Could've told my mother to save her money on the plane ticket.
Sounds like he knew the score.
We did only played one half of football.

He's been getting very little, and sometimes zero, reps in practice.
My guess is he'll be asked to switch positions or he won't be on the team in the fall.
FYI the spring evaluation period has officially started and will run through May 31st.
The coaches should have meetings this week to close out spring practice, and then they'll hit the road to see recruits.
No doubt. We have a A QB now, that will help with errybody!
According to 24/7, WR Omar Manning, LB Baron Browning and ATH Montrell Estell did not make it to Austin yesterday.
Browning was in FW again, UT may be out of this race but he seems to like the West Coast as did his brother.
Full spring game for those who missed it.
what position will he be switched to, WR?
Yes.
He actually played WR in the Under Armour game.
Problem is there have been consistent rumors of at ude issues, so he may not be up for a position switch.
He comes across as a high maintenance, spoiled, pampered athlete....the kind that A&M has been recruiting for the QB position in recent years. Honestly, if he is going to be a cancer, cut the cord now and be done with him.
Taylor Hamm says he's hearing that Texas now leads for DeSoto OL Xavier Newman after the Spring Game.
USA Today is featuring QB Shane Buechele as a top spring performer:

24/7 saying OL Walker Little stayed the night in Austin to hang out with players like Buechele.
He also spent a lot of time with QB Sam Ehlinger.
2018 LB Alston Orji (Rockwall)
2017 is going to be one awesome recruiting class.
CB Chevin Calloway of Dallas Bishope Dunne talks about his visit to Austin for the spring game (24/7):
“I don’t have top list or anything like that,” Calloway said. “But Texas is a school I’m taking a closer look at. I liked the defensive scheme. I like the facilities. I just like what they have going on there.”
“It was good to get to meet them,” Calloway said. “It was my first time really getting to know them. I really liked Coach Strong. Coach Jennings said he would love for me to play for him. We just talked about the qualities he’s looking for in a player and what I’m looking for in a coach.”
“I think the team has a chance to be special in the future — maybe even by next year,” Calloway said. “I love what Coach Strong is building. He’s getting a lot of big-time guys. And now they have a quarterback.”
Great quotes from Calloway; however, this one stood out to me. It seems as though even the recruits are seeing it with Shane. It still scares me to have a true freshman Center and QB starting game 1, but if they're the best, then so be it.
I'm more scared of having Swoopes as our strongest option vs ND.
Walker Little: If one recruit got the red carpet treatment from the Texas coaching staff this weekend it was Episcopal (TX) OT Walker Little and his family. They came in on Saturday for the spring game and stayed until Sunday afternoon to get some more one-on-one time with the coaching staff.
When I asked Walker about getting the special treatment he said, “They definitely treated us well. We got to spend a lot of time with coach Strong and Mattox. Really got to build our relationships.” Little also spent some quality time with the early enrollees in OL Zach Shackelford, QB Shane Buechele, and WR Collin Johnson after the spring game. Little said, “They just told me how much they have enjoyed their time and specifically how great coach Mattox has been with them”. It certainly helps when you’re being recruited by three freshmen players who all have a chance to start this upcoming season!
Little said something that stood out to him after the visit was “probably how well me and Mattox got along. Also how well me and the players got along.” He also added that Texas was a top contender for him coming in but he feels more comfortable with everyone at Texas than he ever has before.
Little will continue to take some spring visits before he trims his list down but right now I would say Texas’ top compe ion for the star OT is Ole Miss and Stanford.
– Insider Note on Walker Little: To add to what was reported, in speaking to some inside sources it’s sounding more and more like Walker is Texas’ to lose. And I agree with Andrew, the biggest threats to Texas will be Ole Miss and Stanford but right now I’m predicting this one ends up going to Texas’ way. If the decision had to be made today, I’m told Texas would be the choice. – (Super K)
Buechele highlights only:
Inside Texas:
More on Desoto OL Xavier Newman: From someone who was there, "Dad and Uncle loved it. Uncle was particularly blown away and was just excited about the opportunity Texas presents. Forget football. They're still in disbelief Xavier has such an amazing opportunity. Bryson Echols even told them, 'even though it didn't work out for me here doesn't mean it won't work out for you. Then Adrian Colbert came over and said, 'I think they're going to turn it around, I just needed a new start. This is a great place.'" -IT.
Other nuggets (nothing groundbreaking):
-Westlake OT, Stephan Zabie, is now ranked #97 nationally by 247.
-Like Such mentioned, Texas leads for Graham. AK thinks Graham should be pulling the trigger soon.
-Walker Little had a great visit. IT is now picking Texas. He's up to #57 nationally on 247. Big boy.
No way to know what Strong is thinking, but his interviews have showed how excited he is about Buechele and we now know the compe ion isn't close.
No-brainer decision, imo.
