2013 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

Some rumors out there tonight that OK State has lost QB JW Walsh for the season due to a knee injury.

It's actually a fracture in his leg. It won't require surgery but he's definitely done.

[TFloss32]

Depressing fact of the day. Baylor's defense is dead last in the nation in yards given up per game at 553.

[TFloss32]

This is the best list I could compile for the recruits that visited Austin on Saturday:

2013
QB, Tyrone Swoopes, Whitewright
OL, Darius James, Killeen Harker Heights
OL/DL, Jake Raulerson, Celina
LB, Deoundrei Davis, Cypress Woods
CB, Antwuan Davis, Bastrop
S, Erik Huhn, Cibolo Steele (thanks Pop!)

2014
RB/FB, Daniel Gresham, Fort Worth All Saints
CB, Nick Watkins, Dallas Bishop Dunne
ATH, Chris Lane, Fort Worth All Saints

Forgot to mention that OL Caleb Benenoch and OL/DL Andrew Billings were not in attendance despite some reports out there saying they were.

Mack isn't going anywhere so I might as well support something that has a chance of happening, and that is getting rid of Diaz. I have no idea who to bring in though.

Call me crazy...but I feel like Diaz will be around if Mack doesn't step down. Getting rid of Diaz, although he's been horrific, goes against their promise of three years to one another. Mack blaming another mediocre season on a coordinator also looks very bad and the man is more concerned with his image than anyone. Anxious for December and hoping Mack does the right thing for the program by retiring.

Or the other option is Diaz "moves on" to a smaller job (instead of being publicly fired) much like Bobby Kennedy did with Colorado after the 2010 season. It'd be the smart thing for his agent to put out feelers.

FYI that the UIL is having a big meeting this morning concerning the creation of 6A and 7A classifications. They have also already decided to add a fourth seed to the 3A and 2A playoff brackets starting in 2013-14.

6A is now a reality.

Wow. Surprised at the timing but that's a nice get. Add Scott at that position and it's even better.

Could not have said it better myself

But the real problem is that as long as Mack is still pulling in top classes and filling the stadium then there will be no changes.

Just watch what happens if those stop and you can expect to see that change if Aggsy pull in the classes the did back in the late 80's early 90's. They now have something to sell.

According to IT Jordan Hicks will likely take medical redshirt and sit remainder of year ($).
