Lache Seastrunk

guys, i'm sorry but football recruiting is going the way of basketball recruiting. Do you think it's a coincidence that one of Darrel Scotts coaches now magically appears on CU's recruiting staff? Mack doesn't play those games and never will. Sometime soon Texas will be crossed off Lache Seastrunk's list of Favs and some will wonder why Mack stopped recruiting the kid.
 
I drove through Temple on my way to the game on Sat. and I saw a billboard that said "Congratulations LSU College Football Champions 2007."

Seems like Les Miles is really trying to get this kid......I hate recruiting like this.

I've seen that billboard a few times. I'm sure it was just some obnoxious prick of an LSU alum who wanted to drop that right in the heart of Texas. I wouldn't be surprised though if that alum put it there for Lache to see.
 
There was a nice little profile on him at halftime of the Lake Travis Westlake game last night. According the profile, he won't commit until after his senior year is done. By the way, he sounded like a great kid based on the interview last night. We (or anybody else) would be lucky to have him. He's going to be a great player and great representative for whatever school he chooses.
 
76 yd TD run in the 1st half tonight. I left midway through the 4th so not sure if he added much after that. I'd say he was probably 15 - 125 at that pt (just guessing). Reminds me a lttle of Ramonce. He is obviously faster than everyone else but always seems to be waiting to hit the homerun. He cut back a few times tonight running sideline to sideline only to gain a few yards, in most cases. On one inside move he showed very nice lateral moves. Not really a fan of the Temple offense. It is very much run oriented and their QB doesn't provide much so teams should be stacked up to stop Lache.

On the Cedar Park side I was real impressed with Holmes Onwukaife. I thought he looked to be more polished than Okafor last week from Pflugerville. He might not have the upside Okafor does (he's shorter than Okafor), but Holmes looks like he was more ready to play college ball. Not bad for a 2010 grad. I'd say he is a keeper.
 
Not to steal Lache's thunder but if we miss out on him there is a Sophomore running back from San Antonio Madison who looks to be just as good. Aaron Green from SA Madison just rushed for 428 yards and 9 TDs against Kerrville Tivy on Thursday. He is 15 years old and he is the nephew of former KC chief Gary Green.

So the way I look at it there is always going to be another great back coming out of this great state.
 
In regards to this:

Yeah, I saw that too, a few weeks back and was wondering to myself what in the hell is that all about. Why would such a billboard about LSU football appear deep in the heart of Texas? What would motivate someone to put up such a billboard in Temple, Texas, of all places? Well, maybe now we have an answer. Who knows for sure? Just speculation on my part.

Amazing that Temple's biggest threat only got 12 touches. I'm not sure he is big enought to handle 20 - 25 touches, but they need to get him atleast 15 - 18.
 
I went to the game as well just to see Lache play but was rather disappointed. I know Temple lost a good number of starters from last year so it was expected. The 70+ yard TD was a bit of a blur when it happened but it was impressive to see Lache get through the tightest of holes. Temple does not utilize him as a featured back and at half time he had less than ten touches. He is an explosive player as you can tell from the highlights on youtube. It was a shame to see someone with that explosiveness under utilized. I wonder if it is his size that will keep him from getting the touches.
 
It could be that maybe the Temple coaches are just retards? Don't know for sure just puttin' it out there. Doesn't seem like Temple has made the best of hires after McQueen.
 
for high school, even 5A, his size is fine. fozzy was smaller and got workhorsed in high school. so did hodges, so did jerrell wilkerson, etc. no fewer than 50% of temple's plays should be run through seastrunk. the rest of their team ain't that special. there are some good players, mind you, but not special.
 
I was looking at him on the sidelines while the defense was out there and all though it is hard to tell what a persons emotions are, it was evident that he was trying to get the team motivated. I am not sure what his attitude is like and if that is what is keeping him from touches but I guess his team mates and coaches know that for sure. It is only his junior year so there is at least 1 more year to turn things around if there is a problem. If his attitude is the issue, then there might be a problem. I am sure the added fame of his video highlights and the mass recruiting attention could negatively impact his attitude, especially if he doesn't get the reps. But then again, if he shows he is a team player despite the lack of touches, that would say a lot about his character.
 
You know Lache has a family member that posts here from time to time, I'm sure that person is not going to address any negative allegations but I sure would like to hear from her.
 
Bummer. Hopefully this is all just rumor and is incorrect - I wish these kids had more privacy. It would be a shame if a self-interested party steers him to a ttt like LSU.

There's plenty of time to work out any potential problems if they actually do exist.
 
Does anyone else think it's a little ironic that Lache's Aunt joined hornfans and came on here to defend Lache and all of his possibly undue criticism on this board and lately there's been more and more LSU speculation and even some rumors/criticism that comes with that and she is nowhere to be found. Hmm not a good sign for the good guys if you ask me.
 
It seems to me that a lot of folks are jumping the gun on this one. I seriously doubt the kid has any idea which way he's leaning just yet, beyond having a list of three or four schools he likes.

I'm also pretty sure no one is so plugged in to Mack's recruiting as to say for sure he is or isn't recruiting Seastrunk. As to Seastrunk having some kind of posse, or advisor, any kid with talent out there usually has some hangers on. If he's smart, he won't let himself be guided by someone else. If he's not smart, Mack will snap to it, and Seastrunk won't wear burnt orange.

I don't claim to be an expert on either Lache Seastrunk or UT recruiting, but I'm betting Texas winds up with a very good running back or two, no matter which school Seastrunk chooses in a couple of years. Meantime, he needs the space to enjoy his high school career without being forced to play the recruiting speculation game any more than he wants to.
