2015 Recruiting Thread

D’Andre Christmas Giles did make it, got in late.  LSU supposedly called him while he was already on the road, made the offer and "told him to turn the car around come back pull the trigger and end it" (sound like they skerred of us now?).  Anyways, he did not.  Supposedly getting a ton of attention from Haley and Strong.  LSU is the fav but Strong still gets an in-home with he and family (who are with him in Austin)

Higs says Reese likes Randy Shannon alot, so Gator is the leader in the clubhouse.  However, Strong's in home made a big impression. 

Reese is supposed to announce next week. Higs thinks that, if he does, it favors Gator.  But, if the decision is pushed back, it favors us

He say, either way, we are in it with him.  The sit down today will be big.  Other recruiter gurus like our chances with him better than Higs does

From Shane B:

""Every conversation I have wth coach strong is a positive one. I know what he is doing will be what's best for the program and will have a positive impact on the team."

"I got pretty antsy towards the end seeing who it would be, but I'm definitely excited to be coached by coach Gilbert. We talked a little bit and he is a great guy and will be great for the university of Texas."

 
From Peyton Aucoin:

"The whole weekend was great. Hanging with Shane, Demarco, and Collin was a blast. Coming into the program already knowing people is a necessity and hanging with them definitely helped."

"We didn't even talk much about the program. They're focus was that we had a good time and they reminded us this trip was all about us. Coach dos mention how the future of the program is very bright though."

"Getting the news about coach Gilbert was great. Meeting coach mattox and him was great. They're both cool dudes and they're young so they're easy to relate to. We talked a lot about where we were from then talked a whole lot of football."

 
I'm OK with this. I thought he did a pretty decent job under the circumstance he was given. Plus he is a good recruiter.
Me too, but i recently read on another board that Norvel was instigating some of the issues between older & younger players..I don't know how true that is...
I can say that I liked the toughness our WRs played with all year.

Ty Mayhall,

Made my day reading this.  I am excited to see our horns next year.  We need some hope and Gilbert brings calm to the panic.

 
Per Higs

Both Jean Delance and Brandon Jones will have in home visits from Texas today.
Good timing on Jones since he just had his OV with ATM. Get the thought them out of his head ASAP.
Edit: Forgot Delance was in Michigan for an OV this weekend as well.

From Collin Johnson

"Just bonded with my future teammates, I had an amazing time overall, I also got to meet and talk to coach Gilbert a little bit and can't wait for this new offense and it's crazy because next time ima be in Austin I will be moving in not just visiting , which is crazy"

On Sterlin Gilbert: "He's a great guy I can't wait to get to know him better"

 
I was just over on TexAg forums and it looks like the Aggies are all panicking right now. Mainly about Sumlin and his inability to recruit for the 2016 class

 
Just read Gilbert was OOS recruiting.
Was spotted in the Charlotte airport. Speculation that he was there to see QB Riley Ferguson who played for Coffeyville Community College and is from Charlotte. Originally committed to Tennessee out of high school and had several other offers.

Edit: According to what I read, those several other offers included Clemson, Alabama, LSU, and Michigan.
