Spring football is behind us, but the Charlie Strong recruiting machine moves forward unhindered by conventional deadlines. Texas gets four Baylor refugees as the baptists' football program crumbles to ashes, moving this Texas recruiting class ranking up to number seven nationally. Phenomenal haul for Charlie.
New additions:
WR Devin Duvernay **** - number three-rated receiver in Texas (Sachse). Runs a 10.27 100. Makes the Longhorn FR/SO receiving corps of Burt/Johnson/Duvernay/Foreman/Curtis/Joe/Newsome look pretty hard for Big 12 DBs to contain. He's also Kyler Murray's cousin, giving it a nice aggy twist.
OT JP Urquidez **** - 6'5", 300. Number 22 rated OT nationally (Copperas Cove). Huge add to the offensive tackle position as we were pretty thin there.
OG Patrick Hudson **** - 6'5", 325. Number one- or two-rated OG nationally (Silsbee). Major coup for Charlie, as Hudson chooses Texas over the land thieves and aggy.
ATH Donovan Duvernay *** - Devin's brother. Package deal. No idea if he'll contribute or not, but getting his brother makes it worth it.
There has been noise about RB Kam Martin and CB Parrish Cobb also signing with Texas, but probably more smoke than fire there given the depth we have at those positions right now.
So Charlie now has:
Hook 'em.

So Charlie now has:
- three years of his recruiting classes
- an offensive staff installing and running a pinball scoring machine offense
- a QB in Buechele who appears to be capable of running said offense
- a pair of brutes at RB in Foreman and Warren
- a real TE for the first time in almost forever
- the biggest and fastest young WR crew in the conference
- a stacked offensive line with talent and depth (finally)
- a massive talent infusion at DL (but not a lot of depth there)
- probably the best underclassmen LBs in the country
- tremendous underclassmen talent and depth at DB
Hook 'em.
