I know, I know, always with the jokes about KK's social life, but he's got a girlfriend that might that just might make the west coast his personal preference.

Alright, Kliff.

Like a fucking boss.

I've always thought Houston was the least committed of the OOS guys.

Arjei Henderson fucked us over one last time

[Chrispy 132]

When Wells mentioned that Meekins drew the short straw and had to go visit Houston, I took that to mean he was getting squeezed. 

[closetojumping 65463]

Losing Houston sucks. I assume Anderson and Ellis will get one more look, but I'm guessing they punt at WR outside of the open offers to McCoy and Higgins. I wouldn't mind the Kennedy take personally, but I know there's no real consensus on him from folks following this.

[Machinator 32103]

I think OU wants Houston, and I don't think we wanted to lose him.

I know a lot of recruitniks are privately glad about this, and I don't agree at all.

We're on the same page here. We need fucking speed and this guy brings it.

That, and if both Lincoln Riley and Mike Gundy want him, he's probably good.

And now we have a decommit.  I know who I blame for this.

[Hiphopopotamos 21192]

This is our first decommit, no?

It is. 

[RabidM 2758]

I like Anderson.

[Levi 2670]

I still like our WR’s and with each passing day with kk not at usc it help our chances(maybe?) with bru. 

But that Houston had speed which we needed. This one sucks

KB?

[UncleBuck 6455]

A few good options to replace, but not ideal.

I like Lewis, but I'd just as soon save the scholarship for next year if we don't land Bru or Higgins.

Or maybe take someone like Henderson or even Coker as additional Shepherd insurance. Or Steven Parker.

I would take Cunningham and Williams

[Elmer_Fudd 23023]

Looking at the Sooner boards looks like they may have just done an in-home visit with Houston, so probably not a coincidence this happened.

[Machinator 32103]

 

[LTtxfan 50012]

Wonder if any issues for Houston qualifying at Texas?? ... Hate that BlowU probably the benefactor of this decommit and that he's a blazer......

Would help if LJH and/or CJ are returning for 2019 Horns FB Season

--------------------------------------------------------------

Last Week's IT write-up mentions this:

I caught up with a source on Texas wide receiver commit Demariyon Houston. He says OU hasn't been in contact with Houston and that Houston still plans on signing in February. In February? "That's always been his plan." We'll see if the staff asks him to sign early or not. (9.95 failure)

There is some 'save the ship' potential to finish this cycle to the benefit of the next one.

Herman mentioned what we've been saying for a while now; a Big 12 Championship doesn't do much for 2019 but helps a lot with the class of 2020. Go get that win, fellas.

Does Tech have any speedsters committed that we could poach?

I don't know if I have a top 5 favorite recruit list from this signing class yet, but Adimora is up there.

I really liked Houston.  He was my favorite receiver take to date outside of Jake Smith. These are the Jaelon Raegors and Hollywood. Browns of the world that haunt us for years. If we dont get Bru, this WR class will have a big hole in it.

[TexasGolf 5466]

Does this mean LJH and CJ are coming back ?

Bru and Houston are completely different players...

Really hope the staff can convince him to sign early on his OV.  This has the makings of the Ogre sweeping in with a last minute offer.

Do any people in the know here have any idea what draft grade they’re looking for to come out?  I can’t imagine either is above a 3rd rounder this year.  

[Vertigo 20500]

Yes, but Bru’s overall talent is rare, and I can overlook losing top flight speed for a total package guy.

[Machinator 32103]

There's always the chance Peyton Powell sticks at WR.

She also said the decision is up to him and she’ll support whatever he decides.

it started out funny but yeah I agree, too many dudes piled on and the whole thing just got worn out.  

[UTDD 362]

As much as it stings, I'd rather have taken the recruit we got from OU than lose the one we likely lose to them right now. 

[UDontKnow 10572]

Different kind of WR. Houston was the speed guy, Lewis is a bigger dude.

We'll have enough speed in Jake Smith and Marcus Washington. Damn the decommitment sucks, but by no means is it lethal.

[SLChorn 58]

This Houston thing is very strange to me.

On a separate note, since we are talking about other WRs, I've personally always liked this kid:

I am not sure how sickles are manufactured where you come from. But that looks more like an Islamic star within a crescent moon.

Willing to be part of a collective effort or sacrifice everything for the team, either way we're good.

[thepop 4418]

I wonder if this is why Tom said "21" commits last week.

The star-inside-a-crescent motif long predates Islam. Or Christianity, for that matter.
