Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

Didn't say he wouldn't be successful and hope he will.  I was pointing out that he's a tweener who's 6'4" and only runs a 4.8 40.  Too light for a TE and too slow for a slot.

The same held true at Texas. Why would it matter now?

I said I don't think he'll break as many tackles against NFL secondaries.  I also stated that I think coming back another year would have only helped him.  Ultimately he didn't get drafted.  Not sure how much worse he could've done by coming back for his Sr. year.  I hear you on the injury front, but that's a risk all kids take and is likely a bit more applicable from a $ perspective for higher round options.  Kids that don't get drafted don't really have the same leverage or rationale to declare early to avoid injury.  They clearly need too put more strong play, speed, route running on film for more than one season to improve their draft grade.

I can't speak for LJH, I can only imagine he got some advice that wasn't entirely true or he just got set on going and wouldn't let anything stop him. His family already has money so it wasn't that. I can only assume he was just looking for the next challenge.

 
LJH said in interviews it was not all about the money. So why not come back and finish what he started?  Get his degree and try and to help his team make the playoffs?

Question for the board.  Would Bru still have came to Texas if LJH stayed another year?
Tough to say. Early PT could have played a factor. But it could have also been a "wait a minute, what have I done" realization while at USC and Texas was the only comfortable choice when he decided to leave?

 
My aggie BIL reminded me tonight that 3 Allen HS graduates were drafted before anyone from UT.  I had no response....

LSU needs to run Texas out of their own stadium this upcoming season. Will be a HUGE game for recruiting. Need to make Texas look soft.

Aggy has been offered a home and home with Texas twice since they left.  They’ve taken neither opportunity.  Are they scared of a program with less draft picks than Allen ISD

a funny note.....  number 1 draft pick and heisman winner was in their laps and they couldn’t figure out to play him or not

 
Ohio State QB transfer Matthew Baldwin is going to . . . . . . TCU.
