I don't. I assume that Coach Kennedy and Connor Wood know who the good guys who can play are from that offense. So if they want a UT transfer, I'm trusting them.

I don't think it's a huge stretch to think that the guys Texas has recruited over the past years are quite likely more talented and better players than the ones Hawkins recruited.

Any insight into how the visit went?
Nothing so far but has said he wants to visit other schools but wouldn't say which. He's supposedly really good friends with Wood and has a good relationship with Kennedy so that works in our favor.
EB is going to need to fix his running style but he's got all the measurables and a year being coached by EB will do him wonders if he buys into it.

I believe this was also the knock on our Heisman trophy winning running back. :lol:
That and his love of weed.

Right! :lol:
I always thought it was lame that he blamed his bad play on that. Over half the league smokes. Come on man! :lol:
I was thinking that. He's got good size and would have elite speed at the LB position. Just not sure how open he would be with a pos change.
We're not bringing in a RB transfer who was one of the top rated guys in his recruiting class just so we can try to convert him to LB. The main reason he's leaving UT is the logjam they had at RB that was keeping Shead off the field except for special teams. Our main worry here should be whether he decides to stay close to home, possibly at a 1-AA program, so he doesn't have to sit out a year and can star at RB in 2012.
We are in good shape, though. But please end the LB talk. Not happening.

:nod:, I'll take anyone we can get at those positions.
Absolutely.
It's still not certain whether he would have to sit out the 2012 season. It's likely he would, but there's still talk that he might be able to play all 3 years that he's here. Let's hope.

Why is that? Some special circumstance?
Honestly, I don't know how it would be possible. According to the game log on UT's official site, Shead played as recently as the Nov 5th game against Texas Tech.
Anxiously waiting to hear something.

I don't think before I post
I wonder if he is waiting to see if we get a commit from Wes or Chris Brown before pulling the trigger. I see alot of these guys who transfer out go to smaller schools where they will be guaranteed playing time right away with less competition. I'm not saying that is the case but it tends to happen frequently. I would probably do the same thing after being the man for four years of my high school career and then sitting on the bench for two in UT. I would want to make my last years count and guarantee me a chance to play and get some stats.
according to AZ a couple days ago, he had a death in the family and the staff is giving him some space. not sure when we'll hear anything.

For an athlete they can usually squeeze them in on the first day of classes.
