Christine Michael might want UT??

[centexorange]

It is my understanding that Mack promised Chris Whaley that if he commited - he would be the only RB taken this year....

I find this very hard to believe..

- A lot of talk since last year that Mack told Whaley he was going to be the only back taken.

- If true, I think thats an idiotic move as Whaley is a RB in a LB's body

- Michael has basically been waiting on a better situation than the one at A&M.

- Hasnt really been recruited by the Horns or OU and has a weird relationship with LSU

- Basically, he will end up at A&M by process of elimination

- People who follow football in the GT, say that he is a good RB, but he is not suited for the spread offense(CM said as much in a radio interview with Ketch). More of a between the tackles type.

his has been a very strange recruitment. back in feb, ketch ran a bunch of teasers saying he wanted to be a horn...folks here seemed to think he'd commit on the spot, if offered. he left jr. day (the second one, right?) without an offer. he then immediately commits to aggy, only to decommit amid rumors that he likes lsu. then, as is all too common with leftover, uncommitted, 4 star skill players, rivals bumps him to 5 stars. that's not to say he's not excellent, but rivals has a habit of whipping up froth around good uncommitted guys. the general consensus is that it will either be lsu or aggy. now he says he would still consider Texas.

why are the usual OOS suspects not after this kid? why has Texas not shown interest after that jr day? it all is very odd.

our rb recruitment does not make a lot of sense. look at whaley. i LOVE this kid as a running back. if he can keep his speed, i don't care if he's 250. he's a freak athlete. however, does he have the 0-60 and shiftiness to be a shotgun-spread, handoff-at-a-standstill guy? with a guy like that, i'd line him up 8 deep with an evil fullback and freaking mow people down, USC/OU/98 UT style. is GD planning on shifting the O back to a more pro-style look with Whaley and Gilbert? (if so, i sure hope we do it with a vertical passing game this time). if he isn't, are the coaches planning on giving whaley a shot at rb before trying to move him elsewhere?

From what was said in a previous post about Michael's visit with our staff not going well, I wonder if he came across as Perrilouxerish. I can see that putting him out of contention very fast.

This kid and McGuffie could make for a good backfield for Aggie. It seems they can get good running backs no matter how bad they are. These guys need to talk to Goodson before committing there.

Texas just doesn't have any interest. CM is a good kid and he is very good, but he does not have the options that most have. It is weird but some of it is because of bad advice and his premature statements.

I do know that he wants to come to Texas but it isn't going to happen.
