Kennard: 'Commitment could be coming really soon'

Picking the top uncommitted football recruits against a computer

Interesting what the computer picks vs SI human picks

 

[WorsterMan]

Re: Kennard, that SI article says:

Computer: USC

Human: UT

We all know computers are smarter than humans, right? We will see.

 

[Texdoc]

You sure that's Bobby V ???

But yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

HOOK 'EM,
Texdoc

Answer to all above on my post about sending Wil... I corrected it. Yes, yes, yes, I'd have sent Muschamp. That story of how he kept playing with injuries and became a captain on Georgia.... totally inspiring.

And yes I have had the flu. How'd you know? I have had it so bad my ribs are sore from the coughing. This was one week to have stayed off the board.

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

Okafor on one side, Kennard on the other.

Please, lord, let it be.

 

[Bevo Incognito]

If Devon were to commit to Texas, what impact might that have on the other recruits to whom we still have outstanding offers?

 

[Texdoc]

"and yes, I've had the flu" How'd you know"?

Just a wild guess HU, but I bet it had something to do with your first post where you stated (got the flu)

Drink plenty of liquids, go back to bed, & get well.
I'll send you my bill.

HOOK 'EM,
Texdoc

 

[TheUltimateDivas]

Rumor is that within last 24 hours Kennard informed coaches that he picked SC.

Congrats to DK. Good luck in college and the NFL.

 

[Texdoc]

Even though you're just the messenger, if you were here & I had a gun......

Man, I hope you are wrong.

HOOK 'EM,
Texdoc

 

[WorsterMan]

I suspect the rumor is probably true

 

[TexanWolv]

If true..Oh well...Good luck to him.

In two weeks we will be turning the page and celebrating the typically ridiculous amount of early commitments Texas gets.

 

[Strange Tex]

How do rumors get started? They're started by the jealous people and they get mad seeing something they had and somebody else is holdin'

We officially find out tomorrow morning, right?

 

[TheUltimateDivas]

I guess if I was there, and you had a gun, at least you are a doctor...so there's hope.

anyhoo...I think we can all agree that we are lucky ******** to be Texas fans:

Mack locks up the best in Texas before Labor Day and then spends the next few months getting ready for the next years' recruiting class (Junior Day is right around the corner), focusing on a select few Texas seniors (Cobi Hamilton; Tevin Mims), and trying to snag a blue chip from OOS (Kennard, Jones, Kirkpatrick).

Thanks, Mack.

If he is truly open for which school he is going to attend, he should look at the conference. Big 12/Pac 10. (No brainer in my opinion). However, three of his top schools are Pac 10, so I think he is leaning that direction. This bodes well for USC and not good for us. Either way, have a great career and God Bless!!

 

[UTFAN4EVER]

One last thing on Kennard. His dad won a Super Bowl with Dallas. I think that helps a little with Texas. Either way, I will be real surprised if it is anyone except SC.

 

[HousHorn09]

 

[Santafe]

I think the fact that USC is almost a lock to at least either share or win the PAC-10 each year is a huge factor in his decision. If he goes to USC he almost certainly plays in a BCS bowl each year and contends for a national championship. Then there's playing in a larger TV market, the beach, Southern California weather, LA, etc. It's hard to say no to all of that.

 

[Hu_Fan]

Maybe the Horns will be playing Barkley and Kennard in a few top BCS bowl games.... Then we'll see.... Muschamps defense against Barkley.... Colt/Gilbert against USC & Kennard.

It's just like with OU... the Texas players who don't come here and play with Texas... they're chosing to play against Texas.

 

[ntexascardfan]

Am I the only one who is pretty anxious this morning?

 

[where_are_my_8s]

He'll have the announcement at a school assembly at 7:45 local time (9:45 central time).

 

[texashorne]

I have a good feeling about this one. I can't explain why.

 

[MTF]

Orangebloods saying he just announced USC

 

[where_are_my_8s]

I just thought that maybe Phoeniz area is mountain time not Pacific.

 

[hookemcmw]

per Scouts, he verbaled USC

[hornpharmd]

Yeh SC will win the Pac 10 just about every year thus getting either Rose bowl or MNC bid as well. They are stockpiling talent like never seen.

They got bored last season and lost 1 game. Otherise they are in MNC game just about every year.

 

[Texas Taps]

Kennard chooses USC

 

[TexanWolv]

Next!

It isn't much of a surprise. It is hard to compete with the glamour of Hollywood also even though Austin is a great city. Good luck to him (except where it involves UT) and thanks to him for considering us. Now in case we ever play against him we need to keep getting good OL who can block him and McFarland.

 

[DigglerontheHoof]

No surprise at all. Texas almost never wins "announcement" type choices. I don't know why but it's an incredible rarity that it happens.

This one doesn't bother me as much b/c there's a pretty solid chance he'll have a tough time staying healthy w/ that knee. It kind of reminds me of that 5* w/ shoulder problems (damn, can't remember his name) that Texas signed out of Oklahoma a few years back.

Oh well, good luck to the dude.
