    Any word in practice on Fitzgerald? I heard from some a few years that he was the rawest, most under the radar recruit in the glass. Many were excited about his potential.

    I was a fan of the coaching change. He did NOT get it done. But...

    He was also a very personable man that loved these young men. And sometimes loyalty gets in the way of smart decisions for these guys. I had a boss of mine once get demoted because he went to bat for me in a political mess. I was getting screwed, he had my back, and it cost him. Looking back, I wish he would have stayed the course. I love him for it, but I wish he hadn't done what he did. I think some of our attrition can be attributed to to that.

    Good point. Lose the battle, win the war is better than the reverse. Usually it is a war of attrition.

    I too am a very loyal.....fighting so....person, so I do understand your main point. It was a complicated set of circumstances, no doubt. I'd like to believe Charlie, if he does care for those guys and was being wise, would be/have been the first to tell them to stay the course, stay positive, take advantage of this opportunity you've been given here, and work your tails off for the next guy.
    And they could say No Charlie no...We're coming with you to South Florida! Lol

    We have been told WR Elijah Higgins was a heavy Stanford lean
    Apparently that has changed
    Maybe he was told not to expect admission? I dont know
    But he has apparently re-opened his recruiting and is supposed to be attending our game with USC

    From Super K of TFB --

    I know some of you have been wondering when the most recent “shhh” is set to be announced.

    I had heard that it was originally expected to happen a week or so after Bryan Carrington posted the shhh. I’m told that the delay is due to the production of a commitment video.

    That's a helluva two way player! I wonder who the number 1 ranked DT-QB is.

    Bru McCoy is such a badass, I don't think I've seen a guy that is legit 5 star at two different positions.

    Bru is pretty tight with many of the USC players, however if Texas beats USC and goes on to have a solid season while USC has a mediocre season. You never know.

    Smith has tallied 11 TDs in two games. Eleven. He's caught, rushed, and returned 11 scores total and it's not even September yet.

    A player is a player, I don't care what his competition is, this kid can compete. He is special, and I really hope he sticks with his commitment.

    247's "Director of Recruiting" Steve Wiltfong thinks we are currently a close 2nd to Washington for 5-star DT from Hawaii Faatui Tuitele, ahead of Bama and tOSU

    But EJ Holland says --
    Unfortunately for the Longhorns, Washington also took advantage of the situation and has emerged as the team to beat here. Texas will need a big season, a strong official visit and Jake Langi to use his Polynesian ties to press and close.

    We need to have Texas Lavalava day when he makes his official.

    after watching this, I think every game day should be ladies lavalava day.

    I had a dream last night Jake Smith was in a burnt orange uni and torching people all over the field.
    ....maybe I've been too into this lately?
    Anyway, hope it was prophetic.
