    Like Mack predicted, we would really start seeing the affects of the Rose Bowl with this class.

    With Chiles committing, I don't see Mallett coming, unless Chiles agrees to play WR. But I think Mallett is gonna wait a while before he committs. If McCoy or Snead turn out to be the real deal, I doubt he will come. 6-7 235!!?? That is ridiculously big for a QB.

    I wonder if Mack and co. are starting to look outside of Texas more, if anything, this is the year to do so.

    Au revoir monsieur Mallet.

    Bonjour monsieur Brantley.

    Several longhorn sites ( ;) ) are reporting that Mallet was given a short time frame to make a decision. This didn't sit well with the Mallet family. Look for an early commit from possible 5* John Brantley out a Florida.

    I'm not upset about maybe loosing him. We would have to completly revamp our offense for him. His reported 5.06 40time is not suited for the zone read we run.

    Thanks for the video, I have yet to see a single Shipley clip, I didn't even know what the guy looked like.

    A lot of the focus will be on the QBs this season, but it's really nice knowing he'll have one of the best OLs blocking for him and pretty good core of WRs to choose from (Sweed, Pittman, Cosby, Shipley). Not to mention Jamaal Charles.

    Looks like we've pretty much claimed all of the Texas boys. I wonder if Mack and co. are gonna go for some out of state prospects, history would say no, but this would be the year to really go for it.

    Is this going to cause a QB controversy with Chiles?

    Chiles was recruited as an athlete, so I assuming that means he'll be playing with WR or RB, maybe in the secondary.

    Most likely he'll play WR his first year. We've got some nice WR's but no game breaker/Roy Williams type. Chiles could be that guy. I'm sure mack gave the kid an honest assesment during his recruiting. He was told he was not gonna redshirt, that UT-Austin was recruiting 2 QB's for 07, and that he'll get his shot a qb first.

    Anyway here is some video on some 07 commits.

    -John Chiles ATH 6-1 195 4.4 - Mansfield, TX

    -Keenan Robinson LB 6-3 211 4.5 - Plano, TX
    http://64.237.99.126/clips/2007249.wmv

    -Malcolm Williams WR 6-3 205 4.4 - Garland, TX
    http://64.237.99.126/clips/2007274.wmv

    -Kyle Hix OL 6-6 290 - - Aledo, TX
    http://64.237.99.126/clips/2007BA021.wmv

    -Foswhitt Whittaker RB 5-9 170 4.4 - Pearland, TX
    http://64.237.99.126/clips/2007BA026.wmv

    -Earl Thomas ATH 5-10 174 4.4 - Orange, TX

    -Ben Wells DB 6-0 174 4.45 - Beaumont, TX
    http://64.237.99.126/clips/2007BA035.wmv

    -Curtis Brown CB 6-0 174 4.4 - Gilmer, TX

    -Matt Nader OL 6-6 295 5.13 - Austin, TX

    ...and very soon to be commiting....

    brantley's video is impressive. chiles was great too, but there werent too many throwing highlights.

    if you add richetti jones, tray allen, and creer who are all rumored to heavy texas leans, that would put us at 21 commits. throw in an OOS DT and/or DB prospect(s) we're going after and we're looking at a sick, sick, sick class. mack brown is the man.

    Like 007 said, Chiles can play multiple positions and w/ his 4.3 speed, he could be a very strong weapon at WR.

    Brantley is a big pickup for us. I guess that means we're out of the running for Mallett but Brantley is just fine to me.

    I can't believe Mack is almost already done w/ recruiting.

    This has been asked before but when does Rivals do their 07 player rankings?

    They weren't kdding when they said Chiles is an ATHLETE. :eek:

    He's like a Reggie Bush that can throw.

    Answering my own question here, but I thought it might be interesting to others.

    Looks like Mack and co. have been drawing interesting from some big name, out of state prospects:

    1. John Brantley is obviously the prize recruit. A potential 5-star QB from Florida who has already said he will redshirt.

    2. Zack Pianalto is a TE from Sprindale, AR. Don't know much about him but he's got good size (6-4 210lbs) who has decent speed at 4.65.

    We are interested in a DT from Detroit and a ATHLETE from alabama. Phelon Jones is the guy from Alabama who is supposedly holding 30 scholarship offers!!

    Future 5* OL Tray Allen says yes to UT-Austin.

    That's 19 commits total and it's only April.

    2 more offers left in the state of Texes before A&M and OU can slop up our leftovers.
