2018 Recruiting - Football

Just a suggestion. How about changing the name of this thread to 2018 recruiting and have Dion pin it and the new 2019 thread?

"Rondale Moore – The recent Texas commit is going to shine out here this week. He was the most explosive route-runner we saw and he looks downright scary out of the slot."​

Noticed that Woodard is already scheduled to be back in Austin for the July 21st camp.

Has to be good news for us right? (given his announce date)
 
TCU guru Jeremiah Glenn put in a CB of 4-star CB D'shawn Jamison (Hou Lamar) to Texas
In the past, he had him to TCU

DE Ronnie Perkins (St. Louis) will come to July 21 camp with LB Ayodele Adeoye --

“Texas is a great school. I’m really interested. They have a great tradition. Getting recruited by Coach Herman and Coach Giles has been exciting. I’m excited to get down there.”

“Coach Herman is a really excited guy. He has the ability to turn the program around as we saw when he was at Houston. Coach Giles is a great defensive line coach. I want to work with him when I’m down there.”

“I just want to build a better bond with the whole coaching staff and the team. I want to get a better look at the facilities and things like that. I just want to see everything.”​

He's a really good looking athlete for his size. I could even see him playing MLB if we needed him there. I hope we get him.
 
AAS article on Herman recruiting -- they have a different writer for this now (that last guy was not so bright)

".......... “They’re a top-five class right now and Texas is generating a lot of momentum in the state of Texas,” said Barton Simmons, the director of scouting at 247Sports. “But not only is he emphasizing the state and building momentum within Texas, he’s doing it while also still recruiting at a national level.

“If Texas can balance that and be the flagship program in Texas and still recruit nationally, that will be new for the Longhorns,” he added. “I’m not sure they’ve ever figured out that balance. To me, he’s laying a foundation to have that approach.”

Texas is filled with football prospects and pride. Seeing the Longhorns go outside of the state for talent isn’t something Texas high school football coaches enjoy. Strong caught heat for it early when he relied on his south Florida roots in recruiting. Herman will face similar backlash if wins don’t follow. Two out-of-state commitments — Oklahoma defensive end Ron Tatum and Florida wide receiver Justin Watkins — have already de-committed.

“You secure your backyard first, but if the store you normally shop in doesn’t have what you need, you have to go somewhere else to get it,” Elliott said. “If you can fill the need locally, that’s great. But if not, there should be nothing wrong with going to find it.”

It won’t be easy. Remaining the home for state’s top talent while balancing a national imprint as a recruiter can lead to headaches like de-commitments and bad press. It’s why it is hard to find programs in talent-rich states balancing a local and national presence in a real way.

The fact that you don’t see a lot of blueprints out there proves how tough that is. Texas is the program most equipped to do that because ultimately they are the biggest name in the state and when they’re good, they own the state and they are a national brand,” Simmons said. “In Florida, Georgia and California, there are more big fish in the pond. The big fish come to Texas to recruit, but they know who’s turf they’re stepping into. That’s the advantage Texas has.”

Now, all Herman needs to do is make Texas good again."​
