WETSU Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 He had nothing around him, and I do mean nothing. I think he is a good athlete, just not a QB.I played 2a ball and have followed 2a ball my entire life. I've literally seen one player win games with NO help. I'm talking 145 pound offensive lineman and fastest kid other than the stud runs a 4.8 lol. I'm not saying he should have won state, but it should be red flags when the next VY 5 star caliber guy can only lead his team to 1 win in a lower classification. A good qb can do wonders for a team that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB2point0 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 2a competition. And he went 1-9 his senior year it... He was a classic case of looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. At least so far. I think he was injured most of his sr season, may be the reason they went 1-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Looking at the QB talent that UT did not recruit or offer is upsetting. How could Mack Brown whiff so bad? Smh. In all fairness, anyone who saw Gilbert play in HS would tell you that he was an unbelievable talent. He just didn't pan out for Texas. Neither did Ash, who was another big talent coming out of hs.

Baron Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Gilbert was the number 1 national recruit if I recall correctly. Between Greg Davis and the DKR crowd booing him, really messed with the kid's mind. He was an incredible talent coming out of HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Between Greg Davis and the DKR crowd booing him, really messed with the kid's mind. He was an incredible talent coming out of HS. He did not have the "it" factor to overcome the lack of proper coaching/player development. Thankfully VY and Colt had that intangible. However, that intangible led to a false sense of security for the former UT staff leaving the program in shambles. Thankfully Strong is there to resurrect the program.

JustAFan11 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 @LQVasser: Just got off the phone with @Strong_TexasFB & it's official I've committed to University of Texas #HookEmHorns 🐂 JUCO DE decommitted from Georgia yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/12/four-star-cedar-hill-lb-richard-moore-decommits-from-texas-am.html/ Is this kid on the Texas radar? I know they need LBs, but have not heard anything about him. As for Vasser, so much needed depth on the DL. Everything I've read on Moore has him as a Baylor lean, but that's coming from Baylor people. Texas feels pretty good about Cherry flipping from Tennessee, which would put them at 3 LBs. They'd like to take 4 in this class with Jefferson being stop the wish list. They are getting a visit from former Michigan commit Darren Kirkland Jr. also!

WETSU Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Moore as been shaky since lodge decommitted. I think he's a Baylor lean all the way. Jefferson might be the biggest recruitment battle in a few years for Texas and A&M. Both need him desperately and both feel confident about getting him. It's gonna be interesting seeing where he commits to in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think he goes to A&M. He hasn't even scheduled an OV with Texas.It's all going to depend on the DC hire IMO. I feel very confident he ends up at A&M, but so do Texas people so I guess we will just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think he goes aggie or LSU. I don't see him in Texas. I am not sure the DC will be hired by the 16thHe will be. Sumlin has made it clear he wants to have a hire announced before December grads commit and before the dead period starts. I'll be surprised if one isn't hired by mid next week from what I'm hearing.

WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 you maybe right on that, but I don't think it will be Muschamp.I don't either. I think he ends up back at auburn where he is familiar. I know what he's said publicly, but i think Venables is the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Honestly have not kept up on it much but I thought he was out?He "says" he's out. But how many times have we heard that with coaches over the years lol. A&M side is still reporting he's very much in play, but they haven't officially offered until Muschamp gives them an answer.

Lobo97 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Would be interesting if Muschamp decided for A&M. After all, he did call college station the armpit of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Would be interesting if Muschamp decided for A&M. After all, he did call college station the armpit of Texas.He actually was asked about that just this week when his name came up there and he told a reporter on a phone interview he was directing that as a joke at Sumlin. Says the two actually have a decent relationship and he knew it would rile Sumlin up if he said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtownhorn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 UT will have one of the top ten recruiting classes. It's simple kids. Strong just booted 8-10 players. He has to replace them. UT will get 30 kids. If not more. "stars" do not matter. The hypewagon will be focused squarely on Austin. All that really matters? Recruit whoever star, develop them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 @Official_MalikJ: ATX this weekend #LetsRide 🐂 Looks like Jefferson will take his OV to Austin this weekend. I've heard a in home visit will be set up as well. This is big for Texas to finally get the young man on campus, with his decision coming 2 weeks later. Longhorns need to make a big push!

WETSU Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It would great to have him, but I have to wonder if the aggie decommit has anything to do with him going to aggie land? Not saying he is just wondering out loud. Adding him would really solidify the class I don't think the decommitments really had any bearing on Malik's decision. A&M is taking 2-3 more linebackers in this class. If the other kid had stuck only 2 but Malik was always in that 2 conversation and he was made away of that. Getting him to campus is a good deal for Texas. This one will be a dog fight these last two weeks. My gut tells me he wants to be an Aggie at heart, but doesn't trust they will improve defensively until he sees the DC hire. If Texas can bring him in and show him a good plan that gives him confidence in Charlie strong, it could sway him that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2point0 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm thinking sumlin has a hard time getting a top DC in college station. Muschamp is auburn bound and it looks like venables is staying put. Gibbs is the likely candidate and he is as much an unknown in big boy football as anybody.

Lhornfan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Malik's verbal could have a huge impact. If he doesn't choose A&M, I'm thinking Mack is gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still extremely close with the rest of the class and there are still plenty of really good defensive players committed. Malik committing would solidy him 100%, but I don't think losing him means it's a automatic loss of Mack. If Mack leaves I think it will be because of Bama not anything elseBama isn't even truly in this hunt... It's a A&M/LSU battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
