No one is talking about changing Texas Fight!, but since there is no more aTm on the schedule .......
Four-star cornerback Jamier Johnson commits to Texas Boom!! Chose the Horns over USC, Michigan, Ohio State and others.
#2 CB Domani Jackson has Texas in Top Ten Texas Longhorns Make the Cut for No. 2 Cornerback in the Country
"The staff stressed academics to Johnson and his mother, and that particular pitch resonated with the family." I guess they did not get the "Academics do not matter, we will have you in the NFL in 3 years" message. This shows good character and a well focused goal oriented person. That makes up a winner.
I miss Joe Fan's recruiting updates. For Sure. In the meantime, I really appreciate all you guys (you know who you are) pitching together to fill in the information gaps. Its super nice to get football/recruiting news coming in. And congrats TH and staff on the latest commitment, JJ. He's a good one.
HUGE. Excellent highlights below both in the quality and his play. Dude is like Velcro, the best kind. But will also take your head off (see 2nd or 3rd highlight). These kinda guys are the players behind the superstars that win championships, not to get ahead of myself.
Bystander, I'll reserve judgement on the kid until someone shows me what he did against Earl's godson's defense.
With little fanfare, Tom and crew are putting together a top-10 level class (according to Rivals at least). We could still use quite a few more big dudes in the trenches, but our skill positions and backers are looking pretty good.
Need 3 or 4 more linemen 1 or 2 more DE 1 or 2 linebackers 1 or 2 Dbs 1 more WR 1 RB Then this class is set.
I can think of 2 lineman from Fort Worth that would help solidify this class! I hate to say it but I think Hermans success in the 2021 class will be measured by what happens with the Brockmeyers.
Well, if the class is ranked, hypothetically, at #8 the day before signing day, and then on signing day every verbal signs, AND THEN, Tommy and James sign Longhorn LOI's I would think the horns would go to #5 or 6. Depending on how much separation exists between the Horns at 8 and #'s 6 and 5. There is no question the measurement of success in 2021 recruiting, the degree of success, will be influenced by where the Brocks' play. The thing that will haunt TH and hornfans is the fact that before the recruiting process began in earnest both of these young men were Longhorns through and through. So if TH loses the recruiting battle when he began with a big lead, how and why did TH lose the recruiting battle? TH will be asked that question ad nauseum.
Yeah, I mean our QB room is just trash. Only got the top two in Texas last time. Where is our next Marvin Kristynik? SMH.
Who said we're trash? Mayfield (Heisman trophy winner), Murray (Heisman trophy winner), Hurts (QB of a national championship team and runner-up in the Heisman race to the QB of a national championship team) and two recent 5-star QB's : Spencer Rattler and Caleb Williams. It sounds elite to me. Are we? Lay it out side by side.
Over the last 3 years our problem was the OC and lack of direction/production. Yes Sam has produced but he is doing a lot with his legs. Luckily he has not been damaged and it is pure luck. He is built like a linebacker and that helps too. Because we have been mediocre at best on D, it has not allowed for backup QB experience either. I personally think Roschon is going to be a monster at RB if all things gel. Unless we can get vertical and explosive on the pass stuff, we will lose at least 1 of the current QB's next year. All this SNAFU with athletes demands and poor leadership from the top, perhaps we lose more. An athletic scholarship at UT is worth far more than what some of these players realize. Just my 2 cents.
I haven't seen all the film on all these guys. (Other than Joe Fan who has...?) But, Billy Bowman sure looks like an electrifying playmaker who will light it up.
So I guess CDC made his statement about the Eyes of Texas He sort of apologized for it but then said we are not changing it He suggested that maybe they study the history of it first before complaining again, and perhaps find a different way to look at it instead of always assuming the worst And he said it all in a considerate fashion Was this how y'all saw it too?
Apparently some of the players will not participate But my guess is that the singing will be louder and more full of enthusiasm than ever before. My sense is that the silent majority will use this opportunity to finally let their collective voice be heard, via song. It will be an odd dynamic for sure as certain players run off the field (pouty faced?) while some stay. But, as with all things, we will see.
And we should not cheer AT ALL when he makes a play. He's now a true mercenary. The Eyes of Texas is about love. He hates it. He won't accept any other possibility except hate. Just like Kaepernick. No possibility that the flag and the anthem is being presented as icons of the IDEA OF AMERICA AND THOSE WHO DIED FOR IT. Nope, the only possibility is hate. And if you say patriotism, then you are a racist. That's it. Think like us or else we won't play or worse, we will destroy you and equate you to the KKK (even though Robert Byrd was forgiven).
