Just read that we will have natural grass For the 2018 year. 

Not doubting your post but that seems like a quick turnaround. I wonder why and how long has this been discussed. Anyone with details please provide information and background data on what appears to be a quick decision. Thanks.

Personally, I wouldn’t read too much into it. Noah Cain is still the top priority.

Gotta have good back up options in case Cain decides to go elsewhere, it's not like he is committed to us and shut down visits. 

We we should be picky with all commitments, especially at CB. J Carter is a CB, darn good player. Stingley, Steele, and Banks are clearly better (imo) with others in same range. We need to take 2 pure CB again and getting 2/3 of Steele, Stingley or Banks would be great! Plus a great NB(who I consider a CB.) would love catalon at NB, he can't play outside at 5-9 but is quick, can run and hit. He would be a good S also but I don't prefer 5-9 guys in the secondary (other than Nickel) anymore, WR/TE are too big now.

That offer to Massachusetts suddenly doesn’t look so random.

Not rumor... Its being confirmed by many now..

I'm all for natural grass, better for the players and looks great.   Now I do recall the 1.5 million dollar drainage system we put under the last natural grass fields...came in handy for the first home game that year vs Missouri I believe (1996?) with a huge storm.

I still believe natural tuff in '18 is a rumor Now that happening in '19 is another story --TH wants it !

I'm interested to see how Banks does at the Opening against other CB's in Texas Sunday.  4* but the lowest rated of Carter, Young, Beason, and Wolfe.  IT is high on Banks, thinks he'll be pretty high rated when it's all said and done.

Ath Director said rumors of natural turf in 2018 are getting ahead of themselves.  I tried to put link here but with no success.  Reference mailbag for Burnt Ends mailbag to see his tweet.

That's all great and maybe at Stanford that could work but 7v7 is quickly Turing into AAU, maybe it isn't as bad YET. You will have to deal with them soon, don't necessarily mean $$ deal but those guys/"coaches"/trainers  spend enough time and influence players.

Good stuff in the weekend OP from the Brainiacs.  Some key stuff:

Tyler Johnson will visit next weekend after missing Jr. Day.

They think if we can get Demani Richardson on campus well be in a good spot.  Says kid grew up a Texas fan.

Stacy Wilkins will for sure take an OV to Texas and that's the only one he knows as of now.

They still like Whittington to Texas.

Texas is in good position to receive an official visit from Steele. He is close with Jason Washington.

Set up his 4th OV to Florida.  Committing on September 27th.  Fingers crossed we get his last OV.

 

[Slimer]

I've been optimistic on the Steele recruitment but if we don't get an OV then it ain't happening IMO.

Marcel Brooks named LSU and Bama as his final two, I believe.

From a poster on Geaux24/7 known as DD3 24, re Brooks.

To paraphrase, Brooks looks like poison based on this info.
