[Vito Corleone]

If it's hookfin, then I'm happy, but I still say I don't think he is going to be able to put on enough weight to be an effective offensive tackle. However I think he will be a heck of a blocking TE and if he can catch lookout.

I remember Tony Hills was a 5'star TE but got the drop knee and turned into a All American OT. I think Hookfin could be opposite. This of course is based on the assumption that he actually ran the 4.8 40 as was reported when he first come on the radar.

I remember back in the early 90's, the Houston Oilers would come to San Antonio for training camp. A friend of mine was picked up as a free agent and I came out a couple times to watch them practice. The first time I saw Mike Munchak and Bruce Matthews walking off the field and I thought those guys are pro bowl offensive linemen? They just didn't look very big to me, I'm pretty sure I had bigger biceps than both of them. Compare that to 2000 when I was at Fryes in Austin and ran into Leonard Davis, that dude blocked out the sun. He is by far the second biggest human I have ever seen, and only because I saw Andre the Giant in person once.

I really do believe losing out on Cain and Sanders will help us with Zach Evans next year. It sucks for the time being, but grab a grad transfer or a JUCO guy like last year and we'll be fine.

Inside Texas saying OL Javonne Shepherd will officially visit A&M on January 10th, Alabama after that and his last visit will be UT.

They don't believe Shepherd wants to go that far from home, but it's worth watching because Alabama wants 2020 WR Demond Demas badly.

[TFloss32]

Latest on ATH Bru McCoy from 24/7...

- still no reason to believe he's signed with anyone.

- he met with LB De'Gabriel Floyd for about four hours yesterday.

- Kingsbury hire was a huge deal.

- mother loves Texas and is pro Texas.

- father is all in on USC.

- the belief is USC has the edge due to factors out of Texas' control like geography, friends at USC, etc.

Jackson didn’t play today for Pleasant Grove but he met up with Whittington after the game and they were talking and laughing at midfield. I was really excited to see Malik Hornsby live for Marshall. I see the upside everyone raves about and maybe it was just a bad game but he didn’t impress at all. He looked uncomfortable. Credit Aledo’s defense obviously but Hornsby didn’t look the part of a five star kid. Jase McClellan on the other hand.. And someone on the coaching staff needs to check in with the LB from LaVega. That kid is a monster player. His name escapes me but he was number 15 and he was a “dog.” Mean as hell and was on almost every tackle.

The financing arrangement is interesting because it doesn't appear to actually cost UT anything to actually build:


The University of Texas System Board of Regents on Thursday unanimously voted to authorize its flagship university in Austin to arrange for a private group to construct and manage a new $338 million on-campus basketball arena.

The California-based Oak View Group will build the 10,000-seat venue and then convey it back to the university, school officials said. In return, the group will manage the venue, sell its naming rights and collect revenue from concerts and other events. Revenue from managing the stadium will allow the company to recoup its cost, officials said.

I guess the QB meeting didn’t go as planned for Rising. Hope he sticks it out

[Bloeddyr10]

1076526388914593793

In some ways this makes sense to me. I remember reading a few weeks ago (a couple of months maybe), that Rising was somewhat displeased with his situation. Casey Thompson was the Scout team QB so he got all the reps against Texas' 1st team defense and many felt he was probably better prepared to actually play if needed. Maybe part of the reason?

[TheMex]

My friend who knows about this stuff told me that this would be the case, I’ve been expecting this. Don’t be surprised if you see Overshown next.

The fck?

[Vito Corleone]

Overshown is a huge reason I'm feeling optimistic about both our linebacker and safety spots. He is perfect for the 3-3-5 defense. He would be a linebacker who can cover backs and TEs. And he can hit like a truck. If he transfers I'll be pissed.

[Hook Em 88]

The fck?

Dont buy it. You may have some insight but I’m not biting on this. He played a good bit on special teams knowing he had much more experienced players ahead of him. Doubt he leaves now that the LB room is wide open for the taking.

Nothing groundbreaking on ATH Bru McCoy, but 24/7 is still hearing he hasn't signed with anyone.

He spoke with Coach Mehringer very recently and wouldn't be able to do so unless he remained unsigned, or he signed with Texas.

Per Inside Texas, QB Casey Thompson is also in the NCAA transfer portal.

Both he and Rising have been at Sugar Bowl practices and the staff is going to try to keep both.

Rising's father told them he is still considering staying in Austin, and the transfer portal is a good way for these players to test the transfer waters and see if they'll have better options.

In your opinion, would The coaches rather not have had his brother say come join me on social media?
Or is that fine if he wants to walk on? It seems this could be a delicate subject. Josh even envoked reference to their deceased brother indicating that he wanted to see them together if I read his post correctly.

Talk about raw, he needs two years of Juco and to hit the weight room hard, but damn he has a nice frame. I'm pretty sure with a little bit of training he could be a heck of a player. Dude can easily hold 30 or 40 lbs of muscle. Just the fact that he only squats 220 lbs and already weighs 260 tells me he can get a lot better and even a lot faster.

He is a safety and we are stacked with both talent and depth at safety.

Seven safeties on roster good depth there. However in your post you said stacked at DB. IMO quite different than safety alone. No matterit will shake out after all commits are in.
HOOK UM HORNS and a happt New Year.

Very likely imo, if the UT coaches want him.

I don't believe he's an automatic take.

IT thinks Texas will be interested in Jordan Moore if Catalon falls through.

[TFloss32]

I can definitely see Moore competing in Locke's spot, so that makes sense.

Unfortunately, Catalon will probably go elsewhere.

I'd feel better if TCU were the only competition.

Inside Texas mentioned that Texas contacted RB Darwin Barlow of Newton at least twice during the week of the state championships.

Not much to report other than that, but Barlow didn't sign with TCU during the early period.

It's been out there for a long time that Holgo doesn't like it at WVU and he clashes with adminstration. So on the surface a WVU to U of H move makes sense.

Sure, especially now that your first contract is very important and can't be re-negotiated.

First and second round picks are more likely to have their salaries guaranteed too.

Unfortunately, I think kids should enter the draft as soon as they can to start the clock on the second contract.

A 22 year old might be on his first round rookie deal until after year 5. Said player would be 27 and a free agent for the first time.

A 20 year old first round pick would be 25 and entering free agency. A couple years makes a big difference.

But this will all likely change with the CBA expires in 2020.

Yeah nothing we can do but laugh at that. Like any coach would leave the Big 12 for a G5 school unless he’s on the hot seat like Tuberville was when he left TT for Cincy.

Why is he keeping it a secret where he signed? Everyone presumes it's USC, so unless he pulls a shocker and signs with Texas it's a surprise to no one.
