2022 Recruiting Board/Thread

I was hoping for 2 Kate's.

Honestly, this hasn't been a terrible week.  Texas picked up a commit from a RB nobody saw coming a week ago.  This closes the book on the RB room for 2022.  

Okay, so they didn't get a surprise commit from T. Brooks, but no one really expected him in this class a couple of weeks ago.  Denver Harris is the big CB get.

And they didn't get Cam Williams. Admittedly, i thought this one was going to be a get for them, but all will be good if they land 2 tomorrow/today. 

IF they get the 2 tomorrow, then that will be 3 commits in one week and all will be vital to this class.  That is a pretty good week.  If they only get 1 of 2, then it's still been good, but not pretty good.  It's all about perspective and the process.

Back in the late 80s, when I used to get up early to buy the Dallas Morning News with a quarter - the first Thursday in February to see who we got.... Texas was the perennial brides-made for the best of the best.  We could have been a dream team if we landed half of the Jesse Armstead’s  who announced on signing day and came down to Texas or:  Miami, Florida St, Notre Dame, et al....  This feels like that.

I’ll go with the “it’s a process” theory and “it really was a good week.”  But I’ve got a foot on the proverbial ledge.

I remember those days,also how bout the weekly carton by Blackie Sherrod in  Herald about old SWC.

I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to play for Mackovic if I were a defensive player.

IMO, Cam is not of the guys they were counting on in this class.

Good luck to Cam in Oregon.

The staff felt good enough to turn Sexton away.

 

[TexCoyote]

What time are the commitment(s) today?

Let’s hope it’s a big ugly!

I totally get and understand where you're coming from.  It was exactly the same thing for me (looks like we're the same time). The main thing that is waaay different, I didn't give two craps about college football recruiting in July back then...only in February.  If this was Dec-Feb,  I would have one foot on the ledge with you.  That's what I mean that this is a process.  So much can change between now and the signing day 1.

Wow, if that is the case then Williams burned that bridge down (or would have if I was a coach with Texas). He must have told the staff something that they believed / thought it was going to be Texas. I would never let my kid do that, because you never know when that will come back to bite you in the ass.

Good luck to him Oregon.

J Mac  was coaching in the late 80's?

Hudson very good chance. Robertson very good chance to be a treehugger.

Mac was at Illinois prior to Texas.  I believe he came to Texas in the early 90's (91 or 92 sounds right) .  In the 80's it was the Akers and McWilliams show.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Robertson very good chance to be a treehugger.

Don't put any money on that.

Your right it was David McWilliams which wasn't a good choice either.

Cam was not why Sexton was turned away.

Hey now, maybe this is the year to break the Stanford curse.  Texas just did it in the Directors Cup...so
