Anyone just a little bit worried about the 2016 class ?

Charlie Strong failed to fill the 2015 recruiting class on signing day. Stating that isn't being critical, it is being honest. The team will start the season will fewer scholarship players than any UT team since before 1950. It was a f##king disaster. Calling it anything else is simply lowering the bar to make excuses for the inability of the staff to evaluate and recruit talent. The staff failed to get a quality recruiting class on campus and part of the team when the season started. Recruiting isn't about how many scholarships you can save for next year. It is about signing a full class on signing day (which the staff didn't do) and getting a full class on the sideline at the start of the season. LOLOL!!!

How many excuses are people willing to make for a staff that didn't get the job done?!
You do realize there are numbers limits on players signed per class so quit stating over and over how he failed to fill a recruiting class. he actually filled the class so well that Merrick was not going to have scholarship until players left. the missing scholarship players are from players leaving after signing day i.e. Darius James,Camrhon Hughes, Eric Huhn ,etc that were already on team who were not going to play and Cecil Cherry quitting after 3 days and Devo Clarington still in ncaa limbo.those missing scholarships can be used now on 2016 class on players actually likely to play at Texas instead of being wasted on players who won`t contribute. so STFU

 
What Randolph fails to comprehend is there's a net cost to every scholarship player you land. 

Texas probably could have landed JW Ketchum last year. That would most likely mean one less WR in the '16 class the staff is higher on. 

Texas probably could have landed Moore last year. That would most likely mean one less OL in the '16 class the staff is higher on. 

There's several other players I could do this with. Building a roster isn't as simple as just maxing out on the number of allotted players you can have. You have to have players that will actually produce, or else it's Mack Brown 2.0 again. 

Give me a class of 10 players where 8 actually produce over a class of 30 players where only 6 produce. Right now the goal is to get players in the system that can actually produce on the field. Randolph talks a lot about mediocrity but his very mindset in recruiting reinforces mediocrity. 
Under Mack we had plenty of players happy to be on scholarship with no chance of playing that does not help team win. Mack hardly ever had 85 on scholarship and when he did it was by giving scholarships to walk-ons during fall.no one wants Texas to be mediocre but 1 recruiting class can`t fix years of neglect by previous regime. Charlie knows how to recruit and turn those recruits into players he also is going to break some and those players will transfer. Randolph the key is not just having 85 players but actually having those players being good enough to play at the level Texas needs to get to championships.

 
Randy wrote a great treatise on the aggy's 12th man fable.  I loved reading it.  However, he was apparently unaware of the aggy neurosis that can sometimes border on psychosis.  The aggy nation went into full melt down and I heard Randy actually was getting death threats and some aggy's were investigating him in order to find out his name, where he worked, his family names and where he lived.  That is actually scary and this kind of stuff is why I am very secretive with my name, address, etc.  So you all should be.

Now, Randy is an argumentative soul and can, sometimes, deviate from opinions to claiming "facts".  And, when challenged, he will research like hell to find some kind of support for his "facts".

But this will only happen when he is in his self serving and pompous mode.  I'm so glad I never do this.  :)

Bottom line is that Randy is extremely opinionated and will raise his hackles if someone claims BS on him.  :)

Another bottom line is that apparently Randy thinks he knows how to do Patterson's and Strong's job better than they do. 

 
Not worried about 2016 class, unless this season is a bad one. If this season is good to great, the 2016 class will be stellar. 

 
Then since I have posted so many anti-Charlie Strong posts, then quote one. Just one. You can't do it. Not even a single post, even though you claim I have made so many.

lol.

How does it feel to be called out and have nothing to back up what you claim?

I'm anti- Steve Patterson and Shawn Watson. Get your facts right.
You ask me to quote one and then you answer the question yourself and laugh about it and taunt me about it. You are one miserable and weird guy.

You talk about facts which is a laugh. You keep repeating the same stupid argument. A couple of weeks ago you went on a rant on the 7 scholarships and plenty of members posted that it is no big deal. You always ignore the facts and just keeping posting your same argument.

Just like in this post utisthebomb12 and sir horns a lot took the time and trouble to educate you which I found is a waste of time.

You talk to down to people and you don't engage in dialogue with members, you just keep making the same speech over and over again. Your posting shows a pattern that you don't even like the UT program and you use this board as a toilet. So, anytime your feeling crappy about your life, you can use Horns Sports to shit on the program.

I liked when you have posted on Shaggy Bevo, they aren't shy to tell you that your full of shit.
