Any chance Shepherd gets reinstated on his High School Team after sitting out a game or two as punishment??

I'm not sure it matters. I don't care how quick his feet are. If he's eating his way out of his scholarship, fighting coaches, and tweeting out cryptic and dramatic shit about how wild his recruitment is going to be, I don't think he's a dude that the staff will want anyway. Those dudes almost NEVER produce in college.

Agree.... think TEXAS coaches thought Shepherd might grow up after a year or two in college and really want his buddy Demas.

I'm not sure Horns should waste time on Shepherd though.... What is it that Herman says about recruiting?? Something like "it's not about the ones you don't get, it's about making the right assessments on the Recruits that you do get"....

Chris Petersen's saying: OKG... "Our Kinda Guys"

Just found this quote from TFB:

"***On that note, I’m told that despite Javonne Shepherd no longer being on his high school team (though I suspect it will get remedied), Texas doesn’t have any intentions of dropping him. Don’t sense they have that luxury right now, anyway."

If that's true, then what the fuck is k0ppoe?

What kind of fucking lunatic are you, man? It's bad enough that that insipid blob got loose from the realignment thread and started showing up... on every other football thread. We don't need you or anyone else raining that water torture down on us on the recruiting board. Fuck.

Shepard comes to UT, Mehringer switches to coaching tackles, first practice Shepard punches him in the face and Mehringer is fired and Shepard is made team captain. 

In a long history of outstanding posts, this is perhaps your most serious, realistic, hopeful and insightful. I'll practice Santeria if it will help make this happen.

Super K answered this question today...

***Javonne Shepherd let me know that he is back with his team at North Forest and is expected to play in the next game."

didn’t he run a 4.9 at 330 lbs at a camp recently?

Yea,  I imagine he has a brand to protect too.  If too many of his kids bust in d1 parents will wonder if it's worth the money,  and coaches will wonder if it's worth the money/butt kissing.

Carter’s footwork is not an issue. It’s his lack of ability to hold on to the gotdam football.

People have to stop clinging on to every word a kid says. 99% of the time it has zero to do with football. They're kids. They post cryptic shit on social media over the dumbest shit. If he comes, cool. If not, I'm sure Herman is working on grad transfers or they have other kids pegged that we don't know about. I hope he ends up at UT, but if not, I won't lose sleep over it.

The day I follow any non-related teenager on social media is the day I should have all adult privileges revoked. That grown men  follow athletes on Twitter makes me SMDH.

People who report on recruiting for a living get a pass. 

If I had any rep to give I would like this........sadly, I am in the red 😢

How are you still posting?  Weren't you banned like a month ago?

This is a lingering question I've had. Are they just not allowed to start a thread or something?? How much in the red do they need to be to have posting privileges removed?

I mean, under his name it even says "banned"?  Surely being "banned" doesn't mean you can still post?

My thought exactly, but I've seen it happen a few times. Granted, I think most of the instances were with this guy.

Didn't he leave for the NFL because he failed out of school? I agree he wasn't a troublemaker though.
I don't remember him being so wishy-washy, just completely turned on UT after not qualifying. I would compare Javonne more to someone like Jordan Elliott, but to a lesser extent (Javonne doesn't have multiple decommitments).
