Even if they weren't. If he plays football for 4-5 years and comes out with a PE degree, he is going to be just fine.
Offered yesterday....

Herman and the coaches have not had the time to recruit,next year will be a better example of what he can or cannot do.Texas is also limited in offers this year.
Nice first post.
Herman will do fine in recruiting. I don't think anyone expects Texas to have a highly rated class this year with the short time Herman has to recruit and it being a transition year. I think Herman will have no problem signing top 10 recruiting classes after this season.

Anyone disappointed with this recruiting class is out of touch with realistic expectations. Inherited 7 recruits (kept all of them), added one of the top RBs, one of the top jucos, and a group of players at positions of need (TE, ILB, K). On top of that, we have a great chance to sign a 4 star DE (Chaisson) and 4 star OT. We will likely finish with a top 25 class. Given the circumstances, you can't criticize Herman for that.
Add in the fact that we had limited schollies this year (compared to Charlie's 28 and 27 member classes) and you'll come to appreciate The Hermanator's results even more.
It would be more concerning if A&M was reaping the benefit of a down year. 9 of the top 10 going out of state won't be a trend. We win we get 5-6 of these guys next year. We still have 2 OLinemen we got from Baylor that redshirted last year. We'll be fine if we win. Go 6-6 next year, and it will be tougher. We need to at least get to 8 wins.
I know it's 2 years out, but as my family and I were leaving dinner I saw 2019 dual threat PNG QB Roschon Johnson sporting a Longhorn pullover with some of his teammates. He was offered last week and scored 56 TD's as a Sophomore. The kid is going to be special.
Cosmi is long and lean at this point. Likely a redshirt candidate. He is very fluid and seems to have some speed for a guy at 6'5-6'6. He has a great motor and a bit of a mean streak which is hard to teach. If he can add some mass and strength I could see him as a good depth option at G/T at worst and a potential impact starter at best.

***-star – 6-5/260 – #107 national position rank
In addition to football, Cosmi likes to rassel and is a member of Atascocita's varsity wrestling team. He has a penchant for choke-holds, so I'm not sure how that will translate to the field.

As you would hope from a kid that’s tackle height but still at DE weight, Cosmi is very light on his feet. He’d need to spend some quality time with McKnight but Cosmi has the athleticism and feet to play outside at tackle but also a nice ability to get low and drive people that could see him bump inside of tackle.
He moves well, but he is also pretty light in the britches... On top of that he is going to need to get much stronger in the weight room as there isn’t much finishing to speak of on his film. Doesn’t come from the lack of trying or effort, he’s just not strong enough yet. This is another case of where your offensive line coach better be worth his salt because I’m a little skittish of this take all things considered.

As a prospect, Cosmi is something of a blank slate in that he’s extremely lean — much like current star left tackle Connor Williams was out of high school — and will likely need several years to add the strength and mass that he’ll need to compete at the college level.
However... he’s athletic and moves extremely well and the strength and conditioning staff can mold him in Warehime’s vision. The quality of Cosmi’s feet and movement abilities should also help ensure that he’s a pure tackle and not someone who has to eventually move inside due to mobility issues in pass protection.

There is a silent verbal to the staff, we have at least one more to be named. 17 was the number I thought the class would end with, it looks more likely to be 18-20.
when they got to ohio state, herman and the staff that was there got some underachieving tall skinny kid that was a backup TE, moved him to tackle, put a bunch of weight on him, and turned him into a nfl draft pick in one offseason. i only know this bc i got urban meyer's latest book for Christmas and ready that anecdote last night. but it seems pertinent enough to the cosmi signing
DC3.....just so you will know.....I enjoy your football analysis a LOT more than I do your baseball HOF analysis
