Under Armour All-America Game Open Thread

Gse_multipart20834_tiny by 40AS on Comment 308 comments

It's finally here. The event you've waited your whole weekend for. An interesting chance to see Garrett Gilbert, Russell Shepard and Matt Barkley all on the same field (not likely at the same time though). 

ESPN, 7 PM central. Rosters here. Cool story on the Horn commits is here. Future Longhorns are:

Garrett Gilbert -- QB

Thomas Ashcraft --  OL

Paden Kelly -- OL

Barrett Matthews -- TE

Mason Walters -- OL

i dont really think the end of the night is really the goal. Texas fans know that there is a storm coming in the likes of which likely havent been seen before.

if tonight were the apex of gilbert’s career, it would be a sad solstice upon us. Gilbert will encompass so much more than what the other athletes will show tonight. under the lights of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium there is about to be a knew era upon us and none will be able to deny the sovereignty that is approaching.

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=895570

LB Jelani Jenkins
Wheaton (Md.) Good Counsel
At only 16, Jenkins has one of the best linebacker builds on either squad. He is already developed but stil sleek and athletic. He is not as quick on his reads as some of the White linebackers but once he finds the ball he is downhill and physical. At the point of contact, Jenkins is explosive and he has the athleticism and size to make plays on every level of the defense.

Rotation.

All 3 Black team QBs got one series. Then they started the rotation again, giving each QB 2 series in a row. GG is 3rd in the rotation and this last series of the half is Nunes’ second series in his second set. I may have said that confusing, but GG will start the 2nd half.

I dont think he will be a QB… hes too small, very Pat White (which is all legs no arm) actually Pat White was like 3 or 4 inches taller i think. i ahte to say it but Barkley looked like the next “golden boy” now we will have to hear about him and his missionary work like tebow for 3 years

And more....

Serious man-crush on Barkley and nothing but a bash on one of our TE recruits:

Matthews was a player we were very excited to see coming into the week. We knew he lacked ideal height for the tight end position and he was about what we thought he would be when he arrived size wise. He did show good speed during the week and did a nice job of blocking when called upon. He did display some rawness though in his route running ability and despite some good speed had some trouble creating separation. The Texas commit also had some drops and the week did not feature any of the big plays we had hoped to see from him. The No. 2 ranked tight end tended to blend in this week while the No. 1 rated tight end Morrell Presley had an excellent week. We still believe Matthews is a fine tight end, but the gap between him and Presley is apparently wider.
