Matt what can you tell us about Avery and the Johnson kid from Ennis

[Red&White_9x5]

"Sources" saying after a team meeting that was held Sunday at 5pm that they expect 8-12 kids to be gone by fall camp/next spring.

Fact of the matter is that there are some kids that probably will not like the new discipline and won't be able to adjust. I would also bet that these kids won't be missed either

[Roughneck93]

Edwin Freeman S/OLB - Arlington(Bowie), TX ****
Poona Ford DT Hilton Head Island, SC ****

Perhaps Charlie Strong does not have an appealing personality to young men.

Perhaps Charlie Strong does not have an appealing personality to young men.

Kids committing to coaches, not the school. This kind of stuff is expected for this kind of transition.



I do know if they land Poona Ford, that he is better than any of the 3 DTs they had committed.

Nelson is better than Courtney Garnett.

Also hearing they are telling the defensive recruits that no scheme has been decided yet and that will be decided based on the talent they evaluate and is a building process.

Perhaps Charlie Strong does not have an appealing personality to young men.

Please don't slur our youth that way and force them to grow up before their time. As Mack Brown hammered home to all of us Longhorns over the years, these are still just "kids."

They ain't kids, they are young men.

They ain't kids, they are young men.

I forgot the sarcasm tag. I agree. In my day, it was more clear legally that you are a man at 18 (and even younger than that, in terms of the criminal code). Now it's been pushed back to 21 for a lot of stuff.

[Saggy Aggie]

Alaka just committed to A&M

[Old Tiger]

As we thought he would.
