2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

[Juan]

I'm really curious about what happened these last two days. We went from NSD winners to nothing to be excited about. Crazy. I'm officially exhausted from all this recruiting season. I'm never going to get this invested in the process again

I know what you mean, but we did lose our last two games of the season by a combined score of 79-17.  Ugh,

So, pulling a top 10 class in light of that has to be somewhat exciting yes?  It should be.

We filled almost all needs, with talent.

-- a complete starting unit for the defense (tailored for this conference)

-- 6 OLs, including 4 EEs, two of whom are plug-n-play JUCOs

-- a 4-star dual threat QB

-- a LB class for the ages (including #1 ranked player in state)

-- serious talent at WR

-- a big TE who can catch and scoot!!!

-- best RB in the state - Chris Warren (I think/hope)

Instead of wondering what the class would have looked like with Murray and Mack, perhaps its better to ask what would the class look like without Malik Jefferson.

I won't discuss what, but some things entered the picture and he changed his mind from Texas.  To whom he was 80% committed.

There is still a remote chance he will have a change of heart - but it looks grim.

That's just the way it is out west.  Moving on.

Ahhh...the bagman found his way to Gladewater.

Pretty scary thought, top 20 I guess. I was wondering the same thing.

And the flip side is ags would have cleaned shop (if it really was due to Chavis coming late). This year, I don't know anymore. Maybe Malik really wanted to come to UT and hence his "shock the nation".

Thats Cecil, Malik, and Boyd who have all reached out to PJ Locke.  Lets keep that Beaumont kid in Texas...

well tomorrow will be in the books for 2015 Recruiting season ...and to think this is a rebuilding year for UT...on the flip side of it

I'm excited  about this class with what the Horns have currently (committed) coming:

1. Have an excellent set of LBs;

2. Dynamic secondary (3 solid CBs and 1 underrated S);

3. 6 OL for Wickline to work with (one will probably be a starter next year in Hodges);

4. RB depth in Houston (possibly K. Johnson, but I see him as more a Daje type back or a S);

5. Potential starter at DE in Vasser and two development DEs in Charles O and Hager;

6. A QB that can compete right now;

7. A high quality TE in Clarington (haven't had one in a while);

8. Two big, physical WRs in Burt and Johnson;

9. One physical ATH in McNeal that can play a WR spot or eventually move to the H-Back position;

10. A developmental QB in Merrick; and

11. a DT in Lamkin that might see the field this year due to depth (would've liked one more for depth)

Even if the Horns just add Warren tomorrow, that's a good to potentially great class to build from.  So yeah, I'm excited about this class

and dont forget Locksley flipped his committment to UT yesterday

So with Mack and Soso out, who is left tomorrow besides Warren?

I feel bad for selling Malik a little short on that.  He was #1 nationally at his position

Dang you Mr. Grande.  it took some time to type up mine and you just pop yours out.  I guess we were thinking along the same lines at least.  I just can't compete with your speed.  Plus my wife keeps interrupting me. I bow down to the Grande.

 

[86MEHorn]

I'm just curious what happened to the 18 recruits fighting for 9 spots, if I recall something from Higdon. Did we believe we were too tight and potentially turned some away? With my tin hat on, were we trolled by a couple of these blue chippers?

I know Strong hates to lose, whether games or recruiting battles. if it got dirty at the end, I hope he goes scorched earth on some HS coaches.

I think I need another cup of decaf.

 

[dmanderson21]

The class looks great on paper with or without Mack. And I like the cut of the jibs of Cecil, Charles O, Kai, Malik, etc. who are so pro-Longhorn that they're already getting the fan base excited about what CFS is building without stepping foot on a field. We've been searching for true leaders since Colt left and it sure seems like this new crop of recruits wants to come in and hit the ground running in that department. If their work ethic backs up the talk (and I think it will), this class will be the foundation of something special. 

We need depth at almost every position and it's not going to be accomplished in one recruiting class, but the attitude from this year's crop is the kind that we should all be excited to see.

that was my #6

1. Have an excellent set of LBs;

4 LBs -- Townsend is a 4-star too --  http://247sports.com/Player/Cameron-Townsend-19333?Institution=24857

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

So with Mack and Soso out, who is left tomorrow besides Warren?

Possibly DeAndre Baker.

Marcus Lewis is an option though its doubtful he'd commit to Texas tomorrow.

Wonderful post!

3. 5 OL for Wickline to work with (one will probably be a starter next year in Hodges);

6 unless you are already excluding Major?

btw, HS sources say he makes it
