The sooner we come to terms that Charlie is an average recruiter..

The irony that is you asking why another post cannot "just be happy" is richer than Johnny Manziel's parents

The irony of you asking Scary why he can't just be happy we landed a great prospect is just too delicious.
Are you kidding? I'm happier than I would be because of your constant haranguing over Charlie Strong's abilities in general and recruiting specifically, than I would be if he had only landed MJ and DM today. These comments of yours I only just saw this morning, and it turned my elation over these commitments into elation plus schadenfreude over you once again looking silly.
Anyway, one thing I'm relatively sure of is that you're happy about this. Hook'em!

To be fair, CS. You have a much larger body of work to judge from than Coach Strong at Texas. I think we are all happy about it, btw - and happy those of you who have been negative are now proven (at this point) wrong.
The unfortunately loud and large trove of immediate gratification folk on OB.....all beating up on CS.....it truly got boring. And, personally, I am willing to wait until spring and then fall to see how QB works out. We do have some possibilities. And coaches.
It is going to be fun to see how the recruiting plays out. And to see how the frosh do next year. And how the Juco and the mid term grads and red shirts do in the spring and fall. I am a happy man.
PS I have to say this (like a smartass history teacher). He who does not read history and understand its importance is doomed to repeat their mistakes. AND the history of UT in college football history is that we are #3 in wins. How many of you think that we will not return to that sort of winning way? The Ags have lots of traditions. We have some too. But our main tradition is that of winning. And I do not see us abandoning that tradition. Yea!! Hook'em!!!

Agree 100%. No need for name calling....that's for the youngsters....although I suspect some of it was in good fun. Also agree that OO ONE knew how this one was gonna go...which was why I watched from the sidelines and didn't venture a guess. If it causes a positive trickle down for us I'll eat a plate of crow with you!

Couple of things.
Dual Threat called it early and Often!!! So did Mr. Cosell.
Why is everybody thanking ESO? Sorry but this guy is not worthy of Praise today.

Eso has always been a quality poster here, but I was wondering about this also. I'm not doing any endzone dance here, but for weeks Eso was insisting Charlie had indeed screwed the pooch, employing generally poor recruiting tactics and failing to make daily contact with MJ. He was adamant that either both guys would go to Aggy, or MJ to aggy and Deandre to UCLA.
Yep, Eso was bashing Charlie's method of not catering to Malik. Providing us with his expertise.
But it's Malikmas, he knows Malik, so we've moved on.

I think I'll give this a little bump as well.
OP and others in this thread who I disdain far too much to call by even their screen names are the types of sorry, miserable assholes who got up and left (or more likely turned off the TV) at the 6:40 mark with Texas down 2 scores to USC.
Anyway, got another couple on my "ignore" list.

Yeah.. this is rich considering how miserable he has been for more than a decade. And to CS - WE ARE HAPPY.
From Mack;'s hate to his pronouncements on Colt McCoy to his "I know what is right and the rest of you are nothing" posts on more than one occasion he is the one poster on this board it is easy to dislike. And let's not forget his rant of the other day.

Despite the firsthand testimony of Chris Leak, many here just would not believe that Charlie is actually a great recruiter. As any dumbass would understand from the outset, however, it takes time to build relationships. Parents sense his sincerity when they meet him in person.
Give him time to build the machine and he's going to kill it here at Texas.

I had not read any of this thread untll just now. cest and Hornius remained positive and consistent. And to CS(the poster not the coach) Occam called and he wants his Razor back. However, he called it his "Least Hypothesis".
My oldest granddaughter texted me early this morning to say congrats that UT had just signed the Number 1 recruit, he goes to school with her. Negativity does not need to be shared immediately, if it really is negative, it will be later on, after a few facts have been gathered.
Just a thought.

The thing is, when haters are right, they say "see? I told you so!" When they are wrong, they say "I was never so happy to be wrong and will GLADLY eat my crow."
So the haters "win" either way.

Offensive line recruiting is a major crap shoot compared to other positions. In the 2013 NFL draft 6 of the first 8 OL taken were 3 stars or below. Two of them were high school quarterbacks.
We have so many fans that would rather say I told you so than just be passionate and hope for the best. It's just nice to see coach strong to continue to actually build this thing brick by brick through actions and not some silly phrase.
Also, Strong is awkward as hell when he has to give public speeches. It cracks me up because he really doesn't fit in and stumbles over words, but he will get better. Like at the end of a speech, he'll say "let's go hook em" super awkward. Glad he is our coach and not our CEO.
