One that got away...

Just keeping everyone up-to-speed, good or bad... this isn't good and reports say Texas won't give up till signing day! It's imperative that Diaz & the Texas 'D' have a great year and the team goes 10+ wins...

Per the guys at Texas.247Sports.com...

San Antonio Roosevelt Top247 2014 defensive back Arrion Springs has made his college decision and has recruited to Oregon, choosing the Ducks over the Longhorns just moments ago.

Springs is ranked the No. 84 player overall and the No. 8 corner in the nation by 247Sports.

Although he may be committed, don't expect the Longhorns to just roll over and give up. They'll continue to recruit the 5-foot-11, 192-pound four-star prospect.

I guess he feels with them on probation he has a good chance and since the NCAA is spineless and there is no post season ban on the Ducks he gets to play in a bowl game too.

What's that, Oregon got put on probation? Sign me up.

He pulled the ol' cap trick at the 7-on-7 on ESPNU. Started to put on the Texas cap, then put it down and put on the Duck cap.

Not a good sign he would flip.

Whatever....

When asked about how stiffer penalties would have affected his decision in favor of Oregon, “I probably wouldn't have chose them,” he said.

There's a reason Dumb-*** and Ducks both start with "D".

Not to mention that I have a personal aversion to any recruit who participates in these 'hat' ceremonies.

 

[Badass]

Didn't the scheduled announcement occur at a Nike camp in Oregon? -- doesn't take a genius to guess who he was going to pick

 

[SabreHorn]

Contest:

His second year he will be playing for:

A) Baylor
B) TCU
C) UTSA
D) Navarro JC

DB is not really a need, One DT and two or three OL are however a big need IMO.

 

[1leggedduck]

With his investment in gold and green accessories, I'm betting he follows Lache to Baylor. After college, they can settle into that young man's dream town: Waco.

Jesus used to live in Waco. Well, sorta. So he said.

Gents, just salute him and move on.
We take a second place to no one here. He just wasn't a fit.
How can you blame a kid for wanting to go up there and play for them? Speed, speed, and more speed. Best facilities out there. The only caveat is I lived in Eugene. Not a lot going on on a Saturday night in Febuary. Better bring an umbrella.

It was the iridescent sheen of their unis that swayed him. That and the feathers.
