2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

If anyone is wondering why we didn't offer JUCO QB Chad Kelly:

Kelly continued to fight with two bouncers and stated “I’m going to go to my car and get my AK-47 and spray this place,” according to a report.

I'm not making projections of these guys going to Texas. It was A&M site that reported Kyler was talking to Texas' coaches regularly. He is unlikely to go to Texas (very unlikely) but let's not be naive and say he is not looking around. I would just say Texas has great shot with Mack and is prob a longshot with Lodge or Murray. If I had to guess Mack-LSU, Lodge-Ole Miss, Murray-farmers.

With how important it has been for Mack to play with his friends, it's hard for me to see him going to LSU. I feel like Mack wants to be apart of whatever's hot at the moment and after Kris Boyd commits and other dominoes fall it'll be too tempting not to jump on board, IMO. We already know that Malik is a big draw for him and Malik has full intentions on recruiting him to Texas. I think the top 2 he listed is smoke and mirrors. Now suppose we do get Daylon in the fold, that'll be another impactful commitment that will force Murray and Lodge to seriously consider Texas. At that point, anything can happen.

Chavis signs extension with LSU.

Sumlin

Now I'm reading that it's just an offer and hasn't been signed. I'm do confused.

Chavis signs extension with LSU.

Sumlin

Pretty sure he hasn't signed.

[Needs More Bourbon]

How often do coaches reach the point in a negotiation where they get a contract down on paper and then not sign it?

Good question. Honestly not sure. But this isn't some big raise for Chavis. I still think he signs with LSU, but it would be an incredible get if Sumlin pulls this off. Would make losing out on these recruits worth it. Probably would land Mack with him.

@AutulloAAS: FootballScoop reports several candidates have been told they’re out of running at Colorado State. Vance Bedford has NOT been told he’s out.

[Ballin42]

What are the possible hires if Vance leaves?

[Bloeddyr10]

Bobby Burton has shed some light on who he thinks/knows is silent commits. He said:

"One is committing on December 25" - So Kris Boyd
"Another has been essentially committed since he visited" - Clarington? I keep coming back to Gilbert Johnson, who would have to get his grades in order, but otherwise he has an offer.
"The other is more of a work in progress" - Could be anyone really.

I get the feeling they'll ultimately land on Mike Bobo of Georgia.

I have no doubt Bedford killed his interview, though.

Aggy getting played for raises left and right

I don't think there is any, to be honest. I don't think anyone is expecting Vance to leave. As Floss said, Bobo seems to their guy. Maybe Scott Frost.

But a "surprise guy" could be Chuck Heater of Marshall. He coached DB's (both CB's and safeties on different occasions) at Florida with Strong.

[TheMex]

I read somewhere that Scott Frost turned down the job.

Why aren't people considering Demarco Boyd as 1 of the 3? If Kris Commits then his brother is gonna commit right along with him, so that's two. That leaves one other person.

Isn't demarco a 2016 recruit? I was just assuming they were talking for this class.

[Sisk]

Aggy

"Agreed"

Let me know when these guys actually sign. Although it doesn't seem like it will be Foster for us.

Yeah I was assuming the same at first and it may actually be about 2015 recruits only. I just thought about it possibly being Demarco while trying to figure out who it could be, and it didn't seem so far fetched that he is 1 of the 3. Just a thought to throw in the mix.
