ESPN: Texas Boasts Best Early Recruiting Haul for 2009

the1austin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 15:03:01 -0000

Here's a good look at how the national media is viewing Mack's stellar 2009 recruiting class. Per ESPN's Tom Luginbill: "What else is new? If ever there was a proponent for an early signing period, it would be Mack Brown's Texas program. Most importantly, it has hit the marks at quarterback in Garrett Gilbert (Austin, Texas/Lake Travis) and on the offensive line. Cornerback Marcus Davis (League City, Texas/Cleer Creek) is very talented and physical. Why no one is talking about TE Barrett Matthews (Houston/North Shore), we have no idea. If RB Chris Whaley (Madisonville, Texas) pans out, then Texas may have filled its running back need, but we feel Whaley could still end up at another position."

Chicago Tribune Gets First Picture of Ced's Boat Party

The Chicago Tribune has yet another account of what really happened on Cedric Benson's boat at Devil's Cove. That's Ced on the left, and his mom is in the middle of the group in the front. The article has some accounts from those on board and others on the lake that generally agree with Benson's story.

The Big Lead also has a discussion on the emergence of the picture, which seems to focus mostly on "Who's the girl in the white?"
