What Daniel Gresham's Decommitment Means For Texas

(h/t http://scoresportstalk.wordpress.com)

3-star RB Daniel Gresham has officially decommitted from Texas.  What does it mean for Mack Brown and company?  Not much.

- It's not like this was out of the blue.  When his friend, Demetrius Knox, decommitted and when the Longhorns offered a couple of other backs, it became apparent that Gresham was bound to decommit.  I'm sure Texas was ready for this.

- I think Hornsports.com put it best:

Gresham is a talented player but he is a fullback, not a running back.  He’s a package guy that won’t pull 30 carries a game and Texas might have saved themselves an opportunity here with his decommitment.  Not to devalue Gresham’s athleticism or skillset but there are now two scholarships open for running backs in the 2014 class.  Duke Catalon stands as the lone RB recruit in class and he will have company soon.  In fact Newton High School’s Kevin Shorter was on campus yesterday for a visit.

-  I guess if you really, really care about rankings, Texas no longer has the best class as LSU jumped them in 247Sports' rankings.
