  1. Leal will be a DT in college and/or NFL. he has a massive frame with freakish athletic ability for someone that size. he would be unique and special as an interior Dlineman. he is just another guy on the edge.
  2. well he is a cross between joe montana, john elway, and tom brady so im not sure what else i can say! i think this was a very smart move by the coaches. it helps offset the very real Baldwin effect from Ohio State and it puts Texas in the perfect position to offer at QB if after the second game, Hudson is as dominant as we all know he will be. they dont call him Hudson "jim thorpe" Card for nothing! i think its a good sign wrt Wilson.
  3. i dont think the offense on the field has to look like the second coming of the Rams' Greatest Show on Earth. i think Herman has to be able to sell a vision of the future: an improved line, improved QB play through a Jr Sam and Rising thereafter, an improved run game (Ingram, Cain, Evans), and a shitload of other great receivers. If he can't do that, we are fucked with Wilson and every other top offensive talent coming to visit. But if he can....
  4. i dont understand what you are saying but if you are saying that the recruiting industry doesnt regularly overreact when a recruit has a good visit then i dont know what to tell you. they get it wrong all of the time.
  5. i am as close as it gets but if i am wrong it wont be because of that. it will be that Wilson didnt see what he needed to see from Texas. i think he will see what he needs and i think herman will be able to offset the gains OSU made.
  6. Its not that conflicting. He was disruptive but he also took plays off when he got tired.
  7. Nah, thats not what happened. He didnt tell Higgins anything. He didnt commit to OSU.
  8. I cant or wont get further into details here. I am not less confident. I expected Urbs to do what he does and make a big push. He is a great, great recruiter. I saw that first hand with Baldwin. But I expect Herman to do the same thing and counter Urbs. If all things are equal, Wilson is going to Texas.
  9. Everything I have heard, parents, teammates, Texas coaches, all believe that Wilson has not made up his mind at this point. I would not take Higgins' comment over Wilson's parents, his best friends or the Texas coaches. That said, OSU definitely made a strong pitch and became a viable option. Baldwin played a big role in that discussion. I stand by my statement that if Texas gives him a reason to commit, he will be a Longhorn. His parents want him at Texas. He wants to be part of the group that brings Texas back. I trust Herman, Naivar, Washington, Carrington, and Huff will do what it takes to get him in burnt orange. As for Leal, he definitely was not the best DLineman LT played against last season. Ojomo was the best LT played all season. But Leal had the highest ceiling due to his size, frame and overall ability to move so well for a guy that big. Leal took a lot of plays off and got winded pretty quickly into both games. He was singled most of both games by LT's right tackle who will be playing at Midwestern State in the Fall. Although, LT did chip him with a back and TE at times. So while he was the best prospect from a size, speed, movement perspective, he wasnt as disruptive or as effective as Ojomo. If I had to take one or the other, it would be Leal based on his ceiling.
  10. I like Leal as a prospect. I had dreams of a D-line of Leal - Coburn - Mojo - Ossai i have a lot of faith in Herman as a recruiter. i think we find our way back into this one.
  11. I think he wants to see continued progress, development, and evolution of the offense. It's more about hope and being able to see that he can be productive in it rather than specific plays. The offense was a trainwreck at times last season. Qb needs to look better. Offensive line needs to be serviceable. I think Herman will deliver.
  12. I'm not worried. My info comes from both sides in this recruitment. If Texas shows Wilson a passing offense, he will be a Longhorn.
  13. The conversation with Card has been that they love him as an athlete but want to wait to see how he plays this season before offering at QB. Coaches and Card are very optimistic how the season will go and an offer coming as a result.
  14. Garrett wants to commit now and get it out of the way before the season. OSU did a great job. The Buckeyes made it a harder decision than originally thought. But he loves Texas and his parents love Texas. Texas just needs to give him a reason (a passing game) to commit. It also wouldn't hurt if Texas keeps recruiting Hudson "Jim Thorpe' Card to negate the Matthew Baldwin recruiting pitch.
  15. We just need to show him we actually have a functioning passing offense. Btw, the new OC at LT is in the middle of installing a lot of Herman's concepts and plays as LT's new offense. Wilson knows the scheme and he really likes it. He just needs to see UT execute it as well as LT... *runs and ducks*
  16. if you read the government's response, they had already seized and were monitoring Cohen's emails. they knew what they were going to find before they executed the search.
  17. You are. Wilson wants to go to Texas. He would have already committed if our offense wasn't an issue. He needs to see Sam, Shane and Rising throw the ball around at the Spring Game. He needs to see that really great group of receivers put on a show. Ohio State is his fall back in case Herman isnt able to convince him the offense will be functional and able to showcase his skills.
