2016 Recruiting - Week #4

Hey Mike, friend of mine in Daingerfield sent me a picture today where they have begun demo'ing the field and track there. They're installing an artificial turf and new track. FYI

 
Look at the uniform thing this way. When a new pair of Nike KD's or Lebron's come out, kids want them because they look good and are fresh.

The rub to all of the uniform changes is once you change them there is a tendency/ feeling that you have to continue to provide variations. That won't fly at Texas.
Good point, Aaron.

I have an idea that when our new facilities are built, the 'alternative' uniforms will be old news. After all, the facilities we have now are about 12 years old, right? Didn't Slocum tour our facilities during his last year or two as coach at A&M to get ideas for the facilities there? How quickly they forget...

I asked Charles Omenihu about this a handful of months ago and he told me that fresh, alternative uniforms make players feel good.
it makes not only play feel good they play good with confidence...like at least have something like alternate like on RRR day...something like that...

 
Don't be surprised if Delance flips to Tx.. He has always been interested in them.
they are gonna recruit him hard...its gonna be interesting...I believe once if JP Urquidez jumps on board with Texas getting on the Wickline train....I wouldnt be surprised if Delance starts getting the urge to flip to Texas..

 
Is this a selling point to recruits?

I agree in avoiding new alternative uniforms. Just like other people were saying, a lot of schools like Texas Tech come out with multiple random variations of football uniforms almost every game. It's like a flashy pair of shoes, they are great and cool until people get tired or bored of them and then they want the next version. So I say let's be above that and above them at The University of Texas and stick to our higher standards.

Now I don't mind the minor tweaks to the burnt orange and white, such as the chrome helmet decal this past year, but nothing major like black uniforms.
