2015 Recruiting Thread

I prefer the young guns over Haines.

Stop that, Haines is good, he led the team in INT's , he also comes down well on read option stuff

Haines is good, but he's not that good. He is a fair tackler. Half of his interceptions were because he was out of position or just in the right place at the right time. He wouldn't be starting if we had a decent safety. As long as he is out there, Texas will need to recruit better safeties.

Let's get them all....OKAY....Hook'em

Quite possibly. 

There has been some talk of beefing up Hall 15 pounds and spinning him down to LB

He is currently listed as the same size as Anthony Wheeler (6'2,209)

He is a pretty good tackler, moves well.  And doesnt it seem like he is always looking for the chance to knock the holy crap out of someone?

I'm pretty sure that's a typo on Wheeler. He was 220 in HS. I'd think he's at least 225 by now.

Sounds like Southall (ou) will not OV to Austin

EJ Holland is at the UA Game.

He says Jordan Elliott's name comes up despite the fact he is not playing.  Holland's sources say still a chance Elliott could sign with a team not named Michigan.

Also, McCulloch and DJax communicate with Elliott "frequently."

Holland also said he polled some players about their "biggest concern about Texas."  They all said it was "how this past season went. However, they were quick to say that they fully believed in the program under Strong and weren’t worried at all about his job security."

If Elliott flipped to us, would it be logical to count him as a commit? lol  Or would we need to time this so we're the last chick he dates when the music stops? lol

Nail....head
Can't we just tell him we're pregnant and he is the father.

TCU offered Darius Anderson -- the running back --

Who are the main aggie commits we could flip? Surely they are looking around.

Quartney Davis

Sweet really hope we can flip Jackson or Madubuike we need an impact DE for next year.

No you. 

The only thing that would have made next year better was if he was graduating.  Sometimes I wonder if Duke and Dylan have an ongoing season long competition for who can beat the most through blown coverage.

The most likely of that group is Smith (a need position for us).

Davis is a possible especially if Humphrey picks Cal.

Jackson said he didnt have a great feel from the UT campus his first visit, but is coming again to give it another chance.

Madubuike is the biggest fish but people say he is tight with the Chief.  Hopefully we can talk him into a visit

 

[Juan]

Looks like they have finalized the announcement list for the game

I think they may put a limit on it of 5 total announcements?

FWIW, Coach Strong is now following DT Jordan Elliot, DT Chris Daniels and Chris Daniels' dad on Twitter.

That's a Houston thing - not a 'Hook 'em'.
