Horns247 Board

I think they are having issues this year. But I also think they are positioning themselves well for next year. Loved their OL class last year.

But they just don't have the depth or front-line guys across the board like Texas. They just don't. And it comes back to recruiting.

Okay, okay, echeese262 is going to chase me down on this, but this kid is a sleeper from my school. Compton ran a 4.94 at 306-pounds at Texas A&M camp in July. He is being recruited as a center only, and he has the smarts and quickness to get it done.

In talking with Friendswood head coach Steve Van Meter yesterday, he said the kid is 180 degrees different this year. He is playing at a high level.

Coach Van Meter and the Mustangs also scrimmaged Houston Lamar last weekend.He mentioned sophomore corner Cedric Lancaster as very impressive.

Is there any other video other than this one play?

I agree the Ags are having a tough year in recruiting. They are not addressing their glaring needs at DT, LB, DE.

And to a lessor extent, QB, as after Jerrod leaves, that leaves? Tannehill to start next year? Then who? Joekel?

247 is on a roll. good to see you back in the game. did you ever move back to texas?

Thanks! I'm still in suburban Nashville, which is company HQ. I still get back all the time. Headed to Austin next week.

In relation to the Aggy recruits and related comments, I do not worry too much whether their recruits are good,bad or ugly...but most on these boards continue to offer the latter two as primary recruiting traits.

What worries me...and always worries me is that they could recruit, sign and start the slowest LB and DB's in the Div 1since my great grandfather, Moishe Bergenbloomstein had to trot out instead of working on his accounting homework. In other words, they ALWAYS have some guy, who otherwise completely sucks and has no discernible football skills to speak of, who plays the game of his life against the beloved Man de Longhorns.

A&M recruiting never keeps me awake at night, just the potential for angst in the fall...on the field.

We've somehow managed to lose a couple to them with a huge talent disparity. Hate to be THAT fan, but this just happens to be my mindset.

Until someone convinced me otherwise.

This makes logical sense to me...but I would hate to see it happen. Any insight on the truth to this rumor?

What??? Taking 2 DEs in a class isn't unreasonable...both can be on the field at the same time. Cedric loves Texas. Are people around him pushing him elsewhere?

Wow, just looked at the thread.

"As for your question on Cedric Reed, Ced really likes the fame and fortune that comes with being a Texas commit. In fact, that is one of the main reasons he committed to the Horns."

Pretty classless and unprofessional for a mod to make baseless accusations of payouts.

And half their fans are calling Reed a "puss" despite wanting him to come to their school. I hope that type of BS towards 16-18 year old kids won't be accepted here.

Classless.

Supposedly the dad and everyone else in Cleveland.
