Strong Coaching Pedigree

[Peppermint Patty]

Malik's mom is going to be pissedhttp://texas.247sports.com/Bolt/Mack-Confirms-Cancelled-Visit--34644631

Why?
It's odd that Auburn enters the fray this late in the game. $$$$$

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Attention seekers dont prosper. Good luck to him. 

[braves24]

Auburn has that $$$

[UTfanatic]

This post has certainly hung around awhile.

[UTfanatic]

BTW

 

Malik looked good in the spring game.

 

It is really too bad thay A&M missed on him. They could use the help on D.

[UTfanatic]

Texas finally wins a game against and overrated WVU (who have they beaten?) and now they are progressing - but Texas fans seem to have a short memory - did not they lose 23 - 0 to a good team (not overrated)?

 

I have always stated that Strong was a good hire - but Texas has not been even close to the team that most predicted pre-season - Strong still has a long way to go to get Texas back into the NC chatter.

I only remember back to 1963, our first NC. 

 

I am not sure now. It may have been a dream. It is always on the LN.  :P  :P  :P  :P

Infatuated with Texas A&M Much?

 

ta&m, where the women are champions and the men are cheerleaders.

 

Seems to me you might want to be more concerned about your own team right now!

[UTfanatic]

My sig line has been that for a while.

 

When did A&M win in Womens BB? :P

2011 I think. 

[UTfanatic]

Maybe the women can win them another one!! :D  :D

​He got a 3 star o-lineman from Arlington Bowie. No big deal.

I like the new WR coach, Revell.

Has impressive resume. I hope it will translate to more production at the WR positions. 

Worst WR production in the last 10-15 years. I saw the players. I do not see the plays. 

Of coarse better QB play will mean better WR play, but at times, the WR's need to pick up the QB and catch the "not so perfect" pass and then do something YAC.

Better OL, WR, RB, TE, and QB play will be required for better offensive production in 2015. 

Also better defensive play will be required for better offensive production in 2015. 

[UTfanatic]

As a follow to my previous post.

2014 with worst offensive production at every position, including team production and special teams. 

How is that for brutal honesty?

​Two tiger cubs fighting in coach's office is probably breaking some NCAA/Power 5/SEC rule.

Du'Vonta Lampkin says transcript incomplete, but will UT let signee go? 

By Brian Davis - American-Statesman Staff 
June 1, 2015 @ 8:31 p.m. 

Recruiting is full of wild, almost unbelievable stories. The curious tale of Du'Vonta Lampkin is, shall we say, loco. 

The defensive tackle from Houston Cypress Falls appears to be tanking his 
academics just to avoid playing for the Longhorns. Only Texas might not 
let him go as freely as he hopes. 

When contacted Monday by the American-Statesman, Lampkin said, "I'm not trying to do any interviews." 

Asked whether his transcript was incomplete, Lampkin said, "Yeah, that's true." 

Asked whether he was indeed looking to land at Oklahoma, he said, "Hey, I got to go, man." Click. 

Whether the three-star lineman stays with his Texas pledge, heads to OU or goes 
elsewhere is a total mystery. The only thing certain is that as of 
Monday, Lampkin had not been released from his Texas letter of intent. 

"Charlie (Strong) and I haven't sat down and talked about it yet," Texas men's 
athletic director Steve Patterson told the American-Statesman. "Once we 
get a chance to talk, we'll look at it." 

This all began Saturday when Lampkin tweeted an out-of-the-blue apology to Texas fans that he 
wouldn't be on campus this fall. "Texas will always be in my heart but 
theres (sic) certain obstacles i have to face!" he tweeted. 

The Cypress Creek Mirror reported that he still had to complete a Spanish 
course to fulfill his foreign language requirements. Lampkin told the 
newspaper he didn't want to risk failing the Spanish course and have to 
enroll in junior college. 

"If anything, I may land at Oklahoma," Lampkin told the Mirror. "So, as soon as everything dials down, I'm 
going to contact (Bob) Stoops and see if they have any scholarships 
available for me." 

According to the National Letter of Intent program rules, if an athlete is denied admission to the university, then 
he or she is free to go elsewhere without penalty. 

The Texas admissions office could delay a decision for weeks, possibly months, and 
that could keep Lampkin sidelined through August training camp. Or he 
could even be given provisional entry status at UT. If that happened, 
all NLI penalty rules come into play, and he could lose a year of 
eligibility. 

And according to NCAA rules, coaches at other schools are not allowed to speak with players signed elsewhere.

Adios. If he don't want to be there, go somewhere else.

​I completely agree.  It does raise an interesting issue in my mind though.  Why are we okay with players changing their minds on commitments or transferring but get so upset when a coach pulls an offer or doesn't renew a scholarship?  Shouldn't that knife cut both ways?  Full disclaimer - I am as guilty as the next guy with the double standard.

[AggiesAreWe]

What about coaches that bail on their recruits?

​I am not mad at the kid. 

Once he commits, the university is obligated to keep their commitment IMO. Not for 1 year, but for 4 years.
