He's basically dead to me but the one thing I'll pay attention to him about is anything saying he's NOT going to SC. Tejas is on my list of dislike now too becuz of NaNa but I'd be ok if Jake Smith disappeared to Austin and stayed out of SC/Stanford/OSU

That said, EJ Holland CB'd him to UT.

That burst is incredible. I hope he reconsiders his decision.

Hopefully Texas implodes and we maintain contact. But I'd rather him be at Texas than USC

Tied with "Jurkovec is the perfect ND recruit" as the truest statement in recent ND recruiting.

Good news is...

There's a second one coming in '22, offer now.

Finally got out to see ND Prep last night and Jake Smith had 5 first half TD's including a slick one handed, back shoulder grab. 24 TD's through 6 games and he doesn't get many touches. I was told in the two games prior he had 5 TD's on just 13 touches. His team is blowing out everyone so that's part of the problem.

Talked to a guy close to the program and he said word is Smith isn't a lock any longer to UT. I really hope ND didn't stop recruiting him. All things considered, he's the best HS football player I've ever seen. He won't catch DJ Foster's 59 TD's in a season but he's more dynamic per touch. Christian Kirk was a beast but Smith matched his best season last year on far less carries/targets.

Not yet confirmed, but it's been thrown out there that hes looking to transfer. And that was before the OU game. Could just be a rumor though.

He really hasn't been doing much for UT. I'd love if ND could kick the tires on a transfer though...

moved into a starting role without ever really catching fire - season stats so far - 19 receptions for 239 yards and 3 TD's

I havent looked at the numbers but even with the injuries and 3 years left he probably has more receptions than any WR on our roster. Lets get him.

15 G ... 48 rec ... 568 yds ... 9 TD's

Going to SC or ASU. My guess, SC so he can team up with his home boy, Slovis.
