Geoff Eneman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Man even if he entered it would be extremely close to be able to get him in on time before the add/drop date. Would Texas be able to squeeze him in after if it came down to it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 11 minutes. Is he in yet? 🤣 Joking aside, if he doesn't enroll by the 1/30 window, could he sit out spring and enroll in the summer? Or does he need to take spring classes to maintain eligibility? Is he able to maintain his scholarship from Michigan to take spring classes if he doesn't participate in spring football at the school?

Texas fan in Georgia Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This would be the first big test for the new DLine coach . If grant was to enter of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirhornsalot Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I would be fine with sticking with Collins, Broughton, Arizona DL, Bledsoe and Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant isn’t a guy you’d turn down. An all American DT is a gem to have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could maintain his scholarship at Michigan and enroll elsewhere after spring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseMcCoyTruther Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Is this just Twitter/message board smoke or is there something here with Grant? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusMOJO Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think we only missed on Caldwell because of the Davis move to LSU. At least that was my opinion. He even seemed to be waiting for several days after Davis to maybe see what Texas would do, before he went in on Oregon. Either way, I really like our chances here if he does enter and it does seem likely he will. Adding him as a starter next to Collins would be huge. Would also make most feel good about the room (although I personally feel good about the room right now). I think interior DL is one area where Texas has not really recruited that well since Sark took over. Believe it's one area where he's looking to improve and start getting some of the top guys there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read on 247sports from one of the posters there, is that he's been following both Texas and Oregon stuff on X. Plus with the smoke of the S&C coach leaving and multiple defensive coaches, there does seem to be something there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexShoe Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Grant made one of the most impressive plays of last year, chasing down a Penn State RB from behind. Yeah, we want that guy... BMF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of this play by Larry Allen back in the '90s. Must get for Sark and co. if they can pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
