we're obviously gonna be picky with wrs this year. and i'm fine with that.

 

[coolhorn]

Agreed HG, but when all is said and done, I'll bet Blake is a Horn.

 

[HornLivin]

I too think he will eventually be a Horn, maybe this summer. I love this kid. Even if we just take one WR I would be cool with making it Blake. Good luck to the kid. Now go focus on beating Westlake again...

 

[madscientist]

i bet he's good at catching the deep ball, because that's about all his pop could throw.

Keep working hard EB. hope to see u say yes in a few weeks/months.

 

[Colt McVince]

I think Timmons and Blake would make a hell of a WR class considering the small numbers this year.

 

[coolhorn]

Looks like if Mack pulls the trigger on an offer to Blake, that's what we'll get in receivers next year, since (allegedly) Timmons is Austin bound.

 

[TheContractor]

Would be great to get both of those. Seem to be the 2 best in TX!

 

[coolhorn]

I actually want Blake a little more than Pratt, even though receiver isn't a big need position after the last couple of classes. I think Blake's a serious player for somebody, and I'd like it to be us.

 

[WashU-Horn]

Because his name is Emory. He would get an offer if he was Wash U. Blake

 

[TheTresLeches]

I'm guessing if Russell Shepherd decides to come to Texas, Blake may not get the offer.

 

[WashU-Horn]

RS is going to Michigan.

 

[Tex Pete]

I think so, too.

 

[mikey4]

Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree.

 

[horngrad03]

Russell will be a horn.

1.) Dad played in the pros? check
2.) Got a university named after you? check
3.) Play at the coolest HS in Texas? check
4.) Plan on taking Bowie and Westlake to the woodshed? check

Kid looks good to me.

May be a great WR but Texas needs DL and LBS much more.

 

[hornpharmd]

I like 2 WR's at least every year. It is great to get a big WR class but then at some point in time you have to pay for it with a lack of experience. Same goes for DB and OL recruiting.

 

[coolhorn]

The bottom line is this...Blake's a very good receiver who likes Texas. You don't pass on a player like that. Given his injury last year, Mack was right to say let's wait a bit, but in the end, I think Blake gets offered and winds up at Texas. That would be a good thing.
