Sorry, late to the party but gonna share a few thoughts anyway.
Sources. The sources that everyone has right now for this entire Demas story are :: Hamm, Brauninger, and EJ.
So, what you have is FWK (who wasn't even there) talking to Hamm and Brauninger (both delusional even by Aggy standards) and a current Horn player and/or 2020 recruit talking to EJ, who knows NOTHING. Ever.
There is no world in which Tom Herman gets up during a recruiting event, attended by folks like the Lindbergs/Parrs/Evans and talks about Aggy for anything outside of an off-handed quip or joke. None. There is a clear and defined message during all of these events and Herman and Chang deliver that message to their staff before the day and then it is the be all end all. Everyone is to be on message at all times. Right now, that message is clearly "Texas is built to win titles. We are built to physically dominate our opponents." Corollary to this is stuff like see our record vs. the SEC in recent bowls, as well as our conference record vs. the SEC. etc
The key thing that shows me that this was a complete delusional construct was the discussion that Demas "almost left". That is Penthouse Forums bullshit and straight from the Aggy dream scenarios booklet. Let's imagine this playing out ... Demas who is now living with Hunter Dunn. The same Dunn family who love UT and want their son to be offered by Texas, he got so butthurt by jabs about Aggy and the SEC - from Tom Herman in a room FULL of kids from multiple classes AND their parents - that he was going to up and by God leave before he said anything more about his beloved Army and College Dadgum Station? WHOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Give me a fucking break.
Told by an idiot, all full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Demas isn't coming to Texas (Bama would be my guess) but this entire story from this weekend is nonsense and fabricated bullshit.
