CT would know more but I recall Wiggins was supposed to be let go last year. I can’t believe A&M picked him up. 

Saban was supposedly weighing chopping him, but he was already dealing with more staff turnover than he cared for and the guy got a stay of execution.

Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

Sorta how they got Jimbo. Not wanted at his current position; A&M considers getting him a huge coup.

It’s easier to hire a dismissed coach from another team, than to hire one that isn’t planning on leaving and needs a huge incentive to leave!

Looks like a case of the QB's height being exaggerated and the punter's height being under.  Owens is allegedly 6'5" and Kern is reported at 6'3"

Look at the eye level. Theyre all about the expected height. TyAnthony looks lighter than expected though. Or Wingo is just built like a tank.

The punter making the linebacker look small is a fun surprise.

Trevor Gerland punted at Texas from ‘06-‘09. Went to my kids high school, was a 4.4 guy, all state in Football and track, finished second to Jamaal Charles at the 5A State Championship in the 110 m hurdles. Fastest punter I ever saw.

It’s nice having multifaceted players.

Didn’t Nick Rose have the 40 record at his hs?

Mack Brown was an idiot for never once running a fake with a fast as shit punter.

Owens is legitimately 6'5".

Yep, he was measured at 6' 5 1/8" & 239 (or 238) at the UA weigh in and measure.

This was announced within the last 3 or 4 days.

If he were 6' 1/8", he would normally be listed 6'1" or 6'2" on a team roster. At 6' 5 1/8", I don't think that he is going to push to be listed 6'6" or 6'7". He'll just keep it at 6'5".

That is probably a little like my dad coming in second to Jack Nicklaus in golf in high school.

FWIW - Texas' listed team roster is actually, surprisingly, fairly accurate for the most part.

Maybe, but it looks like to me that we are going to start hearing Wingo to linebacker.

this seems like the kind of thing you self report/add in and nobody ever fact checks.

One of the things I like about the Aussies is that their Aussie Rules backgrounds usually mean they're big and can fuck up a returner who gets through the coverage team and thinks he's home free.

For reference, per the 247 rankings Owens is the 5th (of 6) ranked QB participating in the AA Bowl. 

He’ll get a jump from 247. Best QB in their all star game. I get he goes from a 90 to 95.

aggy will of course that Miles O’Neill is better and faced tougher competition in NJ against future Bard College intramural all stars.

You realize a 95 is basically top 100 player in the country, territiry, right? You think they're upping him to a mid-high 4 star? 

Tell me, would you like to place a wager on this absurdity? To illustrate the ballpark, you think they're going to rank him around Dealyn Evans now. Higher than Weston Davis.
