2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

This is  2013, I think

He was at Lamar, left them for FT Bend Marshall, then left them and went back to Lamar (I think)

As senior (Hills team), he rushed for over 1,400 yards w/ 18 TDs,  Passed for ~600 yards, 6 TDs.

im thinking when i get back to texas in july coming high school football season im gonna make it a mission to travel to every high school football game and tailgate party
Gilmer games? 

Shouldn't be too hard, they got like 8 home games next season. ha

 
Nah, I think Heards redshirt was planned from the start.

I think after seeing Swoopes in two bowl games and a complete season – WE ALL know how good he can be. It wasn't all OL, either. Swoopes waved hello at holes you could have driven a house through. Swoopes' decisions, turnovers, and not being a running option cost us time and again. That's not on the OL.

As far as I'm concerned, we have Heard and two frosh (Merrick and Locksley) to play QB. Swoopes doesn't play unless all three of the others have broken legs.
I don't like to criticize current UT players. That said, I would like for a different player to startat QB for UT next season. Someone who can lead my beloved alma mater to victory. Victory...over all

the others...that's all I want.

I hope they take Daingerfield off the schedule. DF will go down to class AA div II next time UIL does their thing. They could even drop to Class A.

Obama's war on coal is shutting down the major taxpayer and employer there. Seventh grade team had 13 members last year.

 
I can't figure out the twitter re-posting here. But this is interesting :)

Getting "Embed" from a tweet produces a long string of code.

About 90% to the end of it will be a long string of digits following a forward slash.

You can see part of that string in your post.. but there are more that your post did not show, but only because the HS program did not show them all, but you could see them in the code before you pasted that link.

Take that string of digits only... these are the number ... 560971508659802113

Click on the blue button in the menu above...  the circle with the "t" in it... that is to the left of the square with a "t" in it.

You'll get an address window in a pop-up small window.

Paste those digits in that window.

Click OK. I'm going to do that right here... following this sentence.

What you'll see before you post looks like this   (bracket) tweet='560971508659802113' (bracket)

The tweet will not appear until you POST and it goes live. You just have to trust it will show up.

If this has already been posted… apologies.

 
This well written article… Texas Legacy Recruits Look to Follow in Father's Footsteps… by Taylor Gaspar on Johnnie Johnson’s boys… Kirk (2015 RB Recruit) and Colin (2016 WR Recruit)… is a fantastic read, IMO… and worthy of your time.
 
To me… it goes to the heart of why the future of Longhorn Football is in great hands with Charlie Strong.
 
It also gives insight why Charlie Strong is able to produce a top 2015 recruiting class… despite the team’s performance on the field in 2014.
 
Here’s just a little of what Texas Legend Johnnie Johnson has to say about Charlie Strong’s approach.
 
"The values that Charlie Strong teaches are the same values that we as parents strive to teach in our household," Johnnie said. "They are the exact same ones that the Johnsons have in our household. It gives me comfort to know my boys have chosen a program where they know they’re walking into those core values ... to know that my boys are in good hands.
 
"Charlie is preparing young men for life and that’s the most important thing to me as a parent. I played pro football for 10 years, and it was some of the best years of my life. But when I was done playing I was in my early 30s and still had my life ahead of me. If there’s anything I can teach my boys it’s to be humble and confident and make sure they always practice those core values."
 
Johnnie goes on to share his thoughts watching his boys grow up. Considering the source… his thoughts have me REALLY excited to watch them play.  Texas has got them some great recruits here, IMO.
 
"When both were in Pop Warner I knew they would have a future," Johnnie said. "I'm not just saying this as their dad, I'm saying it as someone who has witnessed and played against some of the world's greatest athletes and at one time was one of the world's best athletes. I feel blessed watching them grow up."
 
Enjoy…
 
Hook ‘em

Muchas gracias mi amigo

 
Ketchum is great athlete, and I'm sure Bedford could find some way to use him. But I followed him very closely last year, and if anyone is thinking he could cure our QB problems, ....I don't think so. Great runner but can't pass (consistently...i.e. not consistent enough to be a college QB)

 
OK, here she is after raking my yard today (do not tell her i let you see these)

This definitely requires a citation!

 
Lot of talk of Boyd flipping to Ag already. Drives me crazy. 

Relax. The Boyds want to play together. That's why they committed to the same school. Doubt that changes until four years from September.

Aggy gonna be aggy. Let's face it. Most of the hope they ever have is what they make up out of thin air.
