Texas receives crystal ball prediction for speedy four-star receiver Brenen Thompson

This would be a monster win for Sarkisian and his staff if they can pull it off.

The Longhorns potentially received great news in the recruiting world on Monday.

Texas’ offense has not been as dynamic as many predicted would happen when offensive guru Steve Sarkisian took the head coaching job. While the offensive line has been a reoccurring issue for the most part, one of the main reasons the offense has struggled are the inconsistences from the wide receivers.

While players like Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington have both shown flashes of being studs, they have also both had games where they are practically irrelevant. The duo is clearly the best on the roster up to this point, but they need to produce and catch passes more consistently.

Wide receiver has been one of Sarkisian’s main concerns even dating back to the offseason, and he and his elite staff of recruiters have hit that position hard on the recruiting trail recently.

On Monday, Texas received a crystal ball prediction for one of the fastest receivers in the nation for the 2022 recruiting class, four-star Brenen Thompson. The speedster is ranked the No. 14 overall prospect from the state of Texas and the No. 87 recruit in the country, according to 247Sports composite.

If the Longhorns secure Thompson, they are getting a dynamic playmaker who is a two-sport athlete in football and track and field. He won the Texas 3A 200-meter title (21.27) as a junior, and also earned a silver in the 100-meter (10.40).

Landing Thompson would boost Texas’ 2022 recruiting class, which currently sits at No. 5, to the No. 2 class in the nation. He would also be Texas’ highest rated commitment in the class.

Having him and soon-to-be star Xavier Worthy flying all over the field will make life miserable for opposing defenses.

Wisconsin receives a crystal ball prediction for a four-star in-state offensive lineman

In-state recruiting, as it always does, will define Wisconsin’s class of 2022.

The Badgers already have a commitment from the No. 6, 8 and 10-ranked recruits from Wisconsin. The big names at the top, though? It will be commitments from them that pushes the Badgers’ class towards the top of the conference.

There’s four-star OT Joe Brunner (who Wisconsin has a crystal ball to land), four-star IOL Carson Hinzman (who Wisconsin has a crystal ball to land), four-star DL Isaac Hamm (who Wisconsin has a crystal ball to land) and four-star IOL Billy Schrauth.

While Notre Dame is projected to be a heavy competitor, the Wisconsin football program picked up a crystal ball prediction to land Schrauth yesterday.

Schrauth is 247Sports‘ No. 159 player in the class of 2022, No. 8 interior offensive lineman and No. 3 recruit from the state of Wisconsin.

The Badgers’ class of 2022 is starting to come together with five commitments coming in the last week. That said, the program still has a lot of work to do in their state before we can call the recruiting cycle a success.

Texas Football: Three recent 247Sports crystal ball predictions in favor of the Longhorns

According to 247Sports crystal ball predictions, three 2022 prospects have significant interest in Texas.

Two four-star prospects and one three-star recruit from the 2022 recruiting class reportedly have significant interest in Texas.

Brenen Thompson, Sebastian Cheeks and Jeremy Patton each recently had crystal ball predictions entered in favor of the Longhorns. Thompson is the highest rated of the four prospects and is the No. 11 wide receiver in the 2022 cycle. Cheeks is rated just behind Thompson and is considered the No. 4 inside linebacker from Illinois.

Crystal ball predictions are not a sure-shot of where a player will commit to, but it serves as a strong indicator of the interest between the player and the program.

Take a look at each of their ratings and crystal ball predictions below.

Wisconsin football made the top three for 2022 four-star defensive tackle K.J. Miles, who listed the Badgers alongside Georgia Tech and Texas as his top three teams on Wednesday via his Twitter.

The Jersey City, New Jersey, native is ranked as the No. 31 defensive tackle in the country and No. 4 player in New Jersey by 247Sports. Last week, Wisconsin also received two crystal ball predictions from 247Sports to land Miles. The four-star recruit has starred the last few seasons for St. Peters Prep in New Jersey.

Since Wisconsin is now in Miles’ top three and has two crystal ball predictions, it looks like the Badgers are leading the way in landing the 2022 defensive tackle.

Wisconsin receives a crystal ball prediction for 2022 four-star in-state DE

Wisconsin picked up a 247Sports crystal ball prediction for 2022 four-star DE Isaac Hamm, the No. 4 player from the state of Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Badgers currently have one recruit in their class of 2022—three-star in-state quarterback Myles Burkett.

Positive news in that regard came today, though, as the Badger football program picked up a 247Sports crystal ball prediction for 2022 four-star defensive end Isaac Hamm, 2022’s No. 4 player from the state of Wisconsin.

The Sun Praire, Wisconsin is currently ranked by 247Sports as the No. 167 recruit in the class of 2022, the No. 11 strong-side defensive end and, again, the No. 4 player from the state of Wisconsin.

The new prediction came from Notre Dame Insider Tom Loy, now putting him in agreement with Wisconsin Insider Evan Flood and National Recruiting Analyst Allen Trieu.

Why is the Notre Dame Insider’s pick significant? The Fighting Irish are one of Hamm’s top 4 schools along with the Badgers, the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

After landing a program-best class of 2021, the Badgers appear to be gaining some momentum on the class of 2022 recruiting trail with the cycle yet to heat up.

Texas trending towards 2022 four-star cornerback on 247Sports crystal ball

Issac Thompson, a four-star cornerback out of Saint Louis, has been trending towards Texas on the 247Sports crystal ball over the weekend.

Texas’ 2022 recruiting class got off to a hot start on the offensive side of the ball with five-star and No. 2 overall player Quinn Ewers and four-star wide receiver Phaizon Wilson. Now, cornerbacks coach Jay Valai is seemingly about to land another blue-chip player.

Issac Thompson, a four-star cornerback out of Saint Louis, Missouri, has been trending towards the Longhorns on the 247Sports crystal ball over the weekend. Three people have inserted picks for Texas since Sept. 11 with the confidence level of six. Sean Bock, an Iowa insider, is the most confident with a score of seven.

Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia are the other six Big 12 teams to offer Thompson. Top schools from the rest of the country such as Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Miami have also extended a scholarship to the cornerback.

Thompson has been open about the possibility of committing to Texas on Twitter. After Kevin Lamar Coleman Jr., another St. Louis native, received an offer from the Longhorns, Thompson tweeted out his support with a hook ’em emjoi.

See what Thompson can bring to Texas if he becomes a member of the 2022 recruiting class:
