I was thrilled, but also surprised to hear that Major was returning to Austin.  I'm still very curious as to what role they are going to put him in, and how much influence he is going to have.  I just hope they don't waste him.  He could be a tremendous boost for Davis, but if he is just stuck with RB's, and no scheme/play calling duties, it will be such a waste.  

No matter what happens now, I think its great that he is going to be positioned to either take over for Mack or Davis...hopefully Davis and hopefully sooner rather than later.

... should rest his dislocated kneecap for one season, just to be safe.  Anyone want to start a petition?  I worry about this kid... er... medically...

I am all atwitter at the thought of The Major coming back to Austin.  How long do you think it will be before he has a cameo on Friday Night Lights?

I'm a little surprised Duke Robinson didn't declare, since it seemed likely he'd be taken in the bottom half of the first round, as a guard. It's unlikely he'll better than projection, even with a great senior year, whereas Phil Loadholt has a lot to gain should he perform well. Oh well, OU's gain is our loss.

Muskogee's Jameel Owens and Stacy McGee commit to OU

Owens is the No. 7 wide receiver in the country according to Rivals.com. He picked the Sooners over Oklahoma State, Tennessee and Texas Tech. McGee, the No. 6 defensive tackle in the country according to the same site, chose Oklahoma over Tennessee.

Bah!

Just a quick note that Rivals updated its final top 100 rankings and final predictions on where top 5 star recruits will end up.  

As far as Scott goes - he dropped from 4 to 6 (whooptiedoo) -

but all Rival recruiting experts predicted him to end up at Colorado.  

What I find interesting about the Agros is that their team is very deep but also very foul prone. With starters constantly in foul trouble, can they find enough continuity with their bench to finish the game? And they are also horrible free throw shooters (like some other team lately), which hurts them the more they use their power game. They have some talented newcomers, but have not found a replacement for Acey Law's leadership or last minute heroics. So this is a team that could beat anyone, or go down at any time. The probabilities may catch up to them at tournament time, but in league play they are going to be fun to watch.

A classic Bobby Knight game. Great defense and motion in the offense.

I think A&M was called for 20 travels. Some of them at least were questionable. The key for them was their big guys getting in trouble. They supposedly have a matchup advantage over us because of their size, but not if they just hack all game. Hopefully we get the same calls when we play them.

Just like in football, Tech owns A&M.
