From 247...

“Everything’s going pretty good,” he said of things with Texas. “It’s my home. I talk with the coaches all the time, every day. I feel confident in my decision.”

“I’m going to Texas,” he said. “That’s all I got to say.”

“The defense, I love the defensive line,” he said of the Longhorns. “I love the way they’ve been playing and everything. I love how Coach Bo Davis coaches his D-line and getting everyone in the game.”

“He’s a super funny person,” Robinson said. “Nice to talk to, easy to talk to. He’s like to joke around. But he also takes football seriously. He’s going to tell you what you need to work on.”

“I like Texas by ten points or more (against Oklahoma),” Robinson said.

On the other hand, we have the best d-line in the nation so something must be working.

Are we recruiting different traits that don't often get kids rated highly? 

Is Coach Bo just that good at development that he takes our 3-4 stars and turns out top NFL prospects?

Do we go to a completely different level when we do get a few 5 star DTs?

But keep in mind that our DT rotation for three years running now is almost entirely Tom Herman recruits. Only Murphy signed since Sark took over. 

Under Sark we’ve only signed a couple of true DTs (Bryant and Mitchell), along with some hybrid guys (Bledsoe, Ross, Swanson). Next year we’re going to have to play some guys who haven’t seen the field much. Wish I felt better about the pipeline there.

I think he’s a silent commit….to US. 

Which means absolutely nothing and is useless as tits on boar hog.

Bledsoe had a great camp and has seen action in our games. My buddy down there said Bledsoe was "unblockable" at times.

Nothing wrong with Sydir Mitchell taking his turn. 

T'Vondre Sweat was not very good when he got to Texas. He was a tad light in the britches, too. But he may be the best DT in the land right now.

Heard great things about Ross. I think he was injured recently though.

With the way Bo is developing players, I wouldn't worry too much about what these players are right now. Bledsoe could start for a lot of other teams.

Kinda strange. I thought UT took the numbers off the shoulder pads this year?

I happen to like the numbers there.

I think Flood likes this young man.  Perhaps a tier 1 backup if something falls through.... or decision to me made later??

Not that this matters... but wasn't Murphy a Herman recruit?  Or perhaps a Herman commitment - that held on after the coaching change?

I don't think it matters who recruited the current D-Linemen. It's obvious that this current staff is developing them.

Broughton should come back and Trill Carter has another year of eligibility. Then you have the portal and then come the young guys. We'll be alright.

Large human.... check.  

He is going to have to reshape his body. He is carrying some bad weight.
