Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[rkell87]

Every story covers the Pizza joint incident, the arrest and the misdemeanor charge. Here's one for you:

That's the official story. The part about the bar incident is being talked about on various Texas boards who claim they were there or saw them leaving. A guy on Orangebloods said he watched Vaccaro throw a glass aginst the wall and take out a line of glasses/drinks on the bar before leaving. It sounds like the owner is a big Texas fan and tried to keep it under wraps by not filing charges.

24/7 says that no tickets were issued and no charges will be filed. If no tickets were issued then they weren't technically arrested right? Or do I have that wrong? The only things I've seen is that they failed to obey a lawful order which is a class c misdemeanor but if no citations are issued I'm not sure how that works.

Sounds like no suspensions for Alex Okafor, Kenny Vaccaro, Barrett Matthews. Not surprising given the details that emerged.

#15 is in

Erik Huhn, Safety, Cibolo Steele

6'3" 215 lbs 4.53 guy.

He had offers from Baylor, Duke, Georgia, Houston, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oklahoma, Purdue, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, UTEP, UTSA and Wake Forest.

This is really the first I've heard that Texas was interested in Huhn. The first Texas sign that is really not a big time target. Though Huhn had some decent schools offering him, he was pretty much under the radar. I was surprised at this signing. I like the kid. He's smart and he's 100% football player. I think he's going to be a nice player.

As a NT? I don't see any other position for him with those measurables.

He could be a 3 tech or a G/C depending on his agility and quickness.

 

[Zordon]

He doesn't have much quickness on tape. But he is stronger than roy miller and plays with the same type of motor.

they think he has been offered as a guard, they were impressed with his quickness(relative to his size/weight) at the camp this weekend

here is a quote from Hardreck Walker

"I went again one of the best offensive linemen I've ever gone against today. Hands down he was the best offensive lineman I've ever seen. He went to Waco High School (Andrew Billings). He was just so strong, he's feet were so good. If he got his hands on you, there was nowhere you could go."


they also said he did well against hoza scott which is a top DE and sure offer for 2014 which is why they probably offered him. dude was credited with like 150 pancake blocks

Isn't 6'1" a little short for an OG? Can he play OC? I watched his highlight reel where he lined up at OT, DT, NT, and DE. He displays good power and a lot of hustle which I like.

6'1" is short for all of the positions really but they say he has long arms which helps.

we pretty much have the best OC in the country coming in so it wouldn't make sense to have him try and learn that position and compete. They are going to want him on the field asap because he already has college level strength and at the very least won't be moved.

Man, the pace UT recruits at is so fast, remind me again who you're talking about at the OC position? Thanks...

holy ****, it is all over twitter, ***?! he was just at camp this weekend

 

[The30YardSlant]

RSJ decommitted from Texas, supposedly on the grounds that he wants to play both football and basketball and Texas wasnt offering him that chance. He is expected to visit A&M this weekend followed by LSU the next.

Needless to say, this is surprising. Mack Brown doesn't typically have recruits of this high a profile decommit, let alone do so with little intention of re-committing.

it is being reported that he has been cleared to play basketball at UT so something else is going on

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm pretty surprised over this. According to reports, Texas is still his number one choice but he's saying that it's a basketball issue which I don't get. All I've heard is that he was good to go in both sports so I don't know. Guess we'll see what's up soon enough.

RSJ is also very interested in Baylor as well.
