second half of the show is even though I was in International Waters.

Here's a little teaser for you. I made a move up the rankings on our picks.

So that'll be a fun segment. Let's jump right into the recruiting talk.

I think the biggest stories are kind of the guys who are left on the board.

We've talked about a small group.

One of those guys, Jolani McDonald, out of Wake O'Connell, a guy that we both really like it from an athletic perspective.

I saw him earlier this year in limited action.

The Texas really got kind of engaged with in the last couple of weeks, brought him in for a visit

the Iowa State game. They're kind of pitching him on that big linebacker position, big nickel,

you know, kind of a swifter linebacker. And he's got that type of frame to be able to do that.

Talk to him after the Iowa State game, really enjoyed the visit.

And then earlier this week, decommitted from Oklahoma State.
