Sure if we can get Duvernay, Lewis, maybe even Burt deep it will be fun to see. And don't laugh about Burt. Maybe sitting out a year and working with the receiving coach we'll see some of that promise that he showed when he came here.

I think one of the biggest things that is keeping Burt from becoming a better WR is during the spring, majority of his time is spent running track. That is not a knock on Burt or anything like that but he missed key time that could be used to help develop him as a WR.
What makes you think Lewis is gonna be an option right away? He's got his work cut for him trying to beat out the likes of Smith and Whittington. Hope he's enrolling early, because those two will be in Austin next month.
I actually think Jake Smith turns out to be the best of the bunch, and I'm biased toward Whittington. Jake is just a freak. Jamaal Charles level acceleration and speed, great hands, and umcanny awareness and ball tracking skills.
I've told you guys this before but worth repeating here. I live about 3 mile from Notre Dame High which is where Jake goes to school.
I've seen them play 3 times this year. His accelaration is jaw dropping. I'm talking Marquis Goodwin speed but better moves and hands.
I believe he will play as a freshman but you just never know. Right now he is as fast as anyone at Texas playing football. It's going to be fun watching him progress and get bigger and stronger. Look out Big 12.

Kinda hoping Cain and McCoy were the silent....Hey it’s almost Christmas, just asking Ol St Nick for some help....
Hamm is trying to get customers and wants to screw with EJ. Those 2 guys are the biggest homers and are not to be taken seriously.
I don’t know, something has been off with his recruitment all year. Seems like he likes to play the two schools against each other to see who comes up with the best deal.
For what it’s worth, EJ Holland stated today on his Periscope feed that Johnson and Lewis were the 2 silents.
EJ was backpedaling big time tonight, but I agree Hamm is the GOAT when it come to BS.
And wait until you find out who his super secret visitor was. Very Hammish.
Plano started the huge high school trend. Only way they could beat Highland Park.
Everyone has signed excepts Caleb Johnson (west coast guy) and Jevonne Shepard (not signing early)
Shepard is not worth it. He has some serious character flaws. Find a replacement and cut him loose. Let aggy waste $50000 on signing him.
Caleb Johnson is in! Everyone except Shepard has sign early.... that's HUGE win and locks up a top 10 class with guys still on the board and some late gems to add before Feb NSD2
Some late optimism for Noah Cain as well. Should be announcing within the 10 o'clock hour this morning.
Glass, come on down. The staff has some work to do if they want to break into the current top tier of football schools. It can be done but they are fighting some serious $$$$ headwinds.
Why do I get the feeling that this was a last minute decision?
Also felt like there was an element of settling for something that was not among his top 3-4 choices.
Who knows what happens behind the scenes.
Best wishes to him.
There is a very easy option. Just do not engage with the school you do not want to go to.
My kid is applying for college. No applications go out to schools we do not want to consider.
Of course, there are no SEC schools on the list. None of them make the cut academically.
Only 1 Big12 school made the cut!
Boy, Texas needs to get out of this dumpster of a conference. Big 10 would be the best fit.
Not for sure. He was probably the visitor on Saturday. We are one RB injury away from trouble now that Toniel Carter is gone.
I agree. We need to grab one more really good one this cycle. I just haven't heard much about him to us recently.
Well boys, we struck out today. People will try to spin it but we wiffed on the kids we had to have.
This is not a good development. Herman and co didn't close.

It's time to go to the B1G. A move to the B1g consolidates our recruiting strength by limiting tv access to the other b12 schools. Time to consolidate power.
Cain says he woke up thinking Texas.
“To be honest, I was a Texas lean this morning. I was telling my parents, Texas, Texas, Texas,” Cain said. “But I prayed, and it was a hard night just going back on Penn State or Texas. Those were the two final schools that were here with me until this day. They stayed with me consistently. Honestly it came down to where would I be the most focused at and not around distractions. Everybody knows Austin is a big city but I have to be focused through and out. I’m a business dude, I gotta handle my business. And just be different. It might not be the most popular decision, but it is the best decision for myself.”
Basically talked himself out of coming to Austin.

Hes 17/18. Still just a kid. Had to pick a straw and he pysched himself out. Oh well.
Austin too much of a distraction. Penn State not as many. The city, the lake, the food, the people, the girls.
