Wasn’t in College Station over the weekend and is coming to Austin tomorrow. That’s a win. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Rhamondre Stevenson, yes please. If he really is 235#, damn good film .

Was watching him some earlier. Missed that he was offered, but wouldn’t be a bad contingency plan if Cain goes elsewhere.

depending on who we lose at RB (Houston, Porter Toneil - all gone) (Young(not sure if he can hold the ball and coaches trust him, KJ - who knows). we only have Ingram. We need both Stevenson(Jr) and Cain(trFr) along with Ingram(soph).  I want a 235# RB in the 4th Q vs LSU wearing them out. 

If the 3 above all transfer out, we are too thin not to take both. Brown is a redshirt unless injuries likely.

I can see your three tapping out and leaving. Young will likely stay. Johnson has already said he will not play football next year.

We need two backs in this class, IMO. I've been told that Sanders is no longer an option. Cain is getting a full court press from Gawga so Stevenson would make sense. I could see us swooping in on someone like, uhummm, Barlow from Newton, late in the process.

Hopefully some of the coaches will be in Arlington at 3pm on Dec 20th for the 3AII title game.

Seems like the coaches are staying away from Newton. 

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Sounds like ou is about to make a big push for WR Demaryion Houston.      

 

[okiehorn]

@Sirhornsalot all my okielite buddies are raving about Barlow and seem to think he is a must get for them. Must be a solid player. Gundy is good at finding the diamonds in the rough

Disappointed about Sanders. 

If Ingram and Young are the only 2 back, we need 4 RBs ready to go. Young, has serious issues with ball security but I do like his power. 

Brown. Cain. I would hope Stevenson Bc he is day 1 ready and 235#. Then we could sit Brown. 

Our 3 primary carriers would be Ingram, Stevenson and Cain, Soph, Jr, True Fr.

With good reason. Versatile back, very good hands, can play with power or wiggle.

Last I checked he was committed to TCU. So Gundy will have to whip out the 40-yr-old man to get him.

One of the sites that covers UT recruiting said they asked Sanders how many times he'd been to Bama. "Too many to count to be honest."

That was all you need to know.

Whatever back(s) we get, they need to be able to catch the football as part of their game.

Yeah, they lost a WR commit a few days ago. He might flip, anything's possible. But IMO OU is making their push a little late in the game for a kid in their own back yard.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Seems like the coaches are staying away from Newton. 

Well, when things began, there were two primary targets in Newton. One was Tazmuziah (sp?) Brown, a WR. However, he apparently was kicked off the team or couldn't keep his grades up and thus was no longer on the team. I have heard there's more to the story but its just speculation and not worth sharing.

IDK if there are any issues with Barlow. If there are, I haven't heard about it.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

This could affect Bru McCoy's decision. Tee Martin was his primary recruiter at USC.

I wouldn't put DB as #2, imo.  Texas had a great haul last year and followed it up with a very solid class of Marques Caldwell, Kenyatta Watson, Tyler Owens, and. Chris Adimora.  Not to mention Peyton Powell could be in the mix if his ceiling is higher on that side of the ball.  

Johnson, Sheppard, and Hoofkin (hipefully) is a decent grab for the Oline to go along with last years crop of Angliau, Gharmai, Moore, Jones. I think you grab one more JUCO or grad transfer Olineman and you have a solid core.

If McCoy and Cain want in you take them.  The only other position of immediate need is LB.  The Horns have a solid base with Gbenda, Floyd, and Tillman, but they need someone like Caleb Johnson who can contend for immediate playing time next year. Of course these are just my opinions.

10 DBSreturning plus 4 commits total of 14. Texas plays 5 DBS not even three deep. 8 LBS returning plus three commits

three deep plus two. Remember I said bodies not talent. As for OL 11 returning tw0 commits for 13 not three deep need 17 OL IMO.
