Wood at work for the Horns. It doesn't take long for certain types of story lines with delicious appeal to spread. Remember a month ago? The '09 class just signed? No offers were out to anyone for 2010? One of the stories then was about the close-knit nature of the recruiting class, grown from Garre...

Wilson Close to Decision ($) Reggie Wilson, Haltom's stud defensive end and native of the Ivory Coast, will announce his decision in a formal announcement at his school within the next month, likely after his school's spring break, according to his high school coach. The final three under consi...

A. White Set To Announce ($) DeSoto cornerback Adrian White will end his recruitment on Friday afternoon at 4 on Austin's ESPN 1530-AM, according to his father. The schools remaining on his list are Texas, Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, and Florida. White is training hard in the offseason on his sp...

If Darius Terrell does actually end up at tight end, as expected, perhaps the biggest reach on the offensive side of the ball is Naaman Forest receiver John Harris. A player with great size for the position, at 6-3, Harris doesn't pass the important, but overrated, speed test -- he runs a 4.67 40, c...

Stepping into the film room ($) -- Chris Jones. Despite his size, the word on Jones from his coach was that he coaches the ball well in traffic. From his film, he certainly does, but someone his size doesn't project as an outside deep threat in college and the Longhorns won't ask him to do that. Wha...

Anecdotal and statistical evidence suggest that Clint Chapman has far underperformed his four-star rating out of high school. In fact, to say that the most successful stretch in a nearly two-year career came when scoring 7,4, and 6 points hints at something failing even to achieve mediocrity -- hard...

Order of need for current outstanding offers. Jackson Jeffcoat - Perhaps the best player in the state, Jeffcoat would secure the future of the defensive end position for years and provide a replacement for Eddie Jones and Sam Acho. Reggie Wilson - See above. What makes Wilson so special is that he h...

  It was an insanely wild weekend at the second Texas Junior Day, with the Longhorns picking up commitments from seven recruits, far above the number of 3-4 I expected to commit and putting the Longhorns at 19 commitments already. Even at the high range, I would not have guessed more than five....

Injuries limit spring participation As noted over in the FanPosts, safety Ishie Oduegwu decided to give up football due to his myriad injuries. In more concerning news, defensive tackle Jarvis Humphrey will miss the spring because of a recently identified kidney condition. Humphrey's absence se...

Slipping through the cracks. As I did more research around the interwebs, I realized that my list of February 28th Junior Day attendees was not complete. Here are those other attendees: Intriguing Ashton Dorsey (defensive tackle) - The younger brother of Adren Dorsey ($), currently a member of the T...
