2015 Recruiting Thread

Question asked by a poster:

Higs do have Hurtt on the staff for next season

Higs response:

"Not imo"

I'm confused how he thinks we pull off a top 5 class.

Two things:

1.  He's bat-shit crazy

2.  He's talking about Scout ratings only.

Amazing that a coach one year removed from HS coaching may be more important than the head coach. Let that sink in.

To be fair, if you take the best recruiter off of any staff a month or two before NSD and its going to have an impact.  Imagine LSU watching Frank Wilson walk to another program.

FWIW - I think the impact of Traylor leaving would be felt much more in the 2017 class than it would be in 2016.

You proved my point. A guy right out of HS coaching is the most important staff member.

Don't underestimate HS coaches.. haha

I'm confused about what higs is trying to imply. Something big is probably going to happen, and if it doesn't it will have a negative impact? I'm stumped on this one. People on hornsdigest are a little panicked.

This guy is.  Its why he's now listed as the Associate Head Coach on the staff directory.  A star in the making.

Something big is probably going to happen and may or may not have a big impact on recruiting.  

Without a doubt, I am fairly certain with a small degree of possible doubt, this may or may not be negative and possibly could be positive based on potential moves.

A star in the making for sure! I just checked the directory and it still has him as TE/ST.

Yeah ok...

Texag's Rojo has been floating that Spurrier is going to be the OC for aggy next year for months now. Maybe that's what Higs is referring to. Hard to imagine that Rojo would actually have that info so far ahead of time but I suppose it's one scenario.

Going to continue to doubt it anyways.

Thats not the staff directory - thats the football/texas sports page.  Texas sports page is likely maintained by some unpaid intern who updates when told to.  I'm assuming staff directory is updated as HR receives title changes (I assume it links to whatever system Texas uses for HR.

*Yes - it says Defense.  I'm going to just assume thats a typo mistake.

Higs thinks our visitor weekend of Jan 16 "will be the biggest OV Texas has seen in 4 years"

He also is saying we have a shot at a top 5 class, depending how that weekend goes

Remember this is not me saying this, I am just sayin what he is sayin

Yes, but we will still hold you accountable!

Chicago's final game is Jan. 3

I listened to the interview again...I think he's hinting at a contract extension for Strong.

Honestly - that's the only thing I can think of that would have very significant impact on 2016 recruiting.

I also think there is no way that happens.

1.  He's bat-shit crazy

Heh

247 thinks Studstill to Notre Dame

And Reese to Gator (although still "a bit of hope for UT").  "If Reese pushes back his decision, that's a positive."

11-14 coaches should not get extensions.

William Wilkerson says Traylor will be on the staff in 2016
