2018 Recruiting - Football

They did try and get him to portal (at least that is my take)


And, by coincidence, there is a dog portal app for that

 

Well, his blocking (or more accurately, body obstacle placement) did improve as the season developed. All he requires now is a lot more motivation.

 

Great question JF.
I don’t like Urban, but I remember a mic’d up practice from early at Ohio St. he was screaming that’s average! We don’t want to coach average! We don’t want to be around average!
I believe Tom was on the staff at that time

 

This week, I had my fifteen year old watch the opening speech in the movie Patton. That about sums it up.

 

Now we know why he does not stick at TE which seems to be his natural position until you watch that clip.

 

Now that's how I would cover wrs if I were a cornerback! Keep jamming and don't let them run their route. Guess that's easier said than done but it's a good way to do it.

 

It's easier when they dont push back

 

You might recall flaky Ron Tatum?
He committed to us then flipped to ousux
He ended up at a JUCO, and now Traylor landed him UTSA

 

It is amazing when some of these guys go elsewhere they become problems that Texas missed. Not all recruiting losses or decommitments are bad. Better to discover early they are not buying in before they sign.

 

Anthony Cook has withdrawn his name from the portal according to reports. It may be that degree is worth something after all. Better to be a valued contributor at UT than a star at Podunk U, also.

 

Not sure the 2018 recruiting thread needed to be bumped for this but good to know.

 

No takers??
Do we boo now or wait until crown capacity allows??

 

I'm going to wait to see how many players disrespect the university and fanbase by ignoring The Eyes.

 

I am guessing at least 90 Percent of the team

 

It will be interesting how many of the fans do also after they see the libretto for The Levee Song. Pretty disturbing lyrics one can sing right along with the Eyes of Texas. Not what America nor Texas represents today. White racism is morally dead.

 

Darn it BO. You got me to look it up, the levee song, wish I hadn’t. Now it’ll come to mind whenever the band picks up.
Happily I have to say, thank God we have come a long way since that, the lyrics in that version. Sadly I have to say, it reminds me of some actions by my long gone relatives.
