Word is that Schlottman was openly cheering for Texas. Good sign. Austin is the probably the top OT in the 2014 class.

I think Derek David liked Texas before his transcript / criminal side reared it’s ugly head. James is said to be a much better student / citizen, and every bit the talent of his brother.

Keith Ford will be an interesting recruitment to follow. His family is from the Northeast, so there’s not really an in state loyalty.

Oliver has seen 4 Texas games in person this year. Wyatt won’t give up an inch on Oliver. Should be a battle with TAMU. Thursday night could have definitely helped Texas’ chances.

‘Cosm guys feel pretty good about Collins and Hollins. Collins is Ced Reed’s cousin, so there’s a big time in.

Christian Morgan will commit to Texas if they offer. His mother, and 2 uncles went to Texas.

Better front 7 as well.

Obviously the Bears can throw it around. Baylor could be a bigger defensive challenge than TAMU. However, Baylor’s defense isn’t in the same paragraph as TAMU’s. If Texas can run it, I like our chances. I think Bergeron will go. By Saturday, Mean Joe would have more than 2 weeks to rest.

Thank goodness Jaxon is back. Should be healthier against Baylor.

Moving forward into the Baylor game, the bowl game and next season I think Case should be the starter and get most of the snaps. I think David has some value in short yardage situations, but so does Overstreet.

Case manages the game better and doesn’t turn it over. If he can make a couple throws a game next year, Texas could have a lot of success. However, if Case has to win a game for Texas by throwing it 25+ plus, I have grave concerns.

I think Case gets most of the snaps, David gets work in short yardage and mop up duty, Overstreet sees time in the Wildcat and short yardage. Honestly, I think Texas has 3 players capable of running the Wildcat well next season: Johnathan Gray, Thomas Johnson and Jalen Overstreet.

I think if Irby applies for a 6th year he should get it. I think Irby’s veteran presence would be welcome. If Barrett Matthews has passed Dominique Jones, and it appears he has, Jones should transfer. Thank goodness we get Ahmard Howard off the books.

The ‘Cosm guys think it’s done, and I tend to agree. Just a guess, but Sanders want to talk it over with his coaches before switching. It could go down early next week.

The Fiesta Bowl was certainly up there. The win against Nebraska in the 2009 Big 12 Championship felt really good too.

I think if Texas beats Baylor, they’ll be selected for the Alamo Bowl. Should they lose the Insight Bowl and the Holiday Bowl are likely. Give me the Alamo Bowl because of the proximity. It’ll be nice for most of the Texas players’ families to see their kids play in San Antonio. Not to mention, recruits considering Texas could go to the game. Yeah I’m talking about Javonte Magee.

Yeah that’s pretty constant with what 247 Sports’ JC Shurburtt wrote earlier this week. The guy is a SEC honk and argued vehemently that Auburn was still in it recently, so take for it’s worth.

Brewer must redshirt. I think that’s non negotiable.

I can’t stress how important the bowl practices are. Harsin will have extra 3 weeks to work with Case. HUGE.

To answer your question I think Case can be a decent game manager next season. People will compare to McElroy, but Greg can throw a deep ball and is on a NFL roster.

The feeling on Kenny is that he is ready for the NFL. I think it comes down to the draft projection. If he’s a first round pick, he should go. I hope he stays. I think it’s 50/50.

Something similar happened. I came sat in front of some Aggies wearing a Texas polo and the family of Aggies got up and left immediately. It was very satisfying.

That is a great story.

And good for Mason. He’s leader of the OL, and he showed some leadership right there. Texas played much better after he gave Case a talking to.

It is a Pac-21 opponent correct? Maybe we’ll get Washington or Cal?

And that’s all that matters because of the bowl practices. Like I said earlier, I like the Alamo more because players’ families and recruits could come.

Apparently he liked what he saw better than Tech. It was well known that if Texas didn’t offer Johnson right away, he would commit to TAMU. Johnson called Texas last week before the TAMU visit.

Something with the bicep. Doesn’t serious, but you never know with this staff.

Projects better at DB, but could play either.

I don’t think this is the most talented defense under Mack Brown, but Manny is the best DC Mack has ever had in my opinion.

Ash should have been redshirted. I still have my concerns about his decision making and accuracy. At the end of the day, Texas’ passing game will be about hitting open receivers next year. Case can probably do that better.

I like Swoopes and Barrett a lot. Harsin has a tough evaluation in front of him. Both run a lot more than than pass right now. I’d suggest Harsin work both out again before making a decision on who to offer.

Landing Hawkins could be HUGE. Hawkins will have a much bigger immediate impact than Peat. Hawkins could start right away at OT for Texas and allow Hopkins to move back inside. Cochran, Hopkins, Espinosa, Walters, Hawkins is maybe the best OL in the conference.

The Texas offense will be multiple, dynamic, and versatile next year. Adding Gray, Thomas Johnson and Cayleb Jones will be huge.

There has been zero indications that Johnathan will be an early enrollee.

is he sick?

I went to the Aledo game. JG had 240yds and 3 TDs in the first half. He did not play much of the second half and sat out two series in the first half. Very glad he is going to wear Burnt Orange.

I think Nick might have to place kick, kick off and punt. Could have a big impact next year. I’ve heard mixed reports on Pruitt. Will Russ needs to transfer.

You haven’t missed anything. There’s just some smoke out there that the Alamo Bowl will take the winner of Texas – Baylor.

If it’s the Insight it’ll be one of the 3 Big Ten teams mentioned.

If it’s the Alamo it will be a Pac 12 team. I think Stanford gets an at large BCS bid. Oregon in the Rose Bowl. I think Washington or Cal would be the most likely opponents with the outside chance that Stanford gets jobbed.

Texas can and probably should beat all the teams mentioned with the exception of Stanford.

However, both will play a lot and should be in the 5 man rotation. I wonder how Cayleb is going to adjust, but he’s a hell of a competitor.

I expect the coffee maker to be an interesting place tomorrow in Texas offices.

His office was covered in Texas memorabilia while he way away at EMS conference. He’s a TAMU grad of 1999. He’s one of the few intelligent Aggies who HATE the SEC move.

Should be better. The offense is even younger than the defense. I expect the skill positions to get much better, and the QB play to improve. Adding Gray is a tremendous addition. Texas will have a true home run threat who can also carry the ball 25 times a game. Very versatile. I expect the red zone offense to be much better. The return of a devastating Wildcat formation, the addition of Thomas Johnson on jet sweeps, and Cayleb Jone’s ability on jump balls will help in the red zone.

Hawkins appears to have NFL upside, and can start right away. He’s had a few years in the weight room and plenty of experience at the JUCO level. I expect an immediate impact from Hawkins should he commit to Texas.

Shipley is so important in the offense because of his ability to adjust to poorly thrown balls. This is where Cayleb can come in and help right away.

Mike unfortunately hasn’t caught many of the poorly thrown balls. He’ll catch if they can drop it in his bread basket, but if the pass is behind him or late, it’s given him a lot of trouble.

Texas needs to continue to rebuild their OL. After the 2013 class, Texas should have the horses to make us forget about MacWhorter.

DE is a pretty glaring need. MLBs are always difficult to find in state, so Brett Wade is a very important recruit. Texas must get an impact TE.

To answer your question, TE is the biggest need. Texas needs to land either RSJ or Griffin. I believe Morgan is a take also to do the dirty work in Harsin’s offense.

But I’ll take winning ugly over losing pretty every day.

I think it’ll have a lot to do with the Baylor game and if Texas wins their bowl game. With a win in both I could see Texas inside of the top 20. I think they’ll be a top 25 regardless.

Not sure about that. The ’83, ’90, and ’09 defenses were stout.

I don’t see how we aren’t in the top 10. Big time program, superb defense with name players (as well as at RB), and lots of momentum. SEC style team in a weaker conference than usual (especially if Landry goes pro).

Dave South is terrible. Even for Aggie standards.

One of the things I appreciate about Craig Way is that he makes exciting calls for exciting plays … no matter who is making them. South, on the other hand, is such a homer that if an opponent breaks eleven tackles while running for a 99-yard touchdown, you might miss the fact that he had even scored.

I think Diaz should be at the Malzahn salary level. Texas will pay him well.

There are a few good jobs opening up. I’m not going to get worried until a high profile job in Florida opens up. Manny’s father was the mayor of Miami, and he grew up there.

That’s supposed to be a W and C for Wrecking Crew. Don’t get me started on how ridiculous that is. The Aggie 90’s era D’s should be livid.

I think Hicks will have a good bowl game. He’ll have 3 weeks to get healthy. I think health could be holding Hicks back.

I don’t like speculating on this. These kids go through a great deal in their personal lives that most people don’t know about it. Russ should transfer though, he’s been disappointing at Texas and he’s a kicker on scholarship. You better be at the Justin Tucker level to be a scholarship kicker.

Made one hell of an open field tackle. If you don’t know his story you should check it out. Pretty touching. Should be a good starter next year.

They’re all good recruiters. Some are stronger evaluators, some are better with kids and coaches. Bruce Chambers is the most frequently criticized, but nobody can slap backs at DFW high schools like Coach Chambers. Kind of like Coach Wyatt, he knows EVERYBODY north of Houston.

Sally Brown is the top recruiter at Texas. Yes I’m serious, win the family, get the kid. Mothers and siblings LOVE Sally.

I think he has a bright future at Texas. I think he’s still learning this conference. He’s slowly learning the cute stuff won’t work again fast kids from Texas. I expect Harsin’s play calling to improve with better personnel next season.

Zero chance on QB, especially after Thursday. With Case staying Texas won’t take another QB in 2012 class.

Brewer has said on numerous occasions that he is enrolling early.

I don’t worry about coaches leaving after this off season.Texas made good hires once, they can do it again. If coaches leave that’s good because it means Texas is winning. That being said, I think Searels, Davis, Akina and Manny are the most difficult to replace.

as a question for BFLT. Do you think they both stick around for awhile?

Certainly not the sole reason, but it’s a factor.

I’m friendly with a few OU people, and they’re somewhat confident that he’s staying. Jones has a fiancee on the OU Women’s Basketball team who is a junior this season.

MacWhorter set back the Texas OL, there’s no other way of saying. If Texas can land Hawkins and move Hopkins back inside, the OL will get much better.

I’m rooting for Paden Kelley to become at least a valuable reserve at OT. It’s a huge need. Paden of course played at Lake Travis, and he is a 5th generation Longhorn. You can trace the Kelley Family back to the founding of The University.

I don’t haven’t heard or read about any. Armstead is iffy for the Banquet because of ACT scheduling issues. Torshiro Davis, Adrian Colbert, and Landon Collins should all be here with all of the 2012 commits. It’s possible that Javonte Magee also attends.

I like what I’ve seen from Ced Reed. He can be a good DE for Texas. We’re not really sure what Reggie Wilson can with extensive playing time. Bluiett has a lot of upside. Ridgeway’s senior film is filthy, but he’s a project.
