Sucks but we need to be realistic about our expectations. We'll be ok with our current players.
Can't blame him. If my kid has a chance to go to Stanford full ride, I'd kick her ass if she passed it up.
You don't just stop taking players because the players you want are going elsewhere. You address the needs of the team with best available players you can obtain and move on. Texas well finish with a top 25 class.
be
What world do you live in? Texas will be lucky to break top 40.
This is a very small class, Texas won't get but maybe 4 more 4'star players, and that is being very generous. Everyone else will be a mid to low 3'star. None of which will make a lick of difference.
Texas is going to have a very good year next year and will end up with a huge class, the less bread we eat now will be much better for us next year.

Lets just hope Herman has a good eye for the 3* that have a possiblility of big upside. Hager and Foreman were both 3* iirc
Per his Twitter, UT has offered ATH Roshaaud Paul of Bremond.
Committed to Texas A&M.
Class size is going to double and yes well be top 25, easily...could really care less about this recruiting cycle, the talent is already there, time to produce..
Some positive news, I guess. The two Minnesota mods on 24/7 Crystal Balled Minnesota commit LB Kyrei Fisher to Texas today.
His CB's are now tied with 3 for each of Minnesota, Arkansas and Texas.

I know this is a recruiting thread, but WOW!
Interesting because Holland over at 24/7 says it's a "big if" UT offers.
She's lucky she's not dead, and he's lucky she's not dead.
FYI I've updated the recruiting board on the first page if you're having trouble keeping up.
For the 2017 offers, I deleted prospects who are out of the picture and listed anyone Herman has offered or is/was pursuing.
All of the 2018 offers are still listed plus the lone 2019 offer.
New offer
Why is sending more WR offers out? Next year Texas is loaded at WR and the class of 2018 is loaded with talented WR prospects. Unless we are losing half our talent at that position I don't get this offer?
From IT {Nalin}:
After Little announced, his father Doug pulled me off to the side, and unsolicited said, "The new Texas coaches did a great job in their short time with Walker. Herman's going to be very successful there. That visit made the decision very difficult for Walker. They were very impressive. Coach Herman called me last night and asked what he could have done differently, and I said, 'nothing, you guys were great.'" Those words will undoubtedly ring hollow to Herman, but it's not like his pitch was way off. He simply lost to a school and staff who had been on Little for a very, very long time, and had all the pluses the Little's were looking for built in to their sell. It's Stanford - you don't have to work hard to sell academics or offensive line play.
Not trying to be a downer here but I'm not sure we're in contention for any of the "big named" recruits at this point. I know some of us at this point could care less just thought I'd throw that out there to keep things in perspective. I know some think we're in good with OL Chuck Filiaga I think he's a Michigan lean at this point and I know everyone thought all we had to do is offer Eno Benjamin and he was ours without question but I believe he favors Arizona State at this point. Just my hunch from things I see on twitter of course I hope I'm wrong. Possible K'Lavon Chaisson is one those that has a real interest in us at this point. Again not to be negative just giving my 2 cents on where I think we stand in those recruitments.

I don't know who we can and can't get, but I know that we need probably 2 runningbacks. I wouldn't waste a ship anywhere else at this point. Save them all for next year.
There is no need in filling up on bread right now, if Tom is the recruiter we are told he is, then he should be able to bring in a of a class next year. I fully expect to see him winning 9 or more games at the minimum. Our talent at the Oline, Dline, WR, is as good as I've ever seen it. We got a great QB, DB, WR, and DE committed. I'd like to get a good LB and two RBs, and maybe a DE or other position guy that comes along and can contribute, but don't just take a guy because we 18 free ships and we want to fill them all. That is like saying, I have 100 dollars in my checking account, I need to go spend it. Save it for next year and get a huge full class.
Herman signs Benjamin and Chaisson, imo.
It will be fun to see how the rest of the class fills out.
