As the mass exodus ensues with Quinn Ewers, Phaizon Wilson and Billy Bowman decommitting, there are a lot of uneasy feelings in Austin. Couple that with the recent transfer decision of Kenyatta Watson II and Byron Vaughns, there is a growing issue in Texas. Not everyone is hating what is going on. The Oklahoma Sooner fans have now entered the chat.
One such fan has started a petition for the Longhorns to in fact keep Tom Herman around despite his scorching hot seat. They are watching these players bail from their bitter rivals, even lining themselves up to land one of them in Bowman. So I guess you could say not everyone is unhappy these days.
Any time you see a rival team deal with any adversity, it is hard not to take some pleasure in it. The Longhorns have seen their fair share this season with the losses to Texas Christian and Oklahoma. Not to mention they struggled with Texas Tech early on in Big 12 play.
With Ewers now heading to Ohio State in all likelihood, it is fair to think he is going to take some top targets with him. Two that immediately come to mind are Caleb Burton, who is already trending with the Buckeyes, and Domani Jackson.
Not much of sunshine and daffodils in Austin right now but hopefully there is like at the end of the tunnel.
