2022 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Eastexhorn]

There are at least two WR still out there that we're after that we will not say no to.

Will ponder on this and reply after game.

TE Jaleel Skinner told 247 he is trying to get to Austin in September with his family.

He has already used an official visit to Texas.

Game over overall Horns looked good.

14 DBS at a 5 man position, 14 WRS at a 3 man position not a winning roster IMO 

Come Dec. we will see. Beat thepigs.

You have to think there's at least two spots for OL remaining. At least one DB. And two WRs?

I’ll bet you after this season the staff will evaluate for dead weight and those that have no future will be told so.

Just where is the dead weight?Other than two OL who has not reached thier potential who left other than young players who have not had a chance.

Pretty much every recruiting class ends up with some dead weight in it.

Agree one reason to recruit bigger numbers of OL, not all will playup to expections

I’m sure this staff will find some by the end of season.  I wasn’t specifically saying I’ve identified any, but I’d venture to say every roster in America has a couple that will never contribute in their 3 or 4 years.

Okay, let's  review. Since 216 to 2021: we have had 23 recruits. 3 retired due to injuries, 3 transferred out. 2 have moved on due time years  or having enough time on the 40 acres. Just talking about OL men BTW.  3 retired due to injuries and 3 transferred out. Only 2 years of taking 2 OL, both 2017 and 2021. Both coaching coaches. Otherwise, we have taken 4- 6 OL. Plus we had 2 Grad transfers one from Rice and one from Georgia Tech.  Is it the player or the coach? And yes, it took all of 5 minutes to get the info. Call me a nerd if you want,  but i did this to make a point.  We may have missed on upto 10-12 players in that time, but @Eastexhorn tell of the misses was considering before or after  the coach changing. In that both 2017 and 2021 were the only years of taking 2 players the changing of coaches. I wait? Bragg? little? Zubia? The Brocks?, Jackson? Who else? None were coming due to the staff or staff changes or that Stanford came calling for.

I get the 14 wrs are to many, but in the 2 yrs, we played  upto 12 wrs. Now, more like 6-8 max, that is why i said upto 12 portal players.  1 qb, multiple wrs, and we all just saw a statement to the DL/DEs and plus we wont say no to any 5* player for any reason wanting in on the class. 

If we removed 12 total players added 3 wrs and 4 dbs and upto 4 onlines  and none are warm bodies that would be solid right? That's not including the super seniors or just seniors, but also any juniors that have been here 3-4 yrs.?

 

[Eastexhorn]

Remove 12 players? You can only recruit 25 all transfers count to 25.

As to OL recruiting name one year other than one Charlie had, where there is 17 OL. men.

What I get from your post is Texas needs to recruit more OL each year. And I agree 100%.

More, perhaps. 
Better, certainly. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

More certainly and better if posible.

Texas has recruited several highly rated OL some how they never reached thier potential. Coaching bad rating or what? 

Most posters on a lot of sites agree OL is weakest point. Maybe recruiting will get better sure hope so. 3-4 OLannd 4-5 DBS wouldbe nice come Dec.

i agree with both statements.   I do believe  we end up with  3-4 OL and upto 4 possibly 5 BDS, but none will be just warm bodies that Herman took. The weakest point of the OL is the coaching, and its hard to break bad technique  in blocking.  But the fact that we went from 10 false starts from the OL to 1 on a freshman TE is freshing.  Hopefully coach Flood is harping on the holding calls this week and going forward. Especially  with the super seniors and the senior Angilau. Or coach Flood makes changes to Parr, Johnson, and Ghirrmai while keeping Jones (LT) and Majors (C).  The to least penalize OL guys from the past week.
