The Fresh Prince is in. 



Post going up now.

I like them Dawgs that get after the Quarterbacks. This kid is a Dawg

Bijan Robinson has been Fong’d to Ohio State

Yup couple CB’s put in for Bijan today. That blows. But day isn’t ruined, we for Prince!

What the hell are they selling in Columbus?  You figure they would take a little dip when Meyer stepped down.  Nope, they're kicking ass in recruiting.

July 16th decision for Lathan Ransom and potentially an early August decision for Bijan Robinson. Neither currently have positive trend lines for Texas.

With out without Meyer Ohio State is one of the premier programs in the country. They win and they churn out draft picks. Player development is a huge thing Texas is having to overcome right now.

I hear you on OSU.

Question for you Daniel, what the hell does Texas do now at RB?  They made Bijan a priority and will not get him.  RB is one position they need since the likelihood of Derrian Brown playing is slim.  I know they look pretty decent for 2021 guys and maybe they can get by with Ingram, Whittington and Young next year, but the lack of depth will hurt.

I'm not Daniel, but I don't think you throw in the towel with Robinson. We were his leader before he even visited here. IMO, there has to be some outside factors pulling him away. That may dissipate over the next month or so.

And I would not discount Brown playing full time beginning in 2020. Kid is a fighter.

I'm pulling for Brown and hope he completely gets back to the way he was.  He did go through something life changing.

Regarding Robinson, you continue to recruit him until the ink is dry; however, there is something pulling him and it may be hard to overcome.  With that said, UT needs to have a contingency plan and I'm just not sure what it is.  Evans is a possibility (a slim possibility); Jace has shown interest but is committed elsewhere; Ty Jordan is possible but he seems enamored with USC.  What else is out there that will make a difference the Horns should be going after?

Hopefully this leads to more good news!

Will be interesting to see what tOSU does on the field without Meyer. What we need to remember is little OSU seems to churn out backs year over year. If they can do it with 3* talent we sure the hell out to be able to.

3* D'onta Foreman comes to mind. With the offensive line we're building, our backs are going to shine. Would love to have another 5* back, but our O is going to be deadly as it is. 

Agree about tOSU, but plenty of talent there for Day, so probably no big dropoff, similar to when Stoops left ou...unfortunately.

OSU's distance, at some point, may become a factor. He once talked about distance with regard to Texas. Well, OSU is much, much further. I think while it may not be much of a factor now due to feelings a young man can have, chickens always come home to roost at nightfall.

We're very much in it with Jace. The LSU game will be huge for that recruitment as it will speak to our development as a program.

Ty Jordan could be had if we're keeping in touch with him. We can't show up in the 11th hour and expect anything though.

Amen. You took the words right out of my mouth.

Texas probably should turn the heat up on Ty Jordan and continue to work on McClellan.

What is Evans saying about Alabama?

What is Evans saying about Alabama?

Last I heard, he said "F Bama" in a live chat over the weekend. I was told Bama told him he would probably not come in and start as a freshman. He crossed them off right then and there.

I hope Derrian Brown makes it all the way back. He has already made remarkable progress. 

All the way, Derrian!
