In my mind, Carson isn't a commitment anymore be he probably won't qualify.
Good to know your opinion hasn't changed in 3 hours.
Wtf. So weird. Don't know why that sent again.
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]"Every indication I’ve heard thus far is that although LSU believes Tom Herman should be a strong candidate, it does not necessarily appear that the feeling is reciprocal at this time."
I don't see Herman at LSU, but what do I know.

they're likely to get DB Caden Sterns (2018) of Cibolo Steele as well. the kid is great.
Herman wants to be able to call his own shots and wants stability. With LSU's hardon to beat Saban, not sure stability could be had there.
BASKETBALL
Jerry Meyer (director of basketball recruiting at 247) just CB'ed Jase Fabres to Texas. Reports that Fabres could make a decision as early as this week.
The Donald has taught us it's not a problem.
This feels like such a "make or break" game for Strong which is disappointing after the start of the season. It feels like the pendulum has swung in the complete opposite direction after the ND game.
It's a make or break year, imo.
8 wins might not cut it
And that ND win is looking less impressive by the day.
If Strong gets 8 wins Strong will be back. Our current AD doesn't want the responsibility to fire him so he will fight for that last year and if Strong gets it he will more than likely win enough games to keep the job for another 3 or 4 years. This team is amassing too much talent that even Ron Zook could win here.
Funny thing is Texas might find itself in exactly the same place LSU did with Les Miles over the last 4 years of his tenure there. Win enough to keep the job, but not enough to win championships.
The crazy thing is, the only difference I see between Strong and Mack Brown as it relates to coaching football is that Charlie absolutely sucked when it came to picking his first staff. If he had gotten his first staff remotely correct he would have been hugely successful this year. As it is, he got one guy that looks remotely successful, and that is BJM. The rest have been huge failures. Now outside of football there is no comparison how good Charlie Strong is at running the program.
Miles and Mack had more leeway because of the les.
And Strong is supposed to be a defense guy and they have been getting lit on that side.
I could easily see him getting fired with 8 wins and a bowl loss
I thought 7 wins would save his job, but Herman has turned up the heat to boiling. Charlie has virtually no more room for error. There are no more scapegoats.
Its how bad or good we look in winning or losing.
And the above can be tainted by expectations.
The expectations are not on Strong's side currently as the conference looks weak. If OSU had one loss, and OU was undefeated, Strong would have more leeway.
As I said before the season, I think 7-5 is a very questionable place for Charlie to be; it could go either way.
However, if he loses the next two making Texas below 500 again, I think big money starts making moves.
Charlie would have to go on an incredible run from that point just to be above bowl eligibility and he's run out of coaching moves to make.
The Cal loss was a bad look
I don't know if you read the quotes on the last page, but it goes hand-in-hand with the idea that Charlie can't put a consistent team on the field.
He'll win a big game and then take two steps back.
These next two are an opportunity to start breaking that trend.
