Yep. Sucks winning all those Big 12 titles and multiple playoff runs while we fought for bowl births. Maybe we should think about them more and less about aggy.

Mack might have him a decent QB at UNC

Howell looks good. Mack will be happy.

I agree. Mack found his Colt within weeks of taking over in Chapel Hill. Maybe he paid the kid, but got a hometown deal due to FSU’s coach leaving and being a NC kid. (Or maybe he just put the word out to boosters that the team really needed to get Howell and let them take it from there.)

If Howell pulls that sideline stop, let the defender fly by him out of bounds, and then start again and make it into the end zone in college... against a team at least as good as a Fresno State, he could very well win himself a Heisman.

You'd think people with so much of a better history would be proud of THAT instead of obsessing over someone "under" them. But, I guess that's why every time you see Texas players, fans, and alums, we're always giving an aggy thumbs down to cameras. Especially when playing someone else.

Their focus is where it should be, beating the one team which has been a constant threat. They do it because they know it bothers us. They are in our heads, obviously.

If Texas can’t win a championship in the next few years, it is not going to be because we failed to sign talent to catch passes this year. Sometimes we need 3, pursue 6, land 2 consolation prizes, and sweat it out. We landed Who is probably 5* material in Washington, the GPotY in Smith, and record-breaker Whittington in addition to what is basically a bonus year of CJ. All this before we even know if we get an ‘extra’ year of LJ. We hit a grand slam HR on WR recruiting. Winning is nice, and we would have found a way to use McCoy, but the fascination with a guy who was not coming here and who does not play at a position of real need is crazy. I could see if he were a world-beater JuCo LT with 3 years to play 3. I have to agree with the sentiment that we should focus on who we got, not the ones we didn’t.

This would not have been written if we had landed him. We need to wish the guy good luck, take the L and move on. It is not debatable that a player like Bru raises the chance of winning a championship especially when our biggest rival signed 2 5*s. No need to come up with weak sauce rationalizations.

You clearly don’t have teenage children. Knowing what they are going to do tomorrow is impossible. Knowing who they are leaning towards signing with 12 months after the start of their recruitment is inconceivable. I trust Herman and his staff are applying their time efficiently. Not even Bama gets 100% of their targets.

I said we would use him and that getting him would be nice. My points were (1) WR seems a strange position on which to expend anguish in this cycle, knowing what we do now, and (2) dude was not coming here. Sort of like if a grad transfer QB were on the radar, a real stud; he is going to Oregon but the 995ers keep throwing our name out there, too. He would make a great addition, but isn’t exactly the missing piece to our puzzle nor one we’re getting anyway. I wanted Bru to come here and was occasionally intrigued by apparent oddities in his recruitment, but today’s announcement was about a 1 on the Malikmas scale.

[RabidM 2,664]

Long term we didn't want Bru at WR. He has high first round potential on defense.

E.J. Holland: Takeaways from watching UT signees in All-American Bowl

— Four-star Texas wide receiver signee Jordan Whittington caught a couple of passes in his team’s loss at the All-American Bowl. Whittington didn’t have a ton of opportunities to make plays, but he did have a great catch by the sideline for a first down, where he lost the defender and ran a smooth route. Whittington flashed all week long with his explosiveness and versatility. He looked more like a natural pass catcher and could see early playing time in Austin.

— Four-star Texas linebacker De’Gabriel Floyd signee made a handful of tackles during the game. Floyd came downhill in a hurry and plugged gaps well. He also made a bone crushing hit in the first half that drew some attention. While his team lost in blowout fashion, it was easy to see why he is so highly regarded. He has the speed and tenacity to blossom in the Big 12.

— Four-star Texas safety signee Tyler Owens was one of the most impressive prospects on the hoof all week. Owens is still raw from a technique standpoint, but he did make a couple of plays in coverage and displayed his length and crazy speed for his size. Owens really worked on being more physical as a senior, and it showed as he made a couple of physical tackles in the contest.

Greg Biggins: Top 10 Performers from Under Armour All-American Game

The Under Armour All-American Game was a great opportunity to see some of the nation’s best go at it on the national stage. Following a week of practice as well as last night’s game, here’s our look at the 10 best overall performers of the week. First off, it’s a must to understand, this is a list of who we thought looked the best during the game and the week of practice, this is not a list of who we feel are the best prospects. This list is based solely on performance and has nothing to do with a players rating or how he projects in college.

In compiling this list, we valued a players overall body of work. So if a player had a great week of practice but maybe didn’t have a lot of opportunities in the game, he could still make the list. Also just because a player may have had a great game, if he didn’t perform well during the week of practice, he likely would not have made the cut here. So without further adieu, here’s our look at the top 10 performers from the event.

Alpha Dog- Humble (Texas) Atascocita offensive lineman Kenyon Green

Kenyon Green was tremendous all week and was dominant in the UA game. We really can’t say enough about him, he can run block and pass protect equally well, is a plus athlete, very strong, plays with a mean streak and always competes at a high level. He was very good at The Opening Finals over the summer and showed once again he can shine on a national stage. Texas A&M is getting a player we think could come in and compete for playing time early in his career.

2. WR, Theo Wease, Allen (Texas)

Theo Wease was the most consistent receiver all week and then had a very strong game. The only times we saw any defensive back able to cover him was when he was hobbled and limping around a bit. Otherwise, he was the best route runner in the camp and probably got more separation than any other receiver. The Oklahoma signee had one touchdown reception in the game and should have had another on a play the referees incorrectly rules him out of bounds. He should catch a ton of balls for the Sooners in the next few years.

3. OL, Evan Neal, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy

Evan Neal was beat for a sack in the game but was otherwise very good and had a great week of practice. He’s just so hard to get around because of of size and how well he can move. Neal worked out at both guard and tackle but we think he’s a natural tackle at the next level and could end up on either side depending on the need and where his body is at in a few years. As good as he is now, he can still lean out some and improve his overall athleticism, which would make the Alabama signee even scarier.

4. DL, Kayvon Thibodeux, Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian

Kayvon Thibodeaux was our top player the first workout of the week. He was just solid the next two days and actually struggled a bit on the final day of practice but was very good in the game and flashed his enormous talent. His seven tackles were 3rd most in the game and he had multiple hurries as well. When his motor is going, there aren't many players who can impact a game quite like Thibodeuax and the Oregon signee should compete for the starting job the second he arrives on campus.

5. WR, George Pickens, Hoover (Ala.)

We talked to a few of the defensive backs following the game and several said George Pickens was the toughest cover for them during the week. He had four catches for 55 yards in the game, which followed up a very good week of practice as well. He’s a big, physical receiver with a strong body and uses his size and strength to create separation. He’s not a burner but runs well enough and can make plays down the field. Pickens is an Auburn commit but will sign in February.

6. QB, Jayden Daniels, San Bernardino (Calif.)

Jayden Daniels was our No. 2 quarterback all week during practice and looked very good and really shined during the game. He was clearly the top signal caller Thursday night and showed off why he’s the nation’s top dual-threat quarterback. He finished 9-13 for 101 yards and two touchdowns and added 21 yards on the ground. Daniels can stress a defense in so many ways, never looks rattled and has the touch and accuracy to make every throw on the field. He’ll enroll at Arizona State on Monday.

7. RB, Jerrion Ealy, Flowood (Miss.) Jackson Prep

We said during the week it was tough for the running backs to really show what they could do in this setting. During practice, the running backs and linebackers rarely went live and were only in full pads once. Still Jerrion Ealy flashed a few times and then had a great showing Thursday night. He had a game high 119 yards, which was a new record and scored two touchdowns as well. We really like the way the Ole Miss signee runs the football. He’s decisive, quick and strong and is a great looking prospect.

8. DB, Kenyatta Watson, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson

Kenyatta Watson was outstanding all week and definitely looks like one of the more under-rated defensive backs in the country. When you look at his length, athleticism, toughness, motor and skill set, he checks off every box you could want in a next level corner. He had arguably the best performance by any defensive back this week during Tuesday’s workout and just oozes upside and potential. Watson is headed to Texas and should bolster an already strong secondary.

9. DL, Zacch Pickens, Anderson (S.C.) TL Hanna

Zacch Pickens got progressively better all week and was one of the most dominant defensive players at the event by the end of the week. We love his positional versatility and feel he can play multiple spots on the defensive line. He's a big, strong kid who can beat an opposing lineman with power or quickness. He was very tough to contain in the game Thursday night and finished up with three tackles, a sack and a hurry. He was a huge pickup for South Carolina and he should definitely be able to compete for playing time as soon as this coming fall.

10. WR, Marcus Washington, St. Louis (Mo.) Trinity Catholic

Marcus Washington was one of the MVPs of the game Thursday night after catching seven passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Washington had a good week of practice as well showing some of the strongest hands in the event. At 6-2, 195 pounds, Washington is a physical receiver who can bully smaller corners. He has excellent body control, catches the ball well through contact and has a natural feel for how to get open and get separation. The Texas signee should make a lot of plays for the Longhorn program in the coming years.

Honorable Mention: Others who just missed the cut

*Jameson Williams, WR, Saint Louis (Mo.) Cardinal Ritter Prep- Williams has elite level speed and is a true home run threat from anywhere on the field.

*Devontae Dobbs, OL, Belleville (Mich.)- Versatile lineman who can overwhelm opposing DLs at the point of attack.

*Mykael Wright, DB, Antelope Valley (Calif.)- Has all the tools to be a true shutdown corner at the next level.

*Lewis Cine, DB, Cedar Hill (Texas) Trinity Christian- Rangy safety who is strong in coverage and always around the ball.

*Jordan Battle, DB, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas- Versatile safety who can run, hit and cover.

* Julian Barnett, DB, Belleville (Mich.)- Barnett was one of the top 3-4 defensive backs every day in practice and showed lockdown cover skills.

*Bo Nix, QB, Pinson Valley (Ala.)- Top quarterback in practice each day, poised, polished and mature beyond his years.

*Zeke Correll, OL, Cincinnati (Ohio) Anderson- Versatile interior lineman who could excel at guard or center.

*Jowon Briggs, DL, Cincinnati (Ohio) Walnut Hills- Physical tackle with a great first step.

We had some highly public losses at the end of this cycle.  Those losses add up and create perception problems.  What I'm saying is that Herman and his team did NOT apply their time efficiently in those situations.  You have to make sure you are winning at a clip higher than 50.1% in those situations and we weren't doing that at the end of this cycle.  You are working with 25 ships a year.  It's not like you cant manage those #'s.

You are just wrong. Every school has early and late decommits. Especially when you are competing for the very best like UT. Nobody even remembers who decommited the last few years. Wins, bowl games and championships are 1,000 Times more influential on the perception of the school. I would like to understand the math behind how you arrived at 50.1%. Thank you. 

[Irieguy 1,059]

For example, QB Malik Hornsby class of 2020 is regarded by some as the closest thing to VY in years. If Herman thinks it’s a 40% chance he commits and stays with UT, should we not pursue him aggressively?

Well, now that these exhibition games are done, I hope our coaches snap out of it and start focusing on just recruiting the "next VY" level unicorns who are guaranteed to sign with us. That should free up some of Mensa's time for working on the 10-yard-minimum offense, deciding whether or not to wear a goatee and ordering new capes in exactly the right color of orange.

Sigh. The name of the recruit isn’t important. Change it to Zach Evans.
