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...
2010 GoBR Texas 25 Debut
First, a note about this list -- most recruiting rankings do a poor job of explaining how they go about ranking prospects and the great majority don't even seem to provide any explanations at all. Is it based on upside, on projections about how good a player could end up being or is it based on...
2010 Texas Football Class -- The GoBR Awards
Biggest get -- The Crowning Six (tie) It's impossible to decide between the top six players in the class -- Mike Davis, Darius White, Jackson Jeffcoat, Reggie Wilson, Jordan Hicks, and Tevin Jackson. Call it lazy, but all of these players have the chance to leave an indelible impact on the Texas...
Evening Brewsky is Short and Sweet
Sooners lead slightly for Franklin. Expected to announce his decision some time in the next two weeks, Marshall linebacker Aaron Franklin hasn't revealed much about his current thoughts, but does say that he feels more comfortable with the Oklahoma Sooners at present, the result of a longer length...
Afternoon Brewsky Isn't Shocked At Losing Nelson

Morning Coffee Gets Offensive
DeSoto full of talent. Beyond Adrian White, beyond Darius Terrell, beyond Evan Washington, there is still talent at DeSoto High School, especially in the 2011 class. Perhaps no player in that group that includes quarterback Ryan Polite, running back Antoine Jimmerson, and wide receiver David...
Morning Coffee Talks Jake Matthews
Aggies and Horns still on top for Matthews. Since the last update, not much has changed on the list of Fort Bend Elkins offensive lineman Jake Matthews, who possesses one of the few outstanding offers from the Longhorns. Texas A&M and Texas remain at the top ($), with the USC Trojans still a...
Sunday Jamboree At DKR
Spring game preview - Playing on a field short 10 yards and with a rolling clock limiting the number of plays, the Spring Game is a welcome return to football on the 40 Acres, but won't show any new wrinkles offensively or defensively tipping off 2009 opponents. Straight vanilla -- base offense...
Morning Coffee Looks At Outstanding Offers
Order of need for current outstanding offers. Jackson Jeffcoat - Perhaps the best player in the state, Jeffcoat would secure the future of the defensive end position for years and provide a replacement for Eddie Jones and Sam Acho. Reggie Wilson - See above. What makes Wilson so special is that...
