2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Texas hosted a number of top targets over the weekend, but none was potentially more impactful than five-star defensive tackle Daylon Mack.

Mack, ranked No. 6 overall in the ESPN 300, wasn’t sure what to expect headed into his official visit, having not been on campus in Austin since the summer of 2013. That made Mack's trip this weekend a sort of first impression for Charlie Strong and the Longhorns staff.

“It went great!” Mack said. “The vibe was completely different from the last time I was there. I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy it that much, but my perspective on Texas is way different now. Great staff! Great people and my parents really liked it as well.”

While Mack spent considerable time with good friend and Texas early enrollee Malik Jefferson, it was time spent with Strong and staff that ultimately had to make the difference if the Longhorns are going to seriously be in the mix come signing day on Feb. 4.

Strong’s message was a simple one.

“That I could come in and fill Malcom Brown’s spot and have a huge impact as a freshman,” Mack said.

Up next for Mack will be an unofficial visit to TCU next weekend. The Horned Frogs will get the last chance with the No. 1-ranked prospect in the Lone Star State in a recruitment that has become a battle between Texas A&M, Texas and TCU.

While TCU was considered a slight favorite over Texas A&M headed into the Texas visit, the waters have been muddied as expected with late-January visits.

“I can’t really give an order at this point, but Texas made a huge impression," Mack said. "I have a couple of guys I’ll talk to about it all when I get back home, but Texas definitely gave me a lot to think about, and I feel really good about them headed into signing day.”

Before making the trip to TCU, Mack will receive in-home visits from Strong on Tuesday night and Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin Wednesday night.

Mack, a former Texas A&M verbal, is set to announce his decision on national signing day, Feb. 4, live on ESPN at Gladewater High

CB Xavier Lewis has cancelled his OV to Texas next weekend, per 24/7.

I'm not a fan of NSD flips, even if they go our way. Part of growing up and being a man (and that's what core values are all about), includes not leaving a team hanging like it is some kind of game. If you don't want into on school, let them know so that spot is opened for someone else. Be responsible.

@thelonghorns12: Soso's mom wants him at Texas per Ketch. Strong is a ladies man.

Parents almost always want their kid to stay closer to home. Plus, Charlie's core values (unlike Sumlin who doesn't have any) are very attractive to parents and they feel that they are putting their son in the hands of a man with integrity who cares about seeing them actually graduate and develop as men.

From QB Kai Locksley speaking on DT Daylon Mack (OrangeBloods):

"In the conversations we've had, he thought this was probably one of the best visits he's been on. He was smiling ear to ear every day. I think he's definitely on board."

[Hook Em 88]

Does this guy work for a certain website? Or is he just a random fan?

Not entirely sure he doesn't seem to be affiliated with any recruiting service or website. I'm under the impression he has access to one of the services though and just tweets out what he sees there. He stays very current with everything going on so it's a good follow.

I was reading earlier that Locksley told OrangeBloods Burt has been recruiting him to Texas ever since the Under Armour game.

[TFloss32]

Some notes on QB Kai Locksley from OrangeBloods...

-he said he loved everything about the official visit and the coaches answered all of his questions

-he's being recruited as a QB

-says he remains committed to FSU, but he plans on speaking with his family when he gets home and then he'll set up final in-home visits with FSU and Texas

-he mentioned WR John Burt has been recruiting him to Texas since the Under Armour game

-he feels Texas is in a really good spot with several guys, including RB Soso Jamabo and DT Daylon Mack

-he was hosted by LB Malik Jefferson

"Basically everybody that was there, we really grew close and had a great bond. That's definitely what you want to see with a class you'd be coming in with and when you're trying to jump-start a program."

"I feel like there will be a lot of guys coming (to Texas)," Locksley said.

It is said that Murray will inform both coaching staffs of his decision before Signing Day, but his actual announcement may wait until then.

WR Van Jefferson of Brentwood, TN has committed to Ole Miss.

[TFloss32]

Update on CB Davante Davis from 24/7...he is still scheduled to officially visit Auburn this weekend, but they're saying it's "less and less likely" he's going to flip because Auburn is in a numbers crunch. The interesting part for Texas, however, is Strong may be telling Davis a visit to Auburn gives up his spot in this class as they are bringing in CB Sheldrick Redwine this weekend.

[TFloss32]

Going to get really interesting with Warren if Brossette flips to Texas this week.

[ProgramaticNonFit]

I think what's getting lost in all of this is people are forgetting just how good Jerrod Heard is. Watson simply needs to quit fucking around with this bullshit pro style offense and install a spread that gets the ball in the hands of his playmakers in space. Texas has a good QB right now...they just need to decide if they really want to utilize him properly or not.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4zVwh3L-Lw

This is a great video, kid can ball.....a few things that I noticed here that I'm sure Charlie and company are working on is his footwork. The stuff he can get away with in HS will get him clobbered in college.

Also, did you notice that everytime he throws the ball, he taps it first? I've heard a few QB gurus say this isn't a good habit to get into....lets the D know that the pass is coming....

[TFloss32]

More from QB Kai Locksley of Baltimore, MD (Scout):

“I was looking for comfortability throughout the campus and the players,” he told HD. “I was looking to see a little bit more in depth what the offensive scheme was going to look like. I was looking to see if my personality fit in with the University of Texas and if I could see myself doing things I want to do here for the next four years and if I could call this place home.”

“I definitely feel like all those things were met,” said Locksley, the No. 24 QB in the country. "Going into the trip I was looking for a couple of things. I saw a lot of those things and more to be honest with you. I thought the visit went really well and I enjoyed myself.”

“He (Malik Jefferson) treated me just like any other person and he acted like he was any other person,” Locksley said. “It was real cool to see a guy of that stature be as natural as he was. He’s just real humble. He broke it down to me how it is and elaborated on his path and how it could help me, how he’s been absorbed at the University of Texas. It was a lot of good things.”

“When I got around the guys, and even other recruits who weren’t committed, we all just gelled and were having a blast,” he said. “We all liked everyone’s company. It’s not what you see too often prior to going to a school.”

“I met with Coach Watson today and we did a lot of talking,” Locksley said. “He said what they did this year was due to what they had but it’s not necessarily what they wanted to do. He believes like a guy like me, they want to go fast, run read-option and have tempo. They need a guy who can do those things athletically and believe that I have that athletic ability to do so and the pocket presence as a passer.”

“I’m definitely taking my time with things. I go at my own pace,” he said. “I don’t really let outside things effect what I’m doing. I’m going to get back home, step away from everything, review my official to FSU and my official to Texas. Everything will be done on my time."

“I’ll probably quietly commit to either school I’ll go to a day or two prior to National Signing Day and then go public with it on NSD.”

[TFloss32]

DE Charles Omenihu talks about his official visit to Texas (Scout):

"Man the highlight of the trip for me was just getting to be around the players and getting to know who I am going to be around," Omenihu said.

"It was also unreal that all of the fans and people around there were recognizing us and know who we are."

"Shiro (Davis) was great," Omenihu continued giving his player host a shout out.

"A lot of what they told me supports the in-home visit," Omenihu explained. "The position I will be playing is the 'Fox' position, which is weakside defensive end, they call it the 'Fox' in their defense."

"My playing time depends on where I am. If it takes me all next year to get there or not. I would like to get up to 250-255 pounds."

"They (Texas fans) will be in store for a surprise on signing day," Omenihu said as he ended the interview.

[TFloss32]

Quotes from LB Cameron Townsend after officially visiting Texas (Scout):

“It was great being down there. This was actually the first time that I got to be around this many recruits this closely,” Townsend said. “I have to say that this visit really put the nail in the coffin for me. When I gave my word, I was a strong commitment, but after this, no matter what, I’m a Longhorn.”

“I didn’t get to talk with a lot of the guys who are not committed, but I did catch up with Soso (Jamabo). He seemed like he was having a good time,” Townsend said. “He and I used to play basketball against each other so we talked about that for some time. Then of course I asked him when he is going to commit. He told me on National Signing Day. I told him that I hope to see him here at Texas.”

“You can tell that coach (Charlie) Strong was busting it to get those guys on board. I know we will end up with some of those guys for sure,” Townsend said.

“I got to talk to guys in my class, but also guys on the roster (Naashon Hughes, Antwuan Davis, Jacorey Warrick are a few guys in particular mentioned). I found that the guys are really taking this coaching staff and their message,” Townsend said. “It’s great to get the info firsthand. I know that what the coaches are telling us is real and the players are saying the same. You hear a lot in recruiting. It was good to know that it was all real."

“It’s good to know that I am at a place with genuine people.”

“My dad was already happy with my choice, but after this weekend he told me again, ‘I’m glad you picked Texas,’” Townsend said.

According to what I'm looking at, he has six recent crystal balls for UT.

One of which belongs to the CEO of 24/7 (even though his average isn't great).

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Apparently, Plano West basketball games are good opportunities to catch bits about Jamabo’s recruitment. According to one of our sources, Soso told his teammates he was going to pick Texas. That same source also heard at the game that Jamabo didn’t know where Kyler Murray was going to school but that he planned on trying to get Murray to go Texas with him.

You got to love Soso being the first guy to announce. He is the one we have the best shot at. I think we have an 80% chance of landing him.

Rumors abound that Murray and Lodge are taking an OV to Texas this weekend but it seems to have all originated with a random poster on OB.

It didn't. If he was serious about A&M then postponing his announcement (1 week until the bowl games were over?) when Sumlin could hire his guy would have caused no harm to anyone. He knew where he was going already.

[ThePop]

You can thank his family for that one. They weren't gonna let him postpone a date he had set a while back. Is that because they favored Texas? Maybe. Or maybe they were tired of the recruiting process.

If the DC had been hired before his announcement date he would be an aggy right now.

from cubanhorn on Texas 247, who apparently is close to the Gilmer HBC ...

"Talked to his high school head coach yesterday at lunch and he didn't know. He said if he had to bet Kris was going to Texas. While we were talking Kris called him to let him know that Burt committed to Texas so Kris is obvioulsy following texas recruiting. The aggie secondary coach also called while we were talking and Traylor said the secondary coach for the aggies was worried.
The parade for the state championship team was last night and demarco was wearing his usual longhorn attire. Aggie coaches were mad at him for putting up the Hook em sign in all his pictures at college station even when he was wearing the jersey
Gun to my head I think Kris goes to Texas but I guarantee he hasn't told anybody besides his brother and maybe a few close friends. His coach truly does know."

Feel free to fap as much or little as needed to this news but it's get better below...

"Gilmer coach was just in my office and he was truly excited about recruiting like we all are. He said people he hadn't talked to in months were calling about boyd and even Mack. For the record I asked him if they didn't like each other and he said Kris and Daylon were good friends but were both the biggest attention seeking kids he had ever seen. He stated that boyd and hill would both go to Texas for whatever it's worth
He gets a call in my office and shows me the caller ID and its coach sumlin. I told him not to answer lol but he left my office to take the call"

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Jason Howell at OB says he reached out to Lodge tonight and asked him he would be taking an official visit to Texas this weekend. Lodge said that if everything gets worked out he would like to take a visit this weekend. If it doesn't get worked out, he doesn't think he will be visiting anywhere else.

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Lodge quote from Howell's article:

"Well I know about coach Strong and his staff and what he did at Louisville with his offensive coordinator and the offense they ran and the guys they had there and how they developed them," Lodge said. "We looked at it and Kyler (Murray) called me up and said let's roll out to Texas tomorrow. I was like alright I'll give these guys a chance. So we went down there and went over the offense. We sat down and talked about it and got on the board. It's a perfect fit. It could be perfect but they don't have a quarterback right now so if they can land Kyler that would be huge."

[TheMex]

This may be wishful thinking but I've believed that Kris Boyd has been trolling the Aggies since Christmas Day. His brother regularly makes remarks about Kris knowing where he is going all along. Really seems like an immature kid who lives for attention.

Why would the visit to UT count as an official visit? He says Kyler called him and asked him to go down there. Kyler's dad drove them down there. It wasn't arranged by the staff. There has to be more to the story.

Take it FWIW but I read that Texas bought Lodge a meal(s) when he visited last weekend which would technically make that visit an official since unofficial visits have to be totally on the recruits dime. Not sure if there is any truth to that or not.

[DesignatedT]

I think Lodge could be headed to Ole Miss but if he does stay in State then I think it's safe to say that he is going wherever Kyler is going.

[Needs More Bourbon]

There was something about a third party (the Murrays) paying for Lodge's trip, which I think would make it an OV. I don't care enough to look but I read that somewhere.

[3rdCoastTexasBoy]

Scout confirmed that CB Sheldrick Redwine is tentatively scheduled for this weekend, but they don't expect him to make it as he's been told the numbers are getting very tight.

I feel like we are good with Kris Boyd and Holton Hill but I still hope we bring Redwine in because I don't know what's going on with Davante Davis at all. We also have some spots that may free up as a result of qualification casualties so I wouldn't mind DB's filling those spots. From everything I've seen, Ronnie Major will probably not qualify and Gilbert Johnson is a possible non qualifier also. A Worthy Olineman and DB would be an ideal replacement for those voids but I'm not sure who that lineman would be considering no one on the top of our board has serious interest. Drew Richmond cancelled his visit for this weekend and Toby Weathersby doesn't seem like he is considering a recommitment. It's a good thing that the coaches are being honest with recruits about the numbers. You can tell that they are expecting a Big rush of guys moving towards signing day. Which makes me feel even more confident with this dream haul of the "elite 8"!

[TFloss32]

It's possible, but that would be surprising news to me considering recruits travel with each other all of the time and they didn't spend the night.

If Texas paid for anything, then yes, that's a different story.

Either way, if Lodge and Murray want to come to Texas this weekend, I assume they'll make it happen whether officially or unofficially.
