Love these kids commiting early. Soon as they announce another school, I’m hitting ignore thread. Really helps clean up the clutter.

Whatever happens today, recall that last year Tom Herman had a very underwhelming initial class at Texas. After one full year on the job, even with middling results on the field, he has locked down the State of Texas and is set to have a top 5 class this year. Patience, everyone.

Same here! Morning Vol Fam! Big win last night..
about this Anthony Grant to anyone who's followed close, was this loss expected? As a RB I assume we could have used him.. oh well. On to the next!

Yes was a pretty certain loss. I honestly dont think we pushed hard to keep him.

Yes, it was an expected loss. Though we tried to make a late push, the staff did not make him a priority when they got here. I don’t think Pruitt was a huge fan of him.

Can anyone summarize who we have a legit shot at?

I'm assuming we're heavily favored for JJ Peterson and Young; and we're in the mix for Copeland, ITS, OG, OO, and Quay Walker. Any others?

How do you ignore a thread. Great idea!

On the orange menu bar at the top of each thread, click “thread tools” on the right hand side. Ignore thread is the bottom selection.

Note: if you ignore a thread it becomes invisible, but if you want to view it later you can view all ignored threads from your UserCP.

We basically have a legit shot with everyone on the list except Harrison and Griffin. News on the other players has been wildly swaying to the good and bad extremes the past few days.
