There's definitely been some drama lately. Here's what Zach Evans said about not including Texas in his top 5: “It’s just … you don’t know how to put it,” Evans told 247Sports as a part of a wide-ranging interview. “I don’t want to be disrespectful. I ain’t saying (Texas) can’t win a natty. It’s just at the moment [Texas is] not quite there. You beat Georgia but you barely beat Georgia. What about when it comes to a Bama or go to a Clemson? "Texas is a good school, they coming up. It's just ... I don't know." And here is Kelee Ringo's reaction on Instagram: Spoiler We may have won the Sugar Bowl, but our early summer recruiting momentum doesn't reflect it. It's hard to believe Herman and Co just didn't want to deal with the waiting game for a recruit like Evans. I'm sure we're getting negatively recruited heavily, so we can't really have any dead weight on the staff.
Zach Evans and Ringo had the potential to be program-changing players for us, and it hurts to seemingly be out of the running for both already. There is a bit of a silver lining knowing that the running back class is stacked, and we should be able to get another five-star RB like Bijan Robinson. We also do not have to take Damieon George at OT in a package deal with Evans anymore. Getting Bijan Robinson and Ja'Quinden Jackson this summer would get us going again in the right direction.
Texas just has to win. It's a simple question. I'm really excited about the defense this year. I wish we would have seen more of Coburn last year but he's going to be a hoss for us for the next few years.
Yup hard to complain about recruiting under Herman but going from perceived leaders to out of the running is hard to swallow. Just need to win.
Yep. **** 'em. Kick ass and let the chips fall where they may. I do like the tweets from the current players.
Bru officially gone. Had really high expectations for him but transferring twice in the span of 6 months probably a big red flag.
Or an 18 year old home sick kid. Moving away from home at 18 into a totally different environment isn't for everyone. Read he was worried about Drew Mehringer, his lead recruiter possibly being let go as he is only on a1 year extension. just sounds like a cop-out to me but whateves. I really dont think he really ever wanted to play for anyone but the Trojans. Not much they can do about that. https://247sports.com/college/texas...Herman-Sam-Ehlinger-Drew-Mehringer-132480514/
Ya not trying to knock on the kid too much but not returning calls/texts for weeks is pretty damn immature, even for an 18 year old.
Zach Evans made a surprise visit last week to UT last week. While unlikely, we aren't completely out of the running. 5 star RB, Bijan Robinson seems to be our top target for RB
Texas had their Summer Heat wave pool party/recruiting weekend last weekend. They hosted a lot of big names. It seems all the reactions are on pay sites. Does anybody know how it went? What everybody thought? Are we looking good with Bijan Robinson and Kelee Ringo? Those guys could really be difference makers. If anybody has some notes from paysites, I would greatly appreciate it!
If you're willing to put up with the BS and sift through some forum pages, users on this site take paywalled recruiting content and repost it Spoiler https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/forum/6-995/ Otherwise, we're in the dead period until July 25, so it's mostly speculation right now.
Supposedly looking good for Robinson. A lot of chatter that Ringo is Georgia bound but thought I read he still has his official visit to Texas planned for during the season. Herman just needs to win.
Seriously? I could only guess what the worst In the last 30 years was. Wow The whole setup is going to come crashing down sooner then most people would guess.
That the highest gpa in over 100 years of football is not even a 3.0 And that the current system is dumb/stupid/etc/etc/etc There should be some type of compensation for the players and they should not have a full time slate of classes. Part time should be ok, along with after football they should be able to go finish their degree. There is no way they are getting the most of the classes having all of the other stuff going on. A 2.89 as an all time high is pathetic.
