Was more referring to what type of talent he has and how we will use him.

Gray was fast but Everhart is borderline elite speed. Fastest junior in Texas last spring and 5th in the nation.

Obviously his speed has made life easier for him and he will need to make some adjustments as he hits the next level but that speed will still tough to deal with for opponents. Gray would do whatever it took to get on the field and may have hurt him in the long run. It appears Everhart is of similar mindset so it will be up to the coaches and hopefully they don't move him around on both sides of the ball as they did with Gray.

He should see early PT.

numerous frog recruits and the teams are having good seasons and while the frogs are only 1/3 of the way through their regular season their recruits are now starting the back half of their senior seasons.

the frogs newest and fastest commit is major everhart (rb/ath) amarillo tascosa 5-1 (2-0) face amarillo high 5-1 (2-0) in this cross town match up. both have a common opponent in midland legacy (aka lee) which beat tascosa by 3 and high by 30.

jaylon guilbeau (cb) and port arthur memorial 4-1(2-0) play galveston ball 2-3 (1-1) in a game between two regions that have produced more than their share of college and nfl talent over the year. memorial has not given up a point in district play.

dj allen (ath) and gladewater 3-2 (2-0) play the alma mater of another tcu frog this time atlanta 0-6 (0-2) which produced tcu football and track star philip epps

mathew golden (wr) and klein cain "travel" to the other side of klein high's parking lot to play klein forest 4-2 (0-2) one other player of note in this game is current frog ahmonte watkins' younger brother jelani watkins who is the leading receiver for forest and a 2023 recruit

joseph adedire (de) and mansfield summit 3-2 (2-0) play richland 4-1 (1-1)

cade mcconnell (ot) and choctaw 4-1 (2-0) face a test this week in bixby 5-0 (2-0) i have no idea how good this district is or how bad the bottom is, but bixby won their first two district games by a combined 152-6

ajay allen (rb/ath) and neville 4-1 open district play against franklin parrish 0-4

ja'dais richard (s) and west monroe 2-2 open district play vs alexandria 6-0 in a rematch of last year's state semi-final that alexandria won

trevon mcalpine (dt) and saraland #17 5-2 (4-0) host gulf shores 4-2 (2-2)

seth martin (ol) and everman 2-3 (1-1) play arlington seguin 2-2 (1-1)

finally, as crypto mentioned earlier, tevita noa (te) is sitting out the season at snow juco to graduate in december and have an extra season with the frogs

was told that everhart is going to run this spring for tascosa so it will be interesting to see if he can lower his times from last year

that does mean he won't be here in the spring and start to make that transition from tascosa's double slot to the frogs offense. will be very interesting to see how he makes the adjustment to running routes and getting jammed off the line

We got to pick it up on the OL front or this is going to have to be a Fast Break offense to move the chains

We are also still targeting Barion Brown and LeVeon Moss.

hoping the frogs are going to go REALLY hard in the transfer market for interior offensive linemen because their potential returning interior line on paper is pretty thin, very inexperienced, and scary in a bad way unless some things change over the next 8+ games

He won’t be here in the spring. He wants to run his track season. Also wants to run track at TCU.

We won’t take a step forward (sorry Gary) until we start getting better on the OL and DL and honestly not sure if there are enough of those guys around after the Clemsons and Bamas and OSUs of the world get the blue chips. I posted somewhere on the other board that a high level coach said USC can’t compete anymore because Helton refused to cheat and that’s the only way you’re gonna get those monsters on the OL and DL. Maybe NIL will give us a fighting chance

look at what has happened to the horns recruiting in the defensive line since bo davis came back to austin and has had the handcuffs taken off of him

regardless of the potential of the recruits remaining the frogs need bodies and as i said above if they can't get it done conventionally they are going to have to crush the transfer season this year in the interiors of both lines

I don’t care if we ever compete with Bama and Clemson but we damn sure need to be more competitive in the Big 12.

This is a program that only took 1 OL in 2020 and now has only 2 currently committed. We will lose 3 from the 2 deep after the season. Given that we have a lot of extremely unproven young OL we should be taking a lot of temps in the Portal. It would also be nice if we could find another OT that’s ready to start

never understood the mindset of their offensive line recruiting when anderson has been the offensive line coach. they took 5 offensive linemen in 2020, but only 1 projected to the interior in barlow though i still have a feeling hayes ends up inside.

they land bolticoff in 2021 and they got a big assist from a former player to make that happen.

put that on top of coker, brown, and williams in 2019 that is 8 offensive linemen in 3 classes which is just not enough when you consider injuries, development time, transfers etc....

what really is frustrating is not only coker the only one of the 8 who has started, but the other 7 aren't getting regular playing time .

they have to hit the transfer market

I don’t think Phillip Epps or James Maness ran 10.38 and 21.2 as juniors in high school. This kid has legitimate track speed. Epps and fellow East Texan Darrel Green were the 2 finalists in the NFL’s fastest man the 1st year they had that tournament.

not trying to be funny, but epps might have been running 100 yards back in his day. can't remember when texas made the switch from yards to meters. fastest running back since roscoe

the speed is legit no doubt and part of me is curious if he can push that time down further. he is in that range where it is similar to being a single digit handicap in golf. really, really tough trimming down anymore from this point.

as impressive as the 10.38 was at the amarillo meet, i really liked the time he ran at the regional meet (10.44) to qualify for state. no room for error, legit timing system, and wind was under 2 mph. think he went sub 10.5 4-5 times

the only concern i have about everhart running track next spring is his cutting weight instead of working to gain weight. not sure if he is one, but have seen a few who would drop 10-12 lbs in track season .

either way he has great potential and i think he is every bit as big a pick up for the frogs if not more so than the kid from spearman for texas

I also don't think we should expect most freshman to make an impact, especially when we're going to have two good junior running backs.
