Goddamn I hate the NCAA and it's transfer rules.

I met Suddes before at an event and spoke with him at length and frankly am surprised with all the outpouring of support. Thought he was kind of a doofus. But hey, that's just me.

[Mr. Peabody]

Update on DT Chris Nelson of Lakeland, FL from 24/7...he will be flying in on the 24th with both of his parents and will stay the weekend. He's "very excited" about the trip and says he would have to just hate something about UT for him not to flip his commitment. He also mentioned he wants DT Poona Ford to join him and he likes the depth chart currently.

Good news. The lack of DTs recently is a huge concern.

From FB Alex De La Torre:

@ADLT36
Met Coach Moorer earlier. Needless to say, I'm excited to endure a lot of pain.

Chip Brown ‏@ChipBrownOB
If the name I'm hearing for #Texas' offensive coordinator turns out to be the guy, #Longhorns would be getting a good one.

Now, now. He correctly reported something awhile ago.

Name of the game is to always carefully word your tweets or predictions, but Chip did elaborate on OBs that the name he's hearing is Herman from Ohio State.

Nice. At least we know we have Reed and Brown on the DL for next year. That's a good start.

i understand that but 1) that's the sort of tweet anyone could have sent, so without any clarification it lacked any substance and 2) being that chip has been so wrong so often it just begs for commentary

[ColinB]

Great news on Reed.

@BFeldmanCBS
No truth to rumors about #OhioState OC Tom Herman leaving for #Texas.

Oh, I'm agreeing with you. It was like that one tweet that Burton had the night of the banquet and it sent the entire fanbase into a frenzy. Basically said, "Mack will continue to coach UT" but didn't mention anything about timeline. These guys know how to carefully construct their statements.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods saying Strong has spoken with Clemson offensive coordinator, Chad Morris, the past couple of days and he's a hot name right now. The report mentioned it will cost UT $5.2 million + a million dollar salary to get him to make the move. Morris' name is being mentioned for the Vanderbilt head coaching vacancy right now.

We will see how serious they are about bringing in a legit OC. Personally, I don't see them paying the buyout even though they could pretty easily.

That buyout is more than most head coaches.

[TFloss32]

Per OrangeBloods, Texas has offered 2015 OL George Brown, Jr. of Cincinnati, OH.

His father is saying a visit to Austin is now a priority and will be planned soon.

He looked in slow motion against Oregon. He better return and improve.

Cedric and Shiro are going to be lethal in the Texas defense next year. Add to that Dez Jackson and Malcolm Brown and Texas will have one of the best front 4 in college football.
