I Want Me Sum Poona!

From 247.

"I just spoke with four-star defensive tackle Poona Ford who told me he had a great visit this weekend and now the Horns are standing out in a good way. "It was really good," said Ford. "I had a lot of fun. You could say that Texas is definitely the favorite right now."

Ford hasn't committed yet, but said there's a chance he goes home and thinks everything over and does so. Currently he has official visits scheduled to Missouri and Oregon, but if he does end up committing, he would cancel those"

 
How his first name pronounced?

ooops...I think I just got my answer.

 
Should be called Conan after seeing his video

 
Mr. Ford needs to be a Longhorn and we need him for the Strong change.....do you hear. Funny stuff will not help us.

 
he's got a name right out of a dan jenkins novel.

i agree with Tom-- anybody with the name of Poona is an instant take, if only for all name team purposes. the fact that he can flat out play is just the gravy.

 
he's got a name right out of a dan jenkins novel. ...
Or Elmore Leonard.

IMO we seriously need to reel in some of these DTs for this class.

Remember we had none in the last class.

And, so far, we lost all of the verbals in this class.

In 2012, we took 3 but the depth chart is thin.

Since Malcom Brown played as a true freshman, he will be a junior.

Desmond Jackson is a senior.

Hassan Ridgeway was moved there. He joined redshirts Boyette and Norman, neither of whom have lit the world on fire.

If (1) we dont pull in any this year; and

(2) Brown has a big year and moves on the the NFL ....

Then our 2015 DT depth chart would only have only those latter 3 -- Ridgeway/Boyette/Norman + true freshmen/transfers.

Thus, as of this moment in time, it looks key that we land not just Poona but Chris Nelson as well.

At least two.

Michael Sawyers possible 3rd.

Poona is not taking a visit to SC.

Has stopped talking to their coaches.
