Just saw this. Not sure if it was grades or a complete change of heart.

Combination of both..When he realize his grades...then...

Texas told him a month ago that he needed to look elsewhere because they wanted a TE that could come in the spring.

The next one will be Courtney Garrett the DT from St. Augustine.

I wasnt impressed with Garrett file, the little that i have seen. He will definitely need a few years to be productive.

I expect a few more, especially if Bu beats us by >14.

 

[RoyalCrowns]

I'm fearful this could only be the beginning.

 

[Lord Vader]

I think Garrett is not going to qualify academically.

 

[UTK66]

I think Garrett is not going to qualify academically.

Same here. I don't really consider this a loss since he probably wasn't gonna get in anyway.

 

[Lord Vader]

Thomas says it was a fear "of being moved to tackle" and us needing a guy here in the spring.

It's either that or the Auburn offer calling his name. This one really doesnt worry me.

I'm fearful this could only be the beginning.

I'm personally on the verge of decommitting unless Patterson makes some much needed changes at the top of the program.

Always 3-4 before signing day. Sucks though considering how ineffective the TE position has been.

Why would a tight end want to come play at texas! Since jermichael finley left early the position has been cursed! Swaim is a good blocker but he never catches any passes!

 

[Lord Vader]

And that needs to stop. Now.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

And that needs to stop. Now.

It is not going to stop, especially this year. Our program has a cloud of indecision hanging over it right now. Not until Brown announces and even then, not until we introduce a new coach, we are going to be subjective to decommits.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

He was never going to get into UT

He never gets into the pattern because of the need of the TE or TE's to block. The progression of the OL is being propped up by this. Until we can block a standard line on a consistent basis, it would not matter if we had John Mackey.
