2012 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread (+ related news)

Y'all wouldn't poke your noses into a group of strangers in a sports bar, so don't do it here despite being able to hide behind your computer screen. Thanks.

But we aren't strangers and you are broadcasting your conversation on the big screen for all to see and hear.

I like you guys.

So, that makes it ok to do what you're doing? You understand my point. I can't "broadcast" info any differently than I am without going somewhere else other than SpursTalk. This has gone on for almost three years uninterrupted and it's been great for everyone. I could be the guy who starts umpteen different threads, but I don't and I keep to myself. If you genuinely do like it here, then please carry yourself differently and act like it. I'm just asking you and your buds to be cool out of respect.

Here's a quick update on 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny of Little Rock, AK along with some film. He received a lot of attention this past week at Nike's The Opening.

Rumor that OL Andrus Peat will push his visit back a few days in order to allow for Stacy Searels to be in town. Not sure if he's going to stay an extra day to make up for lost time, but it sounds like he'll arrive on Sunday the 24th in the evening or the following Monday morning. Scheduled to leave Tuesday the 26th. OL John Theus mentioned visiting Austin on the 26th so it will be interesting to see how these visits pan out.

I don't want to be insensitive to Coach Searels, but he should be in Austin when a blue chip OT comes to town. Glad to hear the problem has been smoothed over. Theus and Peat are friends, I don't see them being on the 40 at the same time as a bad thing at all.

I hope Connor, Cayleb and possibly Johnathan will all be able to be in town to host Peat and possibly Theus. I wish Peat was spending 3 day weekend in Austin as originally planned, every little bit helps.

Rumors are swirling that 2012 UT commit DL Coco Nut was seen driving around Austin in this picture taken by a pedestrian.



It's hard to tell if this is really Nut in the photo or not, but if true, this could mean serious trouble for UT football.

The car itself does not seem to be expensive, but gorillas cannot afford to buy cars on their zero dollar a year salaries.

If the gorilla in the picture is really the 4 star recruit out of the Brownsville area Zoo, then questions such as "did a UT booster give him the car?" and "who the lets a ing gorilla drive?" will surely surface.

In the meantime, Longhorn fans will have to hope that this is just some gorilla hater throwing it's and hoping it will stick.

Dime piece from the Worldwide Leader: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/re...s-well-opening

Texas isn’t mentioned, but Dime seems like a very likable young man. Of course, OU , Bama, and Bama Aggie are already showing interest.

Connor Brewer is a recruiting machine:

JHopkins247 Justin Hopkins
Andrus Peat tells me #Texas commit Connor Brewer was texting/recruiting him during most of 'The Opening'. Peat could not make the event.

Hopkins is a reporter for Oregon 247.

best advice, tfloss, is to ignore it...

Looks like Peat will be in Austin on Monday the 25th and leave Tuesday the 26th. The bad news is it doesn't sound like his father will be able to make the trip with him and QB Connor Brewer will likely not be there because he has obligations to his high school team on those dates. WR Cayleb Jones should be back from Orlando at that time, though. Little back-and-forth on Twitter between Peat and Theus today talking about their visits to UT. Two five-stars OTs in Austin at the same time?!

AndrusPeat I will be at UT July 25-26

jtheus71
@AndrusPeat there's a good chance I'll be at UT then too...

AndrusPeat
@jtheus71 Leghooo schedule it then big boi!

jtheus71
@AndrusPeat I'm def gonna try to do it now!

Peat and Theus hanging out on the 40 Acres together. It doesn't get any better than that.

OL Curtis Riser has become the 10th UT commitment to accept an invitation to play in the 2012 Under Armour All-American Game. Likely a result of his stellar performance at Nike's The Opening last week.

[ThePop]

I imagine Peat and Theus wouldn't mind playing on the same team. Get it done Mack.

Would be an amazing O-line in this class alone. Peat Estelle Riser Hughes Theus o_o

It'll be interesting to see if some Peat and Theus playing together stories develop after the 26th. It would be an amazing development if it were to happen. To my knowledge, Texas is the only mutual favorite between Peat and Theus.

Hopefully a big weekend for A&M coming up. A lot of recruits visiting. I think Dalton Santos could very well commit. Hopefully Denzel Devall as well.

Have you guys heard anything about Texas maybe giving an offer to Colin Blake? Not sure where this kid stands.

Also, What's going on with DT Donald Hopkins? Kid has an offer from Alabama and many others but none from UT or A&M?

A&M could be looking for for D-line prospects with the news that DT Lamarc Strahan didn't qualify for entry.

Don't get your hopes up about Dalton Santos. The last I heard he is not firmly leaning any direction after decommitting from OSU and is basically just making the rounds. I think it will be closer to the start of the school year before we know anything firm. I'll ask again today and see if there is any new news.

My gut tells me he will bolt for the SEC. His mom was awfully excited when they came calling and it was a big reason they shook OSU.

The Benefactor with some inside information, nice. I'd like to see Santos go to Bama. It would take a miracle at this point for Texas to pursue and offer Santos.

Designated T I get up every morning hoping to hear that Colin Blake has been offered by Texas. Floss, has said before that Texas could continue to evaluate DBs into the season before another offer comes out. Unless Texas thinks they can get in on committed players Daje Johnson or DeVante Harris, Akina likely won't do better than Colin Blake. I think there's more to Blake than we're hearing. Akina loved Blake during spring evaluations, but has now seemingly backed off. I think Akina has some concerns about Blake staying at corner at the next level.

Additionally, some have said that Akina likes where Texas stands with Geno Smith and that is holding up a Texas offer to Blake. I'm very skeptical about Texas and Geno Smith.

The Recruitocosm guys believe that Donald Hopkins won't be offered by Texas unless another DT leaves the program. I'd like to see Cotton leave and Bo Davis offer Donald Hopkins.

Texas recruiting seems to be in a steady holding pattern right now as the coaches work on OOS recruits and wait out attrition.

may have been for the best. i think strahan would have brought some character issues.

i'd be shocked if santos committed.
