    State of the Program

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    This week, Gerry, CJ and I talk big picture issues, including the strength of Texas football this spring, Rodney Terry's first year at the helm, and how proposed new NCAA rules, particularly a June signing day, would impact the Longhorns.

    Real quick on the recruiting front of Alamo Heights 2025 ATH Michael Terry III:
    Majority of schools are split at wide receiver and running back for where he fits in at the next level. Texas is still even trying to decipher what is the best fit for him. The message Terry is receiving most from schools is "get to campus and we will figure it out from there."
    New programs in this recruitment include Oregon, TCU, Texas A&M and Nebraska. Texas is firmly in the mix as well.
    Tashard Choice actually extended the first offer Michael Terry III received when he was in 8th grade. Choice offered when he was still at Georgia Tech. 
    When I get back home, I will have a more detailed outlook on the recruitment posted up on the site. Biggest takeaway here is that things are pretty open going into the spring – much more so than coming out of the winter visit to Texas.
