Is no longer taking an OV. That hurts. I thought he still would’ve made it out here for it.

just saw this as well.  that's crazy.  i've always liked kj edwards, and hope they go full bore to get him signed.

We’ll be okay. Not ONE recruit will halt the train that is texas right now. Sarks and staff have got this thing rolling. 

Chad Scott better get to work

If Baxter comes back and lights it up, they will all come calling.  

Damn not even a visit? Wonder what his beef is with Scott.

He has been on the job for day. Just chill 

No worries, it's still early enough to win these recruits back over. Remember what we thought about Baker when he first started and now look at him. These things just take time. I believe in what Sark is putting together so I'm sure we'll see some positive news come summertime

Guess Texas will have to fold the football program since a prospect isn’t visiting.

🤬

Breaking news, 17 year olds are emotional 

Bad news, but we all know Sark by now.  He will dig in harder.

My evaluation on JO:  top back...comparison?  Ashton Jeary or to go back much further, Emmitt Smith.  

I doubt Sark stops recruiting him.  

That sucks, I really liked what I saw on his HUDL. But with Sark and his staff it's a marathon, so there may still be a chance to get him on a visit during the season for a game.

I think this is sparking more than the usual worries bc we need an influx of elite talent in the RB room. We’ve been in a descending trajectory of talent at the position since Herman left Bijan and Rojo in that room. 

I'm not too worried, Sark won't give up on Javion. He'll help Chad until he can get acclimated to the postion at Texas.

Hope we can find a running back who wants to play for Texas.

Wrote this in my story this morning ...

One thing I'm not going to do is get caught up in the emotional swings of prospects in mid-February.

Think about what has happened in the last few days...

Tashard Choice leaves for the Detroit Lions. OTF 4-star++ running back Ezavier Crowell (Jackson, Ala./High) immediately announces on social media he is cancelling his June 6-8th OV. 

Sarkisian takes his time to make the hire he sees as the best fit. Hires Chad Scott. 

OTF 4-star++ running back Javian Osborne (Forney, Texas/High), or someone in his circle, announces via twitter at 5:26pm Friday that he will no longer make his official visit to Texas June 13-15th. 

And then less than five hours later at 10:09 pm Friday, Ezavier Crowell announces via twitter that he is now going to make his OV to Texas June 6-8th after a first conversation with new Texas running backs coach Chad Scott. 

Things will play out over time, but mid-February reaction to the emotional reactions by prospects and parents, I'm not going overboard reacting to as look at how fast things changed with Crowell. 

Agree with Gerry here, that said when coaches leave they take players with them or in this case we will lose some players in recruiting.

I don’t see a lot of overly emotional reactions to this news. It seems ,at least on OTF, fans have put their trust in sark and have given measured  responses to this news.

Fair IMO. More measured here.

I think Gerry was talking about fans at large overreacting to news like this at this juncture of the recruiting cycle.

I can see that. Generally, the sky is always falling at the slightest negative news at the university of Texas

I had a good chuckle at a username of Beard N Balls Bundle being the sensible and leveled voice in the room. Thank you for making my Saturday.

The Beard N Balls bundle is a level and sensible choice in and of itself
