2013 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

Longhorn Network is now Ch. 1609 on AT&T U-verse.

I have uverse and it isnt there yet for me, it doesn't show up on the guide and it doesn't get to the channel manually either. Does anybody else have this problem?

Quotes from the head coach of OL/DL Andrew Billings (OrangeBloods):

"I talked to Andrew's father last night," Waco head coach Marty Herbst said earlier this week. "He's not ready. He wants to go to some ball games. I think it's probably narrowed down to three - Texas, TCU and Baylor probably. But he wants to go to a few games before he pulls the trigger."

"I think at one point in time, each one of those has been his favorite. I think that's why he hasn't pulled the trigger," Herbst said. "He really likes all three of them."

"I saw more out of him this last sat in our scrimmage than I ever would have imagined. He had multiple pancakes on several plays as an offensive lineman," Herbst said. "Then he was dominating so much on defense, we took him out and looked at some younger kids."

"He can play anywhere on the d-line. (Defensive end) is just where we need him. I wish I could show you the scrimmage tape. He was knocking the d-end on his butt, climbing to the safety and knocking him on his butt. It happened several times. I've been doing this for 25 years. You normally recall when a kid had two pancakes on one play. It doesn't usually happen a bunch in an hour and a half time frame, and that includes some all Big 12 players I've coached over the years."

I don't think they know what they are talking about at this point, I'm seeing people on facebook saying they have it with U200. If you have u200 and don't have the channel try and reboot the box and see if it shows up

Thanks. That what I'm hearing as well. I looked up channel this morning before coming to work and didnt find. Gonna reboot later when I get home. Hope it works.

Quotes from 2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham and 2014 OL Demetrius Knox (24/7):

“I had tears coming down my face,” Gresham said. “I never thought I'd get an offer from Texas. My parent's financial situation isn't up to par. I knew I'd have to get a an athletic scholarship to go to college and it was a dream come true.”

“They were surprised when I got an offer because they didn't know Texas was recruiting me that hard,” Gresham said. “Both of them (Gresham's parents) gave me a big hug and we're throwing me the 'Hook 'Em'. It was real big.”

“I'm certain that's where I want to be,” Gresham said. “I love Texas. Texas is where I want to be.”

“I love doing the dirty work,” Gresham said. “I love somebody coming head up trying to hit me and then knocking their helmet off.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

“I'd be a Longhorn right now (if Texas had picked up the phone),” Knox said.

“I talked it over with my family and my coaches, and they told me why rush things?,” Knox said. “I'm going to take my time, take some visits and then go from there.”

“Texas, they're my No. 1,” Knox said. “After that there's no real order.”

“At the (summer) camp he (Stacy Searels) was right there with us the whole time and he was into it the whole time,” Knox said. “He's got the energy of an 18-year old. One of the last times we talked he told me that my name is the No. 1 name on their offensive line board and he told me about how much they want me at Texas."

“I honestly cried a little bit,” Knox added. “That meant so much to me.”

“When I step on campus, everything just has to feel right. I have to have that feeling that this is the school for me,” Knox said. “When I went to Texas, I got that feeling. I thought, 'That's the feeling I was looking for.' That had to be it when I was at Texas.”

Sales rep just told me its on my current package (u200). Cannot verify though since im not at home.

I hope it wasn't something violent, and no one was hurt. Manny and Oscar must really like Scott to stay interested despite his issues.

Nothing violent, but he's this close to being moved to an alternative school and football would be over. It doesn't help that his transcript is also a mess. I think he'll be suspended for the better part of a month if he is allowed to re-join the team at some point. He's definitely not playing tonight.

We might be looking back at that line months from now.

Also, congrats on those who now have LHN. I really enjoyed watching it in my dorm last year (grande). Unfortunately my apartment has TWC, so hopefully others start to carry it soon.

I would never go back to Uverse and their simply awful customer service (and vastly inferior picture). Very happy with Directv.

Nuh, he would've been in RSJ's situation and decommitted as soon as a doubt crossed his mind.

I wonder if it's that same foot he's been nursing since spring. Geez.

Same here. I'm perfectly happy with DirecTV. Much better than Uverse...they just need to get on the ball.

I switched to U-verse over a year ago and it's great to those thinking of transitioning over. Already watched some LHN today to start the day with watching some practice and interview with Harsin talking about J-Gray and such.
