I don't know that he's our first take, but he's definitely a second take. Barlow-Brown wouldn't be a bad RB class.
Something's fishy with that whole deal. A coach who's dumb enough to step out of line with a recruit is not going to be on Herman's staff IMO. My very random guess is Wilson doesn't want to come to Texas for other reasons, like an urge to explore new places or things, and is using some small perceived slight as an excuse to not face people in his life telling him to stay home.
Some here have mentioned that Mehringer burned some bridges with Wilson. I am not impressed with him and I think he's been a bit lucky with all thr WR talent in the state the last couple of years. I saw that Beck is now heading up Higgins' recruitment, so who knows maybe a change may be in store if he can't close the deal on top flight guys. Giles isn't the greatest recruiter, but he coaches them up with the best out there, so he gets a pass. Mehringet better do likewise, imho
Yep, it sounds fishy to me also. I have a hard time believing that coaches would be that stupid or that Herman would even put up with it. I think a lot of what you are reading about the Wilson situation is embellishment and/or fantasy.
Serious question here.
I don’t want to call the man stupid, but from what we’ve been told the recruitment was mishandled and that is probably being polite. Beck taking over the lead with Higgins is also very telling IMO.
I get that it was botched, but aggy, sheesh. Their QBs are terrible. I can see him going somewhere with a good QB though. Just not aggy.
We are getting ahead of ourselves anyway. There’s a real chance that OSU does the wrong thing and retains Meyer after all of this mess.
I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if he was replaced in the offseason. Especially if a name like David Beaty hit the market.
