^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
First, let's congratulate all of the 2012 Texas Longhorn commitments as they gather their pens to ink their LOI's today. This is shaping up to be arguably one of the best overall rated Texas classes in almost a decade.
Note to recruits: The next several months, and your first season or two, are known as probation period. Not a ton of expectations but should you choose to play out of your mind, rest assured internet heathens will work to make you heroes. However, not play to potential and you risk the scathing scorn of a fickle fan base played out on the www for all to see. I apologize in advance grown men and women (mostly the former) act this way but that is just the way it works.
Second, move over GBR, BLT, and GHG90. While we appreciate the untold volume of recruitnik updates you've bestowed upon us (emphasis on volume of appreciation), we're a little sick and tired of your play it straight drivel (soft ankles and supple hips...is that really necessary?). It's now time for the crazy, whacked out, unreasonable Longhorn fan to give it a go at the wheel.
This was supposed to be a DGB lottery open thread but it appears Texas was told late yesterday to move along. Coach Wyatt is to be congratulated for his tireless efforts in working to land the once-in-a-decade potential talent. However, DGB was considered a cherry on top for the 2012 class (although I'm sure we'll debate the what if to death over the coming seasons). Cherries are usually eaten well after the meat and potatoes portion of the meal. And yes, Longhorn fan, we've got the staples well dished up in this class.
We are already at 6 enrolled and 21 verbals going into the day with one firm card left in hand and maybe one in the hole depending on if the Howell transfer report yesterday is firm. At this time, there are no reports of any late flips or gets for the Longhorns but stranger things have happened.
Regardless, a big salute is in order to the Longhorn staff who worked tremendously hard in sewing up another top 5 rated class. They've been working tirelessly for weeks to secure the talent necessary to inch are way back to the top of the heap. I tip my cap to these gentlemen. It says a lot about the program especially given the one game over .500 performance the last two seasons thanks to Cal mailing it in. I guess the LHN is worth something afterall.
There is lots of content on BON to familiarize yourself with the latest class and we've created a handy reference found below.
Our plan is to update this post throughout the day with takes on inbound LOI's and the like. But get in early as Coach Brown is a morning person and has emphasized to all prospects the importance of sending in their faxed commitments by 10:00 a.m. (Seriously, people still use a fax machine?).
We'll have a preview of Coach Brown's 3:30 p.m. press conference later today so please stay tuned for that.
So here's how this breaks down, BONizens. We need your help. Scatter the interwebs to find the latest breaking information and share away in the thread. Or, just let us know your thoughts on the new college football talent both waiting to be molded into Longhorns and all the other teams we could care less about (Poor Aggie news is welcome).
This is your open thread. Have at it.
As always, Texas Fight.
Hook 'em.

Great post
It seems like we have an OOS spurn us almost every year on signing day.The TE from Washington,Westerman,Perriloux and now DGB.
I guess it’s all in how you look at it.It’s a compliment to our program that the top players in the nation consider us but then we get that stab in the heart when they decide to stay home.
There is tons of talent in this class.If our coaches are who we think they are they can coach em up to the BCS level.
DGB
He never led us on, not like the other three.
True. This was a case of fans getting ahead of the 18yo recruit.
He considered us as he said. Never claimed to be Texas Bound.
3rd Degree Longhorn
Speaking of spurning....
in case y’all missed it, Auburn got spurned pretty hardcore by a talented three-star Georgia kid named Jordan Moore who picked TCU over them. Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.
Seeing Auburn’s class, you’ve got to wonder if Christian Westerman is looking around and wondering if he didn’t make the wrong decision after all. The two programs seem to be going in opposite directions. Oops!

We get spurned by some...
and others choose us.
It probably all averages out in the end.

Congratsto the 2012 class and to our coaching staff...
The changes in philosophy have been long needed and obvious with this class. Taking more time to evaluate, going harder after OOS players, reaching out to selected juco players at positions of need, not settling for quick commitments all indicate a staff willing to go the extra mile.
GREAT CLASS! Seems like we filled every position with strong players except TE.
Would have loved to have gotten a couple elite TEs in this class. Were there any TEs from Texas this year that we missed on?
3rd Degree Longhorn
Not any that fit our scheme.
The best rated TE in the state (Griffin Gilbert) is a spread TE weighing in at about 215. I think Texas is more interested in blocking first TEs that can get up the seam every now and then. Not a good year for TEs in state, IMO.

Read yesterday where Rick Neuheisel said...
“there is no letter of intent, you don’t have them til they go to a class”. I didn’t know that. Wonder how many have changed their “commitment” after LOI and what that means for the school and the player.
I thought a LOI was a binding contract.
Does he mean you don’t have them because they have to go to class to stay eligible?
by 40A on Feb 1, 2012 8:07 AM CST up reply actions
I'm not sure how that works
but one of the freshman on the basketball team, Jaylen Bond, signed his LOI with Pitt and somehow got out of it and enrolled here back in August.
"If crime was justified by need it would be the occupation of the masses."- Chief Gillespie
Pitt released him from his LOI, though.
He couldn’t just voluntarily go somewhere else.
"Hey, don't y'all think that's beautiful right there? That crystal is SO beautiful. And it's coming home to Texas." - Vince Young
And Pitt was pretty happy to do it, in that case
Pitt had messed up, and didn’t have enough scholarships for everyone who signed. They got a late commitment from Khem Birch. Maybe someone else as well, I am not quite sure. Anyway, there weren’t enough scholarships to go around, and Bond was the odd man out.
Birch just announced his transfer to UNLV.

I guess I did to.
My takeaway was that, if the athlete hasn’t enrolled and become a student, he’s not a member of the football team and there is no commitment. But that was just the context…I don’t know the rules. I understand that this signing period (for football) actually goes from today unitl April 1st?
That makes sense.
But I guess I don’t understand. I guess it is a “letter of INTENT”, but what’s the point? Make enrollment the end-all-be-all.

Matt Davis - ags QB recruit has some more Twitter gems...
Matt Davis, one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks, should fit in well at Texas A&M, judging by his dislike of Texas.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound quarterback blasted the Longhorns on his Twitter account, @That_DavisGuy.
“I hope one day these kids realize that if you play receiver and Texas ‘wants’ you, they’re gonna sign you and stash you for 4 years,” Davis tweeted, following the news that former Texas A&M commit Bralon Addison had signed with Oregon.
Davis went on to suggest that the school only recruits wide receivers to keep them away from rival schools.
“They have a pre-meditated roster, if you’re not on it, oh well have fun on 6th street cause that’s as far as you’ll go,” he tweeted.
He specifically called out Longhorns safety Blake Gideon.
“And again, EVERYTHING at Texas is political. It had to be because Blake Gideon should of NEVER touched the field! Lol. He’s Terrible,” Davis tweeted.
The opportunity to play against Texas was one of the big reasons that Davis chose to sign with Texas A&M.
“It’s not necessarily I don’t like them. I’m not saying I do. But I want to play them. I’ve always wanted to play them,” Davis told MaxPreps in the fall.
I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I am a college football fan.
Ha! And playing QB for aggy is the road to super-stardom!
We're going to play like we're in a bad mood.
Something does not compute...
“The opportunity to play against Texas was one of the big reasons that Davis chose to sign with Texas A&M.”

Agree Completely on the Position

I know he's coming off a redshirt, and played small-school ball, but McFarland is my hope
Between him, Grant, Terrell, and Matthews (with Poehlmann as the new EBS), I think UT is fine waiting for next year’s class. There’s also the possibility that someone else moves, or Bluiett plays offense. With RSJ and such in 2013, TE doesn’t strike me as the biggest need.

What do you think of farmers? You think they’re saints? Hah! They’re foxy beasts! They say, “We’ve got no rice, we’ve no wheat. We’ve got nothing!” But they have! They have everything! Dig under the floors! Or search the barns! You’ll find plenty! Beans, salt, rice, sake! Look in the valleys, they’ve got hidden warehouses! They pose as saints but are full of lies! If they smell a battle, they hunt the defeated! They’re nothing but stingy, greedy, blubbering, foxy, and mean! God damn it all! But then who made them such beasts? You did! You samurai did it! You burn their villages! Destroy their farms! Steal their food! Force them to labour! Take their women! And kill them if they resist! So what should farmers do?

"If crime was justified by need it would be the occupation of the masses."- Chief Gillespie
OU gets a commitment from Florida CB Gary Simon
They were really strapped for defensive recruits. Depending on whether you count some athletes (Daniel Brooks, Devin Woods, and Zach Sanchez) as offense or defense, they had just four defensive guys (Brooks and Woods could play WR or DB), but have added two definite defensive recruits and an extra athlete (Sanchez from Killeen might play safety), giving them up to nine on defense. Note that two are juco guys.
Given that Striker is the only defensive Rivals gave more than three stars (Woods is listed as a four-star WR there), are rated higher than three stars on Rivals (Woods is considered a four-star safety and juco Kasseim Everett a four-star CB on Scout) , it still looks like a really, really lean defensive class for them.

is from Keller and he would have to put on a lot of weight to play safety (he sits at 170). Ou has told Brooks he will get his first shot at RB.

Are they?
Texas is second on Rivals (FSU #6) and first on Scout (FSU #15). The only one that’s close is 247, which has Texas second and FSU third. What is puzzling is why it’s so close, based on the breakdown:
Texas
5* X 2
4* X 20
3* X 5
2* X 1 (kicker)
FSU
5* X 2
4* X 10
3* X 5
2* X 1 (punter)
Not sure how ten fewer 4* recruits puts them right on UT’s heels.

While we have quite a few ATH's
we have only two WR’s, a position I think we really need some help in. Losing Johnson and DBG kind of shot that position. Don’t get me wrong. The two we have are very good, but we could have used a couple of more. I’m willing to bet a couple of the Ath’s will go offense rather than D.

Daje

We are brining in Marcus Johnson, Cayleb Jones, Kendall Sanders, Daje. This is to go along with Onyegbule, Harris, Shipley, Davis, Goodwin. We have plenty of WR talent, it’s time for these players to produce.
