OL Alex Anderson Commits

[RealtorHorn]

Great get. Does anyone know if this staff is looking at D. Knox? I know he was a bit flaky early but if this staff trusts him enough to open it back up...I'm all for it and hope it happens. Anyone know?

This article shows that sometimes star rankings doesn't always mean that much.

That is interesting. I always wanted to see someone put together a compilation like that.

Also, on Anderson, apparently that 3* rating was after his junior year and was never re-rated.

Lots of bigger name schools were after him in the last few weeks - Florida, Florida St, Bama - hard to figure how an OL with such a mean streak, excellent size and agility can be rated so low.

Big pick up for Texas. Now we need Poona to come on down. Things are looking good for us on Olaka I hear.

I've always thought the offer list was vastly more important than the rankings of a service. I think they are far better evaluators of talent.

"I feel like the old Texas is about to be back in effect."

Well said, young man. Well said.

I could do without Poona. He is slow off the line and some reports have him at only 5'10". Ben Alexander type.

Casey Hampton is 5'11" in shoes. Height is not so important when it comes to DT.

Welcome to the University of Texas Football Alex Anderson....HOOK'EM and OU sucks.
