From my understanding he wasn't a huge recruiter back at OK St., though he did land Mason Rudolph as his primary recruiter. Not sure of how much was asked of him at OK St. as far as being out on the trail a lot. 

Someone in the NFL hire David Shaw right now please and let's throw in a scandal or two thanks

Right on. Something else to consider, and this may be a little too deep, but: it's also possible that he's a 17 year old with recruiters and everyone else talking to him every day. You're kidding yourself if you don't think recruiters, family, friends and fellow players were all over his phone...

Eh...you're probably right 

Agree This situation also handed Herman a big recruiting tool vs LSU, imo. "LSU won't even let me come to camps in LA, but if they want to come to our camps in Texas I have no problem with it. I want the kids in our state to get every shot they can to play college football at its highest level...

Summary, in headline form:  Texas hires right coach; LSU hires buffoon.

that tweet put some warmth in my heart. 

Wow, that looks so real life man! Gunna suck when he gets tackled by the cops on a warrant for Baker Mayfield...

oh, now that'd be fantastic, on a few levels

Can't wait for today's new sticky'd thread: "Recruitment Spotlight: Erry Body (by Daniel Seahorn)"

I'm all about second chances, whether you're an athlete or not, so I'm good with this, especially seeing it was a crime of the "victimless" variety (not here to argue about that. "Drugs have a victim" okay I get it whatever). But, he's on a short leasH, and he has earned that short leash. I'll...

http://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/ed-oliver-takes-shot-tom-herman/ I'd imagine there will be a lot less winning, too. 

Though I don't think the Horny hire is a huge deal, I get the concern that some of you have about it, but how are you sure he would have known about Leitao?  Looks like no one had a clue about this. 

Same here. 

I look from time to time. Finding good discussion there sometimes is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Some decent humor on there. 

If you want the opposite of dead, go to Shaggy. It is LIT...but almost zero substance right now. Slow times.

Geez, how blunt is that. Like it. 

So he's not moving to QB, but can be used situationally if needed. (for those who wanted a definite answer)

What I'm getting at is, that according to an article I read, Texas had already been looking at grad transfer options at TE. Was wondering who that might be, is all. 

Anything they can do to fill that depth this year that I'm not seeing?
