2015 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[the chronic]

William Wilkerson at Scout says LB Anthony Wheeler has a new leader. Since OU was the leader and he was just here, I'd guess it's us.

Wheeler said Texas moved up to co-leader along with OU

...and you expected them to be world beaters the spring after they gut the staff and start over?

No I don't expect them to be world beaters, on the contrary I expect a 6-5 type season because I believe the conference it better than it was last season and we're basically without a serviceable QB. I just don't believe in Ash at all and a USC program dropout doesn't seem like a guy who will light it up all of a sudden.

I think Swoopes has a chance to be good in 2016, but we're proper ed for 2014 as far as I can tell.

24/7 reporting the Texas staff will remain in Austin this week instead of hitting the road to recruit. They want to stick around and put their stamp on spring ball by letting all of the players know where they stand going into summer workouts. It's an unusual strategy to not start recruiting immediately once the spring evaluation period starts, but most high schools don't begin spring practice until May anyway. They'll be ready to go next week.

"The spring game was great,” Mykel Jones said. “The team looked good and they have room to get even better which Coach [Charlie] Strong will do. I spent a lot of time with coach Strong and he was great, showing us good hospitality. Like I said I talked to coach Strong and coach [Chris] Vaughn and they all loved me and said they need athletes like me to help get the program to that next level.”

”The best part of the trip was spending time with coach Strong and they are definitely in my top five as of now,” Jones said.

I think if the horns keep it more a basic smash mouth run geared offense by not asking the QB to do too much, I would expect them to win 9 or 10 and be in the hunt for the conference le.

just too much talent.

Even with McCoy at QB last year, UT was able to control the clock when Brown/Gray got going.

Watson makes it his priority to win time of possession, so interested to see how that will factor in along with a much improved defense.

2016 OL Greg Little of Allen talks about his visit to UT for the spring game (OrangeBloods):

"It was a blast," said Little about the Texas Spring Game. "I like Coach Wickline a lot; great coach, great man [that] has a lot of character. That's what kind of attracted me to Texas today."

"He sends guys to the league," Little stated about Texas' offensive line coach. "He's very honest and real with you. I like that about him."

"Great fans, good coach, and good offensive line coach because that's someone I'm going to be with a lot," responded Little about what factors he's looking for in his potential school. "Head coach is cool, but the offensive line coach… that's who I want to get to know the most."

"Pretty regularly," said Little, who mentioned Chris Rumph and Wickline as the coaches he talks to the most, about how much he and Texas communicate. "I try to give them a call once a week so seeing how things are going, they keep me updated. Just talking about how they like me, asking me how I've been, the small things."

"I watch my position like left tackle, right tackle and sometimes what the guards do because I never know what I'm going to play in college," he said. "So, that's what I like to watch."

"Honestly, I haven't narrowed it down," Little responded about his college choices. "I'm just trying to soak it all in. I'll probably narrow it down at the end of my next season."

"Coach Strong," stated Little in response to his impression of the Texas program. "Just what he's going to do, his discipline and his attention to details and all the things like that."

Read on Inside Texas this morning that QB/ATH JW Ketchum has been placed in an alternative school. The report was talking about QB depth and QB recruiting so he was only mentioned briefly, but not sure how hard UT will pursue him going forward knowing this. No word when he'll return to Fort Bend Marshall.

No word when he'll return to Fort Bend Marshall.

The real question is why? Is it for grade improvement, is he in a situation where he needs to be removed from a bad influence, or is he in trouble?

Top 2016 QB Jacob Eason of Lake Stevens Senior (WA.) are thinking about visiting Texas for a Camp visit during the summer, per 24/7. His father played for Notre Dame, so he grew up being a fan of them, but says he has no favorites. Eason checked in as the 5th overall prospect in 24/7's early 2016 rankings.
