in Texas Longhorns Recruiting
Email
PrintWhen: Saturday, January 2nd, 10 am CT (ESPN)
Where: Tropicana Field, St. Petersberg, FL
Who: Under Armour Rosters
Texas commits: Adrian White, Mike Davis, Taylor Bible, Ashton Dorsey, Aaron Benson, DeMarco Cobbs
Texas targets or others of note: Jordan Hicks, Darius White, Corey Nelson (soft verbal Texas A&M), Luke Joeckel (Texas A&M), Evan Washington (LSU), Chad Lindsay (Alabama), Blake Bell (Oklahoma)
More information here and on the ESPN home page, plus a few notes after the jump.
As mentioned above, there is plenty of free information from ESPN covering the several days of practice. Here are a few notes from practice and about the game:
- Not all of these high school kids take these All-Star games seriously, but my impression is that they do take it more seriously than the All-Star games in basketball. A major part of the reason may be that the football games, and more especially, the practices, have a greater impact on the eventual rankings, as these games provide a final evaluation for these players before Signing Day and can have an impact. For instance, partly as a result of a mediocre showing in practice and during the US Army game, Jamarkus McFarland lost his fifth star last year.
- DeMarco Cobbs will not play for the White team due to the calf injury he sustained in Tulsa Central's playoff loss. There are no long-term concerns with the injury, but it would have been helpful to see a little bit of his route-running ability and how natural he is catching the football. Or at least reports on how well he did those things in practice.
- Darius White will announce his decision during the game, expected to come down to Oklahoma State and Texas. After White's visit and spurn of Oklahoma several weeks ago, the Cowboys look like they could be the favorite because of their ability to offer early playing time, a priority for White that he made clear this week in Florida. It's the same reason that Texas could be in trouble. The good news for Longhorn fans is that White reportedly spent the week hanging out with the Texas commits on his team, perhaps establishing a bond with them that could be strong enough for him to don a Texas hat early Saturday morning.
- Jordan Hicks said this week that he is planning on announcing his decision on Signing Day, but there are rumblings that it could come sooner. There are rumors that White's mother and sister like Austin, but Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel will have the final say, as they will have their in-home visits in the next several weeks. No definite word on if the uncertainty surrounding Meyer will ultimately eliminate Florida from contention with Hicks, but the star linebacker did say that the whole situation was "confusing." Things look good for Texas right now, with the depth chart and limited potential for playing time next season the biggest impediments, though Hicks does not seem like a player overly concerned with playing early.
- In practice Hicks has been every bit as good or better than advertised, showing off his physicality coming dowhill in the running, his speed going sideline-to-sideline to make plays, and his well-rounded game with his ability to drop into coverage and disrupt passing lanes, evidenced by an interception return for a touchdown when he jumped a slant route.
- In perhaps one of the most interesting developments in the game, Hicks, Benson, and Nelson will all play together at linebacker for the Black team. With the departure of Marcus Davis, there may be room for Nelson if he continues to show interest, keeping open the possibility, however slight, that all three could eventually play for Texas. What will be exciting is seeing Benson and Hicks play together, as there is a strong possibility that they could end up as teammates.
- Benson has reportedly added a great deal of strength since the beginning of the season, now checking in at around 220 pounds, up from 205, where most recruiting sites still have him listed. According to reports, Benson hasn't lost any speed with his increased strength and is effective dropping into coverage, showing an overall polish to his game. In that respect, his consistency may eventually draw comparisons to Roddrick Muckelroy.
- The reports from practice about Mike Davis were glowing all week, hitting on his route-running and playmaking ability. Davis has also been extremely consistent and is said to be the most polished of the receivers on the Black team, a group that includes Justin Hunter and Darius White, and had an impressive slant-and-go touchdown catch in practice that showcased his renowned route-running ability. He has played more flanker and in the slot during practice, but is expected to start at flanker for the game.
- Adrian White was outstanding in his first day of practice, showing off his physicality and ability to get up in press coverage. Although he did not perform at the same level on this second day, no surprise given his inconsistencies and the wide receivers probably being better acclimated to dealing with a tough cornerback. According to Jeff Howe, his performance in practice is enough in his estimation for White to once again be consdered an elite cornerback prospect. White has reportedly done a better job looking back for passes, something he struggled with as a junior and admittedly worked hard in developing.
- Taylor Bible and Ashton Dorsey have both been impressive, as befits their status as the top two defensive tackles by ESPN, with Dorsey looking like the most explosive defensive tackle. Both have struggled at times facing off against double teams, but will improve in that area with better coaching, though both probably project as three techniques in college. Both are also working on developing more pass rushing moves and more consistently using their hands. Dorsey reportedly still has some issues with playing too high at times, resulting in him being blown off the ball on some running plays. The bottom line is that going against good interior linemen this week will help provide them a better understanding of where they are in their development and what they need to do to compete at the collegiate level, as one or both will need to contribute next season for the Longhorns.

White to anounce DURING the game?
Is he going to have a hat hidden in his pocket to pull out when he scores a touchdown or something?
Ha.
Some time during the game like after a touchdown or between quarters I think is normally how they do that. Hopefully Texas has enough swagger for him.

But, just thinking about how it played out, that was so ridiculous. Swagger? Kids these days.

Anyone know if Jeffcoat's going to the Army AA game?
Usually a guy of that caliber would play in one or the other, I’d think.
Here's a link and a few names from the Army game:
UT commitments:
Dominic Espinosa
Tevin Jackson
Traylon Shead
Connor Wood
Reggie Wilson
Trey Hopkins
UT targets:
Jackson Jeffcoat
Jake Matthews
Non-UT prospects of interest:
Ross Apo
Nate Askew
Ahmad Dixon
Trovon Reed
The RB from Temple
DeAndrew White
Not sure if I missed anyone, but those are the guys I found, and they’re on the West roster. Here’s the East.

That might’ve been in last year’s preparations, but saw some of the stuff on espn.
IMO, he’s the best special teams coach….ever.

But a guy on an Ok State site said…

He could be making it up to annoy the pokes though
Not sure if they have a SB site
But they have sites. That’s why I said a site, not the or their site. I was at like orangepower.com or something of the sort
This game should change names...
to the SEC Under Armour Game! And ESPN should change their letters to SECN. Apparently, if you aren’t an SEC recruit, in particular florida or bama, you’re not getting a camera on you.

interesting the differentiation in the recruiting sites….maybe they knew he would be an Ag.

I would say aggie is putting together a better class than I’d have expected. They got about 8-10 players who are good enough to play most anywhere
They've never done a bad job on the recruiting end...

But how can one site make a player the 10th best CB, and another make him the 48th! How do you find 38 CB’s inbetween?!?
Rivals
has him at 5’9, so it’s possible. But I would think that would only drop him some, not this far…..and they liked Earl Thomas and he is def. small…..I just find it odd is all
Here's my question...
How did Harris, Jones, Apo and Terrell all get offers before Mike Davis?? If I’m remembering correctly then Davis didn’t get an offer at Junior Days…
His stock is going up rapidly

I think he may have the best chance as a freshman to play too
Due to his crisp route running abilities
Mike Davis plays bigger than 6'1

doesnt it feel weird to say you're nervous about OSU?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
again, per ESPN UA game blog
Hookem’ Horns
1:10 p.m. ET — Big plays by Texas commits — Taylor Bible’s fumble recovery and long run, which set up Mike Davis’ touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone leaping over two White team defenders. Bible, the nation’s top defensive tackle, has been hard to move in the trenches this week. Look for him to play over the ball in Will Muschamp’s scheme at Texas. Bible plays with great leverage and uses his hands well. Offensive linemen rarely extend their arms and get their hands into his chest.
Davis continues to build on his terrific week. He’s proven to be a great route runner, but on the touchdown catch he showed off his high-point ball skills. Davis is a polished receiver and is likely to play early at Texas.
See OP
DeMarco Cobbs will not play for the White team due to the calf injury he sustained in Tulsa Central’s playoff loss. There are no long-term concerns with the injury, but it would have been helpful to see a little bit of his route-running ability and how natural he is catching the football. Or at least reports on how well he did those things in practice.
by burntorangehorn on Jan 2, 2010 12:28 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, recruit that Offensive lineman...
Atleast if he can’t block he’ll be able to tackle after a fumble or interception.
Darius White's decision is coming soon.

And Jeffcoat later
Beyond that, I could get over not getting Humphrey, although he’d be welcome.

You would think Jeffcoat would be a lil' more willing considering...
the dt’s that we have in this class. Hook’em!
I keep saying that these LBs
need to ask Ray Lewis how he dominated when he had Tony Sirausa and Sam Adams occupying blockers in front of him….
Bible is going to steal someone's Miller High Life after the game
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Darius White commitment thread up on the front page.
But feel free to chill in here for the remainder of the game.

That was an incredible catch by Davis.
Mike Davis, Darius White, Chris Jones to Texas. In the same receiving corps. Is there any chance that those three don’t end up being better than the combination of Roy, Sloan, and BJ?

Think about all the possible combinations of return men for next year
Return teams will be dangerous to say the least
Iam more concerned about TE...
Barrett Matthews going to be able to fill the bill next season? Any chance he has the ability of Thomas or Finley?
I have absolutely zero concerns about offensive weapons
are we going to have an offensive line that can block?
3/19/2009 - Dogus Balbay Made a Three-Pointer. Never Forget.
at this point
wouldn’t we be better off putting another great receiver on the field than an average TE?
I like the cut of your jib

He can fill the bill of an H-back.
which we we could use in our offense. You know, if we could actually adjust our offense to use an H-back. Which would be a good idea.
