    He wouldn't be my top choice, and he isn't for the staff, but I wouldn't feel awful about him being a backup plan.

    The Katy RB thing is overplayed to me. Projecting players in different systems and at different levels of competition is what scouts and coaches get paid to do, they should be able to take into account the Katy system and still evaluate the RBs at Katy as individuals.

    I agree with that. I mean, it's not like Rodney Anderson was some 5 star can't miss. Choklahoma just did a good job of evaluating and used their line to open up lanes for him. We can do the same with improved line play. I personally don't want Glass, but if the staff does, so be it.

    I don't see Glass being anywhere as good as Anderson, but he's much better than Porter imo. There's an old post on the shag of me telling people Porter wasn't even the best RB on his own HS team, back when he was a senior at Katy and Glass was a Freshman. It was obvious back then, Porter got the carries because he was the upperclassman.

     

    I remember when people were talking about Glass possibly being a 5 star when he was a frosh on the shag. I have no doubt he's a good RB, but is he good enough for Texas? Admittedly I haven't seen him play, but I just know the Katy RB system has failed most of the time. I know he's gotten a ton of carries, but how good is he? Would he be a take?

    Works for me. I'm getting a little tired of 4 yards and a cloud of dust. We need backs that can house it on every carry. 

    The kid at Rider is named Tre Byrd and he's a sophomore. He also plays for team usa. He's good. But Foster is a freak. If TCU wants him, you know he can ball. What a steal for them. God I hope Herman takes a look at him

    I've seen him play many times, and he's well worth a scholly. Good lord he's on another level. We haven't had a kid from this area like that in a looooooooong time. We have a kid at WF Rider who's supposed to be the next big thing, too. He's a junior. I can't remember his name, but he's the 10th best RB in state for next year.

    Two rb guys that I remember but not by name,  guy in panhandle (tascosa?) and Wichita falls. Anything to see there?

    Daimarqua Foster is committed to TCU. He's a stud and I hope Herman goes after him. He's legit. He plays for Hirschi

    Porter is allegedly not playing so he can redshirt and transfer. He gone. 

    I had such high hopes for Carter. It's a shame, but he needs to tranfer. 

    That makes sense on Porter. Like you, I had high hopes for Carter, too. God damn his shitty attitude and fumbles. He's a really good back, but damn. Maybe Tom and Drayton can work with him and convince him to stay (doubtful, I know). At least it opens up room for recruits to see playing time. What's up with Danny Young? Hadn't seen much of him lately. Another transfer casualty?

  7. If we keep winning it won't matter. Lsu will get fucked by Bama, and Michigan will get a bukkake from Ohio State. ND looks up and down, and I can see a loss to USC. Hell, they barely escaped Pitt while healthy. At least we have an excuse that our starter went down and we still won. We control our own destiny.
