Mike Roach, how are you doing today, man?

Good, Bobby.

It's that really busy week headed up to signing day, so it's been busy for me.

I bet.

So we're officially T-minus one week today, I believe, right?

Yeah, one week from today, we will be locked in on signing day and seeing how many of these kids are going to sign early.

Yeah, so Texas has, with the decommitment recently of Ty Jordan, what is Texas at now from a commitment?

That would put them at 16, I believe.

Okay, so 16.

And they're hopeful to sign 16 or 17 on next Wednesday or beginning next Wednesday.

Is that correct?

Yeah, I talked to a source this weekend that said Texas expects to sign most, if not all, of their class early.

Now, I've talked to a lot of kids who told me they plan to sign early, but, you know, I'm interested to see how many actually follow through on that if they don't know who their coach is going to be going forward.

I just think that that's a really big hurdle either way to not have an offensive or defensive coordinator.
