2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing
- Thread starter bbdude
- Start date
If you are good, the NFL will find you. It doesn't matter what conference or team you play with. Look at the rosters and see guys from even the shitbirdiest schools. If you are a beast any power 5 or even lesser conference school will get you drafted round 1.
The NCAA limit issue: If we over sign and go over the 85 limit.....
The problem Charlie will have is [ will some of these guys we have transfer ] They don't seem to care about winning, and per Brown and Diggs even sitting the bench probably wouldn't bother them. Can you pull their 'ship without a reason other than "they suck" ? If I'm at Texas with all its props (facilities, atmosphere, etc.), why would I want to transfer to Southeastern Poe Dunk U. if I don't have to ? I'll lift wts and work hard and sit the bench and get an education from THE University of Texas if I don't have a shot at the NFL ( which these guys don't )..... Why not ? Wouldn't you ? Think about it....

Brewster is from NJ and played at Illinois. His only experience in this state is the 3-4 years he was at Texas. Regardless he is a great recruiter and judging from Nick O'leary and the TEs at texas while he was here, a damn good TE coach.

Miller does seem to make good sense in terms of experience, ability, availability… and the relationship between Urban and Charlie.
But, echeese recently posted on the Conner Brewer Returning?? thread about another QB… Trent Hosick.
"Arizona Western JC- Hosick, a former Missouri quarterback (the Tigers do an excellent job evaluating that position) was committed to BYU before backing out and exploring his options a bit. We are in a dead period, so it’s hard for schools to reach out to him. Furthermore, he’s a mid-year transfer, so time is of the essence. So he will either end up sticking with BYU or heading to a mystery team that will be getting a heck of a dual-threat quarterback. He has three to play three."
I went to his HUDL video… http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4397492/highlights/180226386
- Impressive vision of the whole field
- Take charge presence
- Great feel for the pocket and pressure
- Quick release with a reasonably accurate arm
- Often pump fakes to draw defenders off
- Seems to be able to progress through different receiver options
- Very illusive
- Tough runner
Bottom line… the kid’s a playmaker… and can step in to compete right away.
Per Charlie Strong… “We got to get better on offense. There are no playmakers. You look at the quarterback position…â€

Some info on Johnson I posted earlier today
Gilbert Johnson, WR - (Homestead, FL)
Roughly the same height as Strickland but outweighs him (his height listed on 247 is incorrect I believe)
This is from IT --
How he fits at Texas: Johnson can really go up and get it and has great height and length for the position. He's pretty fluid and coordinated for a big receiver and has several absurdly acrobatic catches on his highlight reel. When he's playing at 210, he'll be a powerful menace similar to John Harris that could provide Texas a great possession receiver. - IB
Coach says: I like this kid. He's a big receiver who high-points the ball and goes and gets it at its highest point. Got some Larry Fitzgerald to his game. Seems to pluck the ball out of the air at times and went up and Moss’d a few DBs on tape. I like that he is able to break a tackle after the catch and is able to get some YAC. Not just a big receiver, he can do anything with the rock after he gets it. Get this kid qualified quickly.
How this affects Texas: The upside on Johnson is tremendous. Originally with the Class of 2014, Johnson signed with Georgia last February but couldn't qualify. The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher went the military school route and hopes to ink with a D-1 this signing period. Strong has gotten close Johnson, who won't decide until NSD. He's part of the Florida group looking to make Austin home next season. If he qualifies, he's a steal in every sense of the word. This kid is a talent. - JW

The Florida 5 is now complete. That was one hell of a recruiting job by CS and his staff.

The impact the Florida Five will have on this team will be huge. We will finally get to see what a team full of Texas and Florida talent will be able to do. Now if Charlie will just embrace the mobile QB concept, this team will be dominant in short order.
