As the Texas Longhorns continue to target Lewisville consensus five-star prospect Michael Fasusi as Kyle Flood’s top target along the offensive line, head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff are trying to make a late surge with Mesquite Horn offensive tackle Lamont Rogers to add an elite prospect to the class ahead of Fasusi’s decision.

The Schlossnagle coup by the Longhorns, as it turns out, wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. What was portrayed to be a seismic shift by Texas fans looks now as though it was only momentarily destabilizing for Texas A&M baseball. Texas thought they were essentially vivisecting a program that had completely passed them by; after all, the Aggies ended Texas’s season two out of the last three years, and now the Longhorns thought they were getting the coach that was primarily responsible for that level of play.
