Just read that Fong thinks Cain goes to Penn St. 

Per Fong 

One source believes Penn State is the one to beat for Top247 running back Noah Cain.

The Nittany Lions will get the nation’s No. 6 running back in Happy Valley again the weekend of Nov. 10 for his official.

Some have said Stripling's senior film has been kind of meh

It appears several programs have cooled on him. Is not having a good senior year. I wonder if he is playing hurt or maybe just peaked too soon?. (hit his ceiling as a player)

Wasnt that kind of the same assessment for JP Urquidez?  I dont mean that in a bad way.  I remember reading he was very athletic and could move coming out of Cove, but had problems keeping weight on. Some kids just take a while to get the right strength. Sign and stash until ready. Hopefully  JP is finally ready to compete next year.

I think wt wise he was light also but JP didn’t have nearly the feet Hookfin does. I though JP would be a OG more than anything. Short area burst btw the 2 was/is very different. 

Now maybe Hookin can’t put on wt, I can never tell who will and won’t but his feet are his key to playing college ball and potentially on sundays.

TFB saying Coker is no longer visiting this weekend.

If Texas is still after WRS and RBS0 Ihope for alot of attrition so spaces will be available for more needed positions IMO

there are more need for OL DBS and LB.

I wonder with the development of Hookfin and a few others we backed off?

First thing I thought of

Hoofkin + a JUCO sounds good to me.  Maybe even a grad transfer.  

I think we may look hard at a grad transfer DL.

NCAA has overturned the sanctions against Ole Miss.. The NCAA does not give two shits about this stuff... Let the recruiting begin....

$EC bagmen don't just effect recruiting.

The NCAA should overturn SMUs death penalty from 35 years ago, that was total BS!

SMU cheated, got caught and kept cheating while thumbing their noses at authority so the NCAA had no other recourse. However, the death penalty not only killed SMU but a conference (the SWC) too. I doubt the NCAA will ever imposed it again since it had so many ramifications to it.

Yes, the SMU 30 for 30 was well done and showed all of the cheating.  NCAA is too chicken to ever impose the death penalty again, agree with you.

Makes me want to go watch it right now. That was one of my favorites of the entire series.

Isaiah Hookfin was offered this evening after his visit today. He’s been blowing up lately, but Texas will be in the thick of things.

Marcus Banks made a surprise visit to Texas today.

You two bring up a point that will forever be debated without a true best answer.

SMU needed to be punished beyond the norm because of the leadership not adhering to NCAA penalties/sanctions. And with all of the widespread cheating taking place at the time, I think a statement had to be made. Like firing a shot in a room full of talkers. It just couldn't go on.

At the same time, what the NCAA did to SMU killed that program. They are on firm ground today and who's to say that a private school should be any better? So I think the death penalty was deserved, but the NCAA went too far. Stop the program for one year, perhaps park a NCAA oversight mission on them for five years, some other creative things could have been done instead.

The irony is, the SMU Death Penalty was also more or less the end of NCAA oversight. Never again would they pounce so hard or use such firm handling of member school issues. Today's SEC makes SMU look primitive.
