The problem even McMillen acknowledges is that there are major differences between some of the schools he lobbies for. For instance, the difference between Texas and Old Dominion is fairly significant.

I sat down with the president of Lead1 Association Tom McMillen. McMillen’s group encompasses the top 130 football programs in the country, not all of the NCAA. I got his thoughts on where college sports is actually headed. View full news

I don't know that any of those three are necessarily at the top of the board for the Horns at this point. We just don't know if the Horns are prioritizing them.

Love this stuff.

We're going to keep this updated for folks.

We shall see!

I still think it should be a single day/week on the first Wednesday of February. Either that, or sign whenever you want.

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. View full news

This is a major development.

On Sunday night, we’re going to do a quiz show instead of our regular Sunday night Livestream. It’ll be Gerry, Rod, Blake (who is hosting) and myself. One of the segments needs some feedback from Texas fans. If you would, please fill out this quick Google for for us. Questions are simple and easy. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Am1ayv5k_L2faGvg6YyLR_sgvNOtnZ3DkYCNOwHf9QE

The fire now encompasses 800 square miles. And is 0% controlled. A nuclear facility has been evacuated.

That’s the way to leave Lubbock!

The entire town of Canadian up in the Panhandle was evacuated yesterday. Other small towns like Fritch stood in the way, too. We have a friend who checks in every morning on Coffee & Football from Canadian. Our sincere hope is that you and your family are ok. Please keep that part of our state in your thoughts today.

Fair There’s some guesswork left in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 recruiting classes because they have not all completely exhausted their eligibility.

Yes, they are anticipated to play pro ball. McCoy is in this year's draft and expected to be a top 200 pick.

Like where this one is headed currently.

Just brutal.

Position Breakdown: Quarterbacks (5) - Sam Ehlinger, Shane Buechele (transfer), Ja'Quinden Jackson (transfer, moved to RB), Cam Rising (transfer), R Johnson (position change) Running backs (4) - Brown, Foreman, Ingram, Robinson Receivers (8) - Humphrey, Duvernay, C Johnson, M Johnson, Whittington, Meander (transfer, moved to LB), McCoy (transfer), Black Tight end (3) - Swaim, Beck, Wiley (transfer) Offensive line (7) - Cosmi, Perkins, Harrison (transfer), Jones, Majors, Williams, Hawkins Defensive end (4) - Ossai, Omenihu, Roach, Roberson (transfer) Defensive tackle (9) - Ford, Brown, Ridgeway, Sweat, Elliott (transfer), Graham, Collins, Coburn, Ojomo Linebacker (3) - Jefferson, Overshown, Ford Cornerback (4) - Hill, Boyd, Thomas, Jamison Safety (12) - Diggs, M Thompson, Jones, Locke, Sterns, J Thompson, Elliott, Barron, Schooler, Colbert (transfer), Green (transfer), Owens (transfer) Punter (1) - Michael Dickson Kicker (1) - Cameron Dicker Notes: - Only 7 OLs compasred to 13 DLs. - Look at the staggering discrepancy between corner and safety. - Only 1 QB stayed at QB; RoJo moved to RB obviously but wasn't recruited as such. - In a 10-year run, the highest drafted receiver for the Horns came at no. 92 overall. Texas should have two WRs gone before that in this upcoming draft. - Texas signed NFL TEs in back-to-back years and then not another one for five years. - Hard to believe Texas produced only five NFL RBs in that decade and one of them was a converted QB.

Great discussion. Thanks for posting. The bigger idea to me here is the necessity and value of stringing recruiting classes together. Even a one-year hiccup can be devastating to consistency. If you want to be a consistently elite program, you have to be a great recruiting program every year. -- And that's not to mention whatever it is that the finals years of Mack Brown tells us.

Good stuff, Gerry.

Warner Robins High.

I did not do a position analysis, which probably would have been useful, too. QBs a clear issue. Only Sam made it to the league.
