2010 Texas Recruiting Class -- The Misses
Note: Mack Brown mentioned during his press conference that the Longhorns only offered 30 scholarships, but the unofficial numbers indicate 34 scholarship offers. Since it's impossible to know which four of these players did not receive a scholarship offer, this post will operate under the...
Morning Coffee Belatedly Talks Recruiting
OU comfort -- that simple. Belated thoughts on Aaron Franklin. The Marshall linebacker went to Oklahoma because he built a larger level of comfort with the coaches by developing relationships over the course of nearly a year. He had less than two months with Texas. The important women in his life...
Morning Coffee Barely Makes the Morning
Two future Longhorns to participate in Nike Global Challenge. Canadian countrymen and fellow Longhorn commits Tristan Thompson and Myck Kabongo were both scheduled to participate in the adidas Nation tournament that started on Tuesday, but changed their plans and will now play for the Canadian team...
Afternoon Brewsky Gears Up For Fall Practice
Franklin still torn over decision. Marshall linebacker Aaron Franklin almost made his decision without ever being able to sit down with Mack Brown and company and tour the Texas campus. Almost. After a last-minute change of heart on taking a trip to Austin in an effort to give the Texas coaches a...
Evening Brewsky is Short and Sweet

Football players...
Morning Coffee Finally Reviews Sunday's Camp (Updated)
