Let's get started. Sorry for the lateness. Had my first final of the semester today and just got done!
Anthony Hines committed to Texas A&M earlier today, which really wasn't a surprise. However, Texas is not out of it yet. They are still set to have an in-home with Hines sometime next week.
JUCO RB Krysten Hammons has very high interest in Texas, but do the Longhorns have interest in him? Maybe, maybe not. I have not seen Hammons' tape, but have heard that it is not eye opening by any means. If Texas misses on their other prospects like Eno Benjamin and Toneil Carter, Hammons might be an option. Although Hammons is the #1 JUCO RB in the nation, that doesn't always mean too much. Don't get your hopes up about this kid. However, he is highly interested in Texas. I have no hesitation about whether or not he would commit to Texas if offered.
Tom Herman and Co. continue to hit the recruiting trail. They will constantly hit Texas hard until the dead period arrives. Herman has great relationships with Texas HS coaches, which is a boost from the Strong era. I wouldn't could Texas out of anyone's recruitment just yet.
Lastly, just days after delaying his commitment decision, Baron Browning pledged his services to the Ohio State Buckeyes. A few days prior, Browning received a visit from Urban Meyer and his staff. With so many defensive players probably leaving for the NFL draft, the decision is not unwarranted. Texas will continue to push for Browning, but this one will be tough to come back from.
What are your thoughts on recruiting or any other matter? Also hearing that Texas will decline a bowl invitation if they are invited. Probably the best move, imo. Fire away with all questions and we will get to them!
