LB Anthony Hines of Plano East talks about UT (24/7):
“Texas is definitely one of my top schools,” Hines said. “I love Coach (Charlie) Strong and what he’s doing there. The facilities are great and the people are great. Austin is a great city, and the education is great.”
“I just hope to see plenty of young kids getting the opportunity to show what they can do,” Hines said. “That’s something unique about Texas is that they allow freshmen to come in and play early. It’s a big factor.”
“I was actually just talking to Jeffrey McCulloch,” Hines said. “He just told me that it’s the right place to be. It’s a smart choice. I’ve been talking to him, and I’ve talked to Malik (Jefferson) about it as well.”

Quotes from LB Baron Browning of Kennedale (24/7):
“The reason I really like Texas is Coach (Charlie) Strong and the way he runs his program,” Browning said. “I like how he keeps everybody in line. He helps you mature as a man. I also like the academic support that they provide for the students.”
“Coach BJ and Coach Strong talk to me a lot, but lately, I’ve been really talking to Coach Jennings,” Browning said. “I’ve known him for a while. Arkansas was one of the first schools to offer me. He’s really good people and he knows my track coach. We have a really good relationship.”
“Texas has some great linebackers,” Browning said. “If I went there it could be a dynamic duo with Malik (Jefferson), I guess you could say. I’m just looking forward to seeing them this season and how Coach BJ is helping them develop. I’m not worried about seeing them win. I want to see how the linebackers develop.”

That seems like a big deal. Is he coming because of a Charlie Strong Florida connection of some type?
He's been on campus before.
Just making the rounds of his favorite schools as he'll also see Alabama and LSU.

From our friends at the paper, Hookem.com:
Texas coach Charlie Strong spent the first day after spring break talking to the university faculty council inside the Main Building. His confident tone Monday was striking.
Strong touched on several program cornerstones, including the importance of academics and his appreciation of UT faculty members. The coach made it clear that all faculty members are welcome to attend practices, and that they should report when players miss class. A 5 a.m. running session awaits truants.
“You think about a degree from the University of Texas and how important it is,” Strong said. “For some of them, their parents didn’t have this opportunity. I tell them all the time, you’re not going to waste this opportunity.”
Strong then went into his usual breakdown of the roster. On the quarterback situation, he ranked the contenders as such: Tyrone Swoopes, Jerrod Heard, Shane Buechele and Kai Locksley. He wants someone to be a clear-cut winner going into the summer.
But Strong, who spoke with a tad more oomph than he normally does with reporters, is clearly excited about the recent recruiting class — ranked 11th nationally by 247Sports’ composite ratings — and what it may signal going forward. In his mind, back-to-back losing seasons are a thing of the past.
“What’s going to happen when we flip this thing? Where are we going to be then?,” he told the crowd of about a hundred faculty members. “You think about what we’re doing right now, what’s going to happen when we really get it turned?
“They might as well move out of the way, because we are going to steamroll everyone,” he added. “That’s going to happen.”
The coach is clearly pumped about a rematch with Notre Dame this fall at Royal-Memorial Stadium on Sept. 3. The Irish walloped the Longhorns 38-3 in South Bend, Ind., last season.
“I love that we open with Notre Dame. I really do love that,” Strong said. “We were embarrassed up there last year. I tell our players all the time, what bothers me more than anything, when we get the support that we get, we go out and don’t play up to our ability. That’s what bothers me.
“We have so much support,” he added, “and there’s so many people who have so much passion for Texas football. There’s no reason for us to go let them down.”
What’s fueling his optimism?
“Right now, our message is ‘Believe,’” Strong said. “You have to believe in yourself before anyone will ever believe in you. It’s all about that — believe in yourself, believe you get it done, believe you can be the best person, the best student. All that works together and it works together as a team. There’s no reason for that not to happen.”
Perrin on realignment: Speaking to faculty members after Strong, UT athletic director Mike Perrin addressed conference realignment for the first time publicly. He said the current stability is based on TV contracts, many running through the 2024-25 academic year.
“I think there will be another round of conference realignment when those contracts come up, because the funding model for conference monetary distributions are determined by in large by cable television,” Perrin said.
Perrin noted how news reports describe the growing trend of cord-cutting in U.S. homes as people shift to online streaming.
“Whether there will be similar ability to monetize alternative distributions, such as iPads and smart phones, I don’t know,” Perrin said. “I’ve got to believe that smarter minds than mine will figure out how to do that selling subscriptions or something.”
Briefly: Texas returns to the practice field on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The team’s pro timing day for NFL scouts is scheduled for Wednesday.
