Amazes me on how top guys Brown and Paris are LSU bound. Would be insane if LSU gets both Brown and Paris. I know Paris has LSU ties but still losing those two is going to sting. I think Paris is capable of being a Day 1 starter. The Big 12 IMO is the conference that DB's showcase their talent in and I still can't understand why going to the SEC is favorable for these guys.
I love Jamal Adams though, kid would be an awesome Free Safety. I am not getting my hopes up for Adams, Brown, and Paris though. I hope we can get at least one. Would kill for two of the three

Mods, why hasn't Texas given any attention to Rockwell?

Good stuff, Gerry. Bonney's comment was somewhat striking to me.

Perroni said he's a lot like Freeman. A lot of people think he'll end up a linebacker.

Do we think that the coaches of the Elite 7-on-7 team that these guys play for will have some influece in these kids' college decisions?
Any word on why Neal didn't show up last week, and if he's expected on Feb 23rd?

I say we throw out offers to 20 or more DB's and 150 or more total for the 2014 class and see what sticks. If bama, aggy, lsu can do it, we can too.

As it was to me. Bonney seems to understand the way the business works. Teams can only put so many DBs on the field at one time so players need to look at their chances of possible playing time. However, if this group is indeed as deep as it is then each of those players will see considerable time on the field. Just a matter of when…
