It's painful watching you guys twist into finding a way that McCoy could have come here, but for that danged OV and ESD compounding his temporary enthusiasm for USC. You've taken it to the point that you're now researching ways and precedent for bailing on a signed LOI. Holy shit. Y'all mocked the EJ Holland "he only knew at the podium" narrative with Cain, but now you're concocting that same premise for McCoy.
As long as there is a demand for false hope, there will always be the supply. I cannot wait for him to commit to USC already so we can move on.

Brandon Jones.., last, but not least, another uber-athlete on the defensive side of the ball at safety. Brandon, if needed, could excel at any defensive back position, but long term projects as a safety and is the most talented safety prospect since Earl Thomas to arrive on the 40 Acres. This kid’s a great person, great football player, and can flat-out fly, as he is a 4.3 40-yard runner himself and a tackling machine. Expect big things.

Do you have fucking eye balls or have you watched any Texas football this year?

We did a great job with Anderson and Watson but at some point it's time to develop and use all of these blue chip recruits we have been signing. We have signed a lot of talent at corner and the main reason you go to the grad transfer route is to solve a hole in recruiting. It was necessary this year at tackle and rb and it will probably be necessary at rb again since we whiffed this year in recruiting but I do not see the need in the secondary. Green and Cook are the future so no reason to try to slow their development curve.

In his $9.95, Chip Brown says he was in the crowd of people scrambling for safety. Maybe Bevo knew this and that was his real target. I mean imagine how awesome it would have been if Chip Brown had been gored by Bevo.
If that happened I would personally pay for a statue of Bevo with F. Chip Brown’s head impaled on his horn.

IT: Bru and Randomness
Information seems to be mixed on whether or not Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) five-star wide receiver Bru McCoy signed during the December window. It's either been hinted or reported elsewhere that he did sign, but from the UT point of view that doesn't seem to be the case. If Texas is right -- and I assume they're simply going by what the McCoy's have told them -- then that's a positive because they needed the Georgia win to make one final push for him before he announces on Saturday at the All American game in San Antonio. I'm pretty confident he did not sign.
Texas held a lead in this recruitment even into December and after his in-home visit with Kliff Kingsbury. However, the official visit to Southern Cal had the predictable effect of pushing momentum in SC's favor. Mater Dei is a USC pipeline school and two of USC's best players are close friends with McCoy. As @HelmetBoy correctly opined, UT had the misfortune of getting in good with the one guy at Mater Dei, and in Southern California in general, not turned off by the Clay Helton era.
Along with the big Sugar Bowl victory, Texas could benefit from continued Kliff Kingsbury rumors. It's possible that Kingsbury could end up elsewhere. If so, that instability would reinforce concerns the McCoy's have had about the Trojans program.
[you know what gif goes here]
Of course Texas will use that victory as a selling point to Deondrick Glass. I'm looking forward to catching up with his father later today. There are similaritities to Glass' and Tre Watson's styles of running and opportunity abounds next season.
And yes, Jalen Catalon will be made well aware of the differences in trajectories between Arkansas, TCU, and Texas. Justin received one of the best quotes of the cycle regarding that recruitment but that's for the post-NSD2 Aftermath piece.
Should Texas miss on Glass that would bring Newton's Darwin Barlow into clearer view. I asked a TCU source what he thought about him. "I think Barlow has it all. Total package at RB. Only thing I don't know is how quickly he will learn it but RB is a pretty easy position to pick up in our offense. Figured UT would be on him harder by now."
Right after one of those Watson runs around end my phone buzzed from my Dallas SOC coaching buddy. This guy has never really respected the Texas football program. He's one of many that has criticized Texas for being soft. He's tough to impress which makes me value his opinion even more. "This UT team under Herman is very different. Doesn't run out of bounds (copping out of contact). Finishing ball carriers. Waayyy different. That's a culture thing."
Since we were communicating I asked him about his defensive end Stephen Parker. The former Tech commit opened his recruitment up when Matt Wells didn't keep former SOC HC Emmett Jones. "He has UCLA, Nebraska, and Kansas left for visits. I don't think he's going to TCU. Kansas is the last one and that says something to me." Les Miles hired Jones at Kansas. UT has shown interest in Parker, with Herman even going to see him, but he seemed next up if Texas didn't sign Myron Warren.
Shameful. Just shameful.

Omenihu is going to be a big loss, but we're arguably upgrading at the other positions. I think our DL next year is going to be improved.
Just not having Hager or Wheeler on the field will help tremendously. Did you guys see CO get pissed off when he was taken out in favor of Hager on Georgia's last drive? That would piss me off too.

Except for that last targeting call being upheld so now one of our starting corners next year misses the first half of the Louisiana Tech game. That was clear shoulder-to-shoulder contact by Cook. Yes it was late after the slide started so it was a late hit personal foul, but it was not targeting.
I honestly did not even think the Davis penalty was targeting.
Cook's hit was either dirty or patently stupid but it was nowhere near the definition of targeting. Can they waive that suspension on review?

sorry to see the seniors go but we have to get a lot better on the OL. guys like angilau and tyler johnson and christian jones and kerstetter and all the rest of them too need to get bigger and meaner than we’ve been in a long time. gotta get the running game more consistent.
We just ran for 200 yards against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
