2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[Sisk]

Jefferson to texas surprised me. Mack decommitting was expected. But Murray to texas? I would bet money he doesn't go there.

[djohn2oo8]

Bobby told me he won't do this for everyone but he PMd me about the big news. Trust me, it's huge.

According to Eric Nahlin of IT, Kyler's father is no fan of Sumlin. Mr. Murray has reached out to Watson at Texas. He also reached to Malik to talk to Kyler.

Recruiting. Where nothing ever, ever, fucking ever makes sense. Ever.

Yes, they are supposed to talk today.

[Hook Em 88]

Not saying the Kyler and Kevin Murray rumors are false but they're quite hard to believe until Kyler himself suggests that he'll visit Texas or rethink his process. That would put the wheels in motion to him choosing another school and until then it's hard to think he's anything but aggie.

[djohn2oo8]

Land Kyler, then Lodge could come.

[Sisk]

Recruiting. Where nothing ever, ever, fucking ever makes sense. Ever.

Because 95% of the reports are BS. Much like this one.

If Kyler wanted to talk to Malik, he would. He probably already has...

[djohn2oo8]

Aggy scurred..

[Sisk]

More decommits or A&M targets committing to Texas wouldn't surprise me at all. We haven't had DC for three weeks. Malik is such a big deal because it's one of the first big recruits to choose the sips over us in a long time. It's very telling of how recruiting has gone for both programs over the last few years. That being said, Kyler is not going to Texas, period.

I don't think we are out of it with Mack yet. Sheffield should still be ours. Unless Sumlin royally fucks up his DC hire, of course.

:lmao Losing all your recruits to Texas
:lmao Texas = still your daddy

[TFloss32]

Inside Texas also mentioned the one big roadblock is the recent commitment of WR Christian Kirk and the fact that he's an early enrollee. If Murray does decide to de-commit, he wants Kirk to have the opportunity to look around. I'm assuming that's why all of the rumors suggest this would go down pretty quickly if it happens. The report also mentioned Texas has been pushing the Malik/Mack/Murray angle hard to all parties.

I've only been following recruiting for a handful of years, but Mack is one of the worst I've ever seen. The only surprising thing about his decommitment was that it came the same day as the Jefferson announcement. I thought it would take a day or two at least. That guy changes his mind every 5 minutes.

Kyler is obviously looking around. A huge % of recruits at least second guess their decision at some point. Remember Kyler is TIGHT with Mack, Malik and Lodge and back when he committed he thought they'd all end up together - now he is the only one committed to A&M. You can discredit all the reports but where there is smoke there is fire. Still great chance he sticks with A&M.

I think that Kris Boyd is the most likely to be a silent commit out of that group. And if so then you know his brother is along with him as well, so that's 2 spots right there. The last person is a toss up but it definitely should belong to one of the others that you've listed.

I'm not making projections of these guys going to Texas. It was A&M site that reported Kyler was talking to Texas' coaches regularly. He is unlikely to go to Texas (very unlikely) but let's not be naive and say he is not looking around. I would just say Texas has great shot with Mack and is prob a longshot with Lodge or Murray. If I had to guess Mack-LSU, Lodge-Ole Miss, Murray-farmers.

[TFloss32]

If anyone is wondering why we didn't offer JUCO QB Chad Kelly:

Kelly continued to fight with two bouncers and stated “I’m going to go to my car and get my AK-47 and spray this place,” according to a report.

With how important it has been for Mack to play with his friends, it's hard for me to see him going to LSU. I feel like Mack wants to be apart of whatever's hot at the moment and after Kris Boyd commits and other dominoes fall it'll be too tempting not to jump on board, IMO. We already know that Malik is a big draw for him and Malik has full intentions on recruiting him to Texas. I think the top 2 he listed is smoke and mirrors. Now suppose we do get Daylon in the fold, that'll be another impactful commitment that will force Murray and Lodge to seriously consider Texas. At that point, anything can happen.

Good question. Honestly not sure. But this isn't some big raise for Chavis. I still think he signs with LSU, but it would be an incredible get if Sumlin pulls this off. Would make losing out on these recruits worth it. Probably would land Mack with him.

Aggies can take it that way, I saw it as a kid bragging about having Strong as his mentor. But I can see Aggies thinking that it's a tweet about Aggies since all Sumlin has shown is little character as a leader and not having a hold of his asylum.

I wouldn't call it "publicly ripping" A&M or something worthy of labeling him as "classless", "pussy", etc. It's not like he got on Twitter and directly called Sumlin a liar, and that opportunity was definitely there. I think A&M fans are understandably hot because Malik laughed at the Terminator GIF blowing up Kyle Field and Mack de-committed due to Malik's decision. Nothing to see here, imo.

Did I call him a pussy?

How was the opportunity there to call Sumlin a liar? Sumlin, by all accounts, told him absolutely nothing on Wednesday.

[Sisk]

Thanks. Congrats on your first loss of a 5 star to Strong. Seeings how it took less than a year from his hire date, I'm sure the trend will continue.

Took a year to win one major head to head. Congratulations!

[TFloss32]

Aggies can take it that way, I saw it as a kid bragging about having Strong as his mentor. But I can see Aggies thinking that it's a tweet about Aggies since all Sumlin has shown is little character as a leader and not having a hold of his asylum. Love how everything that I've read is Aggies bashing the kid but nobody has ever backed up Sumlin, shows a lot from the Aggies fan base.

The reaction would be similar had Malik simply tweeted out defensive statistics for UT and A&M after his commitment.

There's not much he can say right after his decision that wouldn't get picked apart.

No, and I didn't say you did. I'm speaking on general posts I've seen on A&M sites.

The opportunity was there because Sumlin told him on more than one occasion that A&M would hire a "big time" DC before his decision.

Well I'm sure that was his intention. I'm sure, if possible, he would have his guy the day after Snyder was fired. But as we all know, bonuses are generally realized at year end. We will see who he ends up with, as this is going to be career-defining for him at A&M, but it will be the day after whichever bowl game our future DC will be coaching in (if I had to guess).

Malik committed
DeAndre McNeal committed
Daylon Mack, the guy that created #WRTS hashtag Ags love, de-committed to A&M and could commit to Texas. Regardless a win for Texas.
Kris Boyd almost certain to pick Texas
Holton Hill likely to pick Texas (A&M almost certainly out)
Odds of Sheffiled going down for A&M (I think he picks Bama)
Murray shopping options


Yes A&M has been beating Texas in recruiting, but recruits are seeing that the top DCs out there don't want to hitch the wagon to the Sumlin train and they are seeing that the last few classes for A&M full of 4 and 5 stars is not yielding results on the field.
In summary...

We do agree that this DC hire is extremely important.

I would also argue that hanging on to Murray may be equally as critical.

[Sisk]

Holton Hill has never been a big A&M target. Sheffield is the big DB in this class, and he will be an Aggie. You can have Hill and Boyd, we'll take Sheffield.

Murray will be an Aggie.

Mack isn't going to Texas.

Let's just wait how things play out.
- Longhorns can't ignore how much Aggies kicked Longhorns ass in the recruiting trail the last two years.
- Aggies can't deny that Longhorns have been resurrected from the death on Friday.
- Longhorns like where their class is headed.
- Aggies also are enjoying their class.
- Aggies didn't get a guy who now they realize that they don't want anymore. Aggies victory in their eyes.
- Mack decommitted and now Aggies realize that he is a premadonna and they don't want him anymore, another Aggy victory.

See guys, everyone wins.

[Sdchargersfan1322]

Mack does have a good chance at ending up at Texas, and Murray is far from a lock to stick with A&M.

[Needs More Bourbon]

Seems like no one remembers Ed Freeman or DeShon Elliott, two other H2H wins. More important, even A&M can't put recruiting championships on the stadium walls. It's moral victory pussy shit, like "well, SEC won so we win."

I'm sure you can but I seriously have never seen the father from a recruit telling a fan base to stfu and show more respect. Yes, I'm talking about Mack's dad after a 15+page of bashing the kid on 247. That tells a lot.

[pgardn]

What did he say where he took at shot at A&M coaches? Serious question, because maybe I missed it.

All I've seen him say is basically "attend a university where you can become a man and better football player."

This got AGgIe upset...

Manziel's dad got pissed some Aggie fan on TexAgs and even threatened to fight some guy from there. Just because his dad replied doesn't make it worse somehow. Any recruits parent could go on and reply to any thread with their son getting bashed at any time... doesn't make it any worse.

Good stuff, Bloeddyr.

I think Lampkin improved a lot from his junior to senior year.

[TFloss32]

Per 24/7, CB Kendall Sheffield will make his commitment at the Under Armour game on January 2nd.

Down to A&M, Bama and FSU.

[Vito Corleone]

My money is on Bama

IF, he does chose Bama, it would mean that Bama has come into Texas and taken the top Safety and the top Corner in the state. Is that what the aggsy were wanting when they joined the SEC?

Oh that's right, they don't care who prison rapes them as long as it isn't Texas, Oklahoma, Tech or Baylor.

I was just looking at what Bama fans think of their chances with him and it seems like they have a bunch of DBs committed and very few scholarships left. Florida St thinks that they are running third. So I think that he goes to A&M, it's the smart think for him to do. Play in the SEC and start from day one. Of course, the one thing working against A&M is the lack of DC but I'm sure that they'll get one at some point lol.

Bama IMO. Saban is not afraid to bounce lesser recruits if a better option comes along. And more notably, if it was A&M, why would he not wait to see who the DC is? A&M would hold a spot for him.

[TFloss32]

QB Clint Trickett will not play for West Virginia on Monday against A&M.

He is retiring due to concussions.

When does the dead period end?

[ATX_Horn]

When does the dead period end?

12/15 - 1/14, IIRC

[Vito Corleone]

Dead period is stupid, the one time when these guys have the time to sit down with schools and really get to know each other and the NCAA in their infinite stupidity says no you can't have contact. If someone was to say make it from 12/23 to 1/2 then I'd understand, that is the holiday season and it gives them a chance to be with family but for a whole month does no one any good. It's a disservice to both the kids and their families and the schools.

[DMX7]

After hearing the latest news on Boyd (that he will be announcing his top 5 on Jan 1st :rollin ), I will officially be taking a break from recruiting news for a while.

How do you go from making your commitment on X-mas Day to just releasing your top 5 on new years day, lol?

[TFloss32]

CB Davante Davis of Miami, FL told 24/7 today he already knows where he's committing. He talked briefly about the way Strong recruited the state of Florida while at Louisville and hinted at other recruits attending school with him. Looks and sounds good for UT right now. We'll find out on New Year's Day.

“The relationship I've built with the coach,” Davis said when asked for the biggest reason he's picked a school in advance of his decision. “I've built up a lot of trust with that coach.”

[TFloss32]

24/7 also mentioned a few days ago that WR Gilbert Johnson, TE Devonaire Clarington, CB Davante Davis and ATH Tim Irvin have been working out together over their Christmas vacation. Ideally UT will have all four guys wrapped up by the end of next week.

If this goes through I think TE Chris Clark once again commits to Michigan, he'd been hoping this would happen.

[TFloss32]

If this goes through I think TE Chris Clark once again commits to Michigan, he'd been hoping this would happen.

I think a commitment from Clarington would derail things anyway.

But rumors tonight that he's decided not to visit Texas and Harbaugh would make Michigan the favorite.

I like Clarington but I don't think we can get him in. What is the story with all his school changes?
