Some good news out of Rondale Moore as he says he is locked in with Texas.

Awesome.  Where did you hear this?

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Yeah, Purdue ended up being what he thought it was. Friends are great, even good ones, but there's just one time to shine.

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Awesome.  Where did you hear this?

That's what he told Jason Suchomel on Orangebloods. 

 

[TexExSpur]

Awesome.  Where did you hear this?

This is what he told everyone at his "Army All American" jersey presentation.

Texas keeping Moore locked in is terrific news since it seems Waddle is still trending in the opposite direction.

Now Texas just need some trench help. Looked at some film on Landry today, he looks good. Just needs to put on some weight.

@Daniel Seahorn,

Of these current players which do you expect to declare for the NFL draft?

1. Conner Williams
   
2. Malik Jefferson
   
3. DeShon Elliott
   
4. Holton Hill
   

Those could be some big voids next year.  Your thoughts?  I could see us losing all four unfortunately

I like his film and I think Texas will have a good shot at a flip if/when they offer. Kid can play.

Popped his tape on the other day. Better buckle your chin strip when you come around him.

I'm a sunshine pumper and think we keep all 4.  As well as each has played, they each leave something to be desired; although not much regarding Malik and Connor.  I'm not so sure scouts are salivating over Elliott and Hill as much as we as fans currently are.  Seriously doubt it's enough to give either Hill or Elliott a 1st round grade. Those two (and including Malik) have only really put one good year of game film together.  Malik did have a great freshman season tho.  If pressed, I's say we lose Connor; possibly Malik.  I think we welcome back Elliott and Hill...

FWIW, one mock draft has Hill going in the first round to the Dallas

 

[Slimer]

R. Moore got a lot of flip picks a while back to Purdue and looks like everything will be good.  Let's hope the same occurs with Adeoye.  Still wish we would have jumped on White earlier than we did.

I'm thinking Williams, Jefferson and Hill are definitely gone.

I think Malik and Connor are the most likely of the bunch. Connor is the only one who has strung together consecutive seasons of high level production, but Malik will probably blow up the combine and his pro day from a testing standpoint and will benefit from that. 

With Hill and Elliott, both have played at a high level this year, but both will face questions about being one year wonders and in Hill’s case off the field stuff. I think if you are looking for hope in guys coming back these guys are probably the best bets. 

If all four opt to leave that obviously would be hard to stomach, but I bet we see at least one stay in school.

I think we see eye to eye here. Each player comes with their own set of red flags that could potentially lead them back to campus.
