Did Texas change their recruiting strategy? Never see them in Florida.
Especially for a 3 star LOL
I guess their recent struggles called for something new. I do know they offered Duke which I thought was rare at time. Texas usually only left the state for cream of the crop.
I think Texas had a commitment from one of the QBs who eventually signed with UF. I don't remember which one. Was it Brantley?
EDIT: Yes, it was Brantley. Here's the paragraph from Brantley's wikipedia:
Recruiting process
After a trip to Austin to see the University of Texas, Brantley committed to the Longhorns. In a later interview with FloridaFB.com, Brantley reiterated his commitment to Texas, stating that he felt it was "a real special thing to be headed out there [Texas]."
The other schools on Brantley's shortlist included Alabama, Louisville, Oklahoma and Florida.[3]
In December 2006, Rivals.com reported that Brantley would de-commit from Texas to follow in the footsteps of his uncle at the University of Florida. He later signed his letter of intent, and enrolled in Gainesville in 2007.
