Chitownhorn Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Recruiting experts n HornSports, now that Malik in on the 40 acres how many other top recruits flip to Texas and can this all of a sudden become a top 5 recruiting class? I'm just curious, I follow recruiting from a safe distance but get the feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Texas Golfer Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm not a recruiting expert but the next 45 days could get very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utisdabomb12 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm not an expert, but Boyd is pretty much a lock now. I think we can make a run at Mack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEsch Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think that we can get into the top 10 for sure. Top 5 would be icing on the cake. Momentum, can be a beautiful thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillohorn Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I am eating crow today as I had Malik not giving the Horns a chance. A great catch for Strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randolph Duke Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 After everything that has gone on today, how can anyone call himself a "recruiting expert?" Even Charlie Strong is just along for the ride at this point. At best, you will find a recruiting reporter. No one knows what is going to happen next at this point. Wild damned day. java 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongviewLobo01 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 There are a lot of things that could happen not just with us, but with other schools around the country. It's so hard to predict how things will finish. Just trying to put together a possible list of what Texas ends up with was hard enough yesterday believing that Malik and DeAndre were going to commit elsewhere. And it's even more difficult now with all the momentum from their pledges. We're at 21 commits right now I believe. Burt is a soft at best, but let's assume he sticks. That means there are probably at most 10 spots available and probably not even that many. Guys we are looking pretty hard at: Soso Jamabo Nick Brossette Ryan Newsome Carlos Strickland Gilbert Johnson Devoniare Clarington Chris Clark Daylon Mack Kris Boyd Holton Hill Mark Fields Tim Irvin Devanta Davis That's 13 right there that I thought of off the top of my head. And doesn't include guys like Kyler Murray, Kendall Sheffield, Demarckus Lodge or others who might pop onto the radar down the stretch. The staff is going to have to make some very difficult decisions over the next 5 weeks to figure out who they want and the number crunch that could occur moving forward.

JimR Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 just who are these "recruiting experts?" all those folks who said "Jefferson to Texas" yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Duke Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 just who are these "recruiting experts?" all those folks who said "Jefferson to Texas" yesterday? Lol. My point exactly. And for the ones who had both McNeal and Jefferson to texas, how many of them also got Mack decommitting today? Crazy damned day for everyone. And it isn't over yet.

streettopeschel Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 just who are these "recruiting experts?" all those folks who said "Jefferson to Texas" yesterday? better than the ones who said he was 100% aggy and crapped on every thread .

GBT Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Its some good tasting crow with orange sauce on it. LOL.... I really figured MJ was 100% Aggy ( I think he was until very late ). Can't really exhale just yet. Not until the kid (s) sign on the dotted line in February, or enroll for the Spring semester. 18 year old minds can change overnight...(FedEx packages, etc....) LOL If this kid hangs with us, it may well be the biggest and most influential recruiting coup for Charlie Strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongviewLobo is one of my favorite posters, and doesn't post ofter enough...but Lobo forgot Chris Warren, a very important piece of the Longhorn puzzle. Hook 'em!
