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...
Another De-Commit: Apo to BYU
Maybe it was a big deal when former 2010 wide receiver commit Ross Apo wore OU shorts to the Palo Alto Nike Camp several weeks ago. Or maybe it was a big deal that he was even there -- the Arlington Oakridge receiver caught passes from recent BYU commit Jake Heaps, a fellow Mormon and the...
Morning Coffee Is All About the Lists
Bigs on 2010 wish list. Daniel Bejarano and Tristan Thompson by themselves make quite a pair for the 2010 Longhorn basketball class, but Rick Barnes and company aren't finished, looking for a back-to-the-basket big to compliment the two players already committed. The two foremost names are Josh...
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 Coffe Has Your Analysis
Snapshot: DJ Augustin. Unfortunately for Texas fans wanting to watch former basketball players in the NBA, Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin both play for teams with virtually no national television exposure. So when the Bobcats came to San Antonio for a game against the Spurs televised on FSN, it was...
Morning Coffee Asks Wood to Go to Work
Wood at work for the Horns. It doesn't take long for certain types of story lines with delicious appeal to spread. Remember a month ago? The '09 class just signed? No offers were out to anyone for 2010? One of the stories then was about the close-knit nature of the recruiting class, grown from...
Second Junior Day Nets Seven New Commitments
It was an insanely wild weekend at the second Texas Junior Day, with the Longhorns picking up commitments from seven recruits, far above the number of 3-4 I expected to commit and putting the Longhorns at 19 commitments already. Even at the high range, I would not have guessed more than five....
Final Junior Day Thoughts Before the Weekend
Four recruits already on campus. Mack Brown and his staff like to bring in several players each Junior Day to meet with the coaches privately and, on this Junior Day, to also observe the first day of spring practice. There are four confirmed players who will be at practice today. Jake Matthews is...
Morning Coffee Blanks On A Title
Slipping through the cracks. As I did more research around the interwebs, I realized that my list of February 28th Junior Day attendees was not complete. Here are those other attendees: Intriguing Ashton Dorsey (defensive tackle) - The younger brother of Adren Dorsey ($), currently a member of...
