Possible Recruits to Flip?
- Thread starter MPAhorn14
- Start date
Good list, with one small correction. i saw that Justin (one of IT's recruiting guys) reported that Zack flipped his verbal to UCLAJust guessing here but if we are able to flip recruits the odds are they would be on the defensive side. Also, depending on what assistant coaches are hired and what ties they have to texas hs 2014 recruits. We we land a stud recruiter or 2 like Brewster or Ed O i think we can flip 2-3 at least.
Players I would try to go after are guys who have shown some interest in Texas. Also, going after a stud or 2 who was committed to a school who just lost their HC or position coach.
My top guys form instate that I would pursue had are:
Nick Harvey - aggie
Solomon Thomas -Stanford or tOsu
Jamal Adams - Lsu
Tony Brown - Bama
Zack Whitney- UCLA
Miles Garrett & Josa Scott - Aggies, dont think either would come but send in Ed O and see what happens.
Aaron Springs - Oregon
Nick Watkins - ND
Edwin Freeman would kill in the 3-3-5 D as a rover/hybrid.
Marvin Saunders - TE FSU - especially if we get Brewster
If any show even a bit of interest, send the position coach followed by a visit from Coach Strong himself.
I feel, if we get the right staff, we can definitely flip a couple of guys, especially on D.
I know its late in the game but if Miami loses Golden to PSU, we have the coaches that can recruit south Florida like Mack recruited Dallas. Especially on the D side, we can pull someone.
Some Miami commits that are ranked high(I havent watched any film so i cant comment as to how good they are).
Chard Thomas - DE, McDermott - OT, Moten - DT, Yearby - RB
Personally, I think Mack did his typical thing of singing a few guys who probably wont play much at Texas but i wont name them. Hopefully they realize that we get can open up a couple of ships.

Freeman as a rover/hybrid in this scheme would be amazing. Perfectly suited, big DB that can move and hit.Freeman needs to be a priority, perfect for the 3-3-5

it is a feel link?Eric over at Inside Texas has a great write up of possible flips. Some of the guys mentioned sound awesome, a couple of BIG boys at needed positions for us. I think we are about to have some more F5 days ahead folks!

Klemm is huge with ZW, i think, so if we get Klemm to be OL coach, we can get Zachary.Zachary Whitley flipped to UCLA a few days ago I believe.

Zachary is a lb not an ol. Not sure if the oline coach will sway him that much. But being a part of something new on the 40 is.

No it is not sorry, very good stuff on some loyal to CS recruits who could possibly want to follow him. I am very excited for the future and for recruiting again. I think we see a nice bump in this years class.

I agree, ILB but his primary recruiter was OL coach Klemm. I believe that was the main reason for the flip to UCLAZachary is a lb not an ol. Not sure if the oline coach will sway him that much. But being a part of something new on the 40 is.

From film i saw of him, he is not as polished nor does he have the brute strength. both can be developed but i think he needs 2+ years on campus to play anywhere. Inconstant hands and strike.We need to go after Knox the OL who was a former commit. He acted like a fool and flipped to Ohio State. He is Gresham's teammate. I hope we go after him. We need more offensive linemen.
Adding an OL would be nice.
Gresham, Knox...I bet he flips at least 1, maybe 2 of:
Tony Brown
Jamal Adams
Nick Harvey
Arrion Springs
Zach Whitley
Deshawn Washington
Solomon Thomas (uncommitted)
If he wants him, I would think Edwin Freeman is a lock, and a good fit for his scheme as well.
I said in another thread, he may take some good recruits from other states as well.
