2016 Recruiting - Week #4


Recommended Posts

i'm just curious as to a TE out of carthage..name Marquiss Guinn...I ever wonder if Strong is persuing him .in the event  if we cannot flip Pettigrew ( which I call that a longshot by the way)  or go hard after Kaden Smith..and what about McTelvin Agim...I wonder how much of a shot we have at him if he decides to stay in Arkansas..just curious

Im with you, If it inspires the new generation to wear the black uni on special occasions then so be it...Evolution may be necessary

 

 

exactly..not only it inspires the new generation longhorn fans that tradition is not only iinspiring a winning attitude ;but  also understand the value of being apart of the Longhorn legacy is about being apart of the 21st century and everybody can be apart of it...now i would go on about how i feel about this but i will bite my tongue...GIT ON DA TRAIN is all i gotta say

Just a WAG (wild azzed guess) on my part but I'll wager he's in the 2015 class as CFS seems dead set on 2 more in 2016

 

 

Black?   Black isn't a school color. . . .you guys might want to jump on TT or Okie Lite's bandwagon.

 

dead set on 2 more in 2016??? ummm where you getting that recruits or what???? you got me lost on that one...and still IMHO what i just said

sometimes i wonder what its like being a football player getting all these offers and it comes down to NSD and you still can't make up your mind..i wonder how much hair on your head is still leftover a how much brain cells you had to lose to figure which school is the best for you...without all the drama

Seeing how genuinely conflicted some kids get can be a painful part of the job. I know the hat game is tired, but there are plenty of Ryan Newsome's out there too.

Oh you can say that again Matt..just the pros and the cons of choosing what program fits a childs needs both academically and atheltics..Ya know it's nice and all to have prospects who come to these campuses just to see what its all about...but, i feel down in the longrun..we as fans need to feel that even some who don't choose University of Texas, we shouldn't feel disappointed but we all as fans should feel obligated and priviledged that at least UT does get the recognition from recruits...I feel for the Ryan Newsome's that are out there in this world that wants to make the right choices..without all the media hype behind it...as long as they have the family support that backs them behind there decision process, the more the merrier it is for them..especially the 2016 year .

I for one am FOR the black uni's.....

No.  Just, no.  What did Charlie say about not being a 'gadget' program?  That's how I see the black uni's - or the 'iced out' uniforms that the Aggies started wearing.  They're 'gadgets' to try and wow the kids.  I'd rather players coming to Texas be wowed by the coaches, the history, the academics, and the success a degree at Texas offers them.  And if that doesn't wow them - then they're probably better off at another program.

 

Maybe I'm too old to get it - but I just don't understand the fascination with alternate uniforms.

It's as simple as saying they're "cool". I understand that the older people get the more they lose touch with what's considered "cool" for younger generations. I'm 28 and I think alts are nice, I wouldn't want to be like Oregon or even Baylor wearing like a 1,000,000 different things, but here and there has the "cool" effect. I understand that there are people my age against them...but the younger guys (for the most part) like them...and since the players are the ones who wear them, and they are just as much a part of the University as anyone else, I have no issues with them having SOME say so.
