Miss on literally everyone in state and pick up a diamond in the rough from The Boot. Right, Williams was a known quantity to LSU and their fans since about the 9th grade, but they wouldn't let him commit because his grades were in question, and while they were waiting to see what would happen with grades, they filled up while reserving spots for Surtain Jr, Marshall, Chase, etc, and ended up not being able to take several guys that they probably should have, like Foster, Williams, Goodrich, etc.

Who is Warren?? 2) Folks that watch a lot of tape..... Is Cain as good as some think??? (Watched Cain in Game on ESPN earlier this season, and I was disappointed by what I saw..... maybe my fault due to high expectations) 3) SIAP..... Besides the 2 IMG RBs and kid from Katy, who else besides Brown (Ga) would TEXAS take at RB that would be a Great Recruit??

Seems like the most likely scenario is Brown and Glass. Glass would be pretty meh to me, but whatever, I've learned to trust this staff's evaluations

Besides the 2 IMG RBs and kid from Katy, who else besides Brown (Ga) would TEXAS take at RB that would be a Great Recruit?? Myron Warren is the TCU edge defender who decommitted right after we offered recently from a small town in Louisiana. He's blown up with interest from Texas, Oregon, Notre Dame, etc. LSU is starting to look at him too, but probably won't have room. Cain reminds me of a solid chain moving SEC power running back that you'd see at LSU or Auburn in past years. Like Stevan Ridley, Kenny Irons, Alfred Blue, etc. He doesn't have good long speed, but gets yard after contact, is already an advanced blocker and receiver, plays against elite competition, and is an early enrollee, so he should be an instant contributor. I don't think he's can't miss, but he's very good. Not sure who else is out there, but this staff is great at finding guys

Florida probably wins out as the compromise school and his older brother is there. I have no idea what we'll do at RB in 2019. The grad transfer RB market could be an interesting follow. I'd be tempted to save the ship and try to land Evans, Mookie, and Jordan in 2020. Do you really think that is feasible? All three coming here? I don’t see Evans ending up at Texas.

Myron Warren, DE from Many, LA. https://247sports.com/player/myron-warren-46051810/ Former TCU commit. He's pretty, pretty good. The recruiting analysts seem to love Cain's inside/zone running ability. He's not a home run threat, but he'd be darned good at Texas.

Texas is in the group of teams that could land Evans. The pie is split between several teams though and there's a long way to go in the recruitment, so I'd mostly ignore it for now.

He wouldn't get me very excited. Anderson continues to sting. I met him and his step dad before while he was uncommitted. His step dad was a huge Sooner fan, so I knew we were screwed. Best Katy RB is quite some time and it's not even close. I want Glass to be good, but I just don't see it happening. I hope Texas is looking nation wide for the second RB spot. Surely there have to be better options in California.

He wouldn't get me very excited. Wonder if any JUCO or Grad-Transfer RBs available for 2019 Season? Not sure about what most think, but for me it seems the 2019 Roster needs to add some experience at LB, DE, S, and at least 1 OL.

I think we get Mookie, but tOSU is going to fight like heck for him. I think Texas could get Jordan whenever we wants to commit. All three have very different skill sets. Evans = Adrian Petterson. Mookie = Dobbins. Jordan = a better version of Ta'Zhawn Henry.

Ingram is awesome, but we don't have much else on the roster. Another Tre Watson would be ideal. Really smart in short yardage situations and a good receiver.

I think LSU is legit in their conference. It'll depend on the match up, but I think they lose their bowl game. Oeaux prepping for 4-5 weeks vs a good coach isn't fair. I like Florida in the World's Largest Cocktail Party, but I could see them dropping 1-2 more games. UGA stinks is a topic of conversation right now. Finebaum should be pretty fun tomorrow. He'll definitely let the UGA callers in, but we'll see on Auburn fans. PAWL is even more Bama/Saban biased than in previous years, if that's possible.
October 14, 20187 yr Uga hasn’t proven much THIS season yet. Like Colorado. They’ve been given the benefit of the doubt because of last season and sec.

October 14, 20187 yr Herbie predicted we’d play almost the entire game with our backup qb and not win turnovers, but still win the game?

Maybe Tom and Drayton can work with him and convince him to stay (doubtful, I know). At least it opens up room for recruits to see playing time. What's up with Danny Young? Hadn't seen much of him lately. Another transfer casualty?

October 14, 20187 yr Texas will be “back” when they blow out teams they are supposed to blow out. All these games going down to the wire is good for getting these youngsters experience in grinding out a win but you can only walk that line so far until you wind up in the losing side.
