Ha we just got like 10 commits in the past week or so. Still, this may be the biggest commit.
The Texas Spring Game is going to be re-aired tonight on ESPNU at 9 p.m. CST.

We got like 5 and I wasn't blown away with the quality. This kid is legit though.
Who is the backup plan if Hansen goes to OU?
Kyle Allen from Scottsdale is the only other QB with an offer right now but that is probably unlikely. A&M is already actively recruiting Brandon Harris out of Bossier City, LA and he seems to be the likely option if Hansen chooses OU.
I really like Jerrod Heard and I think he's far and away the best QB in Texas in '14 so that's a shame you guys wrapped him up so quick. A&M should have a good shot at Kyler Murray in '15 if they choose to do so and still have Matt Davis and Kenny Hill in the fold so I'm not too worried about the QB spot. Davis has looked great this Spring. I expect Stewart to go the MLB route but if he doesn't then there's him as well.

Quotes from LB Otaro Alaka of Cypress Falls after committing to Texas (HornsNation):
"It feels good to be a Longhorn," Alaka said. "I just want to thank God first of all and just thank my coaches, parents and teammates for everything. I just felt like I was ready to pick Texas. They have a great atmosphere, great people and great academics. I just really liked their coaches."
"[Friday Night Lights] did kind of did make it tougher, but really, I just knew," Alaka said. "I kind of knew since Sunday. A&M is a really good school as well. I don't think I could've gone wrong with either of them."
"He (Manny Diaz) sounded really excited and he was really happy for me," Alaka said. "It just feels great to be in this class. I've got to keep on working hard and try to do a little recruiting myself now."
Saw where Harris finally got that LSU offer. I don't know if that's one he's been waiting on, but he's supposed to be in Baton Rouge this weekend.

QB Jerrod Heard has been named a U.S. Army All-American.
If you haven't heard, Google Fiber is coming to Austin and its bringing the LHN with it.
Update on LB Andrew Beck from Inside Texas...apparently Beck told the Texas coaches while he was on campus that he was going to make a decision directly after his Stanford trip even though he let the media know he was thinking of committing in July. Bascially, him shutting it down at this point isn't a direct reflection of his unofficial visit to Stanford last weekend as this was part of the plan all along. I do think he fits their style of play better but we'll see what happens this evening at 6 p.m. CST.
Derick is a "free spirit". One day he's very happy that he committed to Texas the next he's telling people he's not. He likes to stir up trouble on the regular....hope he grows out of that because we expect him to lead our defense to a hs state le game this fall. Some of that stuff on him waffling on his offer has some merit...not a lot though. I love the kid because he brings that edge that some teams need.

Floss...I'm glad you finally got an avatar...but that makes me sick
I don't think Roberson is going anywhere. Of course if we have a bad season all bets are off.
His twitter pic is now him and Mack at DKR.
Ha! Figured I'd have some fun with the avatar and switch it up every now and then. It was neck-and-neck between GG and a picture of Case/Hicks. I'll probably go with Mack hugging DeLoss or Mack hugging Powers once the season starts.
I hope so because I plan on taking the short drive to Austin to watch him play. If UT is smart they'll offer his teammate and heart and soul of our defense Grant Watanabe (SA DPOY, MaxPreps 2012 Junior All American team 1st team) he and Derrick will be tearing it up in the fall. I know Texas has already had him up for a visit just waiting on a offer...he's just a little undersized for his position. His first offer came about a month ago from Colorado. Oh and his cousin in Trey Lealaimatafao.
Lates with WR KD Cannon (24/7):
“This (Nike Football Training Camp) was the best camp I've been to,” Cannon said. “The compe ion was great and I think I did real good.”
“I really haven't talked to Texas that much,” Cannon said. “I can't remember the last time I talked to Texas. I know they're running a spread offense now, which I like, and they want me to play outside.”
“I want to see if they're really going to throw the ball,” Cannon said. “I just want to wait and see.”
“I have a great relationship with Coach (Kendal) Briles and I talk to him all the time,” Cannon said. “Their offense is really explosive and they do a great job of getting the ball into the hands of their playmakers. I think I'd be a good fit there.”
“I really like the community and the coaching staff (at Texas Tech),” Cannon said. “I like Coach (Trey) Haverty a lot. I like the playbook because there you can get the ball almost every play.”
“They've (Oklahoma) changed the offense little bit because now they run it more,” Cannon said. “I want to wait and see what they look like this season.”
Update on DE Solomon Thomas of Coppell (24/7):
“I’m hearing from just about everyone you can imagine,” said Thomas. “I’d say that schools like Texas, Baylor, Oklahoma, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Ohio State are recruiting me the hardest right now. It’s crazy to keep up with it all, but it’s an honor at the same time. I’m just grateful I get to experience it.”
“Right now I’m taking it as it comes,” Thomas explained. “I’m just letting it come and go really and am staying open with everything. My plan is to narrow it down to like a top ten or twelve here very soon. My guess is that happens after spring ball."
“I’d like to take some more visits this summer and really see the schools I’m the most interested in after narrowing it down,” he added. “I want to see what each school has to offer, check it out thoroughly, visit with their coaches and see who I click with. Once I’m done doing that, I’d prefer to narrow it down even further. Maybe like a top five when football season begins. Then I’ll take all my officials and commit once that is done.”
“Texas is definitely a school I’m taking a hard look at,” Thomas told Hookem.com. “They’re one I’m very seriously interested in. I have a great relationship with the coaches and talk to them a few times a week over the internet or phone or however I can. I definitely respect what they’re doing down there in Austin.”
“I didn’t make it to Texas’ spring game because I was with my family visiting my sister,” said Thomas. “She goes to Arkansas, so we were going there to see her. But I did recently visit Texas on March 20th, I think and it was a really good one. We had a good time.”
“The main thing I did was see them practice and talk with the coaches some,” Thomas said. “I really enjoyed watching Coach (Oscar) Giles in action and I liked watching how he worked out his players. I was impressed with it. I was impressed with the whole defense, in general, actually."
“I think you can argue the defense has improved a lot. It’s a big turnaround in my opinion. They are a much more physical group than they were last year. The defense was much bigger and seemed faster. You can tell they are coming into their own. They’re not as young now,” he added.
Haven't seen you in this thread before, so welcome if this is one of your first posts (saw one earlier today). If you are not new, then forget about this and act normal lol.
Just went through some of Watanabes highlights and he looks damn impressive! If Beck goes to Stanford, Whitley to A&M, Freeman to TCU and Bates to SEC I wouldn't mind this kid, even though he's only 5'10. I know that's a lot of 'if's' but his tape is pretty good!
