His older brother is transferring - nothing to see here. Just go grab one of the hundreds of kids that will be in free agency (portal) this spring.
Nah. This is typical attrition the older brother is in his third year on campus and hasn’t played a single snap of football. He’s been recruited over, and they’re from Florida so the recruit now has little reason to stay at Texas.
This likely would’ve happened no matter what was going on with Texas even if they were ranked number one in the nation coming off back to back national championships.
I'm not necessarily basing my comment on just Pouncey. There are whispers about discord and transfers after the season is over.
Herman met with each member of the 2019 class, watched film with them, and tried to solidify their relationships. This is a smart way to get out ahead of the freshman blues, homesickness, grass-is-greener players, etc... I believe cfb coaches will now have to recruit their own players year after year to combat attrition through the transfer protal.
ALSO BC tweeted out a shhhhh
So I guess the sky is not falling after all.....

Lets hope its not falling. Winning cures all. We win these next two and show some spirit doing so I'll feel better. Right now count me in the sky has crack marks allllllll over it.
This is some encouraging news. Yes, winning does cure all, and if Texas can somehow win out, it will help with recruiting big-time. Being realistic, Texas most likely isn't going to win out. I'm concerned about a lot of things for the future.
New Commit is Dajon Harrison out of Hutto, TX. Former TCU commit. Looks like a DB/WR prospect.
Kevontay Dixon decommits from Arkansas after Morris firing. He was already rumored as a strong flip candidate before Morris was canned. Something to keep an eye on.

Texas hasn't had many clear LB targets this cycle as Orlando is pretty picky at the position. A new offer went out to Ole Miss commit JAqwondis Burns. He plays at IMG academy but is originally from Texas.

Some good news. I heard this week that Bijan Robinson (RB from Arizona) reaffirmed his commitment to Texas.
I see we currently have all of one DL recruit on board. Very solid.
Recruiting is going to be tough when everyone wants the coaches fired every other year. Recruits read the press and see the tweets, I'm sure it doesn't give them confidence in their choice when all the hear is how bad the coaching is.
Nope. They see wins. They see players going to the NFL. The bad press might effect a small percentage of recruits because every school gets it from their fans.
Saw this on twitter yesterday and thought, wow this is really neat. Regardless of what you think about Herman & Co. the fact that they would at least think about this tells me a lot. Also, this tells me a ton about the Broughton family, they seem to be good people, excited to get him on campus.
Things are slow currently with the coaches being in limbo. Only new offer was to DL Sawyer Goram- Welch. Seems to be the back up plan to losing out on Van Fillinger.

Most of the 2019 guys seem committed to sticking with Texas which is good. Mike Roach of 24/7 said on his podcast that Ty Jordan is the biggest risk to flip (Graham Harrel at OC could help with that) while we should keep an eye on Troy Omiere, Quentin Johnston, Xavion Alford and Kitan Crawford though these guys haven't said or done anything as of yet to have us concerned.
Coaches are out making visits, mostly in-homes to guys already committed. I would expect a big push after NSD1 that includes the new coaches and new targets.
JaQwondis Burns is the only LB target we seem to be actively pursuing at this point. Ole Miss decommitt. https://247sports.com/player/jaqwondis-burns-46078938/
I saw guys like Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson and Edwin Simmons and David Overstreet and a few others. Leland was a talented kid..just picked the wrong school..
Ty Jordan with the flip to Utah. Talented kid who would have added some scat back abilities to the backfield which we don't currently have.
Supposedly this is false or pre-mature because there has been some backtracking by the kid recently. Apparently it stemmed from Ty telling Mike Roach that Utah was recruiting them harder. Obviously his commitment is in question tho. But word is Mom, who has cancer, wants him as close to home as possible.
Seems that he posted a commitment graphic on twitter yesterday (acct is protected). Is he backtracking from that?
Names to keep an eye on:
4 star RB from Lancaster - Kevontre Bradford. Could be back up if Ty Jordan is indeed out
https://247sports.com/Player/Kevontre-Bradford-46041118/
4 star OLB Edgerrin Cooper - recent OU decommit. Texas has shown some interest. No offer yet though.
https://247sports.com/player/edgerrin-cooper-46058718/
Jaylan Ford is a 3 star OLD. TT commit

I know Texas is in a dark place, but if Texas is recruiting you and offered you, why in the earthly hell would you choose Utah? lol.
I believe so, I just get my info from twitter and other sites. And that's what they are saying.
Interesting. Seems you are right. 24/7 still has him as a Texas commit. There is a graphic out there but perhaps someone shouldn't have put it out.
The story has been that Utah had been recruiting him harder. "showing more love" as the kids say. Also, Cam Rising hosted him on his visit.
Following recruiting means having to follow the whims of 16 and 17 year old kids. Maybe it will keep us young, though I feel like it is aging me more than anything.
