Sooners, Horned Frogs came after Tech offensive line signee 02/06/13 - 11:26am

I watched some videotape last week of Texas Tech recruit Cody Hayes, a 6-foot-6, 260-pound offensive lineman from Fort Worth Eastern Hills and came away thinking he could be the sleeper of the Red Raiders’ class. On the video, he looked athletic, rangy, aggressive, everything you want. Co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie said Tech coaches loved Hayes when he came to their satellite camp last June inLancaster. He committed in the summer, but sure enough, other schools tried to steal him away at the end.

Rodgers to host recruiting workshop at Texas Tech 02/04/13 - 1:34am

Former college football coach Randy Rodgers will host a recruiting workshop at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Texas Tech football building for current high school juniors and sophomores and their parents. The program is designed to educate underclassmen about the recruiting process. There is no charge. Each player is asked to bring a 25- to 30-play highlight tape, plus a tape of his best single game or two. Prospects will have their pictures made, their height and weight measured and fill out paperwork. There is no physical workout.

Fab 44: Quarterbacks in demand 02/03/13 - 1:59am

Could this year's crop of blue chips include the next RGIII or Johnny Football?

Each of the last two years, college football’s Heisman Trophy winner was a guy who grew up as a Texas high school quarterback. Robert Griffin III and Johnny Manziel excelled to such a degree that aliases — RGIII and Johnny Football — came to suffice for their real names. What Griffin pulled off coming out of Baylor and what Manziel achieved as a Texas A&M freshman shows how the state’s star has risen as a developmental ground for players at their position.
