PROPS TO HORN SPORTS

[MBHORNSFAN]

HS said all along their source said that Cumbie would not come to Austin. Nailed it.

This really is a dope site for Longhorn fans. I've never really followed recruiting, like ever, until you guys forced me to!  LOL!

 

[Mike Roach]

Thanks guys, and it sucks because I personally was a huge fan of Cumbie.  I'm also a huge fan of Gilbert, I'm talking to some high school coaches now about him.

It was the correct guess.  Well done.

Still, there is no doubt Cumbie seriously considered it, otherwise he would not gone through all the machinations, nor put all the other people involved through.  Why waste everyone's valuable time (including his)?   From what Ive read from other folks, he spent some time praying on it.  It was not an easy call.

Can't wait to hear some quotes.  I'm not worried about him as an OC (scheme or play-calling)  I know Tulsa didn't do particularly well in advanced stats - I  they had issues with their running game - they did show big improvement from previous season. 

My questions are about how he'll do as a recruiter.  Any insight into that area would be greatly appreciated.

Also - anyone have any idea what Tony Levine is doing and whether he wants to take a phone call about an open TE/ST position (if we move Traylor to RB's)?

Again, this is why HS is the only Texas affiliate site that I post on. Aaron, Matt and Mike (credit to the rest of the staff as well) have done a tremendous job of getting information but also straying away from bad information. They don't hop on a story just because it's gaining steam. They vet it and roll out what they know to be good in merit. I would rather get the right news last than to be up to my knees in hunches.

OB looks absolutely silly right now. As they tend to do. Then you have Higdon doing his usual thing. In my opinion, HS and 247 are the only two boards that came out of this with their legitimacy intact. 247 is the only other board that I'm a member of but HS will continue to be the only place that I discuss Texas athletics.

I disagree OB has been good. 

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

I disagree OB has been good. 

I guess we'll find out if/when Watson is on staff next season.

 

[BevoBlake]

I disagree OB has been good.

Didn't OB says days ago that Cumbie was a done deal?

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

100% FALSE. They never said that.

they never said that either. Good lord 

 

[BevoBlake]

100% FALSE. They never said that.

I just checked, it was a poster responding to Anwar claiming they had info and that it was done. Not Anwar. That's my mistake.

Still can't stand Ketch though.

Higdon is getting too big for his britches IMO:

I think all the sites have had their moments through this thing.  Coaching searches are tough because there's so much information coming from different places and sources are pushing their own agendas as well.  Getting to know these guys from working in the same circle I can say they are all pretty good people.  EJ Holland has become a really good friend of mine to the point where he and I discussed road tripping together to see a game a few weeks ago.  I have tremendous respect for the work Justin Wells and Jason Suchomel do.  Dustin McComas and Alex Dunlap are two of the most underrated guys in the environment.  Will Wilkerson has a great ability to relate to people and he works his ass off.  At the same time, I feel like we are putting together a really good team here at HS, and we are glad you guys enjoy the product we put forward because there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes to bring this to you.  We are constantly communicating in order to improve the site.  Safe to say we are a little better off than the last time we covered a coaching search.  Thanks for your readership and feedback.

You mean sources have agendas? This cannot be true. I said the same thing here yesterday and the resident insider here blasted me for it.

Better start a Tony Franklin thread

They absolutely do. Everyone is looking out for their interests. We're all human.
