2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[ThePop]

Per Inside Texas, LB Cameron Townsend will make his announcement at 2 p.m. Sunday at his house.

OU or Texas.

Surprisingly no one has predicted OU on his 247 page. I think it's closer than people think.

The basketball program just picked up a commitment from Kerwin Roach of North Shore High School. Supposedly he is best friends with 2016 Safety prospect Eric Monroe of North shore High School also. Pretty sure this has a significant impact on Eric Monroe's decision.

Gotta land at least one of those three big-time safeties; Deontay, Monroe and B. Jones.

Mack blew a lot of recruiting decisions. I also remember Joey Bosa, who was freshman All American for Ohio St last year, emphatically talking about his interest in Texas. What I don't remember is Texas ever returning the interest. The kid was a 5 or 4 star coming out of high school at a position that we really needed depth in. Smh...

Update on TE Chris Clark of Avon, CT who has set his official visit to Texas for December 6th (24/7):

“I wouldn’t be thinking about other schools right now if it wasn’t for what’s going on at Michigan,” Clark said. “To me, it’s almost embarrassing what’s going on with the program and what they’re putting out on the field, which is why I’m doing what I’m doing.”

“This is one of these decisions where it’s out of my hands,” Clark said. “I’m not going to go to a school where there is a new staff, and I have no idea who they are. I had a great relationship with these coaches at Michigan, and it’s one that I developed over a long period of time. And if it changes, I have every right, just like all the other commits in the class do, to look elsewhere.”

“I’m really excited about the visit,” Clark said. “I love Coach Strong, and both my mom and dad do. I think it’s just a good opportunity in (Texas’) offense to come in early and do some good things. (The coaching staff) did a lot with tight ends at Louisville and they want to do a lot with tight ends at Texas. But they don’t really have too many right now and they just need to develop the ones they have. I think in a year or two, the tight ends are going to be really good thing in the offense.”

“I really want to go to an offense where the quarterback can throw the ball and is a pass-first type of guy,” Clark said. “I know (Tyrone) Swoopes can run really well, but he does have a pretty strong arm. With coach (Shawn) Watson, who is a great quarterback coach, I think he’s going to continue to develop him.”

“I want to find an offense where I can play standing in the slot or also set the edge in like a power or stretch,” Cark said. “I love being in the open field and stretching it vertically. And I think Texas really wants that and thinks they can do that. Their offense is a pretty good fit of what I want to do. You have to be a complete tight end, and I think they offer that.”

West Virginia game will be 2:30 p.m. on Fox Sports 1.

Hamm has a long update regarding Daylon Mack and Malik Jefferson after their TCU visit.

"What this official visit did more than anything was open Mack’s mind to seeing other schools. In fact, look for Daylon to take officials to Baylor, Texas and possibly LSU."

Also, apparently Ohio State can't take Malik Jefferson for an official visit (I'm not entirely sure why), so that opens up an OV for Jefferson that could very well be Texas that would get that OV.

Tough loss for the Cowboys but the MNF game sure had a shade of burnt orange all throughout. Of course Colt got attention for his play and ability to lead the team to victory; Keenan Robinson had 10 tackles and was credited with the sack that knocked Romo out of the game; Henry Melton recorded 2 sacks against Colt. Prior to kickoff Cowboys inactive DT Chris Whaley and Colt were seen conversating; Jackson Jeffcoat and now injured Brian Orakpo also on Redskins team. Great representation.

Recent quote from ATH DeAndre McNeal (24/7):

"I've been there (Texas) two times. Coach Strong- I talked to him on Wednesday. He told me on the first play of the game when they play Notre Dame next year, he said he's going to dump me the ball. He's saying they don't want to redshirt people and want me on the field ASAP and become a huge playmaker for the program. That's something I'm looking forward to. I want to get on the field as quick as I can."

Not surprised. Cherry will probably have an offer soon as well. All the Florida DB's that was offered, had been "followed" by multiple Texas coaches on Twitter. Cherry is one of the few that actually is followed by Strong himself before he was/is offered.

I like him!

[Bloeddyr10]

Texas is not directly involved, but Malik Jefferson is, to some degree.

A&M's 24/7 site, doesn't count on DC Mark Snyder to return after LSU game. Remember, Malik Jefferson almost removed Texas from consideration when Diaz was fired, because he appreciate a good/deep relationship with the DC and didn't think he would/cold get that with Greg Robinson. Hagan is the LB coach there, so I don't know if it will have big impact on Jefferson, but it's something to think about.

“Pretty much I just told my coach that Texas was one school that I would love to keep in contact with and meet all of the coaches and everything and Charlie Strong is a great coach and even better person."

“So my coach tried to reach out to him, sent a couple of emails, and Coach Strong actually called my coach and told me that they were looking over my film and then today my coach texted me about the good news.”

“I definitely watched him at Louisville. I love his coaching style. He is definitely a great leader and not only a coach, but a great mentor. My head coach here in high school, he went down to the coaching clinic where Charlie Strong was coaching some of our coaches and they kept saying how good of a person he is.”

“I definitely would love to get on the campus," he said. "I was actually looking into the game on Nov. 8 against West Virginia. That is probably the one game I’m going to really look into going to."

lol longhorn superfans who didn't even go to school there

I have a friend who is exactly this. He contributes, has season tickets, and keeps up with all th Twitter stuff. So between this board, and ths friend, I can get info. He always liked Texas even as a music major at NT. Personally I have no problem with this.

I got 6.5 years in Austin and 2 degrees. But he is more of a fan than I am. I was more into classes than football. So, I welcome the real fan. Now the guy who picks up the shirt because of the VY championship and then dumps the colors when it suits the circumstances...

Posters on Texags are also mentioning Ole Miss, which it seems might be the favorite for Damarkus Lodge as well. There was also this comment on Texags:


Damn ole miss and these cedar hill kids. Some folks think Gonzales and/or Quincy A. (a former commit who went to ole miss) is bad mouthing the program to them.

[TFloss32]

Per OrangeBloods, WR John Burt of Tallahassee, FL will be at Auburn this weekend for their game against A&M.
I don't see us hanging on to him.

[texbound]

I don't see us hanging on to him.

I've already counted him as being gone. I look to our WR position for next year and think we have some talent with Foreman, Leonard, Bernard, and Joe to go along with M. Johnson, D. Johnson, J. Warrick (that's not even including Oliver or G. Gray in that mix). Would be nice to have a another big, physical WR (like Leonard could be), but I think we will be ok at that position especially if we can nab Clark, Gragg, or another top TE

I ran across these impressive stats for 2015 RB Chris Warren:

Hopefully we'll get clarity at some point, but I have seen rumors he's following a girl.

Inside Texas talks about Coach Strong getting rid of banquet weekend:

Charlie Strong has done away with the antiquated and boorish banquet weekend. Instead he'll honor seniors and their families in a more intimate, Strong conducive setting. One of the main functions of the banquet was as a gathering point for recruits to mingle with current players and seeing what the Longhorn atmosphere is all about. Do you think Strong wants to celebrate this season?

I caught up with someone in the know:

"You now know well that Strong doesn't care for in-season official visits. He'd rather deal with prospects person-to-person where he feels he connects better than during the hustle and bustle of gameday. The plan is to have a big weekend in December and then another one later in January. The December one will be an attempt to get Jefferson and anyone else who wants to visit with him since he announces later that month. The staff just wants the same crack with him in that setting as other coaches. There will be commits interspersed on each weekend for obvious reasons. The one in January will likely be for guys who are strong commits and any late offers or last gasp attempts before signing day. It will be interesting to see when they want the guys who might be wavering to visit. Early to try and solidify them, or late to get last crack at them. To be clear, Charlie did give players the option to take officials earlier but urged them to wait for later."

Jason Sehorn had some nice things to say about Coach Strong today on ESPN:

“That (video of the postgame celebration) gives me goosebumps because I know what he went through in trying to change the culture the first month that he was there,” Sehorn said. “And we talked about it, is he going to have the time to change the culture at Texas to be what he needs it to be? Are they going to allow him to lose to do this? And they had to struggle this year by suspending 12 players."

“But he had to weed out some of the people that aren’t buying in. That there, what you saw, says the kids that are in the program buy in. They bought,” Sehorn said. “The fact that they are still competing … because they’re not a good team right now. I mean, at quarterback they’re challenged, they’ve got a pretty solid defense. But they’re not an elite team. And they went up against West Virginia and manhandled them because you get the sense these young men are buying into the program that he’s trying to build, which has to be a positive for the alumni and everybody else around. Just give this guy the time that he needs and he’ll turn it around.”

“He has an idea of what he wants that program to be, Aad when he got there, he went about enacting it,” Sehorn said. “He had to construct it, and it was tough. When you suspend 12 players and kick a bunch off, that’s not easy to do, especially when you’re not playing well. It’s very difficult to come into a situation and do that. But I think he just realized the only way to get us where we need to be is to go rock bottom. And for Texas, trying to get bowl eligible their last two games is rock bottom. And they don’t want to be there for very long. But I don’t think they were ever going to get back to where they were, without going there first."

“To his credit, he’s doing it his way,” Sehorn said. “And ultimately, if you lose your job, all you want to be able to say is ‘I did the best that I could do. And my way of doing it is this way. And if we’re going to be successful, it’s like this.’ And the kids are buying in.”

[TFloss32]

Update on LB Cecil Cherry of Lakeland, FL (24/7). Turns out Cherry's brother played with OL Desmond Harrison at Contra Costa CC in San Pablo, CA, so they've known each other for some time. He mentioned having Harrison and his "brother" (DT Chris Nelson) at Texas gives them an advantage over Tennessee. He's recently followed a ton of Texas people on his Twtter as well:

“Coach Strong spoke the truth,” Cherry said. “I had a wonderful time. There’s opportunity there. Coach Strong doesn’t talk about it. He shows you. I had a great time. It was a live atmosphere.”

“I’m still with the Vols,” Cherry said.

“I’m not sure (if I will sign with Tennessee),” Cherry said. “I’m not going to speak on that. I’m going through the (recruiting) process.”

“The town (Austin) is beautiful,” Cherry said. “I had a wonderful time and enjoyed it.”

“It was fun,” Cherry said of the game. “They have a good atmosphere. I had a great time.”

“All of them (recruits from Florida) loved it,” Cherry said.

“Everyone is in good shape,” Irvin said. “I’m just open.”

"Heck yeah!! What an experience."

"People and recruits need to give Strong a chance," said DeMarco. "I loved the game, the atmosphere, and Austin overall. Texas has so much to offer."

Why do you say that?

Everything I have read suggests he is ready to move on with life after football.

@ Longhorn_FB: With Reed’s 3 sacks vs. WVU, #Longhorns only team in nation - 4 players with 4.5-plus sacks (Ridgeway-5.0; Brown-4.5; Edmond-4.5; Reed-4.5).

Awesome stat. Hope those defensive recruits realize the potential of future defenses.

Oklahoma State game will be at 6:30 p.m. on FOX.

Saturday forecast is freezing temperatures in Stillwater.

That's a pretty big stage for a pretty inconsequential game.

Something to keep an eye on...DE Charles Omenihu made a random tweet from Phoenix earlier this morning.

Is he at Arizona State this weekend?

Per Rivals, DE Charles Omenihu did take a visit to Arizona State over the weekend.

Would be shocked if UT made it.

Kid soured on Texas big time for some reason.

He wasn't very happy about the staff and their priorities. Every time he was in Austin he was with a GA and he never really founded a relationship with an actual coach.

I have seen some comments from him like that, but he had glowing reviews of UT after the Junior Day specifically. He was ready to commit.

Then things did a 180 this past summer and I don't think he's even mentioned UT since.

Yeah, he specifically mentioned the coaching of Vaughn/Bedford during a camp as a highlight...Mom liked Strong, etc.

Then the 180...not sure what happened in this one.

Here is Jared Maydens comments about excluding Texas when he released his top 10 back in July, from 24/7.

"Texas was my first offer, and I have a lot of respect for the program, but the only person still with the program who I really have a relationship with is grad assistant Ephraim Banda. I've been down to Austin several times since the new staff took over, but I just really don't have the bond or closeness with the new staff that I'm looking for in a potential future home."

Two quick notes...

-24/7 saying WR Ryan Newsome of Aledo is attempting to move his January official visit to December 5th. He has already taken four official visits, so UT will get his last one.

-OrangeBloods reporting LB Darrin Kirkland, Jr. of Indianapolis, IN has set up his UT official visit for December 5th.

Starting to look like this will be one of the big recruiting weekends Strong is setting up and it's exactly two weeks before LB Malik Jefferson makes his commitment.

TE Chris Clark of Avon, CT will also be in Austin that weekend.

CB and South Carolina commit Mark Fields has planned a visit to Texas either later this month or in December, per 24/7. He could visit for December 6th as well.

Here is a tweet by LB Darrin Kirkland from this weekend (when he visited Oklahoma). The third guy, OL Drew Richmond, is an Ole Miss commit who's still looking around. Richmond is the latest guy that Charlie Strong followed on Twitter. Maybe Texas is trying to get that "package deal"?

Looks like Richmond followed Mike Giglio (Texas' recruiting coordinator) too.

Maybe he'll be in Austin with Newsome and Kirkland on December 5th.
