'20 TX RB Zachary Evans

[cncchris33]

Texas is a waste of time

Agree. I've said it for years.

Agree. I've said it for years.

I’ve said the opposite for a decade.

 

[StoVol]

Texas is QB heaven. Guys been playing 7 on 7 for 6 years by the time they graduate, the state produces guys that can throw, probably more underrated guys in that state than any other

 

[MoB_MoVols]

Got Creer from Texas too.

Denarius Moore too

Too bad we couldn't land Dalton Santos.. and still waiting for Eddrick Loften to make it to campus

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Denarius Moore too

Derricks Evans

 

[ThreatLevelVol]

Stephens, Foster, Hardesty, Coker( though he didn't finish was very special)

I really liked Riggs Jr from Red Bank

Well, the state of Texas hasn't been too kind to us over that decade. Tons of talent to be had, but the best of it tends to stay home, or at least regional (Oklahoma, LSU, etc). We have had more success in California over the past 20 years than we have in Texas, it seems like.

Lennon Creer never played a down.

Texas is closer and there are droves of Tennessee born down here. Kick the tires...doesn’t cost any more.

I'm honestly shocked we've not had anymore success than we have. It just rarely seems to materialize for whatever reason.

Lennon Creer played a few downs.

Lennon Creer played a few downs.

He was pretty dang fast, you may have just missed him.

 

[MiramarVol]

He left cause he felt he should have been the starter over Hardesty, but was beat out in Spring ball.

I recollect. Returned kickoffs. I remember thinking it was crazy how quickly he turned around. Did he go to N Tejas?

Louisiana Tech I think

 

[VolDC]

My two favorite UT highlights are Eric Berry knocking Moreno's pecker in his watch pocket, and the Hardesty spin move.

 

[Hyperion]

DeMo and to a much lesser extent Corey Campbell are the only two Texans that have really contributed in my recollection. Greg Barum should have been a beast but I'm not sure what happened there. UT has had really bad luck with kids from there.

Jason Parker from TX IIRC...dude was a beast at safety, could definitely blow people up but poor in pass coverage.

Much more success in Okla with Ray Austin, Marcus Nash, Jonathan Brown, and Meachem. That well dried up a long time ago.

 

[MoB_MoVols]

Lennon Creer never played a down.

He played some as a freshman and sophomore but carried the ball 100+ times total in those two years

SN: if this was sarcasm it totally went over my head

 

[VolForLife83]

Lennon Creer never played a down.

I remember it differently. Kid was going to be special

Its always going to be hard get kids away from down here...especially with Texas, A&M, OU, Baylor recruits good as well. That doesn't mean we should stop trying

Yet Texas hasnt has a good QB in years...
