Former starting LB turned TE

Looks like that picture was taken at their spring game.

I see a lot of pics with BV giving the horns down with a recruit. Part of your recruiting process is to pay tribute to your rival? Doesn’t this just make recruits want to see what Texas is all about. Or does he only do this for recruits he knows Texas isn’t pushing for.

I think it helps Texas in recruiting.  I’m not bothered by horns down.  I think it hilarious.  It just seems weird for the head football coach to do it.  I understand the players wanting to do it.  Texas might be the only program in the country that has a hand sign that is used in the opposite manner by non Texas fans.  It’s free advertising for the university imo.  It helps weed out the prospects that want to go to OU and the prospects that want no part of OU like Felix Ojo.

The fact that you have fan bases like Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, bothered by OU prospects doing horns down means they might be going overboard.  To be fair all of those schools have their own hand signs.  But to see them getting annoyed by it lets you know it’s not a good look for BV and his recruits to do it all the time.
