I guess we'll see, he's supposed to announce today at 3:00 Central.

his parents want baylor and that is where people expect his announcement to be

It's Baylor but your right, you knew it almost had to be when they said they were carrying the announcement on ESPN Central Texas, which is Smokey's show. Smokey would not have done that if it had been another school I don't think.

UT has 15 commits, ten 4* and five 3* and zero 5* and is ranked 17th.

meanwhile ole miss might be pulling an SMU as somehow they went 7-6 this year and pulled five 5* including the #1 and #3 players overall in the country.

A&M did get halls commitment but prevot went to oregon

Ole Miss offered every junior ranked in like the top 300.
Crazy stuff I know but they did. And that BS worked which sucks, because more will follow suit now.

UT has to get it's image in order quickly. Mack needs to prove he wants to win or they need to hire a new coach.

I believe Briles will end up at UT by next season.

Honestly, I think he needs to beat OU and either win the conference or go to a BCS bowl. If OU hangs another blowout on Texas next year ,which would be the 3rd straight blowout and 4th loss in a row to OU, I don't see how he survives the big wigs this time.

Sometimes the Longhorn fans may need to recall:

Mack Brown era

150-43 record. .777 winning percentage (one of very best ever)

14 of 15 winning seasons (one of best )

3-1 in BCS Bowls (one of best)

9-4 in Bowls games or about 70%. (one of the best ever)
Texas bowl record was 18-18-2 before Brown

2 BCS Title games

1 BCS Title

I'm not saying his time may not be up in the near future, but this guy deserves your respect.

kind of a low ranked class for Texas it seems. Usually they are around top 5 right or at least top 10.

MC KAos · 02-07-2013

so, since we only signed 15 players, does that mean we can have 35 signees next year like A&M does?

I agree Burm. We lost some kids that I think we would have signed in other years. It's to be expected with all the coaching turnover etc. Lots of other coaches are telling recruits that Brown will be gone soon and that story is gaining traction. If it's true or not is beside the point. The media runs stories every other day on it and the fan base is not helping by calling for the head of Brown so it all perpetrates the story.

The Class is not nearly what Texas normally sees but a lot of it is the class size. If you look at the average of those who signed, they are ranked at an average of 3.67, I believe, which is good for 9th in the country overall. Now, even that is low for Texas but, it's much better then 24, which is what the class is currently ranked I believe.
