re: 2016 Recruiting Discussion

We are going to have several options at RB next year, unlike this year. My hope is we can generate more in the running game, thus taking some pressure off whoever we play at QB.

We had no outside running game this season outside of Murray occasionally getting around the edge.

I'd be happy with a game manager at QB who just hits open receivers, doesn't throw INTs, and can check into a better play at the LOS. Get that part down, please. Anything more than that is a bonus.

and Kliff Kingsbury was doddling on giving Baker Mayfield a scholly causing him to transfer.

Johnny Manziel wasn't recruited by any Texas schools other than A&M and Rice and Tom Rossley had to beg Sherman to take him.

Drew Brees couldn't even get offers from TCU or Baylor let alone any major schools in the region. He didn't get offers until December of his senior year and the two he got were Kentucky and Purdue.

Jordy Nelson got so few offers he ended up being a walk on at Kansas State.

Coaches thought so little of Michael Strahan he had to go play at Texas Southern.

JJ Watt started his playing days at Central Michigan where they thought his best position was at TE. He eventually became a walk on at Wisconsin before he was put at DT.

Kurt Warner ended up getting stuck at Northern Iowa and was stocking shelves at a grocery store before he became NFL MVP.


But hey, Hubes has no shot at being worth a damn b/c Gundy had him behind several other QBs.

I'm saying its stupid to just automatically assume he will suck.

He has looked pretty solid in his limited time on the field.

Case Keenum was a nobody with a pop-gun arm but he ran that Houston offense like a boss b/c he understood matchups really well and was good at getting the pass off fast.

At the very least Hubes seems to know how to get it out quick which is a huge improvement from what we would have with Murray. If he can read a D anywhere near as well as Allen we should be fine.

I don't think we can be 4-8 bad unless injuries hit in large numbers. I see us being 7-5 probably

You typically have reasonable and well backed predictions so thanks for the input

If you are going to judge his time by simply looking at stats your scouting skills suck arse.

He threw 47 touchdowns last year at blinn. That's not all him but it's nothing to scoff at.

It's hard to predict how he will do without knowing the offense. But it's not like we got outstanding QB play this year

Louisville has a bunch of very close wins against 3-4 win teams. Syracuse, BC, Kentucky, Wake Forest and Virginia. Their other two wins were Samford and NCSU.

If we can't beat them regardless of who is playing QB, Sumlin truly is incompetent.

Also, watch the Brandon Jones recruitment. It's starting to go south, and if he commits to Texas in the next few weeks that will turn the temperature up even more.

I'm telling you, it's any little thing at this point. Sumlin is just barely hanging on.
