Wow. Major bullet...no, atomic bomb...dodged with this kid.

18 years seems a bit steep, no? I know nothing about the law.

Aggravated robbery is a dreaded “3g” offense meaning he’ll only be eligible for parole after he’s served nine years. Real years. No credit for working or trying to act right

Surprise Surprise....just like Chris Parr back in the day. Bellmead is an absolute shit hole 

Expand  

Im trying to remember someone who got out of there.  Mario Kinsey but i think he ended up in trouble at Kansas

Maybe Glenn Jones but that was 20 plus years ago so im a little foggy

Itll be interesting to see in Brandon Benson can hang in there.  Also the TE went to Bama

Looks like Roschon still has some problems with his base and transferring his weight from his back foot to his front every time he throws. His feet were a little too close to each other there and he had times where his throws were all arm because he's not transferring his weight.  He tends to throw better on the run because he naturally shifts his weight forward on the run, but you don't always see him do it in the pocket.  He improved on this from his sophomore year film to his junior, but it looks like he still has a little ways to go.  Thankfully, he'll get time in the program to work on that before he has to see the field.  If he can get his mechanics all cleaned up, he'll be a special player.

Elbow/arm slot are a little low as well.   Fixing those things takes an average arm and makes it a decent arm.

Per TFB

One of Texas’ Top #LB Targets is Wekiva (FL) #OLB Rian Davis Davis is from Florida and is playing his senior year there.

Davis actually played his first three years of HS football in the Houston area, and he’s very open to returning for college.

Davis took his first official visit to Louisville last week, and has set his Texas official visit.

He will be in Austin June 15th-17th.

He is also very high on Georgia. Davis originally planned to commit this summer, but that likely won’t happen now, as he wants to get some other official visits in before he makes the final decision.

Rian Davis is a certified badass at LB. We really need to try and make that happen.

How many moms do you have?

Too easy, like your mom. Enough of mom talk, though. Rain Davis has been fantastic at camps. If I had my choice I would forget Gbenda and bring in Davis, Tongue and McCoy and let the latter 2 start out at whatever position they want. And it wouldn’t surprise me if Davis outgrew linebacker and became a B Backer.

Oh if you had your choice? If you had your choice would you also “let” bru mccoy come to Texas? Youd take the superior prospect over the inferior one? Bold move, Cotton. 

 

Its not like Davis is getting the heisman from the staff. We want him desperately and hes well above gbenda on their board.

It seems to me that Gbenda was one of our top targets. And I’m not a fan. He has been productive and has great instincts but he is small and not a great athlete. I was a little disappointed when it seemed he was close to committing. For me he is a late take if we wiff on our top choices. Look at the JUCO and the athletic two position guys and Davis as a LB/B Backer.

Lulz. So beyond what Sydney Carton already pointed out, you would forego a Rover/Mack prospect so you could take a B-backer, in this hypothetical world where we can just get Bru McCoy out of thin air but we’re not allowed to take 4 LB commits?

That’s what I’m saying. And I don’t think he is a long shot. 

Expand  

All that’s fine and I don’t think you’d get much debate from anyone that he’s a better prospect than Gbenda but why are they being put forth by you as an either/or proposition when they probably won’t even play the same position?

Rolled my eyes as I read it. Horns247 posters won't care, that forum is chock full of sunshine-pumpers who won't brook any criticism of Giles' recruiting.

I can't remember but it seems like he wanted to come here or his dad wanted him to come here,  or the other way around?  

Wonder if things would have been different if he did come to Austin?

Expand  

IIRC.... He initially wanted OU and his dad wanted UT... So they compromised and settled on Baylor. He got his release after Briles got canned. Was supposed to visit campus, but stood up the coaching staff after partying it up in Austin the night before. I might be wrong on a couple of the details, so someone with a better memory is welcome to correct me, but I think that's the gist of it.

His dad actually drove him back after he hungover-ly fucked up his UT trip but it was too late. Iirc there was a guy from Waco who played for Baylor or OU that he badly wanted Parrish to get away from and didn't succeed.
