Boom LB Donavan Mutin (Update: Signed)

We are in need of play makers at the linebacker position.

Hopefully this kid looks at the bigger picture and sees what weā€™re building and buys into that instead of seeing that we didnā€™t have our best season this year

Remember this CMA quote from last yearā€™s signing day:

We lose two starters at ILB so there is obviously an opportunity to take advantage of that and see playing time early

Well why the speculation? Has the kid said something about not signing?

Nevermind, I see that TCU and TT offered him after his visit with us. But what does Sellers say in tht VIP article? @ricmontano

Wish I knew but I donā€™t have VIP either. All I saw was he was offered by TCU and thought it was a bit worrisome. I feel like heā€™s one of our better commitments and I hope he sticks with the coogs.

24/7 has him as 100% TCU.

Unfortunate if true, but I want recruits that are fully committed- ā€œ10000% locked in!ā€ to quote Taj Brown.

A Tech beat writer and 2 TCU writers did the vote.

24/7 not trueā€¦I think Mutin views TCU and Tech as johnny come lately types who show up a week before signing after UH has been giving him the love since summertimeā€¦Rob has talked with him and Mutin and Taj Brown have been talking to each other. Brown came down hard for the Coogs and i think Mutin will do the same thing.

I see that now, no wonder.

I think a peer like Taj Brown coming out for UH and not visiting UT carries a lot of weight. I know it would me. Hopefully, Donavan will decide to join Taj. With Ed eating up two blockers every play, those guys will feast!

We do all the hard work and all I see is that tcu and tortilla tech want to pick our commits.

Best inside LB in Texasā€¦ and he is only a three star. Shows how the ratings arenā€™t unbiased.

Not sure if itā€™s bias or just people having different views on what makes a player good. Hereā€™s hoping he hasnā€™t peaked yet.

#4 on the list makes the All Name Team for sureā€¦Bumper Pool.

I have never read these guys before as I have never seen Mutin ranked as the top linebacker in the state. However, I am very glad he picked us over TCU and Techā€¦I know our coaches were real high on himā€¦he was listed as a three star most of the seasonā€¦no conspiracy hereā€¦

I will not be surprised if he is in the starting lineup by year-end.
