you mean High school coaches having much influence as AAU coaches?
We are the Joneses - The Official Texas Longhorns Athletics Thread
- Thread starter satam55
- Start date
yeah i figured aau coaches control things seeing how all those a&m freshmen followed their aau coach to a&m when he got hired.
I lumped them all in one, but yeah I'm pretty sure AAU coaches have more influence since the kids are around them way more.
- Saturday's practice, the sixth of the spring, was thought to be a "scrimmage," but after speaking with a few people who were in attendance, it seems like it was more of a regular practice w/ some scrimmage-like team periods and maybe extra refs.
- It was a full-pads practice in the morning.
- Tyrone Swoopes took the reps with the ones in the team period. A source said he "seems like the starter." It's nothing new, just another person saying it. We're one practice away from spring ball being halfway-done and this sentiment from all directions hasn't changed.
- Shane Buechele did some nice things. Apparently he had a big passing-play with the second group that got some of the coaches and team pumped up. One person said Buechele and Swoopes were about even accuracy-wise but Swoopes' arm looks stronger.
- One person said of Jerrod Heard, "the ball's just still too wobbly" sometimes.
- The most important news of practice has to do with the OL. Starting LT Connor Williams returned to practice on Saturday. I'd mentioned in the War Room that OB was told both Williams and Tristan Nickelson would be back very soon, but the expectation was that they'd be back at some point next week. Nickelson also returned to practice on Saturday, but was held back from full participation. He still seems on pace to return sooner than later. These developments seem to show that neither of their injuries were more than small setbacks.
More reps for Locksley and/or Merrick.
Merrick is out for the rest of the spring with a bad back. Kai is a lost cause breh, let it go. If anything this means more reps for Shane if Heard misses any time.

I always assumed it was coinflip between the DFW Metroplex & Greater Houston Area. But after watching a bunch of highlights on YouTube from the last few years of Texas High School Football for the last week, I gotta go with the Metroplex. Metroplex has more starpower & more powerhouse programs.
