Yep, I'm assuming Merrick played a big role in getting Jamabo scheduled.

Somewhat of a curveball from Scout...former Houston coach, Tony Levine, is no longer a candidate to coach TEs and special teams at UT.

Strong has decided to go in another direction.

Strong has decided to go in another direction.

24/7 said Strong has been in contact with an unnamed NFL assistant, but his salary might be a problem. Levine seemed like an ideal hire, I can't think of anyone who fits the need better than him with his ST experience, TE history and ties to the Houston area.

Wasn't he recruited by Harsin? Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Boise St. There's been a rumor that he's coming to Texas too, we'll see.

[ThePop]

We already figured out a few weeks ago that Brewer was the mystery QB everyone was talking about. Burton said we would be entertained when we found out who it was. He also said his family loves Texas (Both Brewer and his sister came here). He fits the bill.

That said, he may actually be going to Boise.

[TFloss32]

Quote from highly-rated 2016 OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite who is currently committed to Oklahoma (24/7):

“I know they’re (Texas) going to offer,” Delance said. “I think if I get the opportunity I’ll take off with it. We will see.”

S DeShon Elliott will be visiting Austin this weekend, per 24/7. He and RB Nick Brossette became buddies at the Under Armour game so he wants to be in town for his official visit and show him around. I don't know if this will be Elliott's official visit as well since he is currently scheduled for the 23rd.

He took only one official visit prior to the current dead period when he tripped down to Austin to see Texas on Dec. 12, so the coming weeks will feature trips out to see his other three finalists -- Oklahoma State on Jan. 16, Texas Tech on Jan. 23, and then Washington on Jan. 30.

It's honestly perplexing to me that UT can't get a quality qb.

Heard might be quality. Who the fuck knows though?

[Blake]

Heard might be quality. Who the fuck knows though?

I know who's not and never was but was starting.

[DMX7]

It's honestly perplexing to me that UT can't get a quality qb.


It's an awkward situation. The kind of guys that Texas recruits DO NOT want to be backups (and usually don't even want to redshirt unless they are real Orangebloods like Heard). So when one guy gets named starter (e.g., Ash), then everyone else wants to sitout/transfer. The problem is that Ash kept starting the season only to get injured 4 or less games into the season. Therefore, we didn't have a large selection of scholarship QBs to go to.

[DMX7]

Heard was redshirting last season no matter what. So once Swoopes became starter after Ash got injured, we literally did not have a scholarship QB backup. Our backup was Trey Holtz (I'm not kidding).

That happens everywhere, Tech included. Is why Stidham came to his senses and decommitted.

but Tech still has two capable QBs on scholly. Hell Ohio St has 3 beasts.

No excuse for Texas.

[DMX7]

Hell Ohio St has 3 beasts.


Well that's my point. Those guys are willing to be backups for a chance to play. Our guys generally are not as willing. Guys just don't want to be backups at Texas whereas obviously many were willing to at Ohio State. When I say "the kind of guys that Texas recruits", I don't mean how highly rated they are, but rather than attitude that if they're not clearly a starter or expected to start soon, then they are leaving. Ohio State guys obviously seem to have a different attitude.

But also, I'm not using it as an excuse. It's inexcusable. I'm just saying that what I think is happening.

24/7 had a chat today, and someone asked if Texas was recruiting any ST players. Bobby said that they weren't recruiting any kickers or punters, but a deep snapper out of Memorial High School in Houston. He didn't come up with a name, but I believe it's Michael David Poujol.

[Hook Em 88]

Also, he was not at the first team meeting yesterday nor has his JUCO coach heard from him.

This should not be an issue but I believe the reason we have problems is that alot of players have a tough time adapting to Austin, just the city in general. Most of these guys come from small towns or places with little to do other than football and could still barely stay out of their own way. Now they come to a city like Austin with countless distractions and they are unable to cope with them. Austin can be a blessing and a curse. It takes a courageous man to conquer a place like Austin and make it work for you and not against you.

Keep in mind this is hearsay, but there was a rumor posted on Inside Texas by a subscriber saying Strong and Watson met with Denton Guyer's head coach last month to talk about QB Jerrod Heard. Basically the meeting amounted to UT needing to simplify their offense (including using Heard's legs) in order for him to be most effective. Something to think about as spring approaches and we ponder who the QB will be and where this offense is going.

Something to think about as spring approaches and we ponder who the QB will be and where this offense is going.

This is promising in the fact that Jerrod Heard will get a shot at competing and taking over the starting position but what is a bit disappointing to me is that the staff would have to reach back to a HS coach to understand what their next move should be regarding the position. Watson is paid some good money and was brought in specifically to make those calls. I don't typically rant but all the moves regarding the QB's haven't been positive and lack certainty.

Here's the article:


Houston Cy Falls defensive tackle Du'Vonta Lampkin (http://247sports.com/Player/Du-Vonta-Lampkin-28078) has been committed to Texas since late-July but the 6-foot-3, 291-pound defender has hinted at possibly taking other official visits.

Lampkin did indeed visit another college town this weekend as he headed up to College Station on Saturday, home of Texas A&M. The Aggies were having their biggest official visit weekend of the year.

However, the No. 331 overall prospect in the country was not on an official visit to A&M himself. Instead, he drove to College Station to hang out with the Aggie commits and targets that were in town.

One of the players Lampkin spent time with was five-star defensive tackle Daylon Mack (http://247sports.com/Player/Daylon-Mack-22227), a one-time A&M commit whose Crystal Ball is still in favor of the Aggies.

As of now, Lampkin has yet to be offered by A&M but he is still being watched closely by the defensive staff as signing day approaches. He was named the District 17-6A Defensive MVP as a senior.

Inside Texas reporting we need to watch out for LSU when it comes to TE Devonaire Clarington.

Same source that mentioned CB Davante Davis would visit Auburn with a commitment from ATH Tim Irvin.

I was cool with losing Irvin. If we lose Davis, then the class is starting to fall apart.

[Vito Corleone]

if we get Hill and Boyd then it's a wash, we get Fields also and the loss of both Davis and Irving are nothing.

We still need to seal the deal with both Boyd and Hill but I feel good about both.

[Vito Corleone]

I'm going to assume we don't get Davis and Majors doesn't qualify.

With that said I think Texas needs to close with 3 DBs, 1 DT, 1 OT, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR

My Guess is

Hill
Boyd
Redwine
Mack
Some OT we know little about
Locksley
Jamabo
Warren
Newsome
Burt

That would seal the deal as this being a top class and one in which coach Strong can build upon for the future.

[TheMex]

Texas needed 2 more DBs and two are decommiting. I say we take four.

All University of Texas athletes, regardless of sport, stand to receive between $4,500 and $5,000 annually starting next fall for the 2015-16 academic year. The final number has not been determined, according to school officials.

“We have to look at what the numbers will be for next year, but it’s probably in that range,” Texas men’s athletic director Steve Patterson said after the vote.

Update on DT Du'Vonta Lampkin from Inside Texas...we all know he's been rumored as a soft commitment for months now, but apparently the hiring of Jay Norvell gave UT more insight on what's been going on behind the scenes.

That rubbed Lampkin the wrong way and he's been planning a National Signing Day flip to Oklahoma ever since. All of the OU staff knew about it (including Norvell) and OrangeBloods received a detailed email on the situation last week. He's still scheduled to be in Austin this weekend, however.
