This is interesting to me. He originally was going to UT, then switched to Louisville, now the Louisville coach is going to Texas, but he's not coming? If he was good enough for UT, but then switched to UL and liked the coach, wonder why he isn't going to UT now?

Not arguing, just curious.

I imagine UT was full about a year ago.

Like I said earlier, lock it down. Losing this guy to UTSA is unacceptable. Make it happen.

Hell, we might even be able to move Line, P. to LB if our RB 3-deep is Shead, Nlemchi, and Gresham

I think Line, P. stays at RB. There are times when you have to pass and you need a good pass blocker, especially with our OL. He is the best blocking RB we have. You can use others when you have run or pass options but we need to try and keep the QB upright when in passing situations.

If you'll remember Saturday SAPony(?) or the fan close to the UTSA program mentioned an unnamed high profile RB who was visiting UTSA and had offers from all the bigs. Put 2 + 2 together and stated that he must be talking about Daniel Gresham and that June ought to give him a call once he got back from his world tour.
OBVIOUSLY, Gresham read my post-because we know "recruits all read these boards" and made the call himself
I would have made the call before June knew who this guy was. SA Pony will receive a "Finder's Fee". Thank god all recruits read Ponyfans


I'll take beer during and after basketball game to celebrate hopefully a win over Memphis as the "finders fee." Will be coming up again to Moody to see a victory

Wow. That's just pathetic. Hope they don't teach the "Let's not try because we don't have a chance" mentality to our players.

Hopefully they were just trying to flatter the guy. Jeez...


Probably not flattering the guy because I had a football coach tell me the same thing about another player. And Ponyscott had another coach say the same thing to him.

Innocent until proven guilty, right... But yeah, kind of hard to give them the benefit of the doubt when you keep reading stories like this. There's the potential that we might see a few surprises on signing day, but we can't rely on gift horses like this potential windfall and Gilbert to keep falling into our laps.

Shead may be healthy, but I guess the Morning News missed the little fact that Shead wasn't enrolled at SMU this year. Oops!
