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.
