2014 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

UT v Iowa is a mediocre, nearly unwatchable match up.

Fitting end to the season for the horns.

And possibly a fitting end to Mack's career. He'd be going against Greg Davis.

Coach Royal had his headstone installed recently:

I would agree it's medicore at best. But for better or worse, how much you want to bet that matchup doesn't happen? These projections have changed quite a bit almost every week.

Vote for Anthony Fera who is a Groza award finalist, and pretty much our team mvp.

Inside Texas reporting 2015 RB Ronald Jones of McKinney North will be at the game on Thursday. He should be offered at that time.

So much win in this picture. What is the guy on the one yard line doing?

Sniffing out truffles?

The player who is laying there on the left may be funnier.

-DE Trey Carter of Dallas Pinkston has committed to OK State.

-2015 DT Du'Vonta Lampkin of Cypress Falls has committed to OU.

I like the GSU player #15 or 19 in the lower right who likes like he is still waiting for the play to start.

Changes can't come fast enough

[TFloss32]

Per 24/7, DE Kolin Hill of Schertz Clemens was at practice last night and met with the staff. He said the visit went about as well as it could have, but he was not offered. He is expected to return to Austin tomorrow night for the Tech game.

Update on 2015 RB Ronald Jones of McKinney North (OrangeBloods). He will be in town tomorrow and lived in Austin for 11 years before moving. He rushed for 2,406 yards and 39 TDs this season:

"I guess just the speed, the fact that I can take it to the house at any second," Jones said. "I guess they see potential. It's a good feeling when a school like Texas comes knocking on your door."

"I need to get stronger, get better with ball security, switch the ball," Jones said. "And sometimes I'm a little hesitant on my first couple of carries. But that's just nerves. And I want to improve on my pass blocking in certain situations."

"Johnathan Gray is out so I guess I'll be watching Malcolm Brown. I'm looking for a good experience," Jones said. "I'm actually from Austin, but the ironic part is I've never been to a Longhorn game. I just want to see what the atmosphere is like."

"Honestly, I really don't know (of any favorites)," Jones said. "I'm pretty open to my decision. I'm open to anything right now."

I want to take inventory of everyone Texas has lost this season to injuries

Starting right tackle Josh Cochran before the season began.
Starting QB in week 2
Starting OLB in the same game
Starting DT
Starting RB
Starting MLB

Every one of these injuries are season ending and some are likely career ending. I'm proud of how this team has overcome all this adversity to be in the position to play for a conference le.

It's ridiculous. Is this just things evening out for the stretch of 10 win seasons when injuries were just an afterthought or do we need a new strength and conditioning coach? Or something else...

[pgardn]

The liver is in the abdominal cavity. A rib would have to pierce his thoracic cavity via the diaphragm or punch it down to mess with the liver I would think. If this is what happened, the kid is lucky to be alive.

Any doctors heard of this? Man I hope this did not happen.

Just looking at the strength and conditioning coach, I'd say it is part of the problem.
