Crossfire Q&A

[Darrell McPhaul]

Fire away.

 

[BigPhil76]

Heard a player was involved in a fight over the weekend, will he be dismissed for the action?

 

[BigPhil76]

Who is the next recruit to commit?

 

[BevosEgo]

Any updated status on Johnathan Gray's recovery... Opinion on weather he will seek a med. redshirt, or try to play this year.

 

[86MEHorn]

How are verbal commits going to be handled under Strong? Seems we have 60 - 70 offers out. Does the recruit have to visit in person...bring parents? Whoever verbals first gets the spot?

 

[Texasfight10]

Whats the word on Malik Jefferson and Daylon Mack?

 

[Chapalahorn]

Which linebackers are looking the best so far?

 

[ATX89]

I'm wondering about Daylon Mack as well. Also, was Harrison actually shot over spring break and that's the reason for his leg injury? Any more details on that?

 

[backyardmike]

The teaser you floated at the end of the Crossfire last week was really enticing. Can you move that rock just a little bit further and wet our appetites a bit more?

 

[Embrey]

Which linebackers are looking the best so far?

To piggyback off of ChapalaHorn's question, is Dalton Santos an answer at the linebacker position and, how has he responded to Coach Strong's way? Same question regarding Jordan Hicks.

Can Jaxon Shipley be an effective possession receiver?

How does Erik Huhn look as a Longhorn? Kid was a good player in high school.

If you had to pick a leader on both sides of the ball, who are the players that other players follow?

 

[harpethhorn]

Has Mack Brown decided to give his endorsement of Charlie Strong to HS coaches across the state?

Saw that nugget last week…..or are he and Sally still going through UT withdrawal?

BTW- I'm excited about CS and staff, and all about moving forward but couldn't resist to ask.

"Physicality" seems to be the buzzword various blogs are running with this Spring practice. I want to feel good but I've been disappointed by similar claims the last three Spring practices under Mack. I haven[t been motivated to go to a Spring game since 2009, how can I believe again and feel the desire to go back to a Spring game?

1. just how BIG is this proposed state "tour" that "coach strong" is preparing to be participating in? obviously, this is indeed a great idea by all accounts... since it shall allow for new and prospective "fans" as per strategic areas throughout the state of texas, to "come and get to view up close and meet our new head coach" per se. what is your most honest view regarding this "tour" darrell? could this prospective "tour" be also designed to build a bit of "swagger" surrounding our new head coach in lieu of "sumlin" as well as "bob stoops" already highly recognized images?

2. darrell, would it be possible to acquire the "view" as per our "friend of bevo" upon what he really thinks of this forthcoming "tour" featuring our new head coach "strong"? i would really enjoy viewing his "pros vs cons" regarding this prospective "tour"

 

[ManoCornuda]

What were the reactions from the prospects on hand for the full pads practice this past weekend?

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Which team from the ACC inquired about joining the Big 12?

 

[Hooverhog]

What's the real story with Ronald Jones and UT's recruitment of him?

 

[Pancho Negro]

Is Rick Barnes in a "must win big or you're gone" situation next year? If so, does Patterson already have names on tap for a new basketball coach?

 

[86MEHorn]

What's the real story with Ronald Jones and UT's recruitment of him?

Good question, what a saga. At least you did not call him "Roland". Is he a prima donna?

From Shaggy: Ronald Jones put out his top 6 and we aren't in it. Supposedly we sent him a letter addressed to "Roland Jones" and he wasn't too happy about it.

 

[hooked4life]

I heard we are moving up on Ronald Jones list maybe even to number one. What changed? Is there truth to this? He reminds me of Jamal Charles a lot.
