He is unbelievable; I'm in the Metroplex and seen him a couple times. Will he play defensive end or tight end or both for Texas?
We don't utilize athletic TEs. He would be wasting his time there.
In other news, everyone but Ibraheem has signed. 17th ranked class in the nation. Very impressive Tom...
Well all the commits have signed. Hopefully II is cleared and he'll sign in February. No word yet on LJ Johnson, Q Davis, Barryn Sorrell, and Keithron Lee.
You know maybe next year we can put Jared Wiley who's 6'7" and Malcolm Epps who's 6'6" on the field at the same time like ISU does with theirs. We use like ISU does with theirs we can have success. Key word of course being if.
This recruiting year was just such a disappointment.

And just about every successful NFL offense, smh.
Well as for now it appears that we are through with today. The question is what if anything will happen between now and Friday.
I am experiencing a lot of anger when I see that Texas has signed just 3 out of the top 40 kids in the state of Texas.
OU has 6. Aggies have lot more.
It freaking infuriates me.
I would really like to believe that the kids that have signed are diamonds in the rough and will outperform higher ranked recruits. But, history does not help me delude myself.
22 its shaping up to be even worse.
Are we entering a new age of Texas football where we are more like ISU, OSU, Bay, TCU or KSU where we will pile up lower ranked recruits and be OK with our share of wins when they come.
Are we resigning to staying in this new era of complacency and mediocrity?

LJ Johnson has pushed his commitment back until January. I really think is giving Texas EVERY opportunity, but I think he really wanted to see what the coaching situation was going to look like. This one is tough to call between A&M and Texas. What is the word over here? Texags brass seems to think it's a lean A&M's way. What are you guys hearing?
Unfortunately, I think we’ve been here quite a while Hookem. While we were full of optimism for each new HC, OC, DC....we’ve been consistently mired in mediocrity. And next year isn’t shaping up to be any different. So there’s another year....
No, Texas recruits fine when things aren't such a mess. Right now there is no stability and recruits are hesitant to come to a school when they don't know who will be coaching the next year. The ones that do come are committed to UT and not the coach. Need some coaching stability before recruiting will pick up. I don't think Herman will ever have that again at Texas because every time he loses a game the firing rumors will start swirling. They need to move on from Herman.
Recruits know Herman isn’t likely to be here next year, and probably don’t like Herman much anyway. Doesn’t seem like many people do.
the urban rumors aren’t going to go away Texas will make another run at him next year I can almost guarantee that, and there is probably a 75-80% chance someone else is coaching Texas in 2021
al that impacts recruiting. Hell I don’t think it’s a lock Herman is on the sidelines next year if I’m CDC I think about firing him after the South Carolina stuff came out.

50/50, but I'm not sure why on earth he would choose Texas. I mean the depth chart isn't stacked or anything, so he'd probably play quite a bit early.
What is the depth chart for tamu?
Surely CDC is investigating that report. And if true, how can you keep this clown any longer?
Can't say I blame Herman in this case. He has the AD and BMDs actively looking for his replacement and seemingly no support from the AD. I'd probably send feelers out instead of sitting around waiting to get fired as well.
We probably should clairify, I know for a fact Herman wouldn't make that call, the call was made by his agent. Thus zero deniability in all of this.
Oh I’m not saying he shouldn’t of been looking. But you do it in a way where it’s quite(agents and what not). Sounds like he did it rather openly it sounds like
I think we ought to call South Carolina and beg em to take him....maybe toss em 2 or 3 million to do it. That would save us 15 million.
To be honest I really don't know. He would be a boost to our recruiting class.
Ok I have a question for you. There's a kid from Bryan named Keithron Lee he's a receiver. From what I've read he's a high 3*. Although he's from Bryan A&M is not in the picture. I hear we have a good chance with him. Do you know what goes on with kids from Bryan and the surrounding area?
Well the kid from New Orleans Barryn Sorrell has signed. He's a de/lb decommitted from Northwestern so he must be smart. I wonder if the other recruit from NO recruited him. Hey welcome to Austin.
No disrespect to Sorrell, but we beat Kansas, Missouri, Arizona St and lesser schools for his pledge. Ole MIss and Tenn did not even offer him. And no other SEC schools even showed an interest. Add to this an inability to coach up these kids and this is a player I project will not produce much at UT.
This recruiting is a disaster for a school with UT's history. Sad day on the 40.
This has got to be the worst recruiting season for us in the past 20 years. Just pathetic.
If we're going to be bad, why not just blow it up and rebuild. Fire Herman and bring in an unknown coach that has a chance to be great. Give the guy 4 years to turn it around and establish something. Someone that knows Texas recruiting and is an excellent communicator. That's how Clemson found lightning in a bottle years ago with Dabo Swinney. He was a relatively obscure assistant when he was hired.
I'm thinking a guy like Jeff Traylor at UTSA. He's an excellent recruiter and I've heard that he's a very engaging coach that many believe will be a big time coach in the future. He's familiar with our program since he was part of Charlie Strong's staff for a short while. Sure, we will struggle for 2-3 years but no matter who you bring in it will take at least 2-3 years to get us back to being relevant again. Just my .02

Coach Traylor is a good coach but if we’re gonna go with relatively up and comer there are better options. Traylor had what 7 games under his belt has a HC?
Not sure I’d classify one 7-4 season a “miracle”. Again Traylor may be a big time coach some day. I don’t dispute that, but man Texas hiring him right now over other “mid major coach” with more experience under their belt would be a massive risk
Hell, this year Deion Sanders probably had a better recruiting class than us at Jackson St. If he's successful there, why not give him a look. He would be an instant magnet for Texas recruits.. He's probably very familiar with Texas recruiting having lived here the past 20-30 years. He's also still well connected in NFL circles as well. We need to be open to just about any option considering where our program is at right now.
I think it was Ole Miss(may not be the right school) their AD said he interviewed him last year for their job and thought he was really impressive. Just thought going from not coaching ever to the SEC was too big a leap to take. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does land a power 5 job at some point.
Can you blame the guy in the face of the public pursuit of his replacement? Don't think much of TH, but he was putting out feelers only because of the ridiculous situation CDC created.
