I'm glad the kid finally made a choice. And appears to be a good one. UT recruited him to be an athlete and I think he will be a great pickup at corner for them.

I keep reading slot receiver/safety/special teams.

He's got the skills for any of those. I don't quite see him at safety myself, but more to a corner. But I'm sure they have discussed all of this with him. Just congratulations to Kevin and on to playing his senior year for the purple and white.

UT's last push looks like it paid off. When we taped our preview a couple weeks ago he was wearing an A&M undershirt and told me that's where he was going. Congrats to Shorter, wish him the best.

He had the same shirt on last night before the scrimmage with Silsbee.  :D

Larry Porter , Texas Running back coach was recruiting him to play RB .. that told him he would be a big part of the offense in the future .
[/quote]That's interesting, he's the third running back to commit in UT's class and I know they already have 5 offers out to the loaded class of 2015 backs. I thought they were recruiting him as a safety. Good luck to him.

I really think he is best running back in the state , all divisions .. He shines on far less carries only question is the completion he is facing, plus starts on defense and has played both ways on varsity since his freshman year so it's clear he can stay healthy, only injury was a high ankle sprain soph year missed 3Gms
Year.  Car Yds Avg Lng TD

[/quote]Those are good numbers but I would argue that Austin Walter's 1976 on 196 carries is more impressive considering the competition. He's not far behind the career totals too and has only played two varsity seasons. I hope he does well but backs from the smaller classifications have struggled on the 40 acres. I remember Traylon Shead from Cayuga rushing for about 10,000 yards in high school and he had the THSF all-time TD record when he left. I don't think he ever got a carry at UT and is now at SMU. He was already over 200lbs in high school and benching 400 but I think the football stats came from competition more than anything else. According to UT's website Shorter is coming in as an ''athlete'' so maybe they have plans to try him at a couple different positions?

I agree somewhat. Level of competition between 2A and 5A is vast and jumping from 2A to  FBS will be a whole new world. Although the running backs coach(at Texas) did present him as a running back and what he could do for them out of the backfield, we'll have to wait and see where and how well he plays. I wish him well.

      He's steadily improving rapidly. Not that your opinion matters much based on some of the wild projections you've made on this site

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.
