Whittington needs touches. If this guy stays healthy he will be gone by year 3. 

Health is the big issue, but otherwise I concur. I think he's a special player. Regardless of where he ends up (RB, WR) he'll be a play maker.

Burns and Harrison are OVing. Haven't seen a UOV list.

IT

Spoiler

Harrison and Jaqwondis Burns will be on official visits this weekend. They'll be joined by a handful of others.

Jaqwondis Burns, IMG Academy (via Terrell, TX) - LB (OLE MISS): The three-star 'backer currently pledged to Ole Miss. Burns and UT have been in close contact recently, and despite his commitment to the Rebels, is looking hard at UT. If UT pushes hard, and using an official suggests they will, Texas is a legitimate threat to steal him from the entire SEC.

Dajon Harrison, Hutto - ATH (TEXAS): There wasn’t a happier kid in the state this week after he realized his dream of committing to play for the Longhorns. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect can play on either side of the ball. He prefers offense but is open to defense.

Prince Dorbah, Highland Park - OLB (TEXAS): The four-star pledge recently accepted an invitation to participate in the Polynesian Bowl (HS all-star game). Why the Polynesian Bown and not the more popular UA game or Army Bowl? “It’s in Hawaii,” said Dorbah. All you had to say, bro.

Jalen Milroe, QB - Katy Tompkins (TEXAS) (2021): Milroe is readying for a deep playoff run but in the meantime he'll get some more face time with the coaches and fellow commits.

Jaylen Garth, Port Neches-Groves - OL (TEXAS) (2020): Garth missed his senior season due to injury but he's still a big part of UT's future plans on the o-line.

Jaden Hullaby, Mansfield Timberview - ATH (TEXAS) (2020): He's showing his athleticism while playing quarterback this season. Has the potential to become a "where did he come from" player.

Juan Davis, Everman - TE (TEXAS) (2021): Like Hullaby, Davis is also playing quarterback despite projecting elsewhere in college. The 6-foot-4, 220 pounder's upside resides at TE.

Lake McRee, Lake Travis - TE (TEXAS) (2021): McRee was denied a certain breakout year due to injury but fortunately for him he has another season remaining.

Looking ahead, Texas will host two interesting prospects on 11/29: Tyler Junior College OLB/DE Maureesee Wren and Mt. Enterprise (TX) ATH Kendre Miller.

Wren, a former La Tech WR signee, could be attrition insurance, while Miller has recently caught the attention of schools like Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State, and Baylor.

Miller is one of the nation’s leading rushers, with over 2,500 yards on the ground through Week 10. At 6-foot, 205, he looks like an inside LB at the next level.

Both are certainly ones to monitor heading down the final stretch.

Finally, Tom Herman and Oscar Giles were at Bastrop Cedar Creek this morning to see priority defensive end Alfred Collins. They also took the time to talk with some teachers.

Not that it's relevant to us anymore, but I realized I hadn't heard anything about Chad Lindberg in a while. Looks like his ranking has been going in the opposite direction.

Bumped him to #163 in the nation.  

Spiegelman mentioned him getting a Rivals bump whenever they have next rankings.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,084]

Let's try not to shit the bed tomorrow.

The Football Brainiacs are reporting Collins will be at the game tomorrow.

At the end of the Mack Brown epoch, we take Lindberg at the first junior camp. He stays a four star prospect because we signed him early. Karic meanwhile goes to Baylor and is a three year starter and two time all Big 12 tackle. 

Charlie Strong would have signed neither player. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,084]

Noticed ESPN has Harrison as a 4*.

There is one school since we have joined the Big 12 that has scouted Texas and consistently shoved  every one of our schematic weaknesses directly up our ass. 
 

And to top it off they just pantsed the OU defense and currently look like the hottest team in the conference. I’m going to just assume Saturday will be hard to watch.

I’m feeling better about our prospects next year with waddle. I wish he would have transferred sooner.

The de-commits were processed.  They didn’t want to win out.  Just ask @futureman.  Probably will go play for a terrible team that we will beat convincingly in the near future.

The decommits weren't very damaging. Not ideal, but not horrific. The tough thing is trying to hold on to Bijan with OSU raping and pillaging the Big Ten.

Nothing we can't manage... Bijan or Alfred Collins (who hopefully liked what he saw today) would be devastating losses.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5,341]

Bijan should like what he saw today against a very good rush defense. 

Collins should be happy with the DL performance and the increased use of 4 man fronts (praise Allah). 

[GotThatFire 166]

I don’t like like that Bijan was susceptible to the slimy used car salesman pitch from OSU, something about their coach telling him “just be patient recruiting is a long process”. Bitch you pressured him into committing, he decommitted from you and went to the school he really wanted to be at. 

[Sgt Hulk 13,637]

Bijan is an EE correct?  Gotta win out and look strong in the run game like KI looked today and get him signed in dec

No.  But is supposedly signing early.

If he pushes signing day out. That’s going to garner some interesting responses

Didn't one of the reporters (Roach, maybe?) say that OSU isn't the threat to look out for due to the distance from home, but that USC could be trouble if they make a good hire (namely, one slimy retiree)?

bijan never committed to OSU you dimwit. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 11,912]

Bijan admitted his heart is with Texas and felt pressure by tOSU and Ransom to commit. He knew it didn't feel right, and has a tight bond with Drayton. 

[ShowMeALoss 143]

If you think the new USC coach would  just swoop in and take Bijan from Texas, you don't know how good a recruiter Drayton is.

How can they be losses if Drayton didn't want them?
