Getting tired of seeing top talent leave the state and Tom not even making them think twice

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Your source was wrong... They are all Bama.... Going public tomorrow.

Well, no, he wasn't. It is true that the two re-joined the chat. Thats all he said.

Roll Tide

You seem zeroed in on this one for some reason. You have Bama fans in your family?

I accepted this some time ago. Thats why it was unusual in my mind for them to rejoin the UT commits chat like they did. Maybe they just wanted to let those guys know or something.

Apparently they have also been recruiting Milroe to flip to Bama.... Seems like their hearts have been with Bama a while.

Nope F@#K Bama...... I just wish my University wanted to be like Bama in football instead of Vanderbilt.

Till Brown came along Texas never lost to Bama, even with mighty Joe.

But Brown coud recruit.

He's one of the best CEO coaches as well. The turnaround at UNC proves his ability.

Well, we all expected the brothers would go to Alabama. Hey, their choice and their loss.  I for one wish them no ill will, but I also will not care about how well they are or are not doing.  They are out my mind from here on out. Move on and play with kids that want to make Texas great again. I care about those kids and give my full support (and that includes Luke B.)

 

[oldhorn2]

......so when will they announce?

 

[Eastexhorn]

@Baron Yes Mack could organize and recruit. Wish Tom can do as well.

How many conference ships did Mack win in his 18 years.?

 

[oldhorn2]

If they pick Bama, I get it. They are looking at their future and Bama is a proven commodity.  I will think no less of them, I cant say I would not make the same decision. If they come to Texas they really have no assurances that the development will be as good....and certainly not as proven. The one guy that seems to have access to the most inside information has said we did everything right in this recruitment, it is just hard to overcome Bama when they make an all out push to get someone.

This is more of an indictement of how far we let ourselves fall than the current staff.

A look at 2021 roster assuming no go pro. or attrition. And all commits sign.

QB    4

RB     5

TE     4

WR    11

OL     13

Not sure to place Hullaby LB,RB TE HB.

Defence later maybe . This gives  a look at wwatis needed on off.All positions look except OL as far as depth goes.

Everyone keeps talking about development. I think Herb Hand is doing a good job of developing. It wasn’t good when he got here so some guys probably had to play that could have used a little more time. OLinemen usually aren’t ready to play big time college football for a couple of years. You have to recruit, develop some depth and then you will start seeing some results. Herman has recruited well at Oline. Cosmi and Kerstetter are high level offensive linemen that will play in the NFL. There’s a lot of young linemen that should have a chance in the future. The players from what I can tell absolutely love Herb Hand. It all goes back to crushing people on the field and recruiting more of the top guys. I hope we are heading in that direction. I’ve said it before and will say it again.......we were severely setback by the last 4-5 years of Mack Brown and then the bad hire of Charlie Strong. You’re are talking 7-8 years of set WAY back. I wish you could, but you can’t flip a switch and be out of that....no matter how much money you have. Let’s all hope we’re on the right track.

Great post!  I'm tired of hearing Hand needs to go.  Cosmi and Kerstetter are 2 of the highest rated returning OL in the B12.  Not bad for a couple of 3* recruits.  That's development and a testament to Hand as a developer. This OL room is the deepest it's been in a long time.  They have one blue chip in Tyler Johnson and the rest are low 4* and 3* recruits (Angilau was slightly rated higher).  We've heard nothing but good things about C. Jones, Ghirmai and R. Moore...all were lower rated.  The proof is in what we see on the field, but if it is true then Hand needs to be applauded for developing those kids.  Lightening may strike twice (Williams and Cosmi), but not 3 to 6 times.

One final note on the Brock's, IMO, I think James will enter the transfer portal in a couple years.  James still needs to develop some and Alabama will recruit over him.  Tommy will see the field for Bama, but they won't wait for James to catch up.  I could be way wrong, but Bama will always look for someone better and James may be left behind.  Maybe I'm underestimating James, but I do think he needs a couple of years and that may be too late at a place like Bama.

Thanks Tom

Hand has not had an OL commit in over a year. He must be too busy cooking.
