Coppell DE Solomon Thomas Eliminates Texas

Yes, but a few of the recruits Franklin has flipped are from his former school in Vanderbilt if I recall. If Strong flips a couple Louisville players we will be in the same boat. Completely different variables to try and compare Strong and Franklin. Also, Franklin is in the same region as his recruiting base. Makes it much easier to flip recruits. Strong has to try and flip his recruits from half way across the country in a short timeframe.

Vrabel was his lead recruiter at tOSU until he left to take a job with the Texans. Same thing that happened to them happened to us. He's already been accepted to Stanford and that was a big deal. This has been going Stanford's way for a while.

Tweet from Solomon, "I want to thank Texas for giving the privilege to have them as a choice. Coach Strong and his staff are very impressive. Thank you.God Bless".

I like the kid even if he didn't choose Texas.

Who does Texas have in this class that is or can be a DT? Need inflow of young DT candidates as Jackson is a Sr and Brown is a JR.

About to get a couple DT's in this class it looks like. Poona Ford and Chris Nelson look like they are coming to Texas unless something happens in the next few weeks.

I get Stanford and UCLA, great places to spend four years. But Arkiesaw?

His older sister goes to Arkansas...I thought he had family ties to Stanford but I think I was mistaken. I was told, from the teacher that wrote his letter of recommendation to Stanford, that he's really leaning toward Stanford. I asked why and the reason he gives is he "really loves California". Go figure...I really hoped after visiting with the coaching staff that Strong would close him...
