No.

 

[Gylcomer]

Any news of the unprefered walkons?

 

[Pomspoms]

No.

well, my heart is crushed. I don't think I can move on.

 

[leeman82]

No.

So does this mean the staff moved on from Alex Foster or he decided to look elsewhere?

I have no firsthand knowledge, but 247 still shows him as a hard bailer commit. Crystal ball prediction has him as a 50/50 with us and the piggies.
His lead recruiter was Bo Davis so that prolly doesn’t help our cause.
Hope that helps.

Don’t have to sign next week anyway. If there is space, he has until June to sign.

Yes. The staff moved on before coach Davis left.
Slight chance they may revist it. But not at all likely.

Very well.

 

[Pomspoms]

Very well.

please slow down with this overwhelming amount of information. We only have so much time to read in our busy lives.

(actually, I know you are very busy and I appreciate your many posts. Some posts have to be short and to the point)

I gotta say, this year's NSD was the most anticlimactic since I 1st started following it. Combine the transfer portal, early (December) Signing Day & this staff's ability to identify, recruit & sign talent has pretty much taken the excitement out of early February. Not that I mind; I really like the classes Sark et. al. are bringing in. I'm even more stoked at the individual development of players. The knock on our program (and rightfully so IMHO) was that we recruited talented kids coming in but produced very few NFL players going out. This year we are looking at 5-6 1st or 2nd round draftees & 10-12 total. Compare that to 0 just a couple of years ago. Yea, National Signing Day has become rather mundane, but I'll take it & be happy.

So what recruiting ranking did we finally end up with after the two signing days?

Texas Football: Colin Simmons making an immediate impression

I looked at rivals. Note this is rank of HS recruits (22). If you add the 8 transfers, Texas is definitely top 3 with OSU and Georgia.

This! We get top 10 ranked classes practically every year. I recall hearing on several occasions on the radio that the NFL considered Texas as one of the best value for the talent schools in the country. We had so much undeveloped talent they would draft Texas players low or sign them as undrafted free agents knowing they had huge upside. That's not the case anymore. Players are getting better the last 3 years which is why we now have first round talent.

How is this possible? Bru McCoy back at Texas?
And why did he switch from WR to DB? Something stinks here.

DB McCoy Bruce commits to Texas as a preferred walk on

And how the hell did he change the color of; aaaah, errr; his stripes?

 

[caryhorn]

Bru McCoy is not McCoy Bruce

 

[mchammer]

Bru McCoy is not McCoy Bruce

Haha, good one.

 

[WorsterMan]

McCoy walk-on ??? Hmm, on the surface, he appears to be a troubled and struggling young man.

Best wishes to him.

Either someone's sarcasm meter needs recalibration or mine does.
