WETSU Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'll bite. The prevailing theme by most pundits at the end of the Mack era was it had turned into a "country club." Whoever was hired was going to have to revamp the culture and mindset. I think Charlie succeeded is this area. I think Charlie succeeded in recruiting. Where Charlie did not succeed the most was in staffing. I think Charlie made a good hire at OC this past year, but it was too late. Needed that kind of offense from the get go. I think he rode the Bedford train too long as well as a DC. The man is obviously a good football coach. He got Louisville playing good ball. The defense was WAY better once he took over mid year. But he did not make good decisions around himself at critical positions and it bit him in the rear. His lack of success the first two years built up the pressure this year which resulted in losing 5 games by 1 possession. All I took from that is he was 16-21 at Texas. I can make excuses about every coach in the game that justify about as much as that just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2point0 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I always find it funny when a kid chooses Texas or A&M over Oklahoma to "stay close to home", but Norman is actually closer to their hometown than Austin or College Station. Or a Texas kid that wants to play in the sec goes to ole miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red90fly Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 247 now has K'Lavon Chaisson as the #11 recruit in the nation in the final rankings. Hope Texas can land him, taking his OV this weekend and just came off his LSU OV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Texas picks up a commit from FW All Saints DE Max Cummins. 6'5" 250 SPARQ 40 was 4.7 and shuttle was 4.1!! That shuttle is slightly faster than Malik. I believes he's a 2* prospect but has some good film and great agility with his size. Maybe a guy to stash away for a year or two and unleash him for a playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Texas is going to take about 20-21 commits, I was hoping it'd be about 17 or so with only 11 Srs. next year and save the spots for 2018 guys.

I was thinking 20. There will be more transfers I'm sure. We don't have to get to 85 until August so some guys may leave after spring if they don't like where they are on the depth chart.

Think 2 more commits gets Texas to 85 so yeah their is going to have to be some attrition, like all programs their is some dead weight on the roster so we will see. Also seems to always be a surprise transfer as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few of the current Freshmen players transfer out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2point0 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Henderson Lakendrick Vanzant is on Texas 's radar biggest competition is Baylor. Personally I expect Baylor but I wouldn't count out Texas and he currently committed to tcu. I'd love to see LV at Texas but they already have two RB committed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB2point0 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Played Defense was recruited to play defense at tcu. I hope he sticks with playing RB. On offense he's lightening in a bottle. Can take it to the house any play. Can't see anybody not wanting him on offense, at least returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me laugh cause Herman is recruiting out of state, I dont see what the big deal is. It's the dumbest thing a coach could complain about. Strong pulled 2 top 10 classes and had a total of 7 kids from out of state, not counting the Johnson brothers from Cali since they are legacies. This coach from SGP has his best recruit in years in Jeffery Okudah and he never really considered an in state school. Herman has already offered more OOS kids than Strong did in 3 years. Texas will be made up of mostly Texas kids but bringing in some OOS studs is okay as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like only a handful of coaches got their panties in a wad. I also think Wescott Eberts' articles seem to have a somewhat anti Herman vibe, in my opinion anyway.

Graham and lands Chaisson and the Juco ILB then it won't be that bad of a transition class. I just hope they don't to many commits and save some spots for 2018.

So, I hope they can keep Graham, land Chaisson & Johnson and sign Stephan Zabie, Javelin Guidry and Bryan Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Texas lands a commitment from #1 JUCO LB Gary Johnson! A huge pledge in a need position. I'm a little concerned that he won't be on campus until May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
