@AnwarRichardson
Souces have indicated Texas director of recruiting Bryan Carrington is flying out to USC to interview for a non-coaching position on Friday. It appears Carrington has been offered a position that will allow him to expand out of his current recruiting role.
This is why I asked earlier if Carrington was still with us.
We have some good recruiters coming in with the new staff and one apparently great recruiter and what does he Carrington do? by airline tickets for the coach who has made contact and write it down on the calendar of where all the coaches will be going?. USC also has our old D coordinator and so it seems its safer for your job if you can coach and recruit. I was asking myself what a pure recruiter could do to impress a kid. Tell him about how good the other coaches are? Say Austin is a great place, here I will show you around? Lets go meet all these people... who will really have the closer relationships with you, the recruit?
I just dont get how some of this stuff works. I guess Carrington could also keep up with every single post a highly sought after kid might post on social media to make sure we were still good with them? What? I will help Sell your brand?
May be better off if Sark didn’t see any purpose in keeping him around so be it. His powers were magical for a brief run but even his prowess as a recruiter seemed to die off with the rest of the old staff. Didn’t have the same pull and nobody was really mentioning him even with the few kids we we’re able to hang onto.
I think it will be hard to find another Carrington if we lose him, what is the job description? Must be cool, must be able to tell kids about Texas and make them like you. We could go the Aggy way, must have huge knockers.
Past time for BC to seek greener pastures

Reese Leitao is moving on from Texas and plans on going to medical school.
Possible replacements for BC, per 24/7:
Mason Smith, Recruiting Specialist, Mississippi State
Smith is young, but he made a huge mark in his first year at Mississippi State. If you noticed that the Bulldogs made a big impression in Texas this year, Smith is a huge reason why. A native of Houston, Smith is experienced in recruiting Texas and Louisiana. When talking with kids and families Mississippi State was recruiting, his name came up multiple times. Smith was a big reason the Bulldogs landed Sawyer Robertson, Daniel Greek and Teddy Knox. He also had a huge hand in Mississippi State picking up transfers KJ Costello and Tyrell Shavers. It would likely be easy to get him back to Texas as he has family in the Houston area and recruits that area quite a bit.
Cooper Petagna, Director of Recruiting, Oregon
Petagna serves as Director of Recruiting for the Ducks, and he’s another name I hear a lot about when talking about up and coming personnel analysts. Petagna is originally from the south and spent time working at Cincinnati, Michigan, LSU and Alabama before taking a job at Washington. A source told me Petagna was one of the most trusted evaluators for Chris Petersen at Washington, and he’s respected in multiple circles. Petagna has drawn NFL interest and I was told he knows how to organize and put a board together better than anyone in the country.
Alex Brown, Director of Football Recruiting/NFL Liasion, Rice
Brown might be a good candidate to replace Carrington as the two were really close friends. Brown worked closely with Carrington on Houston's recruiting staff under Tom Herman before moving on to Rice. Since making the move, Brown has the Owls recruiting at a higher level, and he's thought of as one of the up and coming evaluators and communicators in the business. Brown is likely headed for the professional ranks in the future, but a stop at Texas would make sense as he continues to make his way up the career ladder.
Ethan Young, Director of Player Personnel, UCLA
Young is known as one of the sharp up and comers in the business with west coast ties and legitimate recruiting chops. A Washington native, Young knows Sarkisian from his time in the Pacific Northwest, and he's experienced having worked in the NFL under Chip Kelly before joining him at UCLA as Director of Strategic Intelligence before moving to his current role. Young has a deep background in analytics and is tabbed as a fast riser in the industry.
Kerry Cooks, Defensive Analyst, Notre Dame
This might be a bit outside the box, but Cooks is currently an analyst at Notre Dame, and the Irving, Texas native has a strong reputation as a recruiter. If he wanted to get back closer to home, an off-field role could suit him perfectly. The former Iowa safety had stops as a coach at Minnesota, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. He knows the landscape well and has recruited this area for years. Cooks has an excellent reputation with high school coaches and could be a vital asset in a recruiting department.
Number one Smith, next Brown. Recruit Texas and Huston area.
I'm sorry but seeing a 6'5 guy dunk a basketball isn't too impressive to me. Poona Ford, yes impressive but that dude is at best 5'10
Poona and the 6’5” guy would need about the same vertical due to his long arms.
I think he moves very athletically for a center. I would be curious to see your video of other football centers dunking
He came to Texas under some very questionable cir stances with a rap as a drug dealer of sorts. Many including myself questioned honoring his offer. However while at Texas he was a good student (evidently) but he never got in a bit of trouble and now he is going to make drug dealing a legal profession. I'm very happy Leitao had the opportunity to play college football and now can live out his dreams. He was the experiment that paid off.
Never categorized it as a Center or not. I was talking about height. 6'5 compared to 5'10 is the comparison I said.
