This is why I love college football. Great game.
Quotes from DT Marvin Wilson of Bellaire Episcopal (24/7):
"I think they can have a really good season this year," Wilson said. "They've got some dogs there after these last two recruiting classes. I think they are really going to show how much talent they have this season. They are really building things up."
“Coach Bedford is always talking trash,” Wilson said. “He said that he can dunk on me. I know that old man can get off the ground. When I go down there, he always says his back hurts or something like that. He always has an excuse.”
“Coach Strong is a really good dude,” Wilson said. “My mom really loves Coach Strong. She thinks he’s the most phenomenal coach in college football. I think Coach Strong is one of the realist dudes out there. What you see is what you get.”
“Texas has Jordan (Elliott) and Jeff (McCulloch), and I know those guys will take care of me,” Wilson said. “Jordan has been recruiting me. He wants to show me around and said that they are going to ball out. He told me great things about Coach Haley and Coach Strong.”
OL Walker Little of Bellaire Episcopal talks about the Notre Dame game and recruiting (24/7):
"It was one of the best games I've ever been to," Little said. "I really enjoyed myself. I can't wait to watch the rest of the season unfold. I was very impressed by the offense."
“I just want to see good things this season. I’m really hoping they can have a great season. I love Coach (Charlie) Strong. I want him to be successful. I like a lot of the players on that team, so I’m excited for them this season.”
“Texas is definitely still one of my top schools,” Little said. ‘They have been with me throughout the whole process. I have a great relationship with the coaches. I feel really comfortable around them. I like the players. It’s a great school.”

IT-In all the hustle and craziness that ensued after Tyrone Swoopes crossed the goal line to Texas' fans immortality, were recruits as wide-eyed as I've ever seen at a football game.
Eric and I have said," if Texas wins, recruiting will take care of itself."
Well, I have an addendum.
If Texas wins games in this manner, the recruits won't just ride to Austin, they'll run.
I bumped into a handful for some quick thoughts.
"Oh my God," said Baron Browning. "That was lit." Browning's face was one of shock and awe.
"Can you believe that," said Sam Ehlinger, walking with Walker Little, who by the way is freaking enormous. Just as big as Little is, was his smile. "Amazing."
One guy that this made a serious impression on; Levi Jones, Westlake LB. I'm hearing Jones is seriously considering Texas now and not just from after tonight.
Strong and Ehlinger and made major strides in his recruitment. If Texas wants three LBs in 2017, they could possibly grab Browning, Hines, and Jones. That's too nice.
Also bumped into Marvin Wilson, another giant among giants boasting a giant smile after a giant win. Texas already looked good with Wilson, but after tonight, a little better.
One recruit that didn't make it in was Temple's Taquon Graham. He suffered a hip injury on Friday night and decided to stay home and rest.
I feel strongly he'll be the next Texas pledge and I believe it will happen very soon.
Recruiting is fun again. Let's enjoy the ride.
Just yes.
Shut down the Internetz.
This one could get interesting if LSU fires Miles.
LB Dylan Moses (Bradenton, FL)
CB Kobe Boyce and CB Josh Thompson in the stands.
Browning, Hines, Levi, and Moses? Stop. I can only get so erect.
