*****National Signing Day Thread 2/1/17*****

[Slimer]

Well, at least we have a pretty stacked roster of 3-4 OLBs.

Hate missing out on Chaisson, but we need 5-tech DEs and OTs even more, in my opinion. Them's the breaks.

2 high-end OT's next year are must.

Herman offered this guy while at UH, we may need to extend an offer soon.

Any good news on the Pouncey front?

He tweeted earlier that he was the first one to send fax in his NLI.

We need everything high-end next year.

FINALLY! Some logic... USC and UF pull in great recruits every single year... and have both been

Little more than garbage for a long time. We have a very good coach... that has been on the job 2 months. Give him a damn break. We haven't been relevant on the field since these kids were in f'in jr high or earlier.

Just my two centavos, but when Strong was hired and he pulled the classes he did, everyone was thrilled. Multiple posts, gifs, photos, etc. of people saying get on the train or get run over. Then came the season(s). 6-7, 5-7, 5-7. All I'm going to say is, if I have to trade a mediocre recruiting class for wins on the field, sign me up! I am so over getting hyped up to be let down. Show me the wins. Winning will cure a lot. And in that old classic line, "If you build it, they will come." Along those lines, if we win, the recruits will come.

I personally had no trouble understanding Tom Herman's tweet. Yes, he's having to recruit like he's Iowa State. Thats because for the past three years, we've been Iowa State. For CRYING OUT LOUD IOWA STATE SHUT US OUT.

Someone's a little late with the "lets act like we're bigger than Iowa State" BS.

When Texas starts playing and winning games again like Texas is supposed to, at that point we'll deserve to be looked at in a different light. For now, we just don't.

I will say though that every board needs a drama queen and we certainly have one. Every time Herman looks at the mic wrong we hear a pronouncement of failure. LOL. I can't get that anywhere else on the net. LOL

What Sir said and throw in the fact that Texas lost to Kansas, in football . Yes, in football not basketball.

Dead on. UT, to these kids, doesn't mean what some of us still think it means. As I've said either on here or twitter or somewhere, this problem gets fixed on the field, not this recruiting cycle. 

 

[BevoBlake]

If we miss on Pouncey, today was a complete loss.

"I heard Herman's car broke down today. I can't say that I'm shocked, seeing how that car had the same leadership that hires a guy like Horny."

 

[UTK66]

I see there are more than a few Texas fans freaking the hell out over here as well. 

What a day.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

This is probably the worst Texas has been perceived ever and this includes the 80's and 90's era. Just brutal 

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I usually dont put a lot of thought into these kids tweets, emojis or even other nuances, but someone help me understand this. Chaisson had two hats, lsu and Florida and a UT tshirt when he made his pick. WTH does that mean?

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Absolutely SMASHED the nail on the head!!! Well done.

Truth! 

And it might be an understatement.

Losing Chaisson is a tough pill to swallow either way you slice it. That's all I got on that one.

WHAT!?

First he drags the program into the Baylor mess and now he publicly equates the UT Austin program to that of Iowa State.

Tom, just shut up, coach spring practice, and pray to God there are no discipline problems over the next few months.

The head coach at UT should never claim any aspect of the UT program is no better than Iowa State. Start believing you are like Iowa State and you become an Iowa State level program.

Charlie Strong had no problem recruiting at UT and even with the record UT had under Strong, he had a number of really solid players very interested in committing to UT. Herman lost recruiting battles to Utah, LSU, UCLA. His big recruiting day surprise was a two star JUCO.

One has to wonder what the hell Herman is thinking at times. If Herman is ever the smartest person in the room, then that isn't saying much about the other people he is standing around.

Have you purchased FIRETOMHERMAN.COM yet?

Pouncey chose the good guys. Hook 'em!

Dude seriously. Please do us all a favor and shut the hell up. You're the most annoying user on this site because all you spew is negativity
