It was in the early 80's that his uncle Eric Dickerson (also from Sealy)did almost the exact same thing to UT and went to SMU. He teamed there with would-be senator Craig James to form the "pony express" . They were there (or had shortly left before) when all the payola stuff came out, Bobby Collins got fired, and SMU got the death penalty for its football program from the NCAA. At the time nobody understood the sudden change of heart Eric had, but it became apparent as the years went by.
It is very likely something happened in Austin on Sunday that changed his opinion; it may have already been smoldering for days.
UT has been very fortunate to recruit as well as they have, considering how absolutely awful the offense has been since Colt was hurt in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena a few years ago--I mean its been the worst I have ever seen at UT. If its the same this coming year, the seams are going to split at DKR Stadium and explode like a volcano--recruiting will collapse.
Finally, a receiver wants to play on a team that can "get him the ball". If he has watched much film, UT is not that team recently. He also wants to play roundball, too, which is a pipedream unless he doesn't go to class at all. There are schools, mentioned in his mothers' list, that will accommodate that wish instantly. Although he is a tremendous talent, this may be a blessing in the long run. I think he's long gone.

Definitely puzzling...lots of things that are in my head, and half of them I just need to keep to myself.

GH says - "Just to be clear, 247Sports believes Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, and a number of others are being considered.

The list provided by a family member is Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Kansas, Kentucky, SMU, Baylor and California."

You tell me which of these schools is going to throw the ball and get it into the kids hands on a frequent basis?

I'll hang-up and listen.

Eric Dickerson was never committed to UT. He decomitted from A&M after an Aggie alum bought him a new Trans Am and made the colossal mistake of giving him the car title before Signing Day. Dickerson drove the Trans Am straight to Highland Park.

I agree with the changes we've seen made to this program, I like the renewed dedication to getting a top notch physical trainer for S&C. I like the move to a more traditional offense, the hiring of new young coaches, and the willingness to go out of state and the JUCO route when necessary. That said, I support the "you're in or out" policy we've taken in the past. The kid has been here, he's seen what we're building, he's met his teammates, and seen the facilities. Nobody is bigger than this program and if you don't want to be a part of it, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. We'll find someone to play at the wide-out position, I have no doubt.

Would be nice to have a really good season. Winning cures all.
