Mack Brown is one of the best recruiters in my opinion. The class he just signed (seniors in high school) was recognized as the second best in the county. The best class was deemed Florida's class of recruits. That is amazing to me that a kid is willing to take a gamble at Florida given all of the uncertainty there with the coach having health issues.
UT got some very impressive players for the fall. Colt's younger brother is going to be on the team as is Jordan Shipley's brother. I hope they have the same chemistry that their older brothers had. The also got a great player from Plano that was heavily recruited. His name is Jackson Jeffcoat and he is a defensive end. DeMarco Cobbs is considered by the experts to make an impact in the fall. He plays defensive back.
I am already looking forward to the fall. As I told someone the other day, I am always hopeful when a new season comes around.
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your column in "The Sun" - Sports, on Wednesday 2/17/10, on the "Big Shootout." That is my all-time favorite Longhorn football game as well. I said at the time, that I would not live long enough to ever see a better Texas Longhorn football team. I know Vince had a good national championship team as well, but the '69 team had no stars. They played as a team. So my comment still stands.
