Texas won 7 games last year with two losses to teams we had no business losing to.

If Texas just beats the teams it beat last year and cleans things up enough to beat Tech and Maryland, this will be a 9 win team. However, I think Texas has a legit shot at beating every team on their schedule including Oklahoma and TCU. I would be shocked if Texas wasn't a 10 win team next year.

Tim Brewster is working overtime trying to work on recruits, it's tough when you have to recruit at a place that has as much winning tradition as France has vs. Germany.

[TheMex]

Thought that it was interesting that IT mentioned that A&M is pushing recruits to commit giving them false momentum. Just something to keep in mind as this recruiting season moves forward.

Thought that it was interesting that IT mentioned that A&M is pushing recruits to commit giving them false momentum. Just something to keep in mind as this recruiting season moves forward.

I think they have a solid strategy of trying to get kids wrapped up early and/or before the season starts in case things don't go well.

As long as they aren't reaching on any of their takes (and they aren't), I'd keep pushing hard for commitments in hopes that it's easier to hang on to them in the fall.

The early signing period helps in case you go 6-6 or 7-5, much like UT this past season.

DB Chris Steele's thoughts on Texas (OrangeBloods)

“I talk to coach (Jason) Washington literally every single day. I was on FaceTime with coach (Todd) Orlando (recently),” Steele said. “They let me know numerous times I’m their number one priority at my position and they want me to get to Austin, Texas.”

“I do plan on getting there soon, during spring ball hopefully,” Steele said. “They let me know I’m their number one priority, so I want to get there to Austin to see what it’s like.”

“I love coach Washington. He’s one of my favorite coaches in all of college football,” Steele said. “He definitely knows his stuff. Has put dudes in the league and I think that will continue.”

“I know it’s definitely not College Station. That’s a small town. I had a good time there, but Austin is a really big city. I heard it’s really nice,” Steele said. “One of my buddies just visited (DeGabriel Floyd). He told me he had a blast. I’m looking forward to getting down there.”

“At the end of the day, I’m going to go where I need to go to be most successful in football and life after football,” Steele said. “If i find a home outside of California, I don’t have a problem with that.”

"It’s a really great offer," Gbenda said. "I like what Tom Herman has going on down there."

“The visit was nice,” Gbenda said. “I really liked the education part because we sat down with an education advisor, and she really explained how it would work. And I really liked the position talk with Coach (Todd) Orlando.”

“My interest in Texas is very strong,” Gbenda said. “I like the way they are good program that really has a sense of family. Coach Orlando was so real with me in that sense.”

Rivals reporting that S Kenyatta Watson of Loganville, GA is down to Notre Dame and UT with a decision coming soon.

"I am really looking forward to making a decision and being able to slow down with the phone calls, dealing with the interviews and just being able to focus on my team," said Watson.

"I just want to settle down and get back to focusing only on training and getting ready for next season. I am sure yet when I will be making a decision, but it will be pretty soon. I am getting close."

"It is going to be one of those schools whenever I feel I am ready to commit. They both are strong in education and football, so I feel I can do well at both schools."

"I can see myself at Notre Dame and Texas for the next three to four years, so it will be a very tough decision."

"It is really a lot of back and forth between the two schools," said Watson. "I think about Texas, then it is Notre Dame, so it is not one school over the other right now."

"I talk with my family about it and both schools look very good. Each has what I am looking for, I have not made up my mind yet."

"Coach Lyght has been where I am and he has been where I want to be. He has played in the Super Bowl, he has played in the Pro Bowl, he has been recruited, so he is a big part of why Notre Dame is one of my top schools."

"The education and what it can do for you is big also. It can take you a long way."

"I want to major in Kinesiology and Texas has that, so I like that a lot," said Watson. "I like their educational program and football program overall."

"When you look at statistics, they could be called DBU too. They have produced a lot of great defensive backs and coach [Jason] Washington thinks I could be one of those guys. He really likes how I could fit into their secondary."

"I can't say when (I will commit) yet," said Watson. "If I knew, I would be committed already. I think it will happen soon, but I don't know how soon."
