2018 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

On RB Kyle Porter...he was limited in practice on Tuesday due to the chest injury he sustained against OU last weekend, according to OrangeBloods.

He is supposed to go non-contact in practice today, but no decision has been made if he'll play against OK State.

There is a lot of bashing of Tim Beck on some of the Longhorn fan sites, but I just dont get it?

We are starting a new system and it always takes 4 weeks to really start to grasp the system, and guys on those sites all seem to think our coaches have never coached a day in their lives.

Truthfully I think Tim and Tom have done a fantastic job with all things considered. It would be nice to have a veteran oline that is healthy, but we have lost 8 guys to transfers and injuries, you just have to suck it up and do what you can, and that is exactly what the coaches have done. Some of the play calling have been genius, others have sucked.

Texas has played the two toughest teams they will play all year and came up two plays short of being 5-1 on the year.

This team is salty and I'm excited for it's future, I am 100% sure Tom Herman is the guy to take Texas back to the top.

If we had a kicker worth just half a , we would be 5-1.

How good is er?

I have no clue, but he did break Lake Travis' FG record this year with a 53-yarder.

Herman and Coach Naivar obviously like him enough to put him on scholarship.

I'm not getting that warm and fuzzy feelings here Tfloss. How do you see this one playing out?

This is one I genuinely don't have a feel for since the timing is odd for both Michigan and Texas, and Clemson would be a shocker.

Muhammad hasn't been to Michigan in six months or Texas in three months, but he's all of a sudden ready to make a decision.

I do think UT has several things working in their favor...

-proximity to Houston.
-his mother is a UT grad and a doctor, so education is a big factor.
-almost all of the elite players, and his friends, in Houston are going to UT.
-Herman has pulled off several recruiting surprises already with Rising, Rondale, Wood-Anderson and possibly Cook at the end of the month.
-speaking of Cook, does Muhammad's timing have do to with the fact that UT has recently jumped out in front with him? Could Muhammad know Cook is going UT and that's helped him make a decision?

Everyone is still thinking Michigan, however.

Without looking it up I think he was rated the #1 kicker in the country.

EDIT: 247 just updated their composite today and he is #2 in the country.

I know these things don't always play out but this is the first I'm hearing of his mom being a UT grad! Wow...that's great news.

I forgot to mention to watch out for tweets to Muhammad on Friday from current players and commitments, or the coaching staff dropping hints.

That is usually a good sign that it will go UT's way.
