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

I'm Mike Roach and I'm joined as always by Nick Harris.

We're coming to you on an early Thursday morning this week.

We'll talk a little bit more about that in a bit.

But before we get into that, we want to remind you guys to please like, subscribe, review on our iTunes page or anywhere you can find our podcast.

And we also want to point you to the other great shows on the Horns 24-7 network, including the flagship with Taylor Assis and Chip Brown and the Longhorn Blitz with Rob Habers and Jeff Howl.

Before we get into the day, Nick, how's it going?

Going pretty good, can't complain. It's been a pretty strong past week in recruiting news,

at least, for us. So can never complain there. Yeah, a lot of content, a lot of things to work with.

And we'll have some more this weekend as well, it sounds like. Before we get into kind of what the weekend plans are, let's talk about the last week.

We mentioned it last week on the show that you and I would both be out and about.

I was out in Atlanta on Saturday for Pylon 7-on-7 Atlanta and was able to see some out-of-state Texas targets in that,

that competition, including Jacoby Matthews, who I think right now is probably one of the guys

out-of-state Texas has the best shot at the safety from Pontchitoula, Louisiana.

He was playing with fast seven-on-seven, typically plays with the bootleggers.

But talking to him you

know there was a lot of of really strong i would say feedback um when it comes to texas you know

he had a lot of relationships with those guys before they came to texas blake gideon when he was at

old miss was was big in recruiting him um and talked to a couple of the Alabama coaches when they were in Alabama.

So, you know, Texas is all over that one.

Terry Joseph as well, being a New Orleans guy.

And I kind of wrote in the stampede that Texas is making a bigger push in Louisiana than ever before.
