2017 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[Das Texan]

OrangeBloods confirms Herman will not be retaining any of Strong's assistants.

Each one of them met with Herman this morning for about 10 minutes.

GTFO Gilbert.

[Das Texan]

And he's also got recruiting ties in this state which is something Charlie always seemed to struggle with

That's true. A big part of the 'outsider' status. Though I thought recruiting was the only thing Charlie didnt really suck at tbh.

Per Inside Texas, UT will see RB Eno Benjamin of Wylie East tomorrow.

Herman did offer while at Houston.

Was hoping Eno would get the call and i hope they offer. Kid is electric. I would be excited about a combination of Eno and Toniel Carter (if they could bring him in). Would lessen the sting of losing JK Dobbins. Also, gotta go full board after Baron Browning. The LB corps depth chart is starting to get a little thin after JM and Fowler.

Problem with Browning is him being an early enrollee.

They need to get him on campus ASAP because the recruiting dead period begins in two weeks.

I think at Texas, the product sells itself so you're gonna get some 5 star kids no matter what.

But how did he do with swaying the kids that were a coin flip's chance?

I didn't really look too hard at it, but it seems to me he lost a few to aggy?

[benefactor]

Nobody here said that. I doubt you found anybody at all on the Internet that said that.

This is the one thread I hoped this old fart would never enter.

.

Don't encourage him tbh

Also from Inside Texas, LB Baron Browning may be pushing his announcement date back even though he hasn't heard from Texas yet.

He's supposed to be committing tomorrow, but they think Texas is still the place he really wants to be.

Jeez Strong put him off so badly that Texas is where he wants to be but he didn't include us in his final list of schools...I hope to continue to hear good things from recruits.

[Hook Em 88]

Here's a video circulating today that I think is worth a quick look.

This is a small example of the "details" that Herman will be changing when it comes to social media, game day experience, etc.

Crazy how much Herman elevated the reputation of Houston. We need more things like this that can get recruits excited about Texas we have become so stale it's not even funny. I'm tired of the "oh we're too traditional" for this or that...it hasn't done anything for us lately. Let's catch up with the compe ion and match the best of the best.

Browning just announced that he won't announce tomorrow and needs more time to think things over. Wow.

[Vito Corleone]

If he gets Browning, I'm all in on this guy.

I don't know if he has any visits left or if he can do an unofficial, but he was my #2 recruit I wanted in this cycle. If we get him I'm doing flips.

The Brownings loved Strong, but there was no guarantee that he would be back and Texas had (has) a case of the sucks. That's recruiting in a nuts .

OrangeBloods saying LB Anthony Hines has pushed his commitment back to Friday, but it's probably not Texas related.

Herman making the rounds!

This was from a few days ago, about the time Herman was heading this way..... Don't know if it was posted or not.

Per HD, Coach Giles is making an in home visit right now with DE Taquon Graham of Temple.

[pgardn]

I wonder how Buechele feels.

Back to the proving grounds.

These big prospects putting back their decisions... with Browning for instance, is it really due to our changing situation, or a tough time with the schools he has already mentioned?

Might have something to do with a mix of schools I know the ags are going hard after him too.

[TFloss32]

24/7 reporting Coach Warehime and RB Eno Benjamin spoke over the phone today.

[TFloss32]

Per 24/7, Herman will have in-home visits with CB Kobe Boyce and CB Josh Thompson tomorrow.

24/7 confirmed Herman and Stidham spoke a few days ago, but things are in the beginning stages and it may not go beyond that.

Herman was on Rome's show this morning:
