Emory Blake tears up Akins High

If I remember correctly, Mack kind didn't give him much consideration last year because of injuries. Now, I hope MB is still keeping an eye on him after he destroyed Akins High last night. Check out the linked box score, which I will sum up here:

90-yard KO return TD
2 carries, 128 yards, 1 TD (which went for 93 yds)
2 receptions, 53 yards, 1 TD (44 yds)

After looking at his rivals page, the 4* WR no longer has Texas on his mind. He is considering BC, Florida, Oregon, and Big 12 schools CU, KU, Mizzou, Nebraska, Tech.

To reiterate: he is from Austin High (yes, in Austin), he's a big-time playmaker, #20 on the Texas Top 100, and he's healthy. But a year ago he was injured, so Mack lost interest. Did I miss anything?

He's going to be at the CU game

On the CU side. They are bringing in a bunch of recruits for this game…

reported last week that UT had offered Blake a “grayshirt” opportunity. As I understand it (wiser heads surelyy know better), the grayshirt opportunity means the player signs a scholarship agreement in February but does not enroll in the summer/fall that immediately follows, thus delaying the start of his five-year college eligibility period. Seems odd to me that any school would do that. Seems odder that a young man would tie himself up that way, signing but not going on scholarship. And seems really odd that UT would make that kind of offer.
