Big 12 still torn between Louisville, West Virginia

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 01:56:52 +0000

The Big 12 continues to vet West Virginia and Louisville as potential additions to the conference, but no invitation has been extended to either school, and the issue won’t be decided for “at least several days” because of a split within the league regarding the two schools, a high-ranking administrator at a Big 12 school told the American-Statesman on Wednesday.

Texas struggles not affecting recruiting

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:30:34 +0000

Texas caused a mild ruckus by securing a pair of commitments before its spring game on Sunday. One is defensive lineman Malcom Brown from Brenham, Texas. Brown is one of the nation’s top defensive prospects and a player plenty thought was headed to Texas A&M. That small event illuminated a bigger issue that, for now, will be tough for others across the Big 12 to swallow: Texas’ recent swoon, one that I still think will continue slightly through at least one more season, hasn’t hurt them on the recruiting trail. The Longhorns currently have 15 commitments for the 2012 class, and of those, 13 are on the ESPNU 150 Watch List. ESPN recruiting writer Mitch Sherman took a look at the issue this week . The prestige of signing with Texas is still definitely there when you hear comments from past and former recruits from Sherman’s story. Former Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing, an Austin native: “If I had a chance to play there, I would have jumped at it … You go to games, and it’s a childhood dream. Texas dominates everything.” DB Bryan Echols of DeSoto Texas, on committing to the Longhorns: “People notice it. They say, ‘Oh, you’re going to Texas. Yeah, you’re big timer.’” Receiver Cayleb Jones: “When I go into a restaurant and my little brother’s friends and their families congratulate me, that feels good.” Finally, Reesing on what life was like for Garrett Gilbert after committing to Texas (Both attended Lake Austin in Austin, Texas): “He was the king. He was the king of the school

Opportunity may come Vince Young’s way

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:11:54 +0000

Former Texas star Vince Young was the first quarterback ever to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 more. He deserved the Heisman, even though Reggie Bush won it. Now that Bush has voluntarily handed over the Heisman , he may get it. Young said on Monday he “definitely” wants the trophy , and good for him if he gets it. I’d have no problems with it, even though I’m not sure the Heisman Trust would agree. We’ve talked about the issue plenty on the blog, and now Bush’s forfeiture have made the hypothetical a reality.
