I'm thinking Coburn is a must sign.

I think this guy is going to surprise some people maybe not this year (he needs to get bigger) but on Down the Line. I think he's going to be good because of his quickness and speed and his motor is always running. He is going to chase down those quarterbacks that are rolling out to pass.

I just watched video of this kid (Williams). After getting accustomed to seeing all this great talent lately I didn’t think I could go beyong how impressed I already am. But after watching this 260+ lbs guy run for TD’s and how fast he was is really impressive. Give him a shot at DE and if he gets bigger in the next year or two then move him to the middle. What a great athlete.

Agree, he's a RS. But what an exciting prospect.

I think you need to work for the government in Homeland Security with your sleuthing skills!

heads up

TFB --

– It would appear Texas picked up another commit…
Obviously, wouldn’t be right to say who it is but we can tell you that the player is not expected to announce just yet. No final word on when he will announce but I do not anticipate it being this week. – (Super K)​

 

[Omniscient.one]

he did the dream shake rush! step this way, step that way, and then one step back to where he started. that was incredibly pretty, he's got great feet. I know there were no pads but that has me pumped. plus he avoided being tripped by that a**hole

 

[Joe Fan]

Yet another aggy ouch

 

[LonghornCatholic]

That’s a shame.

 

[Joe Fan]

Holland and Wiltfong also CBd Ojomo to Texas
Would be a huge get

The recent CB trend overall appears to favor us with Ojomo

 

[mchammer]

Ags saying losing DL to us doesn’t matter. Rip and replace. But that’s not exactly the point. They were giving shade to our bowl victory and highly regarded recruiting class by saying we had no DL. Now that it looks like we are going to have a nice DL class (Williams, Ossai, Coburn, others?), they forget their previous stupid comments. Same as always.

 

[Joe Fan]

Bush is right at 6'5 and 191
He timed 4.47 at SPARQ (overall score 113)

 

[Joe Fan]

... They were giving shade to our bowl victory and highly regarded recruiting class by saying we had no DL. ....

It wasnt just aggy. Even our own recruiting gurus were doing the same. Bobby Burton wrote an article in December harshly chewing us out for our weaksauce DL recruiting up to that point. The timing was also suspect because it came not long after Chip Brown's piece was used by competing coaches costing us a recruit, possibly two. In jumping in to defend Brown in the face of criticisms, Burton threw in hard with way too much time left. Now he looks even dumber. Maybe he learned his lesson?

Can you imagine the reaction from aggyfan if they had guys like Burton and Brown covering their team on a regular basis? What if a Texags mod wrote something that cost them two 4-star recruits? I think Collie Station would implode. I get the Sunday-only Houston Chronicle which has a devoted staffer to cover aggy. The Chron knows the story here. The guy who covers aggy for them is a total brown-noser, more cheerleader than reporter. Criticism of aggy is strictly forbidden.

But with us, if you add Bohls-AAS to Burton and Chip, it's like we are living in Inverse aggy-World. I sometimes wonder if other college teams put up with the same level of negativity from the local guys who cover their team? I dont really know the answer to that but it seems to me like we have more local critics than the norm. It's weird in the sense that, at least with BB/CB, Texas Football is their primary source of income. A modern bite the hand that feeds.

This is also sort of interesting with regard to the ESPN300 rankings
The Big 12 is on the rise
A big chunk is us this year, but that not all of it

I don't know the answer to how other media outlets in other university towns report, but I would be willing to bet that none cross Saben in his town, and that none cross Meyer in Columbus.

Especially in Alabama. The guy would be fired, there would be a boycott of the paper/internet site.

Not saying that is a good thing all the time. Just saying I think the media is in the pocket of Saben and UA athletics.

Bohls dares to tell the king he has no clothes. Quit with the cry-baby stuff.

And, as much as it is fun to read, the Aggy stuff is shure getting old.

"Ohio State alum Kirk Herbstreit has moved his family from Columbus to Nashville last week because of rabid’ OSU fans who don’t like what he says about the school on ESPN’s ”College GameDay.”

People can be really sick. Truly. I can't stand the rabid fans. They are the ones who enable the cheating. They are emotionally immature at best... and they are raising children. Scary...

 

[LikeMike]

I enyoy Bohls because he is independent and a relatively good writer. If I wanted fawing dribble I would read the UT Sports Info. squish.

ESPN has a nice piece on recruiting the top players in Texas.

The TLDR version is that the Big 12 was really good because it took the top players in Texas. When aggie went to the SEC, top recruits went to SEC schools (but not aggie) and the Big 12 suffered. Now the newness of the SEC has worn off and the Big 12 is getting the top Texas recruits again. This has lead to a resurgence of the Big 12.

I am happy that Herman has Texas not just riding the wave of improved Big 12 recruiting but as the bell cow. A finish of Ossai, Ojomo, Anderson/Tucker, and wr (hopefully Bush or Waddle). Should make Texas the #2 recruiting class in the nation and set the table for a great few years.

Let's not forget Coburn and Ingram. So if we add these 6 or 7 would that be too many? That would be a stout class. I would feel better if one of those was a 5-star offensive lineman but you can't have everything, well, unless you're b**a.

Coburn and Ingram, though not signed, are being counted in the rankings since both are committed.
