Wednesday is going to be a interesting day...

OK, so if you want to play college football in a high profile environment that gives you the best chance to develop skills and enhance your possibility of being drafted, what's your best choice? Good grief!

 

[NLeininger]

Yep. Wednesday is going to be really good or really bad.

Good being Ford, Nelson, and Sione sign with Texas. Bad being all 3 sign elsewhere.

 

[texasdalton]

This is going to come down to does Nelson want to stay close to home or play big time football.

Supposedly UCF is the competition for us here.

Let that statement sink it for a minute and that's all you need to know about our recruiting right now.

Let that statement sink it for a minute and that's all you need to know about our recruiting right now.

What, that we'll end up with a top 12 class and we have one recruit who is choosing whether to stay close to home or play for the Longhorns.

Your constant bouts of paranoia about Texas recruiting is becoming a tiny bit distracting.

Why so much doom and gloom man? You do understand that UCF just won a BCS game? You do understand that UCF is near Nelson's home town, and that's probably why they are in the race? Why are you so negative about everything? Heck SMU is in the race for Myles Turner, what's your point?

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

Denial is a beautiful thing

Denial of what? A down year in recruiting? No one is denying that.

What I am doing is refusing to piss and moan over every lost recruit or perceived slight.

This coaching staff has had a very short turnaround to try and salvage an already weak class.

Never seen anyone so negative about everything, unreal really.

Just an unpleasant way to live.

So I am negative because I disagree with you? I could call you negative too then but I don't I just see it as we have a different view of where we are.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Actually I am very happy. I live in reality not fantasy land.

Fantasy land, what are you even talking about? We've admitted that it's a down year in recruiting, as expected with a coaching change. You act like it's a horrible thing that we are in a race with UCF, after they just won a BCS game and are near Nelson's hometown. You do understand that other programs like ND and Missouri also made a run at Nelson?

FYI we have no problem with you disagreeing with us, it's the way your word things and your constant negativity. Strong could pull a number one class, and you would still find something to criticize. The fact that you are being so negative about being in a race with UCF even though Nelson was recruited by ND and Missouri, proves this point. After seeing your complete meltdown over Lorenzo Joe I really don't need to say anything else.

I think Strong has done a good job of holding this class together.

They got on Heard right away, and he helped keep Joe. They also kept Roberson, Bonney and the Foremans.

Adding Freeman was big, especially in light of losing Alaka.

They also added two OLs after the previous coaches really dropped the ball there.

And they added a JUCO TE - go figure.

What we still have to see is about the DTs, another depleted area.

And the Teuhemas. Losing them would hurt, no getting around that.

But holding them and adding at least Poona (hopefully Nelson too) would be a fine job by my account in light of the timing, and the mess that was created over the Banquet weekend.

 

[bbdude]

Call me overly optimistic but I think we keep Bonney, Lorenzo Joe and land Poona Ford and Chris Nelson. #WERESTILLTEXAS

 

[popdaddy]

Supposedly UCF is the competition for us here.

So this UCF bunch reminds me of cougar high, what kind of "completion" is that? The high school player who has a choice like UCF or TEXAS makes a statement that either proves positive for a possible NFL chance or not.

I challenge you to go look at the final recruiting rankings on Wednesday from Rivals, ESPN etc and I expect we will be the highest ranked Big 12 school around 12-17. The SEC will have around 7-10 in top 15. Yep everything is just fine.. The Big 12 is a joke right now. Fact

 

[utisdabomb12]

More negativity I see. What does that have anything to do with Nelson? Wow just wow. I can already see you calling for Strong's head after one loss. Sure the Big 12 is down, but winning/recruiting is cyclical. I've honestly never seen you make a positive post.
