    Nahlin --
    It’s September 23rd and UT’s current class consists of:

    •One stud QB who will be a good fit for this or any system
    •Three stud WR’s of complimentary skill who could play anywhere
    •A LB who is a FB long-term
    •A DT whose ceiling is at OG
    •A blocking TE who has a fit with what Texas is doing but not a receiving threat
    •A solid, intelligent OG with real upside
    •A solid CB

    Here is what Texas still desperately needs:

    •A bona fide LT and RT (ideally but not necessarily likely: Delance and Hudson)
    •Three DT’s, two need to play early (Jordan Elliott, Stephon Taylor, and Kendell Jones)
    •A FDE and SDE, SDE needs to play early (Thornton and Madubuike)
    •A homerun hitting RB (Devwah Whaley)
    •A field stretching TE (Jamal Pettigrew)
    •Two talented safeties (Brandon Jones and Deontay Anderson)
    •At least two LB’s, one needs to be a run-stuffer (Dontavious Jackson and Jeffrey McCulloch)

    Maybe he lost it after the TCU loss. Actually his last post was the day of the OSU game.

    I've always been worried one of these pay sites would hunt Godz40acres down and force him to wear mitts for the rest of his life so that he couldn't operate a keyboard any longer. Either that or they would put him on the payroll.

    If this turns out to be true, as it appears it will be, then it should present us with some rich recruiting opportunities. We can really help ourselves by finishing strong
