2019 Recruiting Board/Thread

[Eastexhorn]

And Palestine (Peterson), and Hooks (Sims) and Big Sandy (Overstreet) ...

There is more encluding  half of the pony express Dickenson spelling?

 

[Eastexhorn]

I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if he was replaced in the offseason. Especially if a name like David Beaty hit the market. 

Maybe Meyer will be available.

 

[texasdalton]

Meyer can burn in hell.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Serious question here.

Do you really think Mehringer is stupid enough to burn some bridges with what most people think is the #1 WR ranked in the country? 

I may very well be wrong but I don't for one minute. 

No.

Mehringer is capable of some bone headed things, but I don't think this was one of them.

He simply said that he felt those who left early could have benefitted from another year at UT. Is that false?

He said he didn't feel they were ready. Is that false? Maybe, but its also subjective.

From what I've heard, there were two ways of taking it and the recruit and family chose to take it in a negative way. 

So IMO, much of this falls back on the Wilsons. I think there's enough blame to go around on both sides. But, the bridge is indeed burned.

We'll likely never know all the details. But I seriously disagree with attributing this to Mehringer when it doesn't totally belong to him.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

From what I've learned on the Mehringer/Warehime situation. . . both were told to look around during the off season. Nothing materialized for them. Herman had flexibility with the newly added coaching position rule. So when nothing happened, he was able to retain them, reassign them, and add Coach Hand.

I expect changes in the off season this year for at least two positions, possibly three.

This is not exclusive info. I've seen it floated around several places.

 

[texasdalton]

This is a topic that I’m sure is discussed everywhere however can be a negative impact towards recruiting. However this is great news!

 

[HORNfromETX]

How would y'all feel with Beck as the WR coach? He seems to be a good recruiter. 

 

[Hookemfan91]

If Beaty is available that would be my first choice for WR coach. He brings coaching and recruiting to the table. He can be a big difference with helping patch up the DFW area for recruiting as well.

I can't see how a recruit who's not looking for an excuse to go elsewhere would make a big thing about a coach stating an opinion about a player's draft potential, especially if that player plays a totally different position on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Makes no sense unless the coach did a hell of lot more / worse than that. I guess we'll see what trickles out over time.

The last post was deleted because it was an entire article pulled from another pay site. We’ve been over this time and time again so I’m not going to repeat it all, but please do not copy and past information from behind pay walls to this site.

We’ve heard two separate narratives to this story. That’s all I’m going to say at this time. 

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Knowing the source  of the two separate narratives, and their respective agendas, would probably go a long way to knowing where the truth lies. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Which narrative would make sense with Herman's "we're not sure where that came from" quote?

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

That’s not going to be put out on a message board. And there are certainly no agendas involved. 

 

[Bear19]

Daniel I don’t think he was talking about you. He was talking about your source. And SHA’s source. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

What quote are you referring to? 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

What quote are you referring to? 

When first asked about those comments from Deshaun.

"we're not sure where that came from"

 

[Sirhornsalot]

“Not real sure where that came from because we’ve never had an issue with him,” Herman told the Chronicle. “He was a tremendous player for us. We feel like he developed a ton in his one year with our staff. We wish him nothing but the best in his quest to fulfill his dream in the NFL.”

Elliott’s quotes/ the players declaring has nothing to do with the Wilson recruitment from the way I understand it. 

I haven’t heard of those comments having any effect on recruitments at his point. Those comments also took place way after the fact that I heard things went south with Wilson.

Oh well, thats different from what I heard. Maybe they circle back later if things change. Maybe not. Its a shame if not. He could be a very special player at the next level.
