**Think Texas is doing ok in recruiting? Wow, their 2007 class is just scary good.

Congrats to all for great HS Careers

Terrence Tolliver to me is to small for his size...really skinny, he'll get killed on the field in the next level...

[c-town_balla]

I don't think having a high ceiling like Toliver justifies a high rivals rating and all. I have seen him in person and our coner who has benn 2nd team all-district at his best shut him down with the exeption of one long pass. I'm not sayin he isn't good im just saying he hasen't put up the number to justify a top-rating.

thats why he needs to come to Texas and train under Mad Dog Madden for a couple of years.

someone agrees..lol...yea when we played him my Fish year he didn't impress me all that much...

[buff4life]

14 out of the first 20 recruits have either committed to texas or are considering texas...we'll be doin alright..


Terrance Tolliver is considered all potential not talent ..so who knows

[c-town_balla]

yeah I know all the experts out there like his size and his athletic abillity and last year I saw him on film do some amazing things. But, 500 yards last year and 843 this year isn't something you would think a top-tier WR in a spread offence vs. 2a teams would have.

Recruiting is all about projection & upside for a 17-18 yr. old kid. Some pan out, some don't. Tolliver is very talented & they are projecting what he can become.

No doubt Texas is doing well. A&M needs to close on the few remaining targets to finish with a good class.

Yes, Madden came with Mack from UNC. He serves as the S&C coach for football & Mack's bodyguard. Huge man, but I wish he could find a bigger shirt that fits. The man boobs need to be hidden.

FYI: Madden used to work for Mack's brother Watson Brown at Rice.
