Hey, maybe the kid is going to sign with Maryland and follow his dad to all ends of the earth if need-be, but Texas seems like a really good situation for him and the question for the Longhorns if he commits is whether it impacts Gentry. My guess is they are telling Gentry they view Locksley as an athlete-first and that he shouldn't have anything to worry about, that he's just a quarterback insurance policy, while they tell Locksley that he's a quarterback-first and will get every shot to prove it. Right now, I'll go ahead and project the Longhorns to land both
for now.

Ketch,
You make a solid case for us getting both Gentry and Locksley, but don't see Strong & Co. blowing any smoke at Gentry regarding competition for the position. That doesn't seem to be Charlie's MO, and these kids are close enough to compare notes & expose that kind of double-talk, which neither would appreciate. Gentry knows (or should) that he'll have to earn it every day, & seems confident enough to buy in on that basis.

... Fans are known as Gooners. Which would seem to have great t-shirt potential. Colin Firth's favorite team. Located in London. Like the Green Bay Packers, the team is owned by its fan-base, which can buy shares of the team.

Congrats on "The Decision", man; but if you're going to be a fan of British soccer, you've got to learn the language.
