Did you skip the dumptrucking they put on us in Madison in 2007? Or the way we handed them the game in 2005?

Since Alvarez's first Rose Bowl year (and excluding the RR years), we're 7-4 vs. Wisconsin, and five of those seven wins have been decided by 10 points or less. Saying they weren't a problem before RR is overstating things....significantly. PURDUE wasn't a problem before RR. Wisconsin has been one of the tougher games on the schedule for the better part of 20 years now.

Thats the truth. Texas has always been one of the best at putting a fence around their state and getting the guys they want. Mack Brown makes that one of his biggest priorities as a coach.

agreed

Have a question for everyone. Why haven't we offered Artavis Scott yet? He is crazy good and would fit perfectly into the slot. I have heard i think that the coaches are waiting to get his transcripts. I also saw that the coaches might recruit him on defense. I think that's a bad move considering how many elite DB that have interest and the huge class we are bringing in this year. Any thoughts would be appreciated, have a great weekend!!

Always

just wasn't sure if that was true or not

It was in a Tremendous interview.

Agreed so is his friend and teammate at the bbq. I thought I read somewhere that they were a package deal.

I agree, we're in on enough really good DBs that we may end up turning some away and we could use a slot-receiver in the 2014 class. Norfleet will get some time there but we don't have anyone from the 2013 class that projects there. Unless Jourdan Lewis ends up converting to offense for us. Definitely think we need to pursue Scott as a receiver as of now.

He's a 5-10 type receiver. Not sure we'd put a smaller receiver on the outside all that often. Admittedly, I'm not all that familiar with the specifics of the full Borges pro-style we'll be running in the future.

I've read that the coaches are telling the '14 kids its too early to commit. That they should take their time.

Some of the recruits have said they really like how the coaches are not pressuring them to commit and to take their time. So in sone cases I think the recruits are liking it and respecting how chill the coaches are.

I wouldn't be surprised if he told the 2013 recruits the same thing. There's a video on espn of Shane talking about the day he committed. While he didn't say that hoke told him not to commit yet, the way he described hoke's reaction certainly made it sound like hoke wasn't expecting one so early.
