2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

Dude's only playing with a shattered back. Why isn't he shattering records

[TFloss32]

Wonder if the staff encouraged that one. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

24/7 mentioned they did not force him out or anything like that, but the staff wasn't surprised.

QB Jameis Winston now being accused of point-shaving.

I think the only thing he hasn't done yet is kill five hookers.

I'm honestly surprised that more kids haven't been accused of point shaving over the years.

Just give him time.

Per Inside Texas, OL Darius James is done for the season with an MCL injury.

That leaves UT with six playable offensive lineman if you exclude redshirts.

Per 24/7, WR Ryan Newsome and S DeShon Elliott will be taking officials to Oklahoma this weekend.

Update on CB Keivon Ramsey of Converse Judson...before he de-committed from Texas on Thursday he posted the following:

Nobody thought much of it at first, but Rivals is now reporting he'll be in San Marcos this weekend for a visit. 24/7 mentioned that he was not forced out by the staff for any reason and he still has "committed to the University of Texas" on his Twitter page, but it's a pretty odd story unless what's being reported is not necessarily the whole truth. Hopefully we'll get clarity at some point, but I have seen rumors he's following a girl.

THE MAN.

He is UT.
Pure class.

[TFloss32]

He has 2,091 rushing yards and 31 TDs this season:

I guess 2 Chainz was in Austin last night:

Someone mentioned that his girlfriend is/will attend Texas State. But nonetheless, a very strange situation.

[TFloss32]

Doesn't look like he is making the trip to OU after all...

Inside Texas talks about Coach Strong getting rid of banquet weekend:

Charlie Strong has done away with the antiquated and boorish banquet weekend. Instead he'll honor seniors and their families in a more intimate, Strong conducive setting. One of the main functions of the banquet was as a gathering point for recruits to mingle with current players and seeing what the Longhorn atmosphere is all about. Do you think Strong wants to celebrate this season?

I caught up with someone in the know:

"You now know well that Strong doesn't care for in-season official visits. He'd rather deal with prospects person-to-person where he feels he connects better than during the hustle and bustle of gameday. The plan is to have a big weekend in December and then another one later in January. The December one will be an attempt to get Jefferson and anyone else who wants to visit with him since he announces later that month. The staff just wants the same crack with him in that setting as other coaches. There will be commits interspersed on each weekend for obvious reasons. The one in January will likely be for guys who are strong commits and any late offers or last gasp attempts before signing day. It will be interesting to see when they want the guys who might be wavering to visit. Early to try and solidify them, or late to get last crack at them. To be clear, Charlie did give players the option to take officials earlier but urged them to wait for later."
