#11 in the House!!!

I think it speaks volumes about the kid. Smart move on his part. Very few 18 year old kids would have the moxie to think this decision through the way he did. Just outstanding the way it was handled by all parties involved. Pure class all the way. Rack up another 4 star. Now lets go get James!

Hughes 2.0 is rapidly becoming my favorite Longhorn of the last half decade, seriously. You have to find a way to get someone aboard who is as talented as he is, and wants that badly to be a Longhorn. I'm not wishing anything bad on any current team members, but I have a strong hunch the scholarship crunch will work its' way out in Hughes favor before next February.

It is mind bottling that a recruit of his stature would take that offer. Mr. Hughes has moved up the charts to my favorite recruit for this move.

Congratulations and welcome to the 4,000 Acres Mr. Hughes!!

Aaron Ross must rank highly on the Longhorn fanatic scales sitting out two years without being on campus while the NCAA ironed out his academics.

Mind Bottling????

Anyway, congrats to the young man. Hope he gets to come in earlier. But, it seems like the house has pretty much been cleaned already. Dont know just how much attrition we will have.

Love this commitment!

For the demented recruiting technocrats, check NCAA Manual Article 15.5.6.3 for rules on this kind of offer. If you Google "Grayshirt", you get many conflicting definitions. Oh yeah, you might need a legal degree to interpret the manual.

Yeah, mind-bottling? Should I be uphauled about it? Once in a while gems of words get invented here. May be this is one too.

On Hughes, all I can say is that the kid has already won the hearts of al lot of longhorn faithfuls, whatever shirt he wears, as we know that it will have only one color - burnt orange - whatever NCAA calls it.

I will be mind-bottled and uphauled if Hughes doesn't go for the juggler when he starts playing football here.

Especially so when there is so much parody in the abilities of these top players. R.J.

Guys, Etymology and Semantics just don't live on the internet or with the younger league and while I am an admirer, it really is dying an unfortunate death. They don't even understand your scorn.
