I'm having a hard time not feeling pretty good about our chances here.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Since his name is Austin, isn't it a sure thing?

 

[TheBigE]

Come on down

 

[RomaVicta]

What a great array of talent in this class. I'd love to have this guy and Brown. If Gilbert achieves what we hope and expect, such weapons we would have!

I don't think I've felt like this about recruiting since the Vince class.

 

[hornpharmd]

Even with a verbal, hard to feel confident about these big time OOS prospects until they actually sign.

Texas is the smart move for the kid. It's his very best chance to possibly be a part of a championship team and possibly be a 1st rounder.

Feeling better about this one than anybody in a while.

Austin,

Come on down...to Austin.

 

[salonghorn-70]

You know, the good thing is that for awhile this takes our minds off what Brown is going to do.

 

[ntexascardfan]

Ever wonder how many of these kids schedule their announcements on the day of a test so their pep rally will have it pushed back the next day or two?

 

[glenn]

you gotta like the look on this, but i'll feel much better if we get it nailed down. he, mj, bergeron, and those linemen have the potential to team up with the kids who came in for this season to redefine our offense. especially if malcolm brown decides to come our way.

 

[everybodygodeep]

Have seen that Greenlea has contacted him to tell him there is no way Texas wants him at OT (which is what UW has been telling him), He may be silent to Texas before he leaves Mack's office.

Ten to one if he gets an offer then he announces his commitment to the Longhorns this weekend or on Monday.

 

[Burnt Orangeman]

Is he wanting to play basketball also?
His list of schools look like it EXCEPT for Washington.
USC, UCLA, LSU, Florida, Texas, Washington

I was just watching his youtube highlights:

What strikes me is how well he runs. You just don't see that from a guy that's his size. He's really a special athlete.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

Man I hope we get him.

 

[glenn]

me, too, bill. with the other guys we've got lined up and the other hopeful(s), austin could be the piece of the puzzle that makes it all fit together.

i'm going to be edgy until we hear something.

 

[H-D Rider]

With AS-J now in town, we should be hearing news by Sunday eve at the latest and I fully expect it to be great news!

 

[glenn]

are you just assuming he's here by now or is it being reported? also, was his mom able to make the trip?

 

[Burnt Orangeman]

Unless he gets disgusted with the heat.

Just read this & came to update but I see there's no need. Awesome to hear we finally offered. Come on down to the 40 acres Austin. By virtue of your first name is a clear sign you belong here. HOOK'EM!

 

[salonghorn-70]

We may not hear anything by Sunday if he wants to stick to his Aug 16 announcement date.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

You may be right salong but he may have told the coaches his intentions but of course they will keep quiet until the announcement. Patience.
