Mike Ruether, an offensive lineman for the University of Texas Longhorns from 1980 to 1983, had a notable collegiate career with several accolades. In 1983, he was named a first-team All-American by multiple selectors, recognizing him as one of the top players in the nation. He also earned first-team All-Southwest Conference (SWC) honors that same year, highlighting his dominance in the conference. Ruether was a key contributor to the 1983 Longhorns team, which won the SWC championship and finished the regular season undefeated, earning a No. 2 national ranking before competing in the Cotton Bowl.

We are now at 57 days away from the Longhorns opening their season by squaring off against Ohio State. Who’s your favorite No. 57 to play for Texas? An option today includes…. Mike Ruether

You most likely have the day off today, so start it the right way with Coffee and Football. Show starts about 8:15 AM!

fwiw, I agree. It's important to publicly take the Ls along with the commitments. If a kid OVs, they should at least merit a pinned post for 24 hours on their announcement day.

Felix Ojo is ranked right under Jackson Cantwell in the composite rankings who received an NIL package of 2-2.5 mil a year from Miami. His agent will do everything they can to get him in that ballpark range. With that being said, Ojo is a developmental player and would not start year 1 at Texas or any other serious playoff contender. That would be a lot of money sitting on the bench. Ojo has loved the recruiting process and hopefully Sark/Flood already saw this coming……

While we burn wieners and toast America today, remember that the program as a whole is in a better place today than it was this time last year. No matter what happens today it can’t be any worse than last year right. Hook em and God Bless the USA.

How many All Americans have we had on one team? I imagine 2004-2005 had a few.

And you know this how? Texas will have a top 5 class again as usual on December.

This is such a bad take. It’s different with the House Settlement. Why are kids going to other schools? More NIL. NIL doesn’t grow on trees, Texas won’t have more NIL in Dec (and even if it did, some of these players are already signing contracts). You cannot compare this year to any year previously.

Don't think Texas views it the same way. One of my favorite recruiting stories from last year is that DK Moore asked Texas for tickets to the Georgia game in Austin. Texas told him no. You can guess why.

Because they said we would get Turntine. And that is what is happening. Good in state next year also.

We are starting to see more of it. There have been several in this cycle that have done that. Just me, but if I was a prospect and wanted to have my announcement I would do the same or not tell the teams until 15-20 mins prior. The news always trickles out from the ones that don’t get the player 95% of the time. Now, I would take the time to call the remaining staffs from the final few after the announcement and say thank you and whatever else a player wants to … in case things change. It’s not a popular opinion , but I don’t have a problem with someone trying to keep the lid on their news as much as possible.

Maybe his performance was an eye opener for him and his family so they are taking the sure thing?

Kiper is Todd McShay's daddy. You guys are super disrespectful and the reason the draft so done the way its done is largely because of that guy. Archie is funny.. and was probably pulling his leg a bit. Just because you hate Sheduer doesn't mean McShay is the draft whisperer.

As big of a headache as his recruitment has been, I'm not sure I would want to throw big dollars at someone who is this flaky. It's clear the people in his camp value the big NIL $$ more than his development. He may go to Lubbock as a 5* but I can almost guarantee he won't leave there as one, ask Micah Hudson what Lubbock does with 5* recruits...
