'12 TX LB Dalton Santos (Texas Commit)

[LynxVol]

Off topic, but is that Dalton in your avatar??:question:

Yup.

 

[COOKEVOL]

They have the rights to it. But I agree.

Actually, they have the rights west of the Mississippi and Tennessee has it to the east. At least that's what my sources say.

Man, talk about a downgrade

Robison is definitely a backup plan if Santos is indeed going to commit to Texas, but Santos hasn't even taken his visit yet..:huh:

With that being said, Robison is 6'4" 228lbs. and that is a good size for a LB...Plus his 40 time is 4.58 seconds.:thumbsup:

His offer list isn't nearly as impressive as Santos' offer list, but it sounds like he would be a good pick up.:thumbsup:

 

[goooooovols]

Then he should have just committed to Texas and call it a day. No need playing childish games with your recruitment.

Maybe he'll visit and not like it.....nothing wrong with sorting out options. Quit crying, we'll be fine with or without him!

***k their rights.

Dizzamn straight. F UT2! Santos needs to stick with the real UT!

 

[Escape Goat]

Please don't ever refer to Texas as UT...

For real!!!

 

[DaddyChad]

Can we please not have members of our fanbase publicly criticize and flame the kid after he commits to Texas? Pretend you've been committed to Texas this whole time and just picked up a Tennessee offer. Kid has a right to do what he wants.

Not to mention a lot can happen between now and NSD. I would be very measured in criticism of any recruit.

If Santos is going to decommit, I would prefer he do it now where we have some time. This will be hard for him to turn down.

LOL. I live in Texas now and they would say the same thing about the Vols. If I were to say UT here, nobody here would think I was referring to the Vols. I know what you are saying, but I have to live here and I have to live in reality, and here in Texas reality is that UT stands for Texas--not the Vols.

They just extended the offer a few days ago and invited him out for an OV. The kid's got a lot to think about, obviously.

Relax Francis.

I'm fine. Just voicing my opinion. With or without him we will have a solid class when it's all said and done.

Nah, I will give him the business if he does. Believe that.

I'm gonna sit back and wait 'til NSD. He's a great player, and I hope he comes to Tennessee. Maybe he'll switch to Texas, but I think he looked down on UGA for coming to him late and therefore didn't give them much of a chance. I think this would also hurt Texas, but it sounds like he's also grown up a Longhorn fan. Certainly understand the concerns everyone has, but let the kid make his decision and don't dog him out for a switch that hasn't even occurred and hopefully won't occur.

Reminds me of what Mary Alice did to Opie!

 

[Sudden Impact]

recruiting is like HS dating....Watch out shinny object....

 

[UT_King]

Santos doesn't come across as a recruit who wants to be someones 2nd or 3rd choice which is exactly what he is for Texas. Guess we're going to find out soon.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I apologize for my outburst when it was known that Santos was visiting Texas..I calmed down last night quite a bit, but even moreso this morning.:hi:

The thing that pi$$es me off about this whole Texas ordeal is that they wait until 10 days b4 NSD to start recruiting him..That is total BS..Plus, they weren't even on his list of schools he was interested in..It would have been different had they been recruiting him for a long time..:angry:

I guess Mack Brown decided, "Hey why don't we go after that Santos kid that everyone in Tennessee loves just to pi$$ them off"..He sure enjoyed raiding our coaching staff last year..It;s not our problem that one of his commits backed out(or whatever happened there).:ermm:

Anyway, I'm over it and ready to move on to someone else..Any other possibilities?:question:

When did the NCAA put in a clause that disallows you from recruiting a kid if you started late?

I wouldn't take it so personally. I highly doubt Texas is doing this just to piss UT off...

 

[T-TownVol]

Word is that they are taking the Power "T" away from us also.

 

[buffaloblue]

I wonder if his offer here is even commitable. Could have asked him to look around. Only a 3* after all.

If Texas had been recruiting me hard for a long time, I had been comitted for months, Tennessee basically paid no attention and offered 2 weeks before signing day because they missed on someone........ I would tell them to kiss my a$$... Probably more in the form of, "Thanks but no thanks". That's just me though.. Not to mention my word means a lot to me.. I'm kind of hard headed and stubborn like that... Everybody has got to do what they.think is right...

OHHHHHHH HAELLLLLLL NAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nono:

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Yup.

Just that fact you still have him as your avatar says that you haven't given up.:good!:

Please tell me your joking...

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Man, talk about a downgrade

Probably is a downgrade in several ways..That's why I said Robison would be a GOOD pick up but not a great one like Dalton.:huh:

I don't dispute that! I miss TN.
