Junior Day

Pardon my ignorance but will the invited juniors be players selected by Mack or selected by CS?

One other thing: I have noticed a theme running thru several Texas sites that are negative to Mack Brown. In my opinion, Mack B was exactly what Texas needed when he first came here- remember how poor things were when he arrived. But like most very successful individuals he, aged, grew contented, and gradually lost his internal fire. I wish he had made his exit 2 years earlier, but that will never diminish (in my eyes) what he did for Texas.

pardon my ignorance, but why in hell would Mack Brown select them? I hope he is so far away from the current program that someone has to mail him air.

 
Thanks JimR

I just do not see how the current staff has had enough time to evaluate juniors. That is why I was wondering if most would not be from evaluations made by the previous staff.

I do not have a clue, but I hope this staff does its own.

I'm not going to pay/sign-up for a subscription to see who the list is - but Strong has his work cut out for him regardless of who he can get in to the first Junior Day. I don't expect an immediate turnaround in recruiting, but a top 10 finish should be the goal.

Wonder who Lousiville was targeting - and if they are still on Strong's radar.

 
Thanks Phil for posting the list - I went ahead and added in 247 star rating for each prospect:

Is the list for the 1st junior day or both? I would there would be another junior day for guys to attend that have conflicting plans already

 
If we can get Stidham in there, it would be great. I have a serious feeling that he's going to surprise people and commit Baylor.

Stephenville loves their Art Briles connection.

That's for the 22nd.

 
I have seen the RB Ronald Jones twice. He isn't as polished as other backs, but this is a kid that is going to definitely win you some games at the collegiate level. He has take your breath away sprinters speed and has a frame to add weight. He was minimized early last season by design and then his HC in an interview said it was time to take the reigns off. The results were staggering.

I'm not one to overrate HS players as I was conservative with rankings when I was briefly in the business of doing so, but this kid is a MUST!

 
Jones is just salty. Early leaders for best back in the state were Jamabo, Anderson, Stevenson, Bradford, and Warren, but Jones and Ware (Cedar Hill) have a case that they belong with this group, and Jones may be at the top. I think Stidham is Baylor bound at this point, although Texas and Tech should make a strong run at him. Xavier Lewis just decommited from LSU, we'll see if the Texas schools can get a foot in the door. I'm interested to see if the staff can talk Lanfear off the ledge from decommitting. I could see Ketchum committing if he has an offer, some schools have started slow playing him after his attitude issues this season.
