Friday Staff Chat is Open

[Harrison Wier]

Couple of recruiting notes:

Marquez Bimage officially decommitted from The University of Houston earlier today. He is on commit watch for Texas. The 3-star LB will be a nice addition to Todd Orlando's defense. Think Malcolm Roach with this one. 



Tom Herman has done a spectacular job recruiting thus far. He is handing out a ton of 2018 offers, which is his way of starting the relationship building process. If Texas wins in 2017, recruiting is going to become extremely easy. 

Fire away with any questions you have for our staff, and we will do our best to answer them. Happy holidays, folks!

What do you think our chances of getting Eno Benjamin with all of these other RB offers going out?

 

[Monsieur ATX]

Do you think we land kendall Sheffield and Jordan Moore?

I think it's going to come down to Texas and Arizona State. Eno says he doesn't mind the offers to other RBs, but I believe it bothers him a little bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see him choose Arizona State. I also wouldn't be surprised to see him pick Texas. The good news for Herman is, if Eno goes to the Sun Devils, Daniel Young probably comes to Texas.

Do you think we land kendall Sheffield and Jordan Moore?

Jordan Moore is 50/50 at this point, imo. Being cousins with Oscar Giles and his mother being a Texas Ex certainly doesn't hurt, but A&M has done a great job with his recruitment. The fact of the matter is that this kid will most likely not stick with his original commitment. It's obvious that he's torn and is making a decision way too early. Regardless of his choice, this recruitment is far from over. As far as Sheffield is concerned, I think Texas has a legitimate chance. Sheffield is interested and may be sitting privately on an offer. We will see how that plays out.

Who/what do you want to see in an Offensive Coordinator?

Sheffield got offered on Nov 30th by Texas according to 247.

Ah, must have missed that one. Thanks

Someone that is familiar with Herman's offense. I think Herman is going to run the show on that side of the ball regardless, but it would benefit for the OC to know the type of offense.

 

[Harrison Wier]

That's 2 commitments today for Texas

That's 2 commitments today for Texas

Who do you think it is this time?

 

[Harrison Wier]

Who do you think it is this time?

First one is Brewer 100%. Second one, not sure. Could be Jordan Moore, Leitao, Bimage. I put my money on Bimage imo

 

[Harrison Wier]

Could also be Daniel Young. If that's the case, the door probably was shut on Eno

 

[colin]

I heard it's Daniel young

Any update on Starvin Marvin Wilson?

 

[Slimer]

Any update on Starvin Marvin Wilson?

The brainiacs sounded a bit more optimistic in their last update of Marvin and 247 is saying he is going to do an in-home with Herman and staff. Orlando needs to throw in the tape of Ed Oliver and show him what he can do with a 5* DT/NG.

So I know we're still a long ways away from 2019 recruiting, but I just wanna know what folks think of the 2 QB prospect whose names have been thrown around; Grant Gunnell and Roschon Johnson. Which guy do you think would be a better fit for Herman's offense?

Johnson already has CB picks to Texas FWIW.

Hardly any chance. He's giving Texas an in home but he's not coming to Austin imo
