    Jamaal was one of those players I just loved to watch run. His style was so unique. Someone called him a “wisp of smoke” when he ran and I always think of him that way. So smooth.

    And he was someone I felt was waaaaay underutilized. He had such talent, but our offense was running pretty darn well the way it was.

    Kameron is really, really fast. And he showed ability to break tackles, and catch the ball. Getting him in space would be a lethal weapon. Do it Charlie!!

    Per Rivals:

    Kam Martin is a Baylor commit, but had been a big UT lean. He became a bit disgruntled when Texas didn't give him an early offer and started leaning towards Florida State, then committed to Baylor. He's still committed to the Bears, but there's no doubt that the Longhorns have his attention.

    "Coach Briles and his staff did a good job with me. But Texas, that's my dream school," Martin said. "Watching Jamaal Charles (his cousin), growing up liking Texas and watching him play. It's always has been my dream school. I'm going to have to open up my eyes. But I have plenty of time."

    Martin took the initiative to reach out to the Texas coaches this week, which led to the offer. This looks very good for the Horns.

    wow, that is interesting. I was disappointed when I heard him say he was still solid to Baylor. So you're saying there is a chance?!

    That video of his runs reminds me of JC. If this kid has any football DNA from JC, we want him.

    Re: his commitment to da bearz... just give CS time to work his magic.

    Re: Jamal Charles running... as DKR would have described him "he is as smooth as smoke through a keyhole".

    Yeah, this guy has been acting up all along. He got all hot under the collar more when he wasn't one of the earliest offers we made (not among the first 10-15, that is). It is not like we had offered a lot of guys rated below him either when he started bad-mouthing Texas. It started sometime late last year a whole year and half before the next NSD. Then we finally offered after this NSD, and he continues to badmouth us. Jeez, guy, get a grip on yourself. There was a season to be played and the 2015 recruiting to complete. It wasn't like we had offered 75 guys already before we offered you.

    Maybe he is trolling. Probably he isn't. Either way, I would rather not pay attention to this guy till something changes from his side. Man, talk about being a head case. Jamal Charles' cousins are not all Jamal Charles, for crying out loud!

    Too bad. He seems to have a weird chip on his shoulder to sound off like that.

    If you will recall, Jamal had his issues of being "forgotten" and misused also. Mack bent over backwards to appease him - which in the long run is what got Mack in trouble (not Charles specifically, but playing favorites and appeasing).

    Well if he ends up a BU, then he'll make a nice target for Malik J and Cherry to tee-off on....

    There's making a statement and then there's making a huge immutable statement.

    Martin visited Baylor's Saturday practice sporting a new 'too:



    Yeah, he's 17.

    As a player with no school ties, Looking at Baylor's offense vs Texas's offense. Who would choose?

    As a player with no school ties, looking at the town you want to come of age in and to call home, looking at the university you want to graduate from, the degree you want to hold and the team you want to tell your children and grandchildren you played for. Who would you choose? And who knows how each of these teams will be performing on the field 5 years from now when you are a senior. It's all a matter of perspective.

    Kinda like:
    "I played college football at Baylor." response, "Oh, cool!"
    Compared to:
    "I played college football at Texas." response., "WOW! That's a great program! Can I get your autograph!?"

    All campuses have girls, Most footballers think of going pro. I know a lot of Baylor grads who are proud of thier school[mostly dentists]. And a lot of players want to go to a winner. So it is a matter of perspective.
