2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

[texasdalton]

I think now after we get one more running back and qb we need to go all in on defense and oline. We have some playmakers on offense we just couldn't see it yet due to the OLine not allowing time for the play to develop and when there was time our Qb acting like a tightend out of position and freaking out.

Heard will be a huge upgrade over swoops, he probably would have been this year but we had to let him redshirt. Watson couldn't tell us that heard is amazing and will do great while at the same time redshirt him. We had to suck it up for the future of the program (heard) to develop . At the same time you don't let heard know that he shouldn't expect some real compition otherwise he might let his guard down.

And then tweeted he was going into hibernation while hash tagging his top three.

Talk about a tease.

The "cap shuffle game" redux.

I saw that. Hey you know I can't blame them. Its a big decision and they can't help but get caught up in the attention. That's fine with me as long as they're ready to get to work when they get here. Who would have thought that recruiting would have turned into a social media circus.

Kinda a odd top 3 too.

Texas

Tenn.

UCLA

I know the Vols fans seem kinda stalk'ish on twitter. All fans do really but those dudes take it to another level.

Agree. The depth chart says we are very light at RB.  Need 3 at least.

And Mack and Richmond are arguably the 2 best linemen in the entire national class.  Getting one would be terrific, both tremendous.  What a long way we have come in recruiting in a short period of time.

On another note. Checked in on Locksley and he has a bunch of traffic from FSU and Horns fans. One FSU guy tweeted him 5 or 6 times in two days talking about everything from FSUs WR talent he'll have to Jimbo being a QB guru that will get him in the NFL.. bunch of b.s. mainly. I think we are behind on his recruitment until we get him on campus.

If Warren and Brossette want to both come on board, not sure how Strong can turn either away. There's a need at RB and both are elite players.

If Hill is coming on the 17th - I have to believe Boyd is going to try and join him.  Could be a very big weekend - four huge prospects.

 

[Juan]

As far as I know Hill is still taking 2 more OVs after the 17th

Baylor is set for 23rd

Jan 30 is open for him to visit Bama, but dont think its actually been set yet

Agree + Kirk Johnson can kick out to the slot receiver position

That would still leave 3 RBs

However, the rumors of Warren having serious interest in Washington appear legit

247 says nothing to worry about with regard to Davante Davis' OVs to Miami & Florida

I agree. I think Davis and Charles O are just enjoying the end of their recruitment. Although there is always a risk of persuasion to another program..I'm pretty confident these guys are all in at Texas

You never know as long as they are taking visits.

 

[Mike Garland]

Anytime a kid takes a visit there's always that chance.

 

[odell327]

Charles Omenihu tweeted to Locksley this morning after Locksley commented about Winston going pro. He is definitely still putting the Horns in his ear. He has probably been the most consistent recruiter of other recruits over the last month or two.

Davis was all over twitter regarding Irvin. I think that is telling of how strong their commitments are

 

[utisdabomb12]

IT thinks we close with Mack, Warren, Hill, Boyd, Locksley and Strickland. 

 

[Mike Garland]

I don't think we get Mack.

Could be wrong. Hope I am.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

I don't think we get Mack.

Could be wrong. Hope I am.

I this too...

But I also didn't think we had a chance at Jefferson up until he announced for Texas.

 

[utisdabomb12]

John Burt tweet, "Calm down I'm still evaluating." 

 

[texasdalton]

Let Malik hangout with MACK then let's draw our conclusions. I think as long as we get him on campus he will be with us. As soon as he abruptly decomitted from aggy, all bets were off and the playing field is open. The fact that he moved up his visit to the 16th instead of the 24th tells me he is eyeballing one of our few remaining spots and doesn't want to potentially lose out.
