    Dronett had, uh, a “different” connection to Sam Adams. If you know it you know it.

    Shane Rink was the HS teammate of Sam Adams.

    Tommy Jeter was another guy from Deer Park a few years earlier than the Brian White era, was a good DT for us and played a few years in the NFL.

    Dronett's "connection" to Sam Adams played a pretty large role in Adams not coming to Texas

    Re: Moore, I can't help but think the way our WRs showed up at the Combine has gotta help bring him to Austin.

     That certainly can't hurt but LSU is about to have 1 WR probably go in the 1st 5-7 picks of the 1st round and a 2nd go probably around 16-20. Our 2 guys will go pretty high as well but their guys will go higher.

  3.  I worked at Oshman's Sporting Goods in the DFW area when the Texas 7 events went down. Got a call from the regional manager Christmas night asking me to go to the Irving location on the 26th. I had not turned on the TV all day so had no idea what had happened. Regional guy just told me to turn on the news and that I was part of a group to be there in the morning to "clean up what they would let us".

    When I pulled into the parking lot on the morning of the 26th there was obviously a heavy local, state and Federal police presence. I parked my truck right by the front entrance to the store so on every TV "update" when they ran B-roll of the store front while the talking heads gave no updates of any substance there was my truck. There was a real life chalk outline in the freight receiving area where the officer was killed.

    Still amazed that they just let the Oshman's group walk right in to an active crime scene less than 48 hours after the capital murder of a police officer. The only real "off limits" areas for us were the business office where the safe was and the gun counter.

    So would this indicate that aggy has their man, and the new guy will retain Robinson? Because it’s not a wise move for the program to decide to retain anyone on Jimbo’s staff before clearing it with the new head coach.

    Or he could just be doing his job on the recruiting trail regardless of where he ends up.

    Unfortunately for the prospect in some cases, nothing says the new head guy has to honor either the offer or even a commitment once they are hired. Unless aggie is stupid enough to wait until after the 1st signing day to make the hire I guess.

  5. Brian Brazil passed away this morning. He was the head coach at Hebron from 1999 when the school opened through the 2021 season. He had retired from coaching to be the AD at Prestonwood Christian. He was also the president of the TXHSFB coaches association from 2011-12.

    Besides all that he was a really good man. Hebron is planning to name their stadium after him this fall.
