10 NSD Thoughts

[popdaddy]

Mack and Strong were good at signing *(star) high school players but proved themselves incapable of actually coaching up the high school talent to play exceptionally at the D-1 level.

Herman has inherited a roster of non-coached talent he couldn't begin to recruit at cougar high.

Everyone needs to accept The University is no longer a Jones.

Herman and staff have to take the roster they have and coach them up. If their efforts result in winning football games, Herman will get real * (star) talent in 2018 and beyond.

Hook 'Em!

After looking at the recruit list I was pleased to see TEs, WRs, PK, solid JC LB, and RBs. Obviously missed out on a lot of talent....but filled some vital needs. Glass half full?😎

QB Blake Nevins committed to Texas as a preferred Walk-On.

Kid has good height. Anyone know if he had any offers?

From another site:
Known him since he was in kindergarten. Great kid, extremely bright, great family. Excellent basketball player as well, 3 year varsity starter, and had interest from some big time academic type schools for basketball. Did not play football sophomore or junior year concentrating on hoops, came back to football for senior year so hasn't spent much time lifting. A possible move to tight end has been discussed if he can put on size.

He doesn't show up on 247 so that doesn't instill much confidence.

Played some mean hoops at Cy Ranch, not sure if he had many D-1 Scholarship offers.

Now that I'm all rested up there are a few things I wanna get off my chest. First off for what Herman had to deal with in such a short period of time and a full deck of cards he had against him in this recruiting season he didn't do too bad of a job . He addressed the needs that we definitely needed to fill for the depth of this football team. Second, I commend the young men that didn't decommit from us and wanted to bail out from there commitment to Texas. My biggest concern I did have when Herman took over was just exactly THAT.. some of them decommit and go somewhere else. I can't remember offhand if someone did,but, I'm pretty sure somebody in here will remind me. Anyways, I know we didn't pull in stellar prospects like Chaisson, Browning, Wilson, Jones,Hines,etc. , But, due to the season that we had on the field that Texas had it was going to be a challenge for Herman to do that. So whether anyone is pissed off that Herman couldn't do it or pleased we need to move forward and get ready for

a war on the field.

Mack couldn't coach them up???????

Good point, that explains why TEXAS at one point was #1 in terms of putting players in the NFL, we still sit today at #5 or #6

Just finished reading on 247 a behind scenes look on the 2017 recruiting cycle. Man talk about a class we could of potentially had if we accumulated the wins.

 

[TB14]

Compared to what other coaches bring in during transition years this was as good as can be expected. Other coaches come in with around 15 commits it seems and Herman only had 7 I think. I'm holding back judgement on this class.

I will say that Herman really put the pressure on his 2018 class. If a year from now he is sitting outside the top 15 I will be really disappointed. That is when he put a timeline on himself so I'm expecting serious results.

This is good.

Here's a quote from the link that summarizes what we all need to take a step back and realize, from Herman himself. It's not an excuse, it's reality:

""The Texas they know is much different than the Texas that we know," Herman said. "So we've got to show them what Texas is capable of. We've got to show them what Texas can be. "

Wake me up, when September ends begins

Would really like to know what happened with Chaisson.

He was never going anywhere but LSU. He's just another prima donna recruit that is totally full of himself and just trolled everyone so he could draw attention to himself.

Not true from what I heard, but he definitely could have handled things better.

Very true from what I observed.
