Ryan Newsome - It's UCLA!!

[Mike Garland]

Less than 30 minutes.

Chooses UCLA.  Seemed like he was very very unsure of the choice.  Weird announcement.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

Win some, lose some.

That will be the last live-stream, hat-dance for me. I'll never get those 30 minutes back.

[HornEsch]

Hey, I wanted to come here. However I will say this, the kid handled it with class.

I wish him good luck!!

UCLA. Like I said last night, I don't think we ever recruited the kid hard. I always felt like this was a feeler recruitment in case we missed out on other WRs. 

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Makes me wonder if he was told we no longer had room? Just a thought.

 

[HornSports Staff]

When he took so much time and was visibly conflicted, it seemed apparent that UCLA was his preference. 

The Bruins get a good one.

Like the kid and his ability, but I hope he makes more definitive decisions when he is running his routes.  That was really weird to watch. 

 

[Rotty22]

good luck to him.

His mom looked absolutely upset and i do mean upset..and he looked uncertain...i guess he wanted to get this over wight and still wasnt sure..

 

[Topstarr]

Just didn't happen....scared & nervous I believe, but hope he does well @ UCLA

Sounds like it was one of those situations where the family wanted him to stay close, but in his heart, he wanted to go to UCLA. That love for his family probably created a lot of internal conflict, which is probably what we saw at his announcement. Good for him for following his heart and best of luck to him.

and big props as well to him for doing what he feel its best for him...and i think in his mindset he is going to college not his family...and his family should be proud of him hes getting a free education and everything and he is representing Texas in another way though in the PAC 10

 

[dillohorn]

Good luck to his family on seeing his games.

 

[Growler]

Wish him well. He seems to be a good kid. Handled everything the right way from what I can tell.

From Scout: 

This decision is important for one big reason and that’s the timing. It allows Texas to continue to press forward with Lodge, Burt, Reed and Strickland. The original number to start was 2 -3 WR’s and they are going to take one more WR for sure so this is about numbers. Ryan is a great kid but there is a sigh of relief right now imo that gives Texas some more room with other players on the board.

I would not worry. Pretty explosive, initial tape fantastic. Solid prospect, other ones similar around. The motherload of wide receivers in Texas is coming in 2016.

Charlie has an in-home with Newsome that he did not take prior to Newsome's announcement. I think that says a lot right there.

If by chance we whiff on some other WRs, Charlie, could, conceivably, use the in-home to create a late flip. You can tell by the difficulty Newsome had today that it would not be hard for Charlie to do.

Charlie is a smart guy.

Mama likes Charlie. It seems like most of 'em do. He's a charmer.

 

[shansentx]

Was there room? Maybe, not maybe. We will find out soon. Had enough numbers to take the gamble.
