Santos switches to Texas

Why would you want to go to a school that failed to recruit you all year until the last minute. Sounds like his dad is the one that wanted the horns offer the most. Another example of no class committment. I know we have benefitted from some that switch their committment but I am one that would support an early signing period. If your confident enough to commit then sign on the line.

Well good luck to the santos kid and that makes room for us to bring in a kid that wants to wear the real orange and the way our staff is working the recruiting trail i would bet they got a surprise up their sleeve becuase CDD is smart enough to know not to be prepared for this kid to turn yellow and back out.GO VOLS!!!

I just hope for Santos' sake, he doesn't have to sit on the sideline in the next year or two and watch us beat the crap out of them in a bowl game.

The reality is this guy is not in shape. He will need two years in the strength and conditioning program before he
can begin to compete in the SEC. I am not sure why everybody gets into all of this drama about Santos. Who cares.
Good luck to him at Texas. I have heard people on different sites try to compare him to Al Wilson. Are you kidding me?
We have plenty of leaders on this football team people. We need speed,speed and more speed. Peters fits this
mode perfectly. Santos could not cover a cheerleader in pass coverage. He is actually more suited for Big Ten football.

This is the same thing that happened to Jermaine Copeland (LSU). Late love, not giving him enough time to figure out they're gettting him for FB.

Hey, docholiday.
If you log out and log back in again the 34_ should be gone from your username. Think I fixed it last week.
Thanks for signing up and posting!

Had a good run with Santos, but he is now history . . .

Can't hang our heads on this loss. This recruiting class still is in great shape. UT is back on the rise!

I hope he stays healthy and has a wonderful career. He'll be playing in the big swelf. They play big during the regular season against a bunch of no name teams and then get pounded during bowl season. Open offense, he'll be tired by the 2nd quarter. Too bad, he was built for the SEC. Thick, rugged and tough.
