Texas Longhorns Signing Day Headquarters/Open Thread (Update: All 25 Sign)

For national Signing Day news throughout the day, keep up at SBNation.com.

11:08 am CST: Cobbs now official. The Texas Longhorns 2010 football class is now complete -- the Chosen 25.

10:40 am CST: Still waiting on Cobbs, but it's apparently official that Mr. A&M is now Mr. Sooner.

10:15 am CST: Mack Brown's press conference will be at 3:30 pm CST and available over at MB-TF. Definitely worth watching and I'll be around to live blog it. No word yet on Cobbs.

10:05 am CST: Ketchum says everyone but Cobbs has signed and confirmation for Cobbs should come through at any minute -- he was supposed to sign five minutes ago.

9:55 am CST: Carrington Byndom now officially a Longhorn and Darius White told Ketchum about 45 minutes ago and White said he was signing and faxing his LOI.

9:24 am CST: Tevin Jackson and Adrian Phillips now officially confirmed. Geoff Ketchum is also reporting on his Twitter feed that "Mr. A&M" Corey Nelson may end up as a Sooner after all.

9:20 am CST: John Harris and Taylor Bible now confirmed.

8:08 am CST: Aaron Benson (from the Inside Texas page from now on, unless otherwise noted).

8:02 am CST: Traylon Shead.

7:57 am CST: Chris Jones is the latest.

7:57 am CST: Greg Daniels now confirmed.

7:51 am CST: Trey Hopkins has sent in his LOI.

7:40 am CST: The three early enrollees -- Case McCoy, Adrian White, and Connor Wood -- are officially Longhorns.

7:37 am CST: Wide receiver Markeith Ambles commits to USC, comparing himself to Chad Ochocino, apparently. Not sure what exactly that means.

7:32 am CST: Now confirming Dominic Espinosa and Reggie Wilson.

7:30 am CST: Inside Texas is reporting on their front page that Darius Terrell and DeAires Cotton have faxed their LOIs and are now officially Longhorns.

This thread will be updated as the Letters of Intent pour in for the members of the 2010 class as they officially become Texas Longhorns. In fact, it's before 7 am CST right now and both services are reporting that Jordan Hicks has already faxed in his LOI (also on Twitter) and became the first official member of the class.

Use this as your open thread for any Signing Day announcements of interest, though the Texas class is now complete.

Star-divide

In terms of coverage today, there will be an overview of the entire 25-person class, as well as some thoughts on the Narrative, and on the players who got away. The four other Recruiting Spotlights for the Crowning Six (Hicks and Jeffcoat are up) are also on the way, but probably won't make it up today unless I become significantly less compulsive about including every bit of relevant information. Here's dime's Signing Day BDR with an overview of recruiting in the conference (with more to follow later today or tomorrow) and some thoughts setting the stage for today, as well as some bits of the Narrative included.

But if you only do one thing today, take some time and bask in the moment as these 25 players officially declare that they are with the Texas Longhorns, not against them.

Sherrod Harris is still around

I believe GoBR mentioned that Wood was promised a redshirt in order to give him 2 years separation from GG. Doesn’t seem like Case would be ready either.

I imagine Wood may be prepped in case Gilbert goes down with a season ending injury (knock on wood), but I imagine Harris is the 2nd string going into the year.

by jc25 on Feb 3, 2010 9:18 AM CST up reply actions  

Not promised

that I’m aware of, in terms of Wood, but with Harris as the primary back up, I think the idea would be for Wood and McCoy to redshirt and then use a back up as the third string and play Wood or McCoy only in case of an emergency.

Reasonably deep I would say

probably not as deep as 2010, but then the Longhorns will only take two or three and there are probably four or five guys identified right now that I think are probably approved for offers as long as their personal business is in order.

But there was speculation that the whole fiasco on Friday where it was reported that he was an OU commit was an OU website reporting on a silent commitment that he was planning to keep quite until today. Whatever, I think he’s undersized.

a bit undersized. Have to love that Jackson and Hicks have prototypical size and excellent speed for the position while Benson fills the role of the slightly smaller guy who can really run.

TEXAS FIGHT

by Darklust on Feb 3, 2010 2:29 PM CST up reply actions  

From Rivals about Carrington Byndom
There are a few players each year that you just like because they are flat-out football players and Byndom is one of those guys. At a shade under 6-0, 165 pounds, Byndom needs to get in the weight room before he’s ready to become a major contributor, but he has some natural football skills that you either have or you don’t. His ability to get in and out of his back-peddle, turns his hips and find the football is as good as anyone in the state. Also, don’t let his slight frame fool you because he’s aggressive in run support and isn’t afraid to mix it up with anyone. The bottom line is that you don’t play three years of impact football at a school like Lufkin unless you’re a big-time, legit player. That’s Byndom.
Player he reminds me of: Earl Thomas (Texas – 2007)

Besides he switch commitment before any of those coaching changes took place so he had already picked Texas over Kiffin essentially.

alot of players committing to Tennessee were doing so because of the phenominal coaching staff, so for some people, it could be considered a Kiffin vs. Texas

by Displaced Longhorn on Feb 3, 2010 11:54 AM CST up reply actions  

So it looks like three recruits can be counted toward the 2009 class

Which opens up room for three additional early enrollments for 2011, as long as at least three enroll early.

I count 19 scholarship juniors, if one does not count possible medical redshirts or 6th seasons, who will be gone after 2010. Blaine Irby and Jared Norton are both included in this number.

I count a total of 46 current freshmen and sophomores who will have eligibility remaining for 2011. Those, plus 25 from this class, make 71. That makes for 14 scholarships for the 2011 class, save for attrition. There may indeed be some, like Ian Harris, Phillip Payne, etc. but there may also be some medical holdovers like Ian Harris and Blaine Irby as well.

I’m sure it’ll all work out fine, and I’m sure the eligibility and recruiting personnel at Texas know a whole heck of a lot more about what’s going on than I ever could. I guess I’m just checking out the preliminary numbers. Can’t wait to see GoBR’s recruiting preview!

by burntorangehorn on Feb 3, 2010 11:29 AM CST reply actions  

remember commits with LOI does not equal enrollment

In 2008 I think we lost one casualtiy (Antoine Hicks) that didn’t qualify academically. Hopefully all these guys will qualify. We do a lot better job than other schools of only targeting guys that we think can get on campus.

by Wrangler86 on Feb 3, 2010 11:40 AM CST up reply actions  

I think they're doing a better job of QA

Not offering a few top guys who are academic concerns minimizes the odds of losing someone. It can still happen, and apparently did happen with Hicks, but it seems much rarer now for Texas than even just five years ago.

Anyone know of any iffy academics in this class? I haven’t heard of any, but then, that’s not the type of things that’s typically reported. You’d think Texas would already know whether a guy has qualified academically.

Incidentally, Seantrel Henderson still hasn’t qualified.

by burntorangehorn on Feb 3, 2010 11:45 AM CST up reply actions  

Yes, we are doing better

Last year the only late qualifier was Howell I think. And he was pretty sure to qualify, and worth the risk. Glad he made it. I think we got eveyone enrolled that signed last year. Other schools will not. My hunch is that FL and OU will have kids not qualify through the clearinghouse. Time will tell.

by Wrangler86 on Feb 3, 2010 12:14 PM CST up reply actions  

One overlooked ranking in recruiting is the enrolled rankings

They typically differ quite a bit, especially for schools in the SEC.

by burntorangehorn on Feb 3, 2010 1:28 PM CST up reply actions  

Tevin Jackson

reports a 2.67 GPA on his Rivals page. Haven’t heard anything about him so I can’t say anything other than I would rather see him right around 3.0 or better. In my understanding (admittedly somewhat limited about how the scale works), the lower his GPA, the higher he has to score on the SAT or ACT.

by Wescott Eberts (GoBR) on Feb 3, 2010 12:25 PM CST up reply actions  

2.67 on a 4.0 scale isn't terrific

But’s it’s actually not in danger territory, in all likelihood. If that turns out to be his graduation GPA, then he needs a combined ACT score of 62 (that is, he needs to average 15.5 out of 36 in the four categories), or a verbal + math SAT score of 760 (average 380 out of 800).

https://web1.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter/hs/d1_standards.pdf

I guess it’s possible he’s dumb as a rock, but with a 2.67, unless he’s getting tremendous favors from his teachers in terms of grades, he’ll probably be just fine.

by burntorangehorn on Feb 3, 2010 1:27 PM CST up reply actions  

And it depends on GPA in core classes, so really hard to tell

He is a guy we definitely want. Let’s hope they all make their grades. The guys that kill me are the ones with grade issues that are still playing the recruiting game and running all across the country instead of getting that very important aspect in order. ie, Seantrel Henderson.

Your Thoughts Biggest Surprise in 2010 Class?

Every year there are lesser heralded players that outperform the hell out of the upper tier talent:

2005 -Colt McCoy, Chris Hall, Muckelroy, Quan
2006 – Ben Alexander, Hunter Lawrence
2007 Sam Acho, Brandon Collins
2008 Nother Acho, Giddeon, Tre
2009 Marquis Goodwin and Kenny Vacarro

Who is it this year? I think I like that DT Cotton.

Adrian White

Although I don’t think it would be any surprise if he turned into a top corner, because his skills are pretty well documented.

"everybody"

what I should have said is “that all the verbal commitment longhorn recruits have sent in their LOI to the longhorn football program.” Sorry if it was unclear
