Hi guys, don't mean to be trolling. I just like to see what others are saying and promise to always be respectful on your board. Regarding the Freshmen starting for Texas here is the deal:
Bottom line is we have 12 to 15 TRUE Freshmen that are contributing significant minutes. There are 2 that are way ahead of schedule and those are DE Jackson Jeffcoat (thanks to his Dad's training and gene pool) and WR Mike Davis who was an LSU commit but once Texas offered he jumped at it thank goodness. The other true Freshmen that are making huge impacts are DE Reggie Wilson, LB Jordan Hicks (#1 player from Ohio last yr who we thankfully took from Buckeyes) and WR Darius White. Man, I wish I could include a RB in the conversation but thank goodness for us Malcolm Brown enters the picture next year.
Mack and the Texas program know this is somewhat of a rebuilding yr for us and according to many insiders, this past recruiting class may be the best ever to come into Texas. So to make a long story short, Mack wanted to feed these freshmen to the wolves to get them ready for the next 2 to 3 yrs. Rumor has it, once Gilbert graduates the reigns of the program are going to Def. Coord. Will Muschamp. Also, frankly, some of these Freshmen are so good that they surpassed many of the upperclassmen on the depth chart.
good insights. Thanks.
Just wish we could ALSO win tough games during our rebuilding years.
I hope this helps and hey, keep your heads up this season guys. Every top notch program like yourselves goes through cycles and I know for sure that we'll be playing a much better and experienced Cougar team in Austin next year.
Best wishes,

Good insights, thanks.
I just wish that we could win tough games during our rebuilding years like Texas did Saturday.
