    Texas Lands 4-Star OT Javonne Shepherd (Commitment Spotlight)

    Extremely raw.  You can go to YouTube and watch the full game vs. La Marque last season.

    ***Super Regional Thread: Tennessee Tech vs Texas***

    I thought Kingham had good stuff today.  The third inning was more about location as he was getting ahead 0-2 to most hitters, just caught too much of the plate with pitches after that.  Tenn Tech is a good team, but not impossible to get this to a deciding game 3 if Horns take care of business...

    Commitment Spotlight: Brayden Liebrock

    I've learned over the years to ignore TE signings or verbal commits.  The position has turned into a "big WR" that is dependent on matching up with undersized slot CB's.  Very rarely can a versatile TE put his hand on the ground in a spread offense or tight formation and be an above average...

    Commitment Spotlight: Tre Watson

    Under the radar move judging by the lack of posts, but a huge addition for the Horns.  I'm in the Daniel Young camp as a lead back, but Watson has terrific hands and the RB room needed a veteran badly.  Carter's inability to hold onto the football made this type of addition necessary.  Ingram...

    Review of Dallas' Draft

    Sky is the limit for Vander Esch.  Has uncommon size and length and is so comfortable in coverage.  Now that this his job 24/7, he should continue to get stronger.  I think there will be packages and situations where he will start year 1 as Dallas rolled out several 3 LB sets last season instead...

    ***** NFL DRAFT THREAD *****

    I love the Vander Esch pick from Dallas.  This is the player I hoped would be there and the Cowboys didn't get caught up in the "we need a WR" narrative and pick from a group that don't belong in the first round.  Evans from Bama would have been fine, but I believe Vander Esch is much better in...

    Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

    Dallas and Seattle talking Earl Thomas to the Cowboys for a 2nd round pick (50).  Seattle apparently has agreed, but Dallas is wanting to see if they can work out an extension with Earl before consummating the trade.  Earl would be the first true star in the secondary that the Cowboys have had...

    Spring Game Takeaways and Observations

    I'm just not sure this offense can be explosive enough to challenge for a Big XII Championship.  Both QB's don't push the ball vertically as evident by the Yards/Attempt being 7.0 or lower for both last season.  This means that the offense can afford no mistakes and most likely sets up multiple...

    2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

    OU had an outstanding weekend via the verbal commits from top flight recruits.  Texas, Texas A&M and OU should rule the lone star state for awhile, but UT better start producing wins on the field or momentum can stop.  Hoping for 9 wins this year and that should show recruits that things are...

    Storylines to Watch as Texas Begins Spring Practice

    I hate to be "that guy" and I apologize if the content is embedded in another thread, but the lack of Spring practice reporting by this site is surprising and leaves me having to look to other sites and newspaper outlets for practice news.  I love HornSports, but I'm certainly disappointed this...

    Way too early predictions - Longhorns

    History has shown you must have a generational type QB if the OLine is just above average or a game manager type behind a top 5 OLine with playmakers around the QB.  UT has neither scenario working in its favor.  Consistency on offense will continue to be a struggle and despite the best efforts...

    Commitment Spotlight: Stud LB De'Gabriel Floyd chooses Texas

    The biggest plus for me is that he plays multiple positions on offense, which shows he has ball skills.  Today's LB's vs. spread offenses need to be good in space and he looks very comfortable in space judging from the video.  Nice pickup for the Horns.

    2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

    I respectfully disagree.  Before the knee injury, Glass was the best player in the class.  There was no comparison in athleticism between Porter and Glass as the latter was a couple of tiers above Porter.  Glass wasn't the same runner last season coming off the knee injury, but as the season...
