Interesting decommitment - washingtonismoney - 12-12-2012
You may remember Durham Smythe, a Texan TE who committed to Texas over Stanford back in the spring. Well, he's decided to decommit...today-ish, I guess.

Nothing concrete as to what other alternatives he's considering, but there's at least some possibility we're in this thing. (Along with a certain advanced irritant located in Indiana...)
Smythe's a highly-rated guy -- four-star on 247 and ESPN, high three-star on Rivals and Scout. Offers from just about everyone in his region plus that Indiana school, and, well, us.

(I love the Horns, but I think they need to blow it up and start over again.)
Supposedly looking at Notre Dame. While we already have two TE in our class, is that a big deal?

I'm terrible at tilting things. Copy editors have only made the dependence more insidious.
Anyway-- Cotton is the only for-sure TE. Taboada can play either OLB or TE (and I believe most schools recruiting him preferred him on defense). So I'm sure we could make room if interested.

I once questioned a set of coaches for signing 4 highly evaluated TEs in one class. Then Jordan Najvar transferred, and Zach Ertz, Levine Toilolo and Ryan Hewitt turned out to find plenty of playing time. If the coaches believe in Smythe, and he wants to join the fun here (and passes admissions, of course) then bring him on!

I never gave up hope on him, especially since once in a while he liked some of coach Sanford's tweets about Stanford.
