2017 Recruiting Thread Part 1

[texasdalton]

I just want a national recruiting presence for the nations best recruits. I know Texas is where schools go to recruit but we shouldn't be limiting our efforts to only the top Texas kids.

Thanks for the update SHA. I have a great feeling that for the first time in more than a decade, we have a hard-working, competient coaching staff from top to bottom.

And please let it be an elite force off the edge. Please, please oh pretty please.

Spoke to my friend this evening. He is pretty stoked. I mentioned to him that some are a little hesitant to embrace the Beck hiring due to the bowl performance. His response was:

1) Ohio State was the greenest team in the nation when the season began, and

2) Beck was not their play caller.

What he asked me to forward to the doubters was that this is Herman's offense. All Beck is being asked to do is execute Herman's offense (call plays).

And, more importantly, we just walked away with the three best recruiters from Ohio State's staff under Meyer. If you liked the recruiting results for OSU over the past few years, you'll like whats going to happen in Austin. He predicted a TOP 3 national finish for Texas in 2018 recruiting.

He thinks this is the best recruiting staff ever assembled at Texas. And he said Herman is quite the closer.

I asked about the rest of the 2017 class to come. He offered no specific names but said he thinks there's one we haven't heard much about who will be a part of the class. Said player is supposedly a 4-star.

I asked him about Drayton and Beck. He loves them both, both are great recruiters/coaches/people he said. He thinks Drayton will be the best recruiter in the Big 12 next year.

Another person I know who is connected told me we're about to have a defensive commit, but wouldn't tell me the name.

Good news as always SHA, who do you think the defensive commit is?

IMO, it's Chaisson (sp?)

Ultimitely , I want Texas to lock down the state again like Brown did after the 05 national championship. But recruiting has changed and that may never happen again. So a presence in places like California and Louisiana and the Midwest can't be bad.

I was thinking the same thing. Chaisson 🤔

I saw one longhorn related twitter "poo-poo" that little tid-bit, but it's for sure interesting.

I read somewhere that the Texas coaches were going to talk to him in January.  It is January now, so you think the coaches re-evaluated him and re-offered him?

 

[shotime73]

That could be a possibility donato

Nothing has changed with Carson.
