Yeah, they are projecting

And Higs has been talking 25, 26 maybe even 27

WTF?

So how many current UT players are leaving?

Any idea who they are and why?

Nice short video with DJax

Also article arguing Texas admins must let Strong hire Hurtt

"..... Hurtt was with Strong at Louisville from 2010-13 without incident. Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich stood by Hurtt when the sanctions were released.

But that two-year, show-cause ended in mid-October and the Chicago Bears’ season is over on Jan. 3.

In addition to being a no-nonsense, defensive football coach, Hurtt is widely considered one of the best recruiters in college football.

At Louisville, Hurtt helped recruit QB Teddy Bridgewater, an NFL first-round draft pick, and S Gerod Holliman, who had 14 INTs in 2014 and won the Thorpe Award.

This is how much Strong thinks of Hurtt: Strong ended up turning down Tennessee (after initially accepting the job), because Tennessee wouldn’t allow Strong to bring Hurtt with him. The job ended up going to Butch Jones....."

I just can't see any reason why he will not be a Longhorn. Grew up a Longhorn fan, reportedly grew up down the street from Vince Young (have no idea if that is true), and wants to major in Business. I would be shocked if he isn't wearing burnt orange next year.

Michigan also liking their chances with Delance

The last 2 CBs have been to Michigan, and Michigan 247 says they are about to make it 3 consecutive

If I didn't dislike Pete Carrol so much I would be all for hiring him just to piss off Little Jimmy.

I actually grew up down the street from Vince Young,same neighborhood. I don't recall DJax living there. But Marcel Southall was my neighbor til he moved to Dallas. So I guess my neighborhood breed top recruits lol.

If we can get Hurtt then I'd be pretty excited, he and Bedford worked well at Louisville with Bedford focusing on the secondary and hurtt focusing on the front 7 , this guy can recruit and with he, strong, Traylor, Vaughn , BJM, and Gilbert on the same staff, we could be on to something

Per HD:

"I hear Hurtt is willing to leave the NFL (and his progress toward the NFL pension) if Texas is ready to see him come to Austin and help turn around the Longhorns’ defense."

 

[Epictetus]

Can only hope Charlie is pressing to get Hurtt.

Agree it must happen.

You and me both. If Texas starts losing out on big time players to Michigan it will just add insult to injury.  Already have the SEC bearing down on us we don't need the Big Ten to.

Some chatter that USC wants Orgeron back

(would be good for us since he is such a good recruiter -- just get him completely out of the area)

http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/lsu-football/report-ed-orgeron-has-been-in-discussions-about-rejoining-usc/

"..... According to Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News on Wednesday, the Tigers defensive line coach could be headed back to the west coast to reunite with the Trojans as a defensive line coach.

The report states that new USC head coach Clay Helton has had discussions with Orgeron about a possible return with Wolf writing that “any deal could be contingent on whether athletic director Pat Haden approves on Orgeron returning and nothing will probably be determined until after LSU’s season is over.....â€

I love Orgeron rumors bc it always gives me the excuse to repost this

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

Per HD:

"I hear Hurtt is willing to leave the NFL (and his progress toward the NFL pension) if Texas is ready to see him come to Austin and help turn around the Longhorns’ defense."

Any mention of which coach would be leaving to open up a spot for Hurtt?
