Moderators CJ Vogel Posted November 12 Moderators Share Posted November 12 Texas has three wide receivers committed in the 2025 class at the moment, three really good wide receivers at that. However, I received word that the Longhorns are continuing to work on Oregon commit Dakorien Moore. A flip of the Ducks WR commit would be difficult and I am told it would be rather unlikely, however, it is worth mentioning that the phone is still being picked up for now. Moore committed to Oregon on July 4 and has been firm since then. Right now, this just remains something to monitor. 16 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watty7796 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Not to be a downer but DK Moore has turned down Texas twice. He's a great prospect but I don't think he wants to be a Longhorn, and it seems that his family may be pushing it that way. Those kinds of situations don't usually end well. I wish the young man good luck but Texas would be better suited going after someone else imho. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeyiii Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Interesting to hear as other sites are saying we've backed off. I tend to think we keep the lines open until he signs but as others have said the kid just doesn't seem to want to be a Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgvhorn80 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I would say let this go…don’t piss off the kids that truly want to be at Texas. If you need that much convincing you don’t belong at UT. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that seems to have changed in the last two days I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookemDTX Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Ryan Williams told us no. Would you still want him on this team? The kid got money whipped by uncle Phil and he can't change his mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiKnight Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 (edited) With the transfer portal, never back off. The chance of him going to Oregon, getting home sick, or the situation changing and him deciding to be closer to home in Year two of Arch is too value not to keep building that relationship.

If not they may become yesterday’s news . I don’t believe more would like that . He seems like the kind of player that likes the headlines to me . One thing I’ve learned. Never underestimate SARK 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more than fine at QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always gotten the vibe that his family wanted him at Texas but Dakorien would rather go somewhere else to play college ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the young man good luck but Texas would be better suited going after someone else imho. This is how I have felt as well. I would also add that prior to him picking Oregon over the summer, some people around Duncanville thought Ohio State was going to be his pick. He never came out publicly in favor of Ohio State, but prior to his announcement, he had told a few people it was going to be Ohio State. As much as I hate losing out on him, I am happy with the three that we have committed. If Dakorien wants to be at Texas it’s a different story, but like you stated earlier, he has turned us down twice officially and three times unofficially. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly’s job getting a little shaky at LSU . Texas is most practical option. Get to catch balls from Arch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can get former five star WR Johntay Cook to make their receiver corps extra salty too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no culture issue prior to the Oregon commitment, DK just screwed up after his commitment to Oregon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
