Didn't anyone think to teach Leonard Fournette how to give a proper "Hook'em Horns"? I can't get over how enthusiastic he looks!

Welcome to the thread.

Thanks Floss, I'm a long time lurker and a big fan of yours. You do a fantastic job!

One thing I've noticed: The kids from Louisiana (especially the guys from St. Augustine) doesn't smile a whole lot. They're looking "tough" and "thuggish" on most pictures. I like that and the mentality. I think I've only seen Fournette smile once, and that was in Tuscaloosa with '15 WR Stanley Morgan, CB Jermaine Roberts and I believe the last was OL Joseph Paul. I think he need to be, in lack of better words, fired up before he smiles.

Interesting to see who drove him to Austin. My guess it's the DC from Augustine.

I also thought that it would be Decarlos Holmes, the DC but I found a comment on Tigerdroppings that said that HC Crutchfield is accompanying LF on this visit.

Not a problem.

24/7 reporting Texas will be hosting a 2014 prospect tomorrow that's high on their recruiting board and already has an offer.

It's not DE Solomon Thomas. Any guesses?

It was DT Courtney Garnett.

More quotes from DT Courtney Garnett who will be in Austin tomorrow through Sunday (24/7). Watch for him to shut it down this weekend:

“I'm leaving home at around 3 a.m. Friday and I'll get to the Texas Relays around 11,” Garnett said. “I'll go to the Relays for a little bit then I'll go over and talk to the coaches. I'm going to the spring game Saturday night, too.”

“I just really want to meet the coaches,” Garnett said. “I know all coaches try sell you on the campus, and every college campus is nice. I'm not really into that. I just want to know if I'll be comfortable if I go to Texas. I want to be able to picture myself there.”

“Texas is No. 1 right now,” Garnett said. “Every school recruiting me, I'm comparing them to Texas. If they're not like Texas, then that's what it is. I honestly think that's where I want to be in the near future, but I'm not 100 percent sure yet. I want to take a look at a few other places.”

“He's (Bo Davis) been showing me a lot of love. That's basically why Texas is No. 1,” Garnett said. “They're more interested in me than any other school.”

“They didn't sign one in this last class and some of their tackles are on their way out,” Garnett said. “That depth chart is looking nice for me to come in and start within the next two years.”

Update on 2015 WR Chad President of Temple (24/7). He will be playing QB in the fall:

“They (Texas) haven't told me a specific day they want me to come down,” President said. “I'm going to call one of coaches pretty soon and see if I can set something up.”

“I've always liked Texas,” President said. “I rooted for them growing up. Everybody who is good should at least think about going to Texas.”

“They had a good recruiting class in 2013 with a lot good athletes and they're off to a good start for 2014,” President said. “I'm looking forward this upcoming season to see how they do.”

“It'll be good because I've always liked playing quarterback,” President said. “I know the routes and the timing and I can be more vocal on the field. I can be a leader at the position.”

Latest with DE/LB Sione Teuhema and his brother, 2015 OL Maea Teuhema of Keller (24/7):

“The whole time we were there [Sione] was saying we should go here,” Maea Teuhema said. “He just kept saying that we should go to Texas. He's basically choosing my college for me, and we both really like Texas.”

“Right now my brother and I are seriously considering going to Oklahoma State, TCU or Texas,” Maea Teuhema said. “That's our top-three right now and that's in no order.”

“Coach Giles compared him (Sione) to Brian Orakpo when he came in,” Maea Teuhema said. “He said Orakpo was 215 [pounds] when he got to Texas and they made him bigger in college. Now he's a beast in the NFL. My brother likes that he sees what he can be at Texas.”

“Before I went there I really looked at the football season from last year and they didn't do really good,” Maea said. “I thought that maybe we shouldn't go there. But the coaches were cool I like the way they ran the offense during the scrimmage."

“We thought the facility was pretty cool,” he added. “Everything at Texas was real nice. We got the offer from Mack Brown himself, which was great. He sat us down in his office and said it right there. We weren't expecting that.”

“We were really happy with how everything happened,” Maea Teuhema said. “Texas is a big deal. It's pretty big to get an offer from them. We like that it's close to home.”

Quotes from RB Leonard Fournette (Nola.com):

"It really doesn't bother me," Fournete said of the tweets. "I know that's what's going to happen and I expect that. I don't mind that. I'm fine with it."

"It was fun," Fournette said of the trip. "It was great to see new people. It was a great atmosphere."

The article also stated, that Fournette wasn't ready to 'award' Texas with one of his officials.
