Are we gonna land any of them?  Maybe Brokermeyer? Foster? Wheaton?  Pull that off and whoa!

This is the kid who tried to commit to Texas a few weeks back. UT staff would not accept his commitment, having other priorities at that position, despite him being a 4-star.

We already have. Sanders is a 5-star.

IMO, we have a decent shot at Brockemeyers. I think Foster is drifting to OU. Wheaton is all over the place.

I will not be heartbroken if we don't land Wheaton. We have Bijan in the fold so if we don't get the big fish this year, there's next year. I like the kid from the small school, Brooks. I'd take a flyer on him all day long.

Decided not to watch this one, but apparently he is 00% committed at this time based on what the headline says. “Respect my decision”.  Anyone else tired of this silly catch phrase every recruit has to put on their commitment posts?  Get off my lawn.

Were there any other issues with him?  Grades, character?  Or was just that Texas feels better with the other prospects and the recent addition of Barron?

I think they felt better with their chances and their choices.

Looks like Clayton Smith will commit to OU. I have nothing good to say about this development.

And Burris as well.  This sucks.  What are they doing over there to push these kids to commit?  Those two sting a lot.

Seems Ou is using Herman's hot seat against us

Luckily it isn't signing day and the Horns have time.  They must destroy OU this year in the RRR.  No question about it.

Don't throw in the towel on Burris just yet.

I think UT will continue to recruit both if they both commit to OU. Things can change. We beat OU in Dallas, all bets are off.

Indeed they are. They all are. But OU seems particularly obsessed with it.

I would think this is a little payback. Remember when we were all talking about Riley being named for an NFL job? We were telling recruits that he was likely gone.

 

[Slimer]

Didn't even seem like OU was involved much with Smith or Burris until recently and now both are about to commit.  This is a make or break season for Herman.  Another dud like last year and we are back at square 1 and we'll lose commits again.  Get to and/or win Big 12 and knock on the door of the playoffs and kids will beat down the door to come here.  I like to think option is what happens as IMO we've upgraded significantly at OC and DC.  What happens now is as important as what happens during the season.

They are doing the same with Quinn Ewers as well.

Well, there is one way and one way only that will shut them up...just beat them and win the B12.

Also, you can't blame them for using it and our fan base gave them all the ammunition they needed.  Understandable that Herman deserved criticism, but everyone was calling for his head.  They had an underwhelming season for sure, but they went 8-5 and won a bowl game with a young team that was injury riddled.  It sure as hell is a lot more enjoyable than the Charlie Strong days.
