Baron Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I figure since fall camp has officially started we could start a thread for the 2015 season. Any news, other than recruiting, someone might have can be posted here instead of the spring thread. I'll start with news that I'm sure everyone has heard Camrhon NCAA Hughes is officially gone Erik Huhn has taken a medical scholarship Merrick is now on scholarship and no longer a grayshirt WR Garrett Gray has been switched to TE and is up to 226 lbs Still waiting on the clearinghouse for Major and Clairington although Strong seems to think they will be cleared sometime before the season starts. Anybody else have anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatbambino Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There's the O-linemen Terrell Cuney arrest, but I think he'll just get suspended for a few games. Excited to see how the young guys do. Hearing a lot of good things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks for making this thread Baron! From the sound of some observers at yesterday's practice, here are the freshmen that are running with the 1s! Malik (no surprise) WR John Burt (not exclusively but getting some reps with the 1s) OL Connar Williams (won his spot in spring) CB Kris Boyd (playing opposite of Duke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 DeAndre McNeal is also looking great at TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 DeAndre McNeal is also looking great at TE.Lots of people raving about his athleticism at the TE position! I hear that he may very well play a lot and early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that he may very well play a lot and early on.I'm still reading where a lot of Aggies think he should be playing lb. dude has great speed, athleticism and hands. He'll make an impact this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll make an impact this season.That's probably because LB is a position of need for them. Our LB group is in better shape and I believe McNeal wanted offense the whole way.

WETSU Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 That's probably because LB is a position of need for them. Our LB group is in better shape and I believe McNeal wanted offense the whole way.He reminds me of a Nate Askew clone. A kid with the athleticism to play a big WR, Hback, or te but also could be effective at LB. especially in space. I don't think it's that A&M thought he was a LB, it's just they have better players than him at his other two positions of WR and Hback so LB kind of fit better for him if he was going to A&M. I too think he made the right choice to play te at Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFootball Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I see why the Aggies passed on him then. HAHA I guess they COULD'VE tried turning a Heisman QB into a safety... That might have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Texas freshman LB Cecil Cherry reportedly considering transferring. No official reason given yet, but they say he may be homesick. I know that happens often when players go so far away from home, so perhaps he ultimately decides to stay. If he does leave, he's rumored to go to South Florida.

Baron Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 So the Florida 5 is now the Florida 1? Davis and Burt are still there. Clairington is still in limbo. And Cherry hasn't left yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo97 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So the Florida 5 is now the Florida 1? At this time, he's only considering. So until he actually leaves, he's still a Longhorn. That said, Clarington is still expected to be there by the start of the season, just waiting on NCAA clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how often kids get homesick when they go off to school, especially as far from home as he is? If 90% of them actually left, there would be a much higher transfer rate. I'm not sure where you pulled that number from...although I have an idea, lol....but I'd be willing to bet it is much lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB2point0 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 As of right now it is being reported he is considering leaving. Read on other sites that posters who have classes with cherry said he was in class this morning. I'd bet he stays I stand corrected..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not "official" I guess. But I follow recruiting very closely. 90% is of the cases in my memory. Not many kids in my recollection get cleared this late. But by all means superscott, prove me wrong if you know of a high percentage of examples and can list them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for getting NCAA clearance then, I can't remember who it was...perhaps someone can help me....but Texas actually just had a player a year or two ago that didn't get clearance until August 16.
