I'm looking at Fera kick field goals right now.
OL/DL Jake Raulerson had his Army All-American ceremony yesterday:
I'm looking at Fera kick field goals right now.
Raulerson is working it
And he has fans
I have some pics I'll post later. Huge recruiting win IMO. Of course they won't be as good as whatever the mex has
Really curious to hear some of the recruits' comments after attending the game.
Cole Luke @coleluke11
@DarriusMcCants They played jump around and I've never seen a whole team go to the middle of the field and go crazy. It's nuts bro.
Jake Raulerson @JakeRaulerson55
Even if it was a loss.. yelling "Texas Fight" with 102k of my closest friends was the coolest thing ever #hookem # o ame
Jamal Adams @ThaJudgeKO
This game is too live !!!!!!!!!!!!! #Hookem
KD Cannon
@IAmTheOne_9: UT game was CRANK!!!! They had 101,851 CRAZY Fans Last Night
DT A'Shawn Robinson did end up making the game last night.
Did he have anything to say? Losing him would be rough.
I was at the game, every recruit had to have loved being there. It was INSANE.
In response to someone asking if it was the best environment he's been in. Remember Benenoch was the one who loved the a&m florida game enough to say that he wasn't sure if UT was still his top team.
Caleb Benenoch @CalebBenenoch79
@jmontalbano33 it was stupid intense bro lol #1 hands down
I'm sure there are better pics out there, but I might as well share a few I took.
Notice Darius James and Celeb Benenoch. Malcolm Brown is towards the left on crutches.
Here is Raulerson standing next to who I think is Andrew Billings. Derick Roberson is close to the goal post

Love it, thanks guys.
AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas football recruits in attendance for the Longhorns’ 48-45 loss to West Virginia got some extra entertainment out of their night, courtesy of the Mountaineers.
Late in the game Saturday night, a feud began between West Virginia players, including quarterback Geno Smith, and a group of Texas commits and recruits.
“Geno and a few other guys, they were turning around and punking us. I’ve never seen that before,” said Texas wide receiver recruit Jacorey Warrick(Houston/Cypress Falls).
Warrick said he believed the war of words began after Smith fumbled in the fourth quarter, his second of the night.
During games, visiting Texas recruits and their family and friends are seated on the east side of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, behind the visiting team’s bench. When Smith returned to the sidelines, the Heisman Trophy frontrunner heard some jeers from the fans seated directly above him.
“There was this one dad who was yelling, “Geno! Geno!” after the turnover,” Warrick said. “He was like, ‘Way to handle the ball, Geno!’ That’s when it kind of started. Geno turned around and said, ‘Have you ever played football before?’ It was crazy.”
Some trash-talking between the recruits and West Virginia players ensued.
“The West Virginia players were talking trash and we were talking trash back,” said Katy (Texas) Seven Lakes offensive line recruit Caleb Benenoch. “They were yelling, throwing the horns down, talking a lot of smack.”
No Texas recruit was more vocal during the feud than A'Shawn Robinson. The Fort Worth (Texas) Arlington Heights defensive tackle commit was sitting in the front row on Saturday night and had plenty to say to Smith.
“West Virginia was talking noise to us, and A’Shawn was defending Texas,” said Texas commit Jake Raulerson (Celina, Texas/Celina).
Before attending Saturday’s game, Robinson had raised some doubts about his pledge to Texas after taking an official visit to Florida State last month.
When sitting among his fellow commits, though, he made his allegiances clear.
“That’s a good sign,” Raulerson said. “He said ‘Geno, I’ll see you next year.’ He was having a great time. I asked him if he was going to come to Texas. He said, ‘Yeah, don’t worry about it.’”
Unfortunately for Robinson, Smith is a senior. He and the Mountaineers got the last laugh and earned the victory, but they didn’t earn many admirers among the section of Texas recruits.
“Not a fan of west Virginia's players, no class at all, almost embarrassing,” Texas receiver commit Jake Oliver (Dallas/Jesuit) wrote on his Twitter account after the game.
Added Warrick: “I didn’t like it. Of all the games I’ve been to at any school, we usually sit behind the visiting team. If something is said to them, they usually don’t respond or anything. That kind of caught me off-guard.”
Though several recruits said they thought the back-and-forth jawing was harmless and funny, the future Longhorns now have some extra motivation when Texas travels to West Virginia in 2013.
If I was WVU's coach and I found out about this I'd be pissed. Smack talking recruits is beyond stupid.
ATH Chevoski Collins has committed to Texas this morning.
“I’ve been knowing their coaching staff for a really long time,” Collins said. “I have a really good relationship with Bo Davis, [Duane] Akina, Darrell Wyatt, Mack Brown. There’s just really good things they’ve got going on at Texas.”
"It's been good, just to know that I have the opportunity to play at the next level," Collins said. "Just getting recruited was a real good, fun process and everything. I had a coach helping me the whole way, [Livingston secondary] coach [Stevie] Moore, he was helping me the whole time. Whenever I needed something, I knew I could call him no matter the time of day, he's going to be there for me."

Quote from '14 OT Cameron Robinson:
“It’s LSU, Alabama and Texas,” he said. “I’m kind of leaning more towards LSU and Alabama, but I still like Texas. I’m just leaning a little that way right now.”
Haven't been able to access the site this morning but that's great news after a tough loss.
Texas comes in at #15 in the coaches' poll:

BCS standings if they came out today:

Much needed change on the depth chart; Mykkele Thompson has replaced Adrian Phillips at strong safety.
More quotes and film from ATH Chevoski Collins:
"It's been a long journey going through everything. All the schools I've been to I've seen a lot of things. I just felt like narrowing it down to my best fit and I'm ready to spend the next four years of my life at Texas," Collins said.
"When I went to UT I felt like family. It's close to home and my family can see me play," Collins said.
"I knew, but I prayed about it and I woke up one morning and knew I wanted to be a Horn."

maybe he woke up next to a ut co-ed.
Interesting stat from Saturday for those that missed it. First time in 57 games that UT won the turnover battle and lost. Not capitalizing on that last West Virginia turnover (drive ended with the bad snap) was obviously huge.
What is Collins projected as? A corner? RB?
Safety. Luke is the lone corner prospect left on the board for the time being.
The Longhorn Network just posted on Facebook that they will have the Iowa State game on November 10th.
