Listening to local sports radio here in Austin. They have mentioned several times now that Greg McElroy is slated to start for the Jet there are now 9 guys starting in the NFL from the state of Texas and none were recruited by UT.

Nine.
That's amazing.

The Horns did have two pretty good Texas boys back-to-back in Young and McCoy.

I'm amazed they didn't recruit Stafford, if that's true.
Was that the same period when they were going after Jevon Snead?

How amazing would have that been?!
Brees, I can understand. He was considered short my most big schools, but it sure has never been an issue.
I thought Luck just wanted to go to the "West Coast Ivy", and that he had basically let it be known that he was not staying in Texas. I may be wrong but was thinking he had no texas schools even on his list.

Texas also had Applewhite at the time Brees was coming out and picked up Simms later. I don't know that Brees would have seen the field if Texas recruited him.

Z'darius Smith sent his paperwork into Kentucky this morning. Was being reported that he was down to A&M/MSST but Kentucky hired his JUCO D-Line coach for the same position and he followed. A&M signed JUCO LB Tommy Sanders with there last JUCO mid-term spot bringing that total to 9 early commits who count back to 2012.

That puts our total at 25 commits with 2 or 3 not expecting to make it in (2 grade risks and 1 MLB draft). Current targets A&M is still pursuing are LB Isaac Savaiinaea, CB Mackensie Alexander , WR Stacy Coley, WR Sebastian Larue and a couple others.

TE Geoff Swaim signed his Letter of Intent for Texas today.

Former Texas signee, DT Quincy Russell of San Antonio Sam Houston, has committed to Oklahoma.


Texas has not given up on JUCO S Shaq Fluker even though he decided to skip UT's annual team banquet. Because Georgia is also recruiting another JUCO safety and Fluker may not be able to enroll at UGA for the spring semester, Texas wants to be there in case he wants/needs another option.

Rumor out there that WR Thomas Johnson has withdrawn from Texas A&M.

[rkell87]

According to Rivals all 6 JUCO commits Texas Tech had, signed with Cincinnati today.

Sumlin said he withdrew a month ago and his future is uncertain. He played well for the Aggies, I hope he figures his life out and has a successful career with whatever he decides.

[jimmy40]

so...25 year extension for Mack?

[TheCoolFan]

As soon as I knew Texas would be matched up with a Pac-12 team, Mack would get another win to pad his bowl record.

Fun game to watch... Ash played really well...

Okafor may have moved himself into early second round/late first...

Was a great win by Texas. Congratulations to the Longhorns.
