2014 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[The Reckoning]

Pat Forde ‏@YahooForde
There are half dozen fan bases, college and pro, who wanted Greg Robinson fired when he was with their program. Now he's the solution at UT?

mack daddy appeasing his fat cats, imo. he doesn't give a about winning. he's more focused on repaying old favors that netted him his multi mil salary. robinson is probably dodd's golf partner.

I'm hoping we give Mack enough rope to hang himself.

For that don't know yet, QB David Ash will be evaluated through the week due to his head injury at BYU and RB Daje Johnson is out.

[The Reckoning]

i say put in swoopes and start giving him reps

[rkell87]

i say put in swoopes and start giving him reps

exactly, don't wait until case throws three ints, just give it to swoopes and if he plays as well as ash ever has just let him stay in after ash comes back, it's time to change some things and put in the higher ceiling guys instead of the higher floor guys

[ThePop]

Why is a&m still recruiting Darion Johnson?

Just heard SI expose on Oklahoma State apparently alleges Larry Porter paid players during his time there.

I still don't know why Mack made that hire knowing his reputation there and at LSU. Desperate times, I guess.

Robinson can't fix bad fundamentals overnight


The crux of the deepest problems imo...

Max Olsons twitter:
SI accusing Texas' Larry Porter of paying OSU players in 2002-04. Porter says accusations "absolutely not true. None of that ever happened"

Hadn't seen this site before, but pretty cool as it changes weekly. Mack climbed to #2 very quickly after BYU:

So Gruden is getting thrown out a lot for the next HC position from some "insiders."

[lolwat]

Do. Not. Want.

[pgardn]

So Gruden is getting thrown out a lot for the next HC position from some "insiders."

Does anyone actual understand what Gruden is saying?

At one moment he over simplifies: "This guy is here to play football, he is a football player" ok...I figured this.

And then ultra complex: " This is the best example I have seen of the joker underplaying the tango flare by optioning to his L-back". wtf...?

Would he actually speak to kids like this?

First video of Greg Robinson at practice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqcXl...ature=youtu.be

Twice the age of Diaz, but seems a lot more energetic, even without cleats on.

[rkell87]

so...any concern about losing guys due to BYU? I know we have a few kids going to the ole miss game and if it looks like it did last week it won't be good.

Or maybe it's so bad they think can step immediately in and start.
But probably not.

The only guys I'm worried about losing are the guys wearing the uniform right now.
