2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

GREAT quote from an anonymous recruit about the difference between the old staff and new staff (OrangeBloods):

"Coach Strong is very respectful in the way he's doing it. The main thing, anybody could tell, the vibe I got wasn't good (in conversations with the previous staff). I just didn't feel it. ... The atmosphere just felt staged, almost too set up. It kind of felt dead. Ninety-nine percent of that was just representing how the program was dying down, that they needed a change. Now that these guys are here, it's different. I'm anxious to see how the season goes this year."

ABSOLUTE MUST READ>>>Full recap of the Longhorns junior day. One commit, five new offers extended. http://t.co/FTj5uJkZt1

Highlights for those that can't read this article (24/7):

-OL Patrick Vahe says he's "110% committed to Texas" at this point.

-OL Connor Lanfear said he enjoyed meeting Wickline, but he's still a soft verbal. My opinion is we see him flip to A&M pretty soon as he's always liked them, but it's hard to tell if mutual interest is truly there and if UT may like other prospects more.

-RB Jordan Stevenson is unsure if he'll take a visit to Alabama next week after bonding with the new staff.

-S Johnny Shaw is another prospect who says he is firmly committed to UT.

-Texas supposedly made up a ton of ground with CB Kris Boyd and is back in serious consideration.

-Another prospect UT made up huge ground with is OL Toby Weathersby.

-2016 TE Kaden Smith and his father are now saying UT is a realistic option for them after being just another school before they got to Austin yesterday.

Quote from OL Ronnie Major of Huntsville after flipping to Texas yesterday (24/7):

“Texas is the best of the best,” Major said. “It's the nicest place I've ever seen. Once I saw it, I knew I had to flip.”

I don't know if he showed yesterday, but I've seen a couple of posts here and there hinting that Texas and ATH KeKe Coutee will most likely go their separate ways.

MAX_olson: Multiple junior days visitors told me Texas is planning to host an elite quarterbacks camp this summer.

Eight offers and one commit later, UT's Junior Day is in the books. And Strong and his staff made a statement: http://t.co/1WFlKHy4iK

Posted a review similar to this earlier. This one has a few nuggets that the other did not offer. Great read. Not a pay site so it should be available to all.

Desoto, Texas 2016 QB Tristen Wallace
Simple message but makes one wonder if he's been in contact with the Texas staff lately and where they stand with one another.

More quotes from DE Charles Omenihu of Rowlett (OrangeBloods):

"What stood out to me was the weight room. It's really, really a good place and I feel like you can get a lot of work done with that. It's huge, the best I've ever seen in my life," Omenihu said. "I felt like as soon as I stepped in here, I loved it. The atmosphere here, coach (Charlie) Strong, coach (Chris) Rumph, it really makes it a place you want to be."

"They're number one on my list. I know I have other schools coming after me but right now Texas is number one on my list," Omenihu said.

"Coach Rumph and coach Strong (stood out). Basically the whole staff. They really came in and disciplined the whole team," Omenihu said. "They really have a plan, and a plan to me that would work."

"I feel like I would love to be here. Why would I not want to be here? Like they said when they were talking, 'Why not Texas? Why would someone not want to be here?'"

"I'm a pass rusher, a guy who is really intense and can run to the ball from sideline to sideline," Omenihu said. "I have long arms, really can't be blocked when I put strength on me. I can improve on my pass rushing moves, my hips and my strength."

"It could be fairly early," Omenihu said about a potential decision.

Chatter this morning that DE Charles Omenihu pulls the trigger this afternoon.

He visited OK State yesterday but left without an offer.
