What may have been the reasoning? Tired of the run around, pursuing targets that are guaranteed to be a Wr?

So what you are saying is that Eric Dickerson's cousin from Sealy isn't coming to Texas?
I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Perfect scenario for UT: Briles takes the Arkie job. Start recruiting Robbie Rhodes again. Get 2 of either Hunter, Rhodes or Allen. A man can dream.....

I didn't want to say it, but the list of school's that have his interest says a lot. I'm sorry if I'm off base on that opinion.

There are few things that I can think of that would cause the coaches to quit recruiting a kid. These would be either the kid thinking of taking money from a street agent or already taking money from a street agent. So the real question is.... when is he taking his first trip to Oregon or USC?

I think this was best for both parties. There are other prospects out there just as interested. Good Move by the staff

You have a kid that commits to Texas. He then breaks his commitment. He then tells people that he received death threats from Texas fans. The story gets picked up nationally. The police don't press charges because surprise they can't find any threatening emails/facebook/tweets. He then says they were drive by threats but no ids.... If anyone thought he was coming to Texas at this point I have some swamp land to sell you.
Add into this that he is a 6'4"post player at a small school and he has an AAU coach who is an aggy telling him and his dad that he can play D1 basketball. Enter aTm and Baylor who aren't shy about being aggressive in bball recruiting and voila, he's gone.

He didn't look impressive in his last game.

Before or after he cracked his patella?
Kid's a great athlete, but he's having so much shit shoveled into his ears by unscrupulous adults, who the hell knows what will happen.
He still could be a lights out rush DE, but since he's being told he is the next Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Wade combined, I wouldn't be surprised by a flame-out.

It's always been in the back of my head that this post was coming. Not surprising considering the details of his decommitment along with his new list of suitors.
The dude is talented as hell but if he keeps up the "I'm only a WR" attitude, I don't think we'll be missing out on too much.

Well, all I can say is I hope this is a sign that we're sitting really, really good with Hunter and Allen.

Great athlete; but I have been saying this for a couple of months. This kid and his entourage have reminded me of Martellus Bennett. Its a circus. In his case; I think he's being played by people around him while Bennett was driving the boat; but in the long run, its the same. Now he has what is truly a career limiting injury.

I'm not saying it's money.
But, it's money.
