2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

[BevoBlake]

Sir you really think he's ours do you know something I don't know. I sure hope you are right.

 

 

Well, like I said. His last visit was to UT. He just had Charlie Strong in his home right before he moves his timeline up.

 

Yes, I think he's a Horn.

 

 

And SHA, isn't speaking as a Horns Homer. He's been calling Malik to A&M for around two weeks or so. I agree with SHA, I think we have a strong chance here given how the past week has gone before he shut down his recruitment.

Alright, I'll go with that thank you Sir. Just been hearing this other stuff about this Steve dude talking to his dad and saying it's Ole Miss and Tennessee. My first thought it was Texas.

 

Yes, I think he's a Horn.

[Sirhornsalot]

The staff feels like he's a Horn, according to a very good source.

 

That's Hager, Cherry and Kirkland for the middle.

 

I'll say this – I've said Malik to aggy for a while now. However, I don't underestimate Charlie's ability to flip this guy. The strategy being used is effective, I'm told. Sumlin showed up with no clue on a DC. Wasn't received well. Charlie has charted all the defenses that Sumlin has produced and shows all the DCs he's been through in such a short time span. It's, uh, working. Is it enough though?

TE recruiting news:

 

USC got a verbal today from a 4-star TE who was committed to Duke previously. I mention this because USC was/is a finalist for TE prospect Chris Clark.

To take this a step further, Bedford laid out the lack of development of defensive players under Sumlin dating back to his time at Houston through his time as the aggy HC. It's apparent that their plan of attack was to show Jefferson what he would be stepping into if he went there using cold hard facts.

 

It's one thing for a coach to sit there and say he's going to develop you better, but it's completely different when Bedford and to an even greater extent Strong can sit here and rattle off player after player after player that they have signed and developed into an NFL draft pick when their competition hasn't done it anywhere he's been.

 

I still don't think that Jefferson commits to us Friday. I think Sumlin has brainwashed him to an extent as being the guy who's going to turn around the aggy defense. But the fact that Strong and Co have gotten us back as close as we are in a relatively short amount of time tells me all I need to be told. These guys can recruit and they're going to be hell come 2016 and beyond when coaches like Sumlin don't have a relationship advantage like they've had this year.

[Sirhornsalot]

Friend of mine says we're going to get 5-6 commitments in the next two weeks.

Actually it doesn't matter. I am at a bar with draft dos xx and I am all ears.

Sumlin says hey that's not fair, he's using facts. I would have loved to have seen that exchange.  From the articles I've read about Malik, relationships seems to be the most important part of his decision. Sumlin had a recruiting head start on Malik since Coach Strong was at Louisville. MJ also has a good relationship with the aggie LB coach, plus his friends and his girlfriend are at A&M.

 

If Malik makes this a football decision, Texas is much better choice as far as getting the best of Malik's ability and helping him go to the NFL Coach Strong's first recruiting class at Louisville had two NFL defensive players that went in the first round and they were both three star recruits.

 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Is your friend Nostradamus?

 

 

No, but is close with someone on the staff. He's drinking, but IMO that just makes him feel he can say more. lol

 

I'd be comfortable saying 3-4 in two weeks. If Malik chooses Texas, then the guy might be drinking the right kind of bourbon.

Tell him to have a shot and call you back

If you are drinking with him load him up and keep the info rolling. Then we will consult in a few weeks and see if he was worth the drinks you bought!

Yea, those nasty facts.

 

Sumlin tells Malik that doesn't matter that there's no DC, position coach will remain the same. Oh, is that right? lol

 

So now aggy has to hire a DC that will agree to that?

 

I should have edited my previous post on this. It was actually Vance Bedford who did the charts and info collection. I hear it was impressive. Showed how Sumlin's defenses have done, how many that were supposed to go to the league did not. Showed how many DCs he goes through. THEN - showed how Charlie has put guys in the league, consistently. Showed how well Charlie's defenses have done and how players were developed.

 

Yea, Malik has a strong relationship with Sumlin. But that presentation had to make him think twice, if he's a thinking man.

 

We'll see how it plays out.

[Hiphopopotamos]

FWIW - 247 is reporting that Muschamp is going to accept the DC position at Auburn and will be taking his DB coach along with him. This should all but eliminate Florida as a potential suitor for Tim Irvin.

That's fantastic news. Big hurdle for us just got removed.

Based on your post...and your posts are solid...I am liking our chances with Malik.  With Strong and his coaching

staff, Texas IS going to win big again and put those who are capable into the NFL. It's inevitable.

Have we been in contact with the receiver from Navasota ? I thought he either broke or was close to breaking the TD record. Sorry I dont remember his name.
