Great pickup for the Sooners today (if he can get his grades right):
WR, Troy Metoyer, Whitehouse (6-2, 198)

Big commitment for the Horns last night:
ATH, Quandre Diggs, Angleton (5-10, 188)
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...re-Diggs-71957
**For those of you that don't know him, he's the younger brother of CB Quentin Jammer of the San Diego Chargers. Good thing the Horns were able to wrap this one up, he seemed to be getting more and more popular by the week. Look at his offer sheet. He would be a five-star prospect if he were two inches taller.

Big time visitor coming to Austin next weekend. LB James Vaughters out of Georgia will be making the trip with his father. Hopefully Coach Muschamp will use that Georgia connection to win him over.

So what are your feelings concerning UT's QB situation? I know that Brewer was being looked at considering he is from Austin and the bloodlines but with Colt's younger brother coming and Ash's being touted by some services as UT's #1 QB target why is the lost of Brewer neccessarily bad/unhappy news? Unless of course stockpiling any and all talent is a primary goal for any school. Seems that UT wasn't pushing very hard for him considering they only were offering him grayshirt status and all. In an earlier post you even talked about that being a slap in the face of Brewer and wishing him a great senior year that would then force UT to offer hin the position straight up.
Just wondering since I really haven't kept up with UT's recruiting process. I usually get filled in come August of each year and roll with it.
I'm not happy in the sense that Texas can't make room for the guy and he will be playing for a rival in Texas Tech. I was more or less just typing out loud (I'm not truly unhappy, just disappointed). I understand that recruiting is a numbers game and you can't sign everyone. However, the current staff has a great track record when it comes to recruiting and developing QBs, so I trust that they see something special in David Ash and he's the guy for them.
About the "slap in the face" comment... I said that before David Ash committed to the Horns and when I wasn't sure what the coaching staff was going to do for the quarterback position. I thought that there was a chance that they weren't going to take a quarterback at all for 2011. At the time, I just felt like the grayshirt offer was one of those things where Brewer would think, "you're not making me a priority because you want other guys before me, but you still expect me to suit up for you because I'm a legacy." I'm happy that Greg Davis personally met with Brewer and was flat out honest with him, though. Texas didn't leave Brewer hanging and that's good to know.
Thanks for the input. I went into yahoo and checked out Ash. This dude, if he develops, could be a absolute stud. I would like for him to follow Colt's example and put on some weight. Looks a little skinny at 6-4 and 195 lbs. And I'm with you about a very good QB going to one of your major compe ors. It's not like the old days where you stockpile all the talent due to the amount of scholarships available.
This class has been a real gem. Mack and Co. need to keep things rolling and get into the BCS again this coming season. The Sooners seemed to have fallen off recruiting in TX and are losing players out of their own state to UT, too. Piling on when you have the chance is what I would like to see. The Sooners wont be down for long since they have such a tradition and will eventually make a comeback. Take advantage while you can.
Thanks for your input on UT recruiting and evaluating the available players. That takes a lot of work and you need to be acknowledged for your efforts.
Hook 'em
It's amazing what beating Oklahoma four out of five times will do for your recruiting momentum. Texas definitely has the upper hand at the moment, but you're correct about things being cyclical. However, I do feel as if Muschamp has elevated Texas' ability to pull in top recruits. His recruiting prowess and passion for the game is helping the Horns sign prospects that they may not have had a chance with otherwise.
Not a problem at all. I enjoy passing along any information I can. We're getting into the slower part of recruiting season, but hopefully Texas can get one or two more guys by Easter. Glad you enjoy the thread and keep checking back for updates.
Please don't take this as a negative but I have a question for you and any 'Horn fan out there.
As stated Muschamp has helped the D in recruiting. How is Davis doing? Over the years I have not been a fan of his. In the beginning I thought the O was too conservative though since Colt's arrival it has opened up more. I also thought that when Vince was here he was just a man among boys and literally toyed with the oposition his last two years or so. But lately on this board I keep hearing about our inability to recruit RBs since the offensive is more pass oriented. Charles was the last real quality back that we have had, though injury has played a part in the Horns lack of a real running game. But it seems that the top RBs are shying away from UT because they think that they wont get the touches that they want or need to be successful. And lets face it these recruits have their eyes set on the NFL so they will go where they can be showcased best.
Is Davis's offensive scheme too pass oriented so as to make UT not a good fit for those top RBs? I don't think he is going anywhere since it is my firm belief that he is litereally tied to the hip of Mack so thinking that he might be replaced is foolish. IMHO
Though we beat the 'Huskers to get to the BCS le game I think our lack of offensive flexibility was exposed by them. For the 'Horns to just score only 13 points and win it that late in the 4th Q didn't bode well for their chances against Alabama. That worried me going into the game but after the 5th play of the game I just relaxed and hoped that they would represent themselves well. And they did just that. I was proud that they didn't quit since it would have been so understanding if they had.
Just wondering.
Big news...CB Josh Turner of Oklahoma City Millwood will be making a trip to Austin for the weekend of the Spring Game. James Vaughters this weekend and Josh Turner next weekend.
Found out this morning that LB James Vaughters of Georgia will NOT be making it in to Austin this weekend because of a death in the family. He says he will re-schedule to a later date.
There will be a lot of 2010 commitments in town this weekend for a meeting. The list includes DE Jackson Jeffcoat and TE Darius Terrell (to name a few). A possible 2011 commitment is also making his way to Austin this weekend. DE Cedric Reed of Cleveland will be in town with his father to check out practice, the campus and the surrounding area of the city.
“I told (my father) I wanted to go to one of their practices and we planned when we were going to go. I want to see how they practice, go up there and see Austin. I’ve been around campus but I haven’t been all around town, but hopefully we can do that this weekend.”
He will hopefully also be spending lots of time with DE Jackson Jeffcoat to talk about his recruitment and get a feel for what his future could be like at UT.
“I’ll definitely try to get to talk to him. I already kind of know him (from AAU and visits to UT games), so I’ll talk to him and ask him some questions.”
When asked about the current state of his recruitment and the thought of playing for Texas:
"I like Texas a lot. It’s the home state school. They’ve got a winning tradition, the coaches are great, the academics are good, it’s not too far from home."
He also mentioned that he was not close to a decision and had no clear-cut favorite, but he'd rather make a commitment "sooner than later." He reiterated that he has no reservations about prolonging his recruitment in order to make an informed decision (even if that means committing during football season). He's surrounded by a heavy Aggie influence and we'll have to wait and see how this one shakes out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit of a surprise on this one...LB Anthony Wallace of Dallas Skyline will be making his way to Austin with his family on Easter weekend for the annual Spring Game. Everyone seemed to be thinking that Wallace was on the outside looking in at this point because the 2011 class already has three LBs committed and Texas is in hot pursuit of LB James Vaughters out of Georgia. However, Wallace has been speaking with Coach Bruce Chambers at least once a week since the first Junior Day in February.
When asked about the scholarship situation and what Texas is telling him:
"They say compe ion is going to make the best players. They’ve mentioned that they’re getting kind of full but I can still come. That would be where the best comp is."
When asked about Oklahoma supposedly being the frontrunner in his recruitment:
"Everybody is really even. None of that is true."

The Longhorns picked up commitment #19 yesterday:
DT, Quincy Russell, San Antonio Sam Houston (6-3, 280)
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...-Russell-99665
EDIT: Quincy Russell de-committed this afternoon. Good thing he did it quickly and not in February.

Here's the official 19th commitment and it's arguably the best offensive lineman in the country. He's got five-star and four-year starter written all over him. The only prospect that could top his commitment would be RB Malcolm Brown of Cibolo Steele. HUGE get for the Horns.
OT, Christian Westerman, Hamilton (Chandler, Arizona) (6-5, 288)
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...esterman-69139
Guy looks like a 5 star all the way, but OTs almost never start all 4 years.
Nice, I was afraid we wouldn't get Westerman as an OOS guy. Any news on the kid Vaughters from GA? How about Brown?
If he's not a five-star prospect, I'm not sure who else is. Ideally you don't want your linemen to have to start as freshman. However, I've read a lot of articles where many scouts think he was ready for the collegiate level as a junior in high school. He dominated camps wherever he went. The Texas coaches would like for him to enroll early, so we'll see what happens come Fall of 2011.
James Vaughters had a visit to Austin set up the weekend before Easter, but had to cancel because of a death in the family. Looks like him and his father have re-scheduled for a later date in May. Texas is now 1 of 9 schools on his current list and he doesn't even have an official offer from the Horns. That's a huge compliment to Texas and I'm confident they'll be in it until the end. I feel as if he's truly looking at only 4 schools; Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Texas. This kid is Muschamp's priority and I feel good about our chances (especially if Vaughters gets to Austin soon).
Not much news on Malcolm Brown. He's been to Austin a couple of times since the first Junior Day and rumor has it that he'll be in town this weekend for the red carpet treatment. Some think he could commit as early as this weekend (especially since Christian Westerman is now on board), but the overall feeling is he will announce in late April after his high school's spring practice comes to an end.
So Texas now has 19 commitments! Amazing.
If Texas does take 25 I would like to see them finish up the class with:
1. Malcolm Brown RB
2. Josh Turner CB/ Avery Walls S/ Nick Waisome CB
3. Cedric Reed DE/ Jermauria Rasco DE
4. James Vaughters LB/ Anthony Wallace LB
5. Aaron Green RB/ Brandon Williams RB/ Hershel Sims RB/ DeAnthony Thomas RB
6. Matthew Hegarty OT/ Marquis Anderson DT/ Quincy Russell DT
RB Brandon Williams of Brookshire Royal switched his commitment from Baylor to Oklahoma yesterday.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...illiams-105895
The #1 DE in Texas gave a commitment to the Horns today. #20 is in.
DE, Cedric Reed, Cleveland (6-5, 240)
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...ric-Reed-85195
Just saw that, big time pickup for Horns. Now just lock up Malcolm Brown, possibly Vaughters, maybe Hegarty etc.
That's off top the number 1 DE in Texas, the least we could do, mandatory stuff, kickin up dust is a must style
hagertys no big deal, vaughters just lost to the numbers
I want 2 out of 3 of Brown, Green or Lasco
Lasco would be a damn good pick up out of LA.
This thread is really obnoxious, just like UT fans.
Tech has a pretty decent class lined up.
