Content is In$ider, but here's a sneak peek at the Texas rankings. 33. Aaron Williams (grade: 89) 56. Curtis Brown (84) 131. Chykie Brown (63) 133. Sam Acho (62) Yeah, not a lot of Texas representation at all. Kheeston Randall should definitely be on the list. Other Texas potentials include seniors Eddie Jones and Kyle Hix, and juniors who could have big seasons in Keenan Robinson, Christian Scott, and Malcolm Williams. For those interested, Jake Locker was number one overall. A&M actually beats Texas with a higher overall Von Miller at 20, although he's the only Aggie on the list. OU first checks in at 18 with Travis Lewis.
I think Gerald McCoy is a fine player and all, but after watching the both of them play quite a bit this past year, I've never quite understood how people have him ranked over Suh. Whatever; I'm not a draft analyst or scout.
I know it's not relevant to BON, but it's a must share.
Pretty good article from ESPN on why Texas Title hopes are not over.
UTEP made it too!
Here's a good look at how the national media is viewing Mack's stellar 2009 recruiting class. Per ESPN's Tom Luginbill: "What else is new? If ever there was a proponent for an early signing period, it would be Mack Brown's Texas program. Most importantly, it has hit the marks at quarterback in Garrett Gilbert (Austin, Texas/Lake Travis) and on the offensive line. Cornerback Marcus Davis (League City, Texas/Cleer Creek) is very talented and physical. Why no one is talking about TE Barrett Matthews (Houston/North Shore), we have no idea. If RB Chris Whaley (Madisonville, Texas) pans out, then Texas may have filled its running back need, but we feel Whaley could still end up at another position."
