Jordan Elliott commits to Michigan

[North Texas Golfer]

Losing 2 recruits doesnt say much but losing 2 recruits that were silent commits or considered locks does.

If Strong wants to leave he just needs to do so and spare us the lingering carnage.  Right now I want to punch Mack Brown, kick Petterson in the ass, and buy Strong and Staff a ticket to Miami and beg Herman to bring Ed Oliver with him.

F@#K it this is just icing on the already shitcake season.

 Greatness right here. Love it

I tried to double "like it."

The recruits are voting with their commitments on whether they believe Charlie Strong has a clue about how to run the UT program. Charlie talks a good game but doesn't have any idea how to deliver. Few people believe he has the ability to, for the first time in his career, identify an OC who is competent.

I can't blame any recruit that runs like hell away from the UT program right now. I wish it was otherwise, but Strong is 4-8 after going 6-7 and he is wandering through the wilderness trying to find answers.

he's not wandering the wilderness looking for answers--he's playing Freshman to learn them.

Perrin will be announced as the AD moving forward. He will retain Charlie Strong. We will suck next year because Charlie Strong doesn't have what it takes and after a third losing season in a row we will be looking for a new head coach this time next year. No recruit with options, understandably so, wants to trust his future to Charlie Strong. While he is a good person, Charlie Strong sucks as a head coach.

We are a loooong way from turning all this around.

This right here is going to become my signature "bitch" line when they improve drastically next year with a more mature offensive line, sophmore bookend corners, healthy safety tandem, stronger linebacker position, bolstered rb position--all of these can't help but improve, they're mostly Freshmen... because that's mostly, you know, the team. Your hate has permeated your common sense.  You don't have to like Strong but it's stupid thinking they won't improve when the talented core guys have an actual full year under their belt.

I guess we will see but wasnt Whaley considered to be a lock after Curtis according to your source?

It's either the crappy team play or the rumors around Strong leaving.  I can only imagine its going to get worse after Baylor.

It's both.  The uncertainty certainly isn't helping.  I think these recruits believe in Strong and could overlook the play but the Miami stuff has really hurt him.  The Whaley recruitment isn't over either.

If Strong stays will we get those guys back?

 

[Topstarr]

Strong says that recruiting is going just fine........."REALLY"

He needs to be stable and convince recruits he's stable.  That's why all of this talk was no good for the program.  Elliott has committed 3 times, he's not done until he faxes that letter.  Whaley still has his OV scheduled to Texas in 2 weeks with Davion Curtis in his ear.  A lot will ride on the OC hire too which they need to move quickly on.

Strong is a dead man walking.
