2017 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

[TFloss32]

Another one.

From OrangeBloods on OL Patrick Hudson:

"He's highly interested in Texas," the source said. "You can even say he's leaning towards Texas and won't be going to class on Monday."

[pgardn]

Big 10 is the most logical, If Texas gives up LHN the BTN would more than make up for it.

I dont know how logical playing in Wisconsin in December is. The pac seems better suited. Not time wise though.

I don't see any movement in the near future unless TCU and TT blew up. And then we gotta somehow make sure to keep playing Oklahoma.

Its too bad Baylor could not stay clean. It was a good thing for them to be compe ive imo.

Huge stuff.

So many things working in the Big 10 favor

Time zone - majority of games played in conference will be in the Central time zone. No late night start times. This is a big negitive for the Pac 12. where you would have the late night starts. and massive travel times to Oregon and Washington. Flights to the east coast are more frequent and easier to book. This also holds true for the ACC

CIC - That is a lot of research dollars. No conference can match this little perk

BTN - Adding the Texas footprint to the BTN will more than make up for the loss in revenue created by the loss of the LHN. Only the SEC can match the BTN in coverage and appeal. Pac and Acc are at a huge disadvantage here and Texas would likely lose money by losing the LHN for these conferences.

Better cities to fly to - Chicago, Anarbor, Minneapolis, Columbus, State College PA. Pac has LA, Phoenix, SLC, Seatthle, Portland, and Bay area. ACC has Atlanta, and Miami, SEC has nothing.

I would give the PAC one advantage over the other conferences, the PAC 12 can bring in about 4 more schools with them, perfect if you want to add Oklahoma, OSU and Kansas.

SEC has about 2 spots open which means OSU would need to find a new home.

Big 10 has two spots open as well, but I think they reserve one of those for Notre Dame.

ACC No idea, they are already over bloated.

Never ever SEC

One of our recruiting advantages is academics.

From IT (weird):

JAKE RAULERSON

I had to pass this on because it's just so weird.

On graduation day last week, Raulerson gets a message from Charlie Strong. Strong wants Jake to call him. Jake calls him. That big mortarboarding son of a gun soon heads over to Strong's office, practically in his cap and gown. Strong explains to Jake the past is the past and the coach who kept him from playing last year is gone. Strong wants Raulerson to stay. Jake is somewhat amenable to this idea -- he loves the school after all.

The next step of course is for Jake to talk to the "new guys" Sterlin Gilbert and Matt Mattox. They couldn't have seemed less interested. I won't go into details on that but WTF is going on in Moncrief?

It gets weirder. It turns out Joe Wickline put in a good word for Jake at a couple of schools. I'll never figure this one out.

OrangeBloods confirmed this.

[TFloss32]

Scout has gone in the complete opposite direction and thinks OL Jake Raulerson will be staying at UT.

[TFloss32]

S Grant Delpit of Houston Lamar is one Texas prospect who will be transferring to IMG Academy.

[TFloss32]

[TFloss32]

24/7 spoke with the high school coach of OL Patrick Hudson.

He mentioned that if Hudson is released from his LOI, he will be considering A&M, TCU and Texas.

[TFloss32]

Since de-committing from Baylor, Inside Texas says S Donovan Stiner of Bellaire has decided to camp with UT next weekend.

Bust is the only option then.

UT is bigger than athletics.

Hard to fine 2 more likable kids than Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele.
