2014 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[rjv]

Should David play against OU or any other opponent this season and suffer yet another concussion, I'll have no choice but to believe that Mack weighed uncertain evidence and let self-interest outweigh caution. And I'll use every public forum available to me for as long as I'm around to make sure that decision is stamped front and center on the Mack Brown Legacy. well said. ash should be done for the rest of the year if the issue is another concussion.

[Phillip]

I'm curious what everyone thinks, so question for the board...if it's determined that Ash is done for the year (or more) because of concussions, how would you handle the QB situation? Roll with Case only and save Swoopes' redshirt? Give Case the starts and mix in Swoopes? Prepare Swoopes for 2014 where he may beat out Ash?

I say let Swoopes start playing. I would rather plan the future around Jerrod Heard than Swoopes. Let Swoopes play, have Heard redshirt next year, and when Swoopes is in his senior year, Heard will only be a redshirt sophomore. At that point, either Swoopes should be a highly effective player in his senior year, or Heard is ready to take over.

[Phillip]

I say mix him in. If you go with Case exclusively, you're basically throwing in the towel. You simply can't afford to do that this year. You have to salvage what you can. If the kid is ready, you have to let him play. What if Ash gets hurt next year and you have an inexperienced Swoopes? Besides, you could use a little separation in years between him and Heard. It's early enough in the year that he can get a good amount of playing time and not really "burn" his redshirt. It would be great to have the luxury to sit him, but at this point, anyone that can play needs to see the field.

This. Case is completely worthless, and allows teams to just load 8 in the box all game long. At least Swoopes has an arm to launch downfield for the speed this offense has, as well as running ability. His upside is far greater than what Case can bring to the table, which is absolutely nothing once teams press the receivers and load the box.

This is what we can expect to see in the RRR assuming Ash is out and Case gets the start. Ole Miss finally went this route in the second half and Texas didn't score a point. Case will have trouble doing anything other than handing the ball off against OU.

Bad news all around for the UT program. Henry Melton (ACL) and Sam Acho (Broken Leg) both out for the year.

[TFloss32]

I wonder if Case McCoy is actually the worst D1 QB in the nation.

If you go off of QB rating for 2013 so far, McCoy ranks 94th after Gilbert at 93 (out of 120). Gilbert was second to last in 2012.

Guess who's dead last right now? Taysom Hill of BYU who went VY on Texas. Just ridiculous.

Manziel, Jameis Winston, Mariota, Vince, Colt, Andrew Luck all redshirted - as did the vast majority of elite college QBs. Yes there are exceptions (I believe RGIII played as a true frosh) but usually the college coaches only play them due to desperation at the position.

The worst thing that can happen to a QB is busted confidence. Just look at David Ash - a guy comes out of high school brimming with confidence and then you throw him in unprepared and he gets pounded b/c it is the hardest position to play mentally and physically - then the team and Ash view himself in a lesser light due to having some poor games and that attitude is hard to get rid of. I always wonder how Ash would have panned out had he gotten a full year to develop.

You only play a guy out of desperation and that's why I'm afraid Mack does play him this year - which will be a mistake long term. Especially considering there is no scenario where it would be worth the trade to play him due to how the year has already panned out.

Mack is an absolute idiot for hiring Diaz. Mack's search process for hiring Diaz was ridiculous to put it mildly.

Mack Brown: I called a bunch of people who think I'm an idiot, and asked them who the best DC in your conference is? They said Manny Diaz, I wonder why they were laughing?

Mack deserves to get shit canned, and to lose all the legacy he has created.

I don't disagree with what you said, but a good thing might be to get him some playing time in a good situation much like Florida did with Tim Tiebow, create a package of plays he can run effectively.

Latest coaching rumors, Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Greg Schiano has been in talk with Texas regents.

[TFloss32]

Update on 2016 RB Kameron Martin of Port Arthur Memorial (24/7):

“I was told to call up Coach Porter to talk about my recruitment,” said Martin. “We talked and he sounded very happy to speak with me. He said he’s seen what I can do and has seen my stats and he said he is very impressed with me."

“We talked for a little bit,” he added. “We cut up for a while and talked about football and school. That’s when I told him I want to develop a relationship with him and the other coaches at Texas. He told me he’s going to make sure that happens.”

“I really hope they offer me,” Martin said of Texas. “There’s no doubt it would mean a lot to get that offer and it would change a lot of things. I would try to jump right on that offer. Texas is my dream school.”

“You know, they (Texas) have just had a bad start,” said Martin. “It happens. They’ll just overcome that though. It is conference time now for them. I think that now they know it’s time to buckle up and get things right. Take what comes and beat it."

“It’s sort of the same thing we are going through at my school,” he added. “We lost two games in non-district play just like they lost their two in non-conference play. We know it’s time to go out there and win now that we’re in district though. So I know where they’re coming from. Those losses they have don’t affect me or my feelings for Texas at all.”

“I would love it (to attend a UT game),” Martin said. “I hope they invite me there soon and I will be there for sure. I want to go to a game badly.”

Shaw of Stanford was being mentioned but he seems to be a Stanford lifer until he receives an NFL opportunity.

Inside Texas seems to have pretty solid insider sources on the coaching search and internal workings for those interested in following that stuff closely. I give them a lot of credibility on their sources as they've nailed several stories to excruciating detail such as the Saban news that just broke (they reported way back in January exactly what happened); not to mention a lot of other updates that have panned out as they reported.

To summarize some of their recent updates, they say that the big money donors have stepped up and have taken over on a massive 'pro-change' front and the guys that have always backed Mack (McCombs, Jamail) are finally stepping aside to let it happen as the momentum is just too strong at this point. They claim it is a given this is Mack's final year no matter how the season pans out. Also notable it sounds like Deloss and Mack will have no influence on who the next coach will be.

Also some other interesting news they reported - Greg Abbott (almost certain to be next governor) is pro-UT football and wants to bring the program back to elite level and they had some good insight on how he will likely bring some very positive change to athletics dept. It certainly helps having a guy like that in the capital instead of an Aggie that has ulterior motives.

All in all it sounds like some much needed changes are on the way - and they should be drastic.

Very interesting insights. Thanks for the update Chronic. While I am no fan of Abbott it is good to know he supports the program and I would assume the university as a whole. I certainly had my fears that somehow Perry was out to diminish UT's academic reputation.

Thanks again!

Some of the changes being pushed by Rick Perry would destroy UT as a top research University de-value the degrees offered and cause most of their top faculty to leave for other schools. Perry has an agenda and he has been working to place his people in key positions within UT, his goal is to oust President Powers, and replace him with someone that will forward his agenda.

Another interesting tidbit from Inside Texas...they're saying at least one of the reasons OL Desmond Harrison isn't seeing playing time is because he and Searels aren't getting along. Because of that, Harrison hasn't been putting forth much effort in practices since he doesn't think Searels will play him anyway.

Sadly, he probably does. He will try to build a case based on the fact he fired Diaz and he has had to deal with a ton of injuries specifically injuries to Ash. It wouldn't surprise me if Ash is his scape goat.

I hope Ash's parents are taking a very close look at this situation and taking it (the decision to play Ash) away from Mack and his staff. I personally don't want to see him take another head shot and it destroy his career just so Mack can try and save his job.

Hearing from a pretty damn good source that the 'resignation' is because Babers was confronted by Mack over his overt criticism of the program in recent weeks. Apparently UT has power over who fills the role and Babers stood his ground and promptly resigned when pushed that he could not be so negative. I've always heard Mack was obsessed with controlling outside messaging, but I really hope what I'm hearing about this isn't true because it is completely pathetic if so.

From Inside Texas...four head coaches (Saban, Strong, Muschamp and Briles) and/or their agents have been in contact with UT in the past two weeks. One coach has been offered $8 million per year and the others have been offered what Mack is currently making (approx $5 million per year). Each guy has been told they'll basically have a blank check to assemble their staff. President Powers has been in touch with several big money guys recently to assure them that things are changing and the new head coach should be in place by the end of the year.

From what I've heard, Jack Del Rio's not currently a top candidate for #USC (http://www.spurstalk.com/search?q=%23USC&src=hash) job

[TheMex]

He won't. If Saban really does decide that he doesn't want to start over then Strong is the next head coach.
Only way I can see Saban coming to Texas is if the Fluker rumors continue and the NCAA hammer Alabama. Strong would be awesome. I wouldn't mind Briles, he is the new Chip Kelly.

I really like this random tweet from this dude:

[TFloss32]

So they would fire Mack mid season?

I don't think anyone expects that and I think the exit plan is being worked on. I see it going something like this:

1.) Mack coaches out the season
2.) Announce retirement after OU if it's a beatdown, at the latest before the Thanksgiving game (last home game)
3.) Timing of announcement for the new head coach is based on Texas' bowl situation, Mack coaches if Texas makes a bowl

[TFloss32]

Not sure who originally reported, but starting to see a lot of reports that Ash is out for Iowa State.

I've always thought that the Banquet Weekend would be ideal to inform recruits and players that he would step down. But that might be too late.

[Vito Corleone]

The smart thing for Mack to do is retire, if he does that he can keep his status within the program, keep his contract money and take a cushy spot within the AD's office where all he has to do is hang out with the big cigars and speak at high school coaches conventions. For all of his failings, Mack can be a great ambassador for the University.

[Vito Corleone]

He won't. If Saban really does decide that he doesn't want to start over then Strong is the next head coach.

I'd be extremely happy with Strong, but I'd prefer Briles for a few reasons.

1. I want a offensive minded HC, strong is a defense guy.
2. Briles is more in touch with recruiting in Texas, we need to again close the borders.
3. You gain the biggest recruiting momentum when you get commitments from top offensive players, Briles can do that.
4. I want to see what Briles can do with a top notch coaching staff.

I love Briles, and he has been a favorite of mine for quiet some time now. But how much of difference would there be from Briles' offense to what Philip Montgomery would field? Montgomery is, right now, my favorite to the OC job. He's been learning under Briles since they were at Houston and I would imagine there offenses would be quiet similar.

Otherwise I agree with most of what you say. The borders needs to be closed. But if you hire two coordinators from Texas, could that do the job? I, to, wants to see what Briles can do with a top notch staff. I could imagine/hope he would bring a few of his Baylor coaches with him to run the offense. But just as much as I would see that, I would want see Strong with the same resources.

I love the fact that there is so "many" coaches who would please me, and of the most mentioned names, I don't see anyone I would be upset with. But one thing I do know; If they get an offensive minded coach, they better pay a lot money for a top DC. And the other way around.

Briles or Strong? I would be ecstatic with both.

[TFloss32]

More injury updates from UT:

OL Josh Cochran is out and WR Mike Davis is a game-time decision.

[TFloss32]

I've always thought that the Banquet Weekend would be ideal to inform recruits and players that he would step down. But that might be too late.

My thought is they'll want to do it before the last home game to give Mack a nice send-off during Thanksgiving on national TV and try to turn all of the negativity into a positive. That's the ideal platform, imo.

I think Mack needs to be as far away as possible if you're attempting a culture overhaul. I doubt a guy like Saban or Muschamp agrees to coach UT if they know Mack is lurking in the athletic department.

Forget about Briles. Let's just say the decision makers at Texas won't consider him b/c they don't consider him a man of integrity on many issues. Not making allegations of them paying players, but more negative recruiting, etc (yes lots of coaches negative recruit but I think we're talking about crossing the line and the excessive nature).

24/7 had a small piece of info on QB David Ash this morning. They spoke to two sources about his current status. The first source says the plan is for him to play against OU. The second source is out of Belton (Ash's hometown) and they're saying he'll be out for OU with no timeline for his return. Makes you wonder what and who was involved in the decision to play him against K-State. He did not travel with the team to Iowa State.

It's still just Iowa State. Even if they know it's coming, I think you still line up with two tight end sets and go smash mouth for four quarters.

Gray should have touched the ball 30 times, imo.

Here's more evidence that would overturn the call.

1) The whistle to blow the play dead was about a second after Iowa State was running the other way.
2) Texas' knee wasn't down at the time of the fumble.
3) The ref (before the review) states the runner was "down by contact" NOT that the runner's forward progress was stopped. The video evidence shows Iowa State with the ball before the runner's knee hits the ground.

It's a bit of a harder play to call than people suggest. I would probably be mad if I was am Iowa St fan. But it was just so messy, plus the argument could be made that the forward progress rule should have been called.

[TFloss32]

Statement from the Big XII on last night's officiating:

"In accordance with Big 12 Conference protocol I have reviewed several plays from last night's Texas at Iowa State football game. Those plays include the personal foul penalty called in the endzone against Texas wide receiver Mike Davis, and the goal line play late in the game.

The ruling made on the goal line play was that the runner was down by rule with the ball. Because of that ruling, instant replay is allowed to review the play, which it did. Had the ruling on the field been forward progress, the play would not be reviewable because the goal line was not involved. The Replay Official looked at all five views available for this play: Line Feed, Goal Line cart, Press Box angle, Sky Cam, and Opposite End Zone camera. He correctly determined there was no indisputable video evidence to confirm that either the ruling on the field was correct, or that the ball was loose prior to the runner being down. By rule when there is not indisputable video evidence to confirm or change the call on the field, the ruling stands.

On this play, the covering official ruled the runner was down and still had control of the ball. There is no question the runner ends up on the ground, and there is no question that eventually an Iowa State player ends up with the ball. However, after reviewing the video evidence it is impossible to tell with certainty when the runner loses control of the ball and at that point was he down or not.

The conference would acknowledge in this unique situation if a mistake were made, but we do not have the video evidence to prove that one occurred.

The play involving Mr. Davis is being addressed in accord with the Conference's Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Policy."

[rjv]

i have to agree with the big XII's decision. now, if i had been an ISU fan, maybe i'd be less inclined to think so but from someone who had neutral interest i'd say there was nothing egregious about the call.

There was no need for the block, and especially at knee level. You don't have to hear a whistle that far away from the play. Mack is getting desperate to defend players that he has coached so poorly.

Off topic, but I strongly dislike Mack Brown for not even attempting to recruit Jameis Winston at all. He is putting up ridiculous numbers. Guy plays like a talented redshirt senior.:bang

Even if we found out that the whole Winston thing was all talk, Mack has never wanted any part of a tough recruiting battle. That's one thing I'm most looking forward to is the new regime's recruiting strategy. I do hope Patrick Suddes is retained because he's the main reason Texas has had any momentum at all.

RUMOR

From a reputable guy on OrangeBloods, Mack has supposedly been asked to expedite his resignation. The Sunday or Monday after OU is what he's hearing.

Spoke with a friend who attends TCU this fall. He talked to a guy who's a Texas alumni and now he's a booster, at some level. He says that they haven't been told anything, and usually they are the first to know. Take it for what it's worth.

Rumor out there that USC has intentions on pulling Sumlin from Texas A&M.

Source?
FOX, CBS and ESPN have all named him as a top target along with Del Rio.

Well, yeah. But the way he worded it made it seem as if they were about to offer him.

[DMX7]

If Kevin gets offered, he's gone. His personality fits SoCal too tbh, so I think he would be a decent choice.

Lol.. Maybe u being paranoid about Sumlin leaving lead to ur misinterpretation of what I said. But I'm pretty sure that the two parties have discussed a possible offer but it may be a while before that's actually reported and confirmed.

Or maybe you "reporting" week old news made me think you had something new.

[Vito Corleone]

Your Paranoid

And you should be, the only thing your program has ever had worth a damn is about to be taken from you.

[Blake]

Meh. I think Sumlin is overrated here.

Not as big a blow losing him as people are making it out.

[Vito Corleone]

We will find out next year, one way or another because Manziel will be gone so if he stays he will prove to either be a fantastic coach or a pretender. I actually think he is a damn good coach.

Im sorry. I hadn't seen it posted and I thought it was relevant news so I shared it. I didn't know that relevant news older than a week couldn't be posted on this sight. That sucks for the people who have lives and may not have heard the reports before the week deadline that you've enforced, Dammit! Oh well, I guess the rules are the rules. If u send me the rule book I'll make sure to follow the guidelines to the T ma'am. But I understand your sensitivity towards this topic. To see ATM's small window of relevance come, and the potential for it to go so quickly has probably been stressful enough to have a negative effect your menstrual. So I sympathize. Have a nice day.

Don't mind Sisk...he's just worried that bene gonna send him to the tree of woe.

Yeah, not like Sumlin isn't known for bolting when his best player leaves :lol

[Bloeddyr10]

24/7 claims that 2015 5-star DE Jashon Cornell of Cretin Derham Hall (Mn.) has been offered. ESPN rates him as the number one player in the country in the class of 2015.
