2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

Quotes from JUCO DE Quincy Vasser after committing to UT (24/7):

“I’ve been committed for six months, so it took a lot for me to tell the coach I would de-commit,” Vasser told 247Sports Justin Krainz. “But at the end of the day it was business, you got to do what you got to do.”

“One strength would be stopping the run,” he said. “Big part of the reason I want to go to UT and expand my pass rushing, to make myself a better pass rusher.”

“Trying to be the best period,” he said. "I’m trying to go in an establish myself as a UT player and have people look up to me.”

“(Charlie) Strong was ecstatic on the phone,” he said.

“Who wouldn’t want to be a part of (something like) that?”

Update on 2016 DT Michael Williams of Fort Worth All Saints after receiving his Texas offer (24/7):

“They told me I can come out and say it,” Williams told Horns247. “I am offered. Coach Jean-Mary told me on twitter first then he reassured me today.”

“I was surprised,” he said. “That is a big time program even if they only win one game. This one has to be at the top for me.”

“Coach Strong changed everything,” he said. “He changed that program around.”

“I’ll make sure I commit (somewhere) before next August,” he said.

WR Ryan Newsome of Aledo talks about his in-home visit with Coach Robinson (24/7):

“Coach Robinson and I just talked about a lot,” Newsome said of the visit. “He said that I am in a position to start when I get there and that they really need me.”

“That’s a little different with Coach Tommie though,” he said. “I know everything that he told me that he won’t elaborate on and he was telling me the truth.”

“He told me that he’s got my back.”

“Yeah, they told me they were going to roll out the red carpet twice as much (for the official visit),” he said. “Just that at home feeling is what I am looking for. (Being comfortable) is very big. That’s what makes the programs is the players.”

Apparently the red carpet is very big too.

TE Hunter Herndon of North Forney has de-committed from Rice.

Could be a nice fallback option if Texas strikes out with other TEs.

LB coach Brian Jean-Mary was in North Carolina last week visiting South Carolina commit CB Mark Fields, Fields told 24/7.

Every now and then you land a guy out of nowhere and I get that vibe with Fields.

Hope he follows through with his visit.

Inside Texas saying UT is getting close to offering Herndon.

Possibly the reason he de-committed from Rice today.

Rumor out there that UCLA has dismissed highly-touted 2014 LB Zach Whitley from Galena Park North Shore:

Another update on LB Malik Jefferson, but these are his mother's words (Scout):

-she mentioned A&M is not the leader and there is no leader, but Strong "needs to bring his A game this weekend"

-LSU isn't really a factor

-UCLA is making a nice impression on him

-said she'd be "surprised" if Malik sticks to his December 19th timeline because he has a lot to figure out

[TFloss32]

A lot of people freaking out over the way this tweet is worded:

[the chronic]

-said she'd be "surprised" if Malik sticks to his December 19th timeline because he has a lot to figure out

Did the article shed light on how far out he could potentially push his decision? Being he will enroll mid-term he's obviously already close to the deadline with current announcement date.
