2016 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

Quotes from CB Eric Cuffee of Waco High (24/7):

“I got to talk to the coaching staff, and they just told me that they wanted me really bad,” Cuffee said. “They said that they could use my help. I got to talk to Coach (Charlie) Strong, and I think he’s doing a good job.”

“It was a tough game, but Texas couldn't quite get it together,” Cuffee said. “They'll bounce back strong. The defense showed great effort, and I think I could fit in. The visit was great overall and the game was great, too.”

This is awesome because of the following reasons:

1. The favorite team normally craps the bed in the 11 am games.
2. Won't have to miss the game because of ACL.

No one is buying that shit. Briles gets slimier by the day.

It's a weird deal for sure, especially him being Briles' son in law. But I agree with briles, I'm not sure what the scouting advantage would be from the sidelines and that it's better to look at all the game tape.

he broke rules for sure, but i think it's an honest mistake and Lebby just wanted to hang with his buddy on the Tulsa sideline.

I feel for the kid. We knew he had these tendencies. I think the coaches do a also. It also took a flat out drop from their TE to even give us this chance. I personally don't feel like we deserved the win so no real grieving here. I think the game could have been an embarrassment for recruiting but a little heart, and some Cal complacency, made us look salvageable.

HORNSPORTS:

We'll kick things off this week with 2016 WR commit Collin Johnson. Johnson tells us he sustained a shoulder injury diving for a ball in the Valley Christian vs. Oak Grove game on September 11th. How's he holding up? "Hanging in there," he tells us. Johnson's shoulder will require surgery and the elite receiver will be sidelined for a handful of months. While the injury is deflating, Johnson will support his teammates from the sideline. As for Longhorn fans are concerned, Johnson plans to graduate early and enroll at Texas in January. He should be ready and available to participate in spring ball in Austin.

+++++

After an exciting but ultimately disappointing loss to Cal, we caught up with several of the recruits who were in attendance on Saturday. The SLC 3 (Southlake players Robert Barnes, Obi Eboh, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey) made their way to Austin for the game. Texas commit Obi Eboh brought along his two teammates who both hold Texas offers, and it sounds like they all enjoyed the experience. “It was fun”, Eboh said. “We got to watch a great game.” Eboh noted that Jerrod Heard had the recruits section buzzing with his electric performance. “He was incredible. We were going crazy when he scored. Absolutely nuts.”

+++++

Southlake Athlete Lil’Jordan Humphrey was watching this game closely, because both teams on the field were high on his list of interest. In fact, Cal and Texas both sit at the top for the talented playmaker and have put some distance between themselves and other schools. We caught up with Humphrey who told us he really enjoyed himself. We also asked Humphrey what his thoughts were on the new look offense Texas was running. “It’s different, but they really try to spread the ball around and get in the playmakers hands. I like it.” That point stuck out to Humphrey because the Texas coaches are recruiting him as a receiver. Our sources in Southlake continue to indicate good things about Humphrey and Texas, and the Texas coaching staff is continuing their relentless recruitment of the most versatile athlete in the state.

+++++

HornSports high school coverage this week will include perhaps the crown jewel of the 2016 Texas recruiting class. Quarterback Shane Buechele leads Arlington Lamar up against Arlington Martin in the kickoff to District 4-6A competition. Buechele is surrounded by SEC talent on offense with Alabama commit Chris Owens on the line and Arkansas commit Kofi Boateng out wide. Oklahoma State pledge Madre Harper stars at DB for Lamar, and the Vikings are primed for a playoff run in 2015. This will be our first extended look at Buechele outside of a camp setting, and HornSports will be bringing you updates all night from Cravens field.

+++++

2017 Pflugerville Hendrickson defensive end Nelson Mbanasor is a familiar face on the 40 Acres. The local prospect made a return trip to Austin for the Cal game one week after attending the victory over Rice. Mbanasor hasn’t landed on the radar yet in his class, but he is seeing some early interest from the hometown program. “Coach Strong and Coach Vaughn said they have a lot of interest in me”, Mbanasor told us. Nelson had a great time at both games and said the frequent visits are giving him an increased comfort level with the program and staff. Mbanasor’s brother PJ was a standout defensive back in last year’s recruiting class who signed with Oklahoma and is currently on campus there. With a sibling already north of the Red River, Mbanasor said that won’t be a factor in his recruitment. “Really I’m open to go wherever.” Mbanasor also told us he will be looking to make another visit to Austin this year as he continues to build his relationship with the Texas coaching staff.

+++++

New Orleans (LA) Brother Martin Tight End Peyton Aucoin made his way to Austin for his first game since committing back in the summer. For anyone wondering, Aucoin is a strong commit who is very happy with his commitment. The big tight end enjoyed himself at DKR on Saturday and gave us some insight to what the game environment was like in the recruits section. "The visit was great, I loved every minute of it." Aucoin got to witness the coming out party for Jerrod Heard up close and personal and he told us that the recruits in attendance were buzzing. "Everyone was just really excited to see him go out there and pick apart the defense play after play." After returning back to New Orleans after his weekend in Austin Aucoin tweeted pictures of him with QB commit Shane Buechele. We asked about Aucoin if he and Buechele had an opportunity to hang out while on The 40. "It went nice. We sort of just got to know each other and I think we will build from there."

So, uhh, what's the prediction on this one? The 247 Crystal Balls aren't favorable at all but they really haven't been in many of our last commitments (which aren't a lot). Seems like odd timing but maybe TCU's crap defense lately or Aggie's "good" defense has swayed him in one direction or another? Or maybe Strong snagged him undercover as per his usual MO?

People need to quit freaking out about the defensive stats. While yes, you can see the drop off compared to last year but Texas is one of the FEW rare teams that has played against 3 solid offenses. If Texas was playing teams like Lamar and SFA, none of this would be a discussion.
Now if Texas is still one of the worst statistic at the end of the year, then you can worry and say their bad, but it'll all start changing once everyone else starts facing better competition.

That's not what I was getting at. It's more about the other teams actually playing competition and getting yards put on them. You can't really tell anything from stats at this point in time. Take WVU for example, currently #4 total defense at 596 total yards but they have only played 2 games, Liberty and Georgia Southern. So one less game to count and 2 poo teams gives them false stat that they have the #4 defense in football.
Our 3 game nonconference teams are combined 8-1. They weren't pushovers. Should let things play out more before you hit the alarm.

I am alarmed no matter what our stats are because our D is flat out bad. (When we still have games against very good offenses.) Everyone of those teams I mentioned can put up 50 or more easily against us.

So this brings up an interesting question(s). How many of those teams will put up at least 50? Is it possible for us to hold ALL of those teams under 50?

[Vito Corleone]

Stats are for losers. I only care about wins and losses. If we start this season 1-5 I'm off the Charlie Strong bandwagon and I'm on the lets move on bandwagon.

1-5 = Charlie Strong is not our standard.

“I’m not exactly interested in Texas anymore,” Duvernay said. “They’re not recruiting me anymore. I haven’t talked to them. I guess they backed off. I’m not really sure what’s going on, so yeah.”

Update on RB Devwah Whaley of Beaumont Central (OrangeBloods):

"I haven't set one (official visit) for Texas yet. They should get one," Whaley said.

"I actually talked to coach (Charlie) Strong, coach (Tommie) Robinson (Tuesday) night. I talk to them pretty often. They say I could fit in with their offense pretty well, make a big impact right away. They tell me how bad they want me there."

"It doesn't change a whole lot, but that's pretty impressive, going out and breaking Vince Young's record," Whaley said. "That's pretty impressive. It doesn't change a lot, but Heard made a big impact with him doing that."

[TFloss32]

More on five-star LB Caleb Kelly of Fresno, CA (OrangeBloods):

"He said he's officially backing out of the Texas trip. He said it was because he really isn't interested in taking an extra science class, but he also said the Texas offer came late anyway," the source said. "I would imagine if he could get into Notre Dame, he's fine. I think probably someone told him that about the class and he believed it and that's a reason for him to drop the visit."

"Either way, I would think it would it would be a big surprise if he wound up (at Texas). I think it's Oklahoma or Michigan. He's close with Tony Perry who had a satellite camp in Fresno for Michigan. He's been to Michigan twice now. It's probably Oklahoma but I think Michigan is right there too."

[TFloss32]

Quotes from LB Jeffrey McCulloch after visiting UT for the Cal game (OrangeBloods):

“It was excellent,” McCulloch said of his visit. “They played well, but just came up a little short. After watching them this past weekend though, I would say that I definitely expect a different result when they play Oklahoma State.”

“They have my attention after last week’s game,” said McCulloch. “They surprised me with how they rebounded back after their loss to Notre Dame the first week. They’re improving quickly.”

“I’m planning on going (to Austin) in November,” he said. “I’ll be there for their game against Kansas on November 7. It’s just an unofficial, but I will be visiting.”

2017 DT Marvin Wilson of Bellaire Episcopal talks about UT (24/7):

“I like Texas a lot,” Wilson said. “I think they have one of the best coaching staffs around, but they just have to get some players around them. With the coaching staff and the attitude they have, they will be alright.”

“I just want to see them compete, to be honest,” Wilson said. “You can forget the scoreboard. I want to see them win, but I also just want to see them improve and keep it close. I’m really interested to see what they can do.”

“I like that Texas is close to home,” Wilson said. “I like the environment down there and the people. Everybody is really approachable. The culture is changing. Everybody wants to win.”

[TFloss32]

Quotes from potential offer, 2017 WR Omar Manning of Lancaster, after visiting UT last weekend (24/7):

“It was really nice,” Manning said. “I really liked the environment. Although they didn’t come out on the winning end of things, it was still a really good game. I had a lot of fun down there. It was a great time.”

“They had more than 500 yards of offense, so it was a really good showing from them,” Manning said. “I feel like I could fit into the offense. It looks like it could be explosive, and I think they’ve found their quarterback.”

“Coach Norvell was really cool,” Manning said. “We didn’t talk to much about an offer, but he did say he wanted to see more of me. An offer would be big because I like Texas a lot. I love the tradition and all the players that have come out of there.”

[TheMex]

I am having dejavu all over again. At this time last year we were thinking the same thing. Charlie will get this done. Let's not press the panic button. I am pumped about Big XII play. We start conference play at the right time. Things had to happen and fall into place and they have, those two losses sucked but we've known that this is not a championship team and all those 2 losses did was take us out of the playoff series. We can still win the Big XII and I honestly think that we can challenge for it. Hopefully, those freshmen defensive players are learning fast.

[Vito Corleone]

I like Wilson's answer. Texas needs to show improvement especially on the dline. If that improves then Texas will improve. Right now everyone in conference is 0-0, in theory Texas can win every game from here on out. In theory, but in reality we have 2 to 4 more losses in front of us. I can live with 2 any more and this team is going to regress.

I do have hope for the offense, for the first time in 2 years. I also have hope for the defense but they need to step up. I'm not happy with the job Brick has done with the dline, they are not this bad, there is some talent there, if he can't get it to perform better than this then I think a change is in order. Bring back Bo Davis or Oscar Giles.

Agree with most of your assessment. Pretty much rest of season depends on the d-line stopping the run and qb pressure. It seems as though every other position has improved from game to game except for the d-line which as you stated seems to stuck in neutral at the moment..

Agree with most of your assessment. Pretty much rest of season depends on the d-line stopping the run and qb pressure. It seems as though every other position has improved from game to game except for the d-line which as you stated seems to stuck in neutral at the moment..

Not an excuse by any means, but just an observation.

When I was at the game Saturday night, I couldn't believe over half the defense were freshmen in certain packages.

But y'all are correct that it's going to have to start with the DL getting more pressure and plugging the run.

[TFloss32]

Chambers to TCU

Yep, only question now is if they'll put the heat on Madubuike and/or Chambers down the stretch, or simply do their best to lock up Fitzgerald.

Some would argue that the staff let Chambers fall by the wayside because they felt good about Madubuike.

[pgardn]

The Oline is bad as well. Heard is making them look good and he will get killed doing it.

[TFloss32]

Two notes from 24/7...

-S DeMarkus Acy of Dallas Wilmer-Hutchins will be making a commitment tomorrow. Much like ATH Christian Wallace, his offer to UT may not be committable because of grades. He is expected to commit to Missouri as they recently offered.

-2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale will be in attendance next week when UT travels to TCU.

[Biggems]

Hopefully Strong will bring in about 4 OL, 4 DL, and 2-3 LBs in this next class. We are weak in the trenches and need to beef up and get better. I don't care about how many stars a guy has next to his ranking either. I just want a bunch of football players. I want guys who are wanting to be coached, wanting to be in the game, and wanting to do whatever it takes to win. I am so sick of these pussified pre-madonnas. get us some maulers, even if they lack some overall athleticism. Hell, the Wisconsin OL can never be confused for athletic, but they are so big, so nasty, and so technically sound, that they dominate week in and week out.

The officiating was horrible today. If not for being at the Judson/Clemens game last night, I would say this was the worst officiated game I have seen in a long time. Texas got screwed royally by the refs.

That being said, the OL sucks. Heard cannot keep having to run for his life on every play. When we have to use the RB to block for players the OL are not blocking, it leaves the blitzer with a free run at Heard.

We should have punted instead of going for it on 4th and long around the 45 of OSU. We pin them deep, and flip field position, I think the quarter turns out different. But we went for it, and it seemed like the rest of the game we were trapped inside our 20 all fourth Q.

We needed to recover that fumble, but we didn't.....We recover that, we gain field position and momentum.

Heard messed up on throwing that forward pass on the WR screen. He needs to make sure to throw it backwards at least a few yards.

Our D sucked for the first quarter. However, for the rest of the game, they played so much better. They had a few missed coverages and stupid penalties, but all in all, I was very pleased with the D after the first Q. The two TDs was a great sign for the unit.

Kickers suck.

[Vito Corleone]

Charlie Strong is not the right coach for Texas. Texas needs to make a move and get rid of him. If Chip Kelly is available, Charlie strong should be fired and we should go after Kelly.

I know we have enough Big money men to handle the 15 million we owe him, and we can then get a real coach that knows how to coach both offense and defense.

Strong might be the worst game manager I've ever seen. Why didn't we freeze their kicker like Notre Dame did to us?

Our defense was fine this game.

After the first quarter, our D was very good. If only our OL would step up and give our offensive playmakers time and a chance to make plays. This way, we can sustain drives for points or even hit quick homerun plays......both of which takes pressure off the D to be lights out.

[Harry Callahan]

A big chunk of players on the field are underclassmen. The upperclassmen still at UT (with a few exceptions) basically suck.

Demoting your top two offensive assistants is a really bad dynamic for a program.

I think everything should be called into question - the Texas program should never been allowed to stoop to this level of play. That has more to do with a lazy, hard headed Mack Brown and gutless Deloss Dodds being on retirement mode for four years.

I don't think you can fire Charlie Strong at the end of this season for losing with someone else's players given the lack of talent out there.

The sad thing is that this whole sorry situation would have been avoided if the powers that be (and the former head coach) had the courage to have Mack walk away 3-4 years ago and things would be much further along.

Recruiting and attendance. How is Strong's staff doing with Oline and Dline recruiting? These will be his downfall.

I agree. It's an sad display with all the empty seats. The product sucks and people are voicing their dismay by not showing up.

The jackass athletic director was such an abortion EVERYONE hated him. Even coaches he hired were being undercut (even coach Strong).

I have now idea if the D-Line and O-Line players are any good. I don't think they even brought in a lot of D Linemen. The team was gassed in the second half due to the lack of depth as well as the Austin heat/humidity.

Once Texas had the Left tackle go out in the second half, the production of the offense went down the tubes.

The price increases for the season ticket holders must be reversed - that would be a good start for the interim AD. You don't jack up ticket/contribution costs by 40-50% for a sub-standard football product.

Patterson as AD was a complete cluster, and a lot of work will have to be put in by the folks in the athletic department from top to bottom to win back customers and good faith.

I don't think a revolving door for the head coaching position is a good thing either. Of course my opinion has no pull anyway.

[DMX7]

Patterson was a horrific hire. I knew it from day one.

Also, you will see addition by subtraction. Our senior class is mostly just embarrassing.

This will be the way.

Do games like the last two really hurt recruiting is what I wonder. ND was devastating. These last two have shown us some bright spots. I really thought penalties, calls, and our own f ups cost us. This stuff can be corrected. And the fact that so many freshmen are making an impact is nice for recruiting, right?

If I'm wrong just lie to me as this is becoming tortuous. I can see how we might not be able to recruit any RBs however. And I really want to believe in Strong. I wish we would see some instruction during the game from him. And when we went for it on 4th and 10... Did not get that.

[Vito Corleone]

I wouldn't get too worked up over this game. The loss sucks but we're playing for the future anyway.

Strong is equally as bad at picking an offensive staff. We fired two guys on the offensive staff after 1 year. I'm pretty sure two more are gone after year 2.
Charlie strong has no idea how to make adjustments during a game.
Charlie strong has no idea how to manage a game

The 15 yard penalty he got put the OSU offense in fieldgoal range for the tying points. And then when it was obvious we weren't going to score before the end of regulation he calls a timeout leaving OSU with a ton of time on the board. What the hell was that?

How can we hold the team accountable for poor play when we can't hold the head coach responsible for being a moron.

[Vito Corleone]

On the O-line, we have two starting for us that are decent. On D, Ford is good and the loss of Lampkin was a fluke.

I think the point is our dline recruiting sucks right now as does our oline recruiting. We need a lot more than two guys, we aren't getting them right now.

[The Reckoning]

Im one of the most pessimistic horns alum on this site..but the past two games played I saw the kids show heart and purpose. Strong is doing something here. You can see life that the program hasn't seen in six years.

Without the bullshit 30 yard penalty, without the missed pat, yall would be singing a different tune. So long as Heard and Malik stay healthy, this will be a monster team in a couple of years. Texas is in a good spot.

Again...you can't build fucking Rome in a day. Expecting them to shit out the perfect offense and make all the adjustments on the fly in the first three games with a new OC and a new QB is pretty unrealistic. They made the right moves by going away from Swoopes/Watson. They've been in position to win two games against good teams since Norvell/Heard took over. Norvell has built an offense basically on the fly that plays to Heard's strengths and has made some decent adjustments like using Swoopes as the hammer QB on short yardage. He's also shown creativity with the WR pass play call that was a couple of feet from being a TD. Will Norvell be the answer in the end? That's yet to been seen...but to say he hasn't done a pretty damn good job with what he has on the time frame he's had to do it is just stupid.

And basically Strong has to be given an honest chance.

We end up looking like a school that knee jerks. Coaches looking to get hired that are good know it takes time and want to know they will be given adequate backing by the school. So getting rid of Strong so suddenly makes us look incredibly unstable, especially after the Patterson fiasco. If Strong is not the guy it needs to be obvious. And of course this also sends recruits fleeing and totally delays any rebuilding if Strong is not the. Guy. There is no Harbaugh waiting on us.

Who do you want as head coach to replace Strong now?

[Biggems]

now that I have cooled down from yesterday, I will offer some perspective.

We got completely blown out by ND. We looked lost, disheartened, and apathetic. So heads rolled and it showed in the following 3 weeks.

Over the last 3 weeks, we have a new play caller, a new QB, and a bunch of excitement and promise.

We beat Rice down, probably should have beat them by more, but we are finding our way right now, so a win is a win.

We stood toe to toe with Cal and OSU, both games could have gone to OT, but we had kicking and game management difficulties. Also, our much maligned D was huge in the 4th quarter against Cal, as well as the final 3 quarters against OSU.

We had to just endure one of the worst and one-sided officiating games ever......I mean when did OSU become the Pittsburgh Steelers (owners of the two worst officiated games in SB history (one of the most penalized teams in the league but called for 0 penalties against Dallas......and then they absolutely robbed Seattle in the other one). The refs obviously had an agenda and were out to make sure we lost......and even with all the flags, it came down to the bobbled punt. I have to give credit to our young team for not giving up and for fighting hard against almost insurmountable odds.

We are 1-3, but could also be 3-1. I know the schedule is ugly and we may not win many more...but if we can just compete and take the games down to the wire, maybe these games we are finding ways to lose, we may just find ways to win.

I hate when QBs get ripped to shreds for completion %.....but what can they do, walk over to the WR and put the ball in his hands in the middle of the play. WRs have to make plays, especially when the ball hits them in the hands. The worst is the ball off the WRs hands that is then intercepted. I wish there was a way to take that INT away from the QB.....maybe call it a muffed INT or something, so the receivers have some culpability.

[Eastexhorn]

My take on a lot of things. The two loses coaching blunders had more to do with than the kickers. If the ship is heading in the right direction is this down. The offense improved then regressed. The defense was bad then improved. Only thing constant is bad coaching no game management. How can next year be better when three OL, two starters grad. No replacements in sight. Could noy replace Perkins. Texas has supposed to have great OL coaches in the last five or so years but havent had a decent OL in ten years. Then Maybe Vince made them look good.

I hope Strong has time but unless he shows better decisions I am ready to join the he's in over his head crowd.

Yeah...he hasn't even put a product on the floor yet. He's not just going to walk on the job at Texas and start beating out Kansas and Duke.

Quotes from DE Andrew Fitzgerald of Flower Mound Marcus (24/7):

“It (the UT offer) came out of the blue,” Fitzgerald said. “It was a big surprise, but I’m really excited about. I really like Texas. I’m pretty high on them. I’ve always liked them. It’s in-state, and they’ve always been one of my favorite teams.”

“If I’m being honest, I hadn’t talked to them at all,” Fitzgerald said. “Like I said, the offer came out of the blue. But starting this past weekend, we’ve begun building a relationship. So we’ll see where it goes from here.”

“I had a great time,” he said. “Even though they didn’t win, it was a great game to go to. There was a lot of energy. I think later on in the next couple of seasons, Coach (Charlie) Strong is going to build something big, so it’s something to consider.”

Quotes from DT/DE D'Andre Christmas-Giles of New Orleans, LA after receiving a UT offer (24/7):

"I had been talking to Coach (Brick) Haley for four or five weeks,” Christmas-Giles said. “I gave him a call, and he told me that I had an offer. I was really excited. It’s great to get an offer from a prestigious program like Texas.”

"I’m getting to know the coaching staff more,” he said. “I feel like my relationship with Coach Haley has been building up pretty fast. Coach Strong seems like a great coach. He told me that he watched my film and likes what I can do. He wants to get me down there for a visit.”

"I haven’t shut down my recruitment,” Christmas-Giles said. “And I like Texas. I lived in Fort Worth for a couple of years after Hurricane Katrina, and my two favorite schools were TCU and Texas, so I’ve always liked them. I’m most definitely interested.”

[TFloss32]

Per OrangeBloods, it is "unlikely" that OL Kent Perkins plays against TCU after injuring his knee last weekend.

From Inside Texas, CB Holton Hill will be replacing CB John Bonney in the staring lineup.

Also, they believe OL Elijah Rodriguez will get the start at RT instead of OL Marcus Hutchins.

Texas: “They have a really good team and are really well coached. Coach Shaka is changing the program around and the fans are extremely excited about the future with him being there.”

Yeah, Coach Aston has been killing it on the trail over the last year or so...bright future/good times ahead for the Lady Horns.

It's odd how some coaches just know how to recruit and others don't. The old Duke coach wasn't doing well at recruiting at Texas, but Aston is killing it.

Any recruiting updates for the weekend? Any targets set to make a decision soon? Wasn't Acy visiting Mizzou and making a decision after that (probably to Mizzou?)?

Slightly off-topic -- I have a question to any Texas-exes that might be lurking in the thread -- have any of you used the Texes-exes career networking job search on the Texas-exes website? It supposedly connects you to UT alums who would like to hire other UT alums. Sounds kind of nice, but I'm not sure I'm willing to fork over the cash to join Texas-exes just for that feature yet since I'm just about to graduate and don't have a lot of spare cash (because I don't have a job lined up). Finishing my PhD from the good guys this semester and am trying to cast my job-search net very wide.
