***Early Signing Day Thread***

[dillohorn]

Don’t understand people wanting to “move on” from a talented prospect. He hasn’t done anything wrong or bad. Same people that usually complain when we don’t make the big 12 title game. 

Stay after him and recruit him until he is writing his name on the paper. He it’s UT great, if not oh well, go get the next highest on ur board. 

Glad u guys aren’t involved in recruiting 

There are a lot of recruits now days that are "problem magnets". Some of these guys are program destroyers. Nuff said.

Biggest thing to me today is only 1 committed OL. Hand has to do a better job than this. 

Stands out like a sore thumb. Why has UT been wondering around lost in the OL desert for years now?

After the North Carolina BBall scandal, it's clear the NCAA as an enforcement arm is dead. teams are going to do whatever the hell they want. 

We should be too. I understand some of you are against this but don’t complain when we don’t win. Most every team is in the gray area and we should be smack in the middle of it also. Some are well past the gray area , and I know who they are. Must break away from Ncaa in 2025

Hookfin was just Fonged to Texas a half hour ago.

From the Fong 

(paraphrased) 11th hour change of heart. No more Baylor, at least for now. This is trending Texas. Apparently, parents like Texas.

Few other CBs for Hookfin to Texas also. 

I assume he still won’t sign today, right?

I don't know, but I would doubt it now. He can still sign through the 21st or he can wait and sign on the next SD.

Here's where I'm at. I'm not wanting to win at all costs. But I am wanting to always be in the gray area. And pushing the envelope so it's dark gray. But never beyond dark gray.

All I can do is laugh at the Hookfin stuff. The staff certainly didn’t give up there.

I love to follow all of the recruiting stories, it’s very entertaining. Every year we land or lose program altering players and I usually don’t remember 95% of them after two years. We will have a few good players  in this class and they won’t all be the highest rated prospects.

Lol .That turned a corner like very quickly

 

[shotime73]

So we have about what 5 to 6 remaining scholarships left?

You know Baylor's sitting there right now going "Texas gave that kid an F350."

All in all, this is a very good class . . . considering . . . . considering we came off a season that wasn't so good, had an offense that stunk, etc., and recruited like a team that was coming off a 10-win season.

We have some special athletes in this class. Chris Adimora might be the steal of the class and reminds me of BJ Foster.

I have a friend who pays much closer attention to this stuff than I do – and he compares Degabriel Floyd to Malik Jefferson, says DGF is a better true LB.

We finally have a top tier TE. Welcome Mr Liebrock.

Folks think we whiffed at DL but T'Vondre Sweat will be an All American at DT before he's done at UT. He reminds me of Casey Hampton.

A 6'2 corner with speed and quicks, thats Kenyatta Watson.

Jake Smith and Jordan Whittington are Swiss army knives, players who can do so many different things. You hope to get one player like this, but we got two. Both are special.

I could go on and on, you get the picture. We have much to smile about today. And TH says there may be one or two more coming.

No, the obsessive aggy clowns are probably posting that as we speak.  Gold Trans Ams are better anyways.

Have to look better on the field before players are going to come... it’s such a simple concept. Biggest needs on this team OL and DL. Cain was a nice to have. Not a need to have. 

 

[oldhorn2]

SHA I disagree. I think our offense was the best we have had in years....it was the defense that struggled....not that I know much....

This class began after LAST year's offense, not this year's. I agree, we improved there leaps and bounds.

This time last year, we were not a confident bunch here. Look at us now. lol

Sure saw a lot of Waddle in the SEC champ game.
