Texas picks up a commitment today from 3* TE Gunnar Helm, out of CO. He committed to Texas over Wisconsin and Iowa.ย 

Looks like he's a 4* on Rivals and a mid 3* on 247.ย  Couldn't find him on ESPN.ย  Looks like the kind of kid that goes to Iowa or Wisconsin and ends up being a stud.ย ย

Texas got its first commit for the 22' class in WR Phaizon Wilson.ย  He's on the far right with some of the 21' commits.

Hes a thick kid. Would probably be a 4-5 star OLB at most states but high schools in Texas are obsessed with letting guys with OLB frames play WR even though in college the majority of them do very little because they can't get separation. Ill never understand it.

This guy has played very little real football in his career too, from what Iโ€™ve read. ย Heโ€™ll be a junior in the fall. ย ย  Most of it has been 7-on-7. Heโ€™s gonna grow and fill out. ย His HS coach may use him on defense too moving forward. ย

With 2 seconds on the clock....

โ€how appropriate is this? ย Ending this rivalry, when you got it coming down to a walk off kick one way or the other and they will talk about it in this state for YEARS and YEARSโ€ - Craig James

ย 

โ€œIt is going to be devastating, for whoever comes out on the short end of this game, but what tremendous effort weโ€™ve seen from both Texas A&M and Texas in this finale game of the rivalry. ย the players are caught up in the middle of this. ย They have no say in whether theyโ€™re going to play or not but theyโ€™ve gone out and put their hearts out on that field tonight and provide a great theatreโ€. - Rece Davis

ย 

โ€this is the only way youโ€™d anticipate a game like this, in a rivalry like this, finishing temporRily. ย These rivalry games as players we loved them because you throw all of theย statistics, all of the records out the window. ย These are great, competitive matchups, and this one coming right down to the wire.โ€ ย - Jessie Palmer

then Justin Tucker does his thing. ย

I gotta hand to them , Texas just wonโ€™t let it go. Would be hilarious if some A&M players wore Let it go Tom on their jerseys or Saw em off and quit asking or something like that. The social justice should have some benefits. In all seriousness Texas needs this matchup more than A&M. Aggies have more to lose but a lot of time has passed for it hurt recruitment. This game wonโ€™t happen unless it a bowl game.ย 

Those ideas would work.... had you won

RB Daniel Young has not been working out with the team amid COVID concerns, and may opt out of the season. Adds a bit of reasoning to the staff pursing Towson RB Shane Simpson.

Ingram, Johnson and Robison would be ahead of Young on the depth chart.......and Whittington could move to RB if needed.....so barring 2 or 3 injuries, not a big lose.ย

Oh I completely agree. The way the injury bug has hit the last couple years, however, they may have simply been looking to fill the void.

Texas has a nice pickup at the center position this morning. Michael Myslinki out of Florida. He has great pedigree (see below) and Iowa was after him hard.ย

Tom Myslinskiย 
Former University of Tennessee offensive lineman who went on to play nine seasons in the NFL. Currently serves as strength and conditioning coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

His hudl looks just as good as James Brockermeyer IMO so I don't think Texas dropped offย when factoring those two.ย  The problem is Texas isn't going to get anybody on Tommy's level.

Hoping Cosmi getting drafted high + Kerstetter at a decent spot will change minds on the 22' OL group because it's another very good deep class.

Myron Warren in the portal after 1st day of practice.ย  Must not have liked where he was on the depth chart.ย  To bad I think he could have been a good piece on the DL in another year or 2.

He the guy from Many, La?

Outside of maybe a 1 or 2, I think the Texas commits are pretty much ranked where they should be, but this one seems off to me.ย  Verified numbers that are elite with the production on the field to go with it.ย  Not sure what's missing?

Doesnโ€™t matter.ย

Seeing on social media folks talking about a small number of Big 10 (B1G) schooks want to play football in the Big 12 this season. Also, some Big 10 schools are pushing to cancel fall sports, thus some schools wanting to play in the Big 12. Ohio State and Nebraska are two of the teams being mentioned as interested in playing in the Big 12.

Sounds far fetched at the moment, but who knows, 2020 is straight crazy.ย
