Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

Oh God please get this man to Austin. Now.

According to CBS Sports, Derek David was arrested for sexual assault on a 16 year old girl. He has also decommitted from Texas Tech recently and has opened his recruiting back up, already receiving offers from Alabama and USC. It never amazes me how Mack can spot character issues a mile away and maybe this will help spell the Nation as to why we did not recruit this kid too heavily. Thoughts?

2012 prospect out of Klein Forest HS in Northwest Harris County (Houston) was injured in the second quarter against Katy Cinco Ranch on opening night of football. It was a knee injury that took him out of the game, and Klein Forest coach, Keith Hammock stated that it could be serious, possible ACL tear. Also, Daniel Lasco from the Woodlands rolled his ankle and sat out the rest of the game after the 2nd offensive series. The injury appears to not be serious. The Woodlands beat Monterrey Tech (Yes....from Mexico) in a rout, 44-7. Lasco link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/hso/7173617.html

Alabama and Texas settled the 2009 crown in Pasadena and now they're set to face off for the 2010 mythical recruiting championship during the next 3½ weeks.
