Recruiting

that guy is a beast and there are 13 other DT better then him hard to believe.

I believe it. Yes the guy is a beast, but he stands straight up at the snap of the ball. He is a little slow to his gap, and relies on his size and strength to make plays. There is a lot of coaching that would need to go into this guy. He will need to learn to get off of blocks, stay low, and get to his assigned gap much quicker. IMHO.

Looks like Alex Anderson, he's an ASU commit and someone on 247 changed their prediction today to Texas. Wickline apparently recruited him pretty hard at OSU, so I think we have a good shot at getting him.
Edit: He actually de-committed a couple days ago so that's got to be who Burton is talking about.

I believe he was about to commit to the Cowboys, before Wickline left

Texas has an in home visit with Solomon Thomas some time this week per 247. Would be a monster pickup.

People need to calm down on recruiting and give Strong some time. Losing recruits is all part of the process. I expected us to lose 5-7 recruits. When you clean house on the coaching staff, you are going to see kids decommit. Be glad we are taking the right steps and getting rid of coaches that haven't been very good for a while.
Let Strong get his staff together and he will pick up some recruits before signing day, and we will be in about the same position as we are now in recruiting. Much rather lose some 3 and 4 star players now, and get a competent staff together that can win games and pick up 5 stars in the future.

Agree, time is running out. I would be frustrated if I were a recruit. He'll I'm frustrated and just a chick with a passion for the game! Hook Em

Wyatt was recruiting WRs with size.

What are the NCAA Rules during this time from now till signing day. Not up on all that. Since we have new coaches, does that change anything?

How many "in home" or "in person" visits can you have? Would love for as many as can to meet Coach Strong and the other new coaches sometime between now and signing day. Think if I were a recruit that would help me a lot.
