i'm sure many of the educated will blame greg davis.
mack brown should not spend 1 more minute recruiting out-of-state players. we don't need them to win the NC ever. and they usually play with us then go somewhere else. colorado?? give me a MF break. can't wait to stomp them again 70-3.

do we really think he'll come to texas?? in his scout.com profile..he's wearing an A&M shirt...what's that about??

about the rb's..i think we should start w/ fozzy and vondrell and leaving Ogbonnaya in for blocking and catching ball out of backfield.  is deshean hales not enrolled early? if so, i think you should start him off on kickoff return and move him into the rotation. oh yeah, cody johnson should stick to fb and give the ball a couple of times.

from Vondrell McGee and Chris Ogbonnaya.  I would say they have my vote going into next year, BUT there are 205 days until we play Florida Atlantic and a lot can change.  I can't wait to see these guys fight for their spot at this spring's Orange and White game.

I'm assuming Vondrell and Oggie get the first crack in the backfield. Let's not forget that Vondrell was a top 100 recruit as well, back in his day.

I don't see any need to go outside Texas for the loaded '09 class, but let's not forget that Lamarr Houston and Blaine Irby were OOS, and both of them look VERY promising.

Personally, I'm most excited about the Justin Tucker era.

I dont think i can wait that long

now mack needs to get verbals from the 9 rivals top
100 for 2009. i'm sure that is what he is working on right now.
4,000 more seats in the south end zone to see Florida Atlantic. DeLoss for President!!

I'll comment in order:

1.  I'm sure McGee will be given the chance to win the job and probably will be the feature back, but this could be very much like '05 when we Selvin, Melton, and Charles.

2.  A Rod Davis committ would be shocking to me.

3.  I think I'm most excited about Buckner and Grant.  With Sweed, Jones, and Pittman gone the frosh receivers have a great chance to play early.  Buckner and Grant have the size to be the big receiver we usually have.

4.  I don't know if he will, but I don't think Mack should back off completely.  However, if he does find an OOS guy he likes I think he should target him early and go after OOS guys like he does Texas guys.  Get after 'em early.

With that said let the countdown to Signing Day '09 begin.  Junior Days this weekend.  With Scott passing on us, getting a commitment from Whaley, Michael, and/or Pratt just became that much more important.  The fun never stops.  I love it.

Were studs in the Army game.  I'm excited to see them patrolling the secondary.  Brewster, especially--the guy seemed to be everywhere at once.  

to get a recruiting boom?  I know Mack's classes since, including this one, are very good, but why can't he seem to get the elite national prospect he chases every year?

First Perriloux, then Brantley (who will probably never play at Florida), and now Scott.  Mack just needs to keep it in state.

is the signing day press conference?

I think this guy has Roy Williams Potential

Both of them dominated during the Army AA practices.  AW especially.  He was one of the fastest safeties, had the best ball skills, and was in the top 3 in a bunch of other categories.  Maybe Mack can resist trying him at RB, LB, and WR.  If he's a fast learner he could see a lot of time at FS or SS.

1.  Fozzy Fozzy Fozzy.  I want him to be successful so bad it hurts.  Honestly though, I just hope the best talent sees the most playing time.  Normally this would be a given, but who knows with this coaching staff.  Im not too worried, at the very least, I know Vondrell and Chris are capable of getting the job done.

2.  Its hard for me to imagine why a top recruit would be deciding between Texas or aTm.  It seems to me you would rather be an aTm guy or not, and if not, UT brings a lot more success to the table.  Except against aTm as of recent...

3.  Buckner is my top favorite to see, other then that its a tie with every defensive back on the list.  I love good secondaries, and am jazzed hoping that we can get back to that.

4.  I think Mack doesnt get involved with kids who have family ties to other schools that are out of state as well, except Brewster.  So whatever, Mack will go for who he thinks gives us the best chance to win.  In or out of Texas.

I think we should definately start recruiting only in-state players.  KEY: We make it widely known throughout the country that we do so.  Texas Bred Players Only.  This would most likely result in more Texas recruits going to UT.  Also, its not like we recruit that many out-of-state players anyway.

If we show loyalty to Texas prospects maybe they will reciprocate.  Not to mention, as far as conference significance, keeping Texas prospects from going to OU would result in a lot more Big 12 Championships and in turn more BCS bowl games.

Just pound it straight ahead, I say.

Plus, I can't wait to seeing our Boom Motherf*cking defense against Colorado in October.  Maybe Scott will wish he was wearing a different color.

1. i am ok with not landing scott, but not too particular about running back by committee. i wouldnt mind fozzy getting the majority of the carries but i know that politics has chris O B wan kanobe having the bulk of the load on him and sprinkles of the other guys.

2. rod davis should come to texas if he wants to play at the next level. i consider texas one of the best schools for the d-line. texas d-line is represented well in the nfl. crowder, robison, hampton and i can go on for a half dozen more.

3. monroe stood out the most to me as i watched him in the army all american game here is san antonio. i think with akina just sticking to the defensive backs that he will have a shot to come in and contribute early

4. we were a little late to the scott party and the only reason we were in the hunt late was because j. charles took off the nfl. i dont think we give up completely but we shouldnt make out of state kids priority #1, unless he is the next savior of our team.

I enjoyed how you took a lunch break, then decided it wasn't worth coming back for more of the recruiting liveblog.

Almost like a bad morning at work, followed by an Office Space-style ignorance.

after reading all the comments I agree we should adopt a TEXAS ONLY recruiting policy (unless some stud comes to US and wants to sign) and let everyone in the nation know it. I think this would build incredible new instate loyalty and prevent at least some ***** recruits going north to the hated sooners. "We're Texas" with Walter Cronkite should apply to the football team too. there are 10 texas players on the 2009 rivals top 100 now. we are listed on everyone's list except 1. let him go. he doesn't want to be here. BUT go hard on every other one now and let them know they have a spot at Texas
NOW (assuming we want them). there are many ways to go but I think this is
1 way that will be strong, efficient, and intimidating. Sorry, Ricky Williams did not help us win a NC and call me selfish but that is all I care about. Vince Young did, an intercity Houston stud.
i will trade a truck load of Heismans for NCs anyday since the Heisman is no longer anything but politics. Just 1 guys opinion!!
