  1. AUSTIN, Texas — This is how tall the odds were facing Texas when coach Tom Herman, receivers coach Drew Mehringer, quarterback Sam Ehlinger and player personnel director Kevin Washington landed in Los Angeles on Wednesday to try to rally talented receiver Bru McCoy back to Austin: McCoy hadn’t returned calls, texts or emails from Texas personnel for more than two weeks, sources close to the situation told Horns247.com. So if the Texas contingent went into Wednesday feeling like McCoy’s mind was already made up to do the unthinkable — use the NCAA transfer portal to return to USC less than six months after using it to leave USC for Texas — they were probably justified, sources said. LATEST FROM CBS SPORTSSee optimized fantasy football cheat sheetsSportsLine simulated the 2018 NFL season 10,000 times and predicted every player's true performance. It might be a small victory that both Texas and McCoy emerged from Wednesday's meeting in Los Angeles with Texas willing to give McCoy a little more time to sort through his next move. At this point, it would be an upset if McCoy decided to return to Texas, because if there’s one thing people close to McCoy, the nation’s No. 9 overall prospect in 2019, know about him, he’s stubborn. To a fault. It drives his father, Horace, who played tight end at Northern Illinois in 1994, crazy, causing some heated arguments between the two, sources said. Sources close to the situation said Horace scolded his son to stick with his enrollment at USC in January, only to watch Bru pack up and leave for Texas, after then-USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury left to become head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Then, Horace McCoy argued with his son to return to Texas after Bru came home to Los Angeles nearly three weeks ago, at the end of the UT spring semester, with ideas of transferring back to USC. Sources close to the family are incredibly aware of the public relations hit Bru McCoy would take if he returns to USC. McCoy would become the first student-athlete in FBS history to transfer from one school to another and back — within six months — before ever competing in a single contest in their scholarship sport. PAID CONTENT BY INTEL CORPORATIONAI-Powered Supply ChainsSee how AI-powered digital transformation simplifies and connects processes at Intel. McCoy’s parents have told Bru he'd have a good chance to gain immediate eligibility at Texas through an NCAA waiver he has yet to sign. It's a near certainty McCoy would have to sit out a year if he transfers back to USC, sources said. A former NFL coach who is familiar with McCoy’s situation told Horns247 the first question Bru McCoy is going to get from NFL personnel if he becomes a draft prospect is, “You got a problem with commitment? Should we not draft you in Green Bay or Buffalo, because you don’t like the cold or you’re gonna get homesick?” But sources said McCoy’s parents weren’t crazy about him going to Mater Dei, and Bru went anyway and had a standout high school experience on and off the field. It’s the bonds he formed with teammates at Mater Dei who are now at USC, including Trojans’ quarterback JT Daniels and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, that appear to be drawing him back to USC. McCoy is also close to current Mater Dei quarterback Bryce Young, who is committed to USC. Daniels and St. Brown have told McCoy the USC offense is going to be explosive under Air Raid disciple Graham Harrell, who was hired to replace Kingsbury in February, two weeks after McCoy left for Texas. “Bru’s best friend at Texas is De'Gabriel Floyd, a fellow Cali(fornia) kid who just got diagnosed with spinal stenosis and is out of football for the 2019 season,” one source said. “He feels close with receivers coach Drew Mehringer, but he can’t tell if Tom Herman likes Mehringer or might be looking to replace him. “So, for better or worse, right or wrong, he doesn’t feel like he has a strong inner circle at Texas like he would at USC. Of course, he hasn’t even been at Texas long enough to have much of an inner circle.” 10COMMENTS And then there’s the tenuous job security of USC football coach Clay Helton, who lost five of his last seven games and might need to win nine in 2019 to keep his job. If Helton doesn’t have a turnaround season, he and USC athletic director Lynn Swann could both be out. “Texas just won 10 games, went to the Big 12 title game, beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and wants to make McCoy a centerpiece in the offense as a freshman,” one source close to the situation said. “Meanwhile, McCoy could be going back to total chaos at USC if things don’t go exactly right.”
  2. My son talked to him and he seems serious. They have been playing together since the 6th grade and TA is using his new found “stardom” to try and help out his boys. I still think it will be Texas or A&M that wins out. I have watched JM and I don’t think he’s a Top QB. Definitely not a Tier 5 school. That could change...he’s going into his JR year and could improve. If he does...then I would suspect that all the big schools will be offering up the package to get the deal.
  3. That’s the truth. How do all these schools get guys who can hit an open jumper and we get guys who could build the new arena during shoot around?
  4. This is pathetic. How can we not recruit players that can’t shoot? I think the Shaka experience has shelf life of 1 year. If not for the buyout, he’d be gone. They better show up in the NIT.
  5. I hope he continues to trend our way. His father is adamant about education. Tunmise has a good head on his shoulders and will be an exemplary student and citizen. He will be “Acho-esque” in that aspect. He’s 15 and enjoying the process. I think he ends up in Austin. My son and him have talked about going to UT together. Be a lot cooler if they did.
  6. Yes. He’s 15. He’s enjoying the process. When he signs with Texas all will be forgiven.
  7. I approve of this post.
  8. Rent Free. Wow. May be the best retort on Twitter in a long time.
  9. I think he was tramalized by the whole experience.
  10. 900 down....100 to go
  11. Short bus, window licking, crayon eating, mouth breathers. Fuck all of them
  12. Fuck Theo Weese. Horns down? What a dumbass. He’s perfect for OU
  13. Demas showed up to almost every home game. I think we flip him. I also think we will get Zack Evans. We will take a grad transfer and hopefully RS Brown. Ingram and the GT play all next year and Evans will hop right in in 2020 with Ingram and Brown. Sam will be a SR and the running game will be devastating.
  14. If Hamm’s ex-old lady had waited a year, she could have been banging the pool boy.
  15. Dude....he’s a pool cleaner....not a meat gazer. Advantage aggy
  16. Good choice. He has the frame to add good weight and the foot movement to be a star. I expect to see him on the field in 2021. I think he’s going to be a beast but needs 3 years with Yancy and 3 years with Herb to become a tactician. Now we just need Bru and another DT
  17. It cracks me up that these kids who haven’t played a down of college football act like they are the 2nd coming of Barry Sanders. Business?? Riddle me this Noah....are you planning to live in Pittsburgh or Philly after you finish college? The odds of you playing in the NFL are slim. So when that doesn’t work out, what “business” are you planning to do? Work in coal or steel? My guess is you will want to move back to the south when you are done with football and the PSU alumni base isn’t as large as the Texas base. But hey, I hear Altoona is nice this time of year, so enjoy your 4 years in Happy Valley and hopefully you are “distracted” by finishing 2nd and 3rd in the Big 10.
  18. Cain made his choice. He want to go to Happy Valley, go and enjoy. When you play 2nd fiddle to OSU all 4 years and don’t become the next “Saquon” you can use that immensely huge PSU alumni group to help you after football. Good luck Noah.
  19. Hell yes! Made it to 666
  20. Fixed your post for you
  21. I can’t imainge how much it must suck to be a D1 coach at the University of Texas at 29. You may not agree with some of his decisions but obviously he’s talented otherwise he wouldn’t be here. Bru loves him. I know he struggled last year and it showed on the field. That’s obviously changed with the improvement of LJH and Colin. Coaching had nothing to do that 🙄. I would love to get David Beaty because he’s a great recruiter and can help us in Dallas but DM has done a good job. I know at 29 I would have loved a job like that
  22. I am always amazed at how some posters act like the sky is falling for a HS kid who hasn’t played a down of D1 ball. Our haul at WR last year was elite for the Outside but panned by many posters because we didn’t get a slot. Now we have 2 elite slots coming in along with Josh Moore and the guys who were elite last year are now garbage and if we miss on a kid from Missouri, we should fire our WR coach because he now sucks? Giles gets hammered, yet he produces and his DL men are the best in conference but he can’t recruit and should be fired? Y’all make no god damn sense. We will be fine. Let’s finish with Sanders, Bru, Caleb Lewis, Hookfin, and Coker and let Yancy and the coaches do the rest. If kids don’t want to commit to Texas, best of luck with your decision because this train is headed to the Playoffs next year and for a MNC in Sam’s Senior year
  23. As long as we get some players that excel in the program and become part of a National Championship winner, that math and logic works for me.
  24. Here’s some Wells logic: missing out on banging a hot sorority chick is no big deal, unless you find a hotter one to bang” - Wells
  25. He tells my son that Texas is his dream school. He loved his visit and everything going on in Austin. Contrary to popular belief, Giles is a good recruiter and he loved TH. I think he ends up in Austin. He is enjoying the process and being recruited, but I think he makes his decision before his senior year and he sticks with it. The winning and culture TH has created in Austin is making a huge difference.
