BIG TIME linebacker. Decommitted from Michigan tonight because he wants the opportunity to enroll early.

Big time hat tip to a certain poster on this board who can step forward and take credit if he so chooses, who brought up Reese yesterday to me as being someone Dino was going to go hard after to try to flip.

6-1, 235 middle linebacker

Offers from Texas, Nebraska, Florida, TCU, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisville, Pitt, among others

Was recruited by Bowling Green right? I like it.

Do you get the feeling Dino enjoys playing in his new sandbox with his expanded arsenal of tools?

You make me blush. Buckle up though. More names are going to be surfacing soon! Exciting times are ahead!

And yes - I do believe Syracuse has a shot. If he gets on campus - I like our chances.

Michigan wouldn't let him enroll early? Why?

 

[jekelish]

He's taking an official visit to Texas this weekend. We'll see what happens.

This post reminds me of an old Eminem lyric off that Biggie record
"...yeah you met me before, I just didn't have as large an arsenal of weapons before"

He must not be a fan of bricks.

This bodes well for us!

Why is Dino going after guys with no P5 offers?! Ugh.

That's gonna be tough for him to come out of without a commit. Hate to be pessimistic, but if you've been to Austin, you probably get it. Wish we had the first crack! Especially since he is enrolling in like a month.

LOL. I think he is very familiar with Austin and their Kangaroo population.

The TCU offensive coordinator turned the mighty longhorns down.

Ha...well, not as much as you'd think. I live about 5 hours away from Austin but I've been there multiple times.

That's true. They aren't your fathers Longhorns at the moment. However, they have a great defensive minded head coach, and a legion of fans. They ( & Oklahoma) are basically the sole reason the B12 exists. But if he decides to choose Cuse, I will be ecstatic. Just hate being after Texas and perhaps Florida?

WOW, can you say the second coming of Ray Lewis. He sure fits his nickname, "Reese the Beast". That one guy can really help turn our defense around.

Hopefully without the homicide stuff.

Without the legendary white suit, I hope.

I agree!

Now here is where I will make a controversial statement: if you are a college kid who can't legally drink I don't think Austin is that different than any other urban campus. The campus is firmly in the middle of the city... and there is a TON of construction going on all over the campus. To make it worse it's hot as anything from July-October, the time that football players spend the most amount of time practicing. There is definitely an allure to being a part of the UT tradition but in my opinion its totally oversold and fading fast. UT thinks they are all that but I just don't see it... Baylor, TCU and AnM have all surpassed UT in status. There's a very real chance that Strong is out after next year if he doesn't fix his offense. Sonny Cumbie turned down the UT OC position and a 3MM/3yr guaranteed contract to become OC at TCU (he was co-coordinator last year but the dude calling plays there looks to be headed to Tulane).

I've lived in Austin for about 5 1/2 years now, and this paragraph is nuts.

But, I'll refrain from boring the board with arguing the particulars of Austin, which I'm quite sure nobody cares about. Instead, I'll just ask this - you said you don't think Austin is that different than any other urban campus. How many major college football programs have a campus "firmly in the middle of the city"? Not many, and THAT, in and of itself, is a selling point.
