Opens the question, the last two coaches brought their friends here despite not being top notch coaches, as the University demands. Were they not allowed to find the best coaches due to financial constraints? Or, were they just too dumb and loyal to see the coaches for who they are?
I might understand that flaw in Strong, but then Herman did the same damn thing. I have never understood it since we supposedly had to give in to anything he wanted to come here.
Does CDC have the sand to correct this seemingly systemic issue?
Texas shouldn't be the fat pig you bring your buddies to feed off of.
That's what coaches do. Sometimes because they're blind. Loyal to a fault/whatever. Other times it's just to get coaches you know on board in a pinch to help you kick off your new gig, and then adjust from there. You gotta get you and a staff on the 'crootin trail asap, so you get in a rush and throw the best you can together in a very short amount of time.
Going into year three, Herman has had more than enough time to evaluate his staff and other coaches on other staffs/risers, and should be adjusting his staff for the better.
We.Shall.See.

Yeah, these are all problems. The bigger problem for me is that Katy players are usually maxed out by the time they hit college. They've been in an amazing weight program and an amazing conditioning program from youth sports forward. They're hitting their ceilings by the time they're walking onto campus. Is that 100% true? Absolutely not. Is it more true than pretty much any other program in the entire country? Yes.
Show me the next Katy guy that has raw talent to mine and mold into a raging college talent with high draft pick potential and I'll tell you he's the first. You'll then argue with me about Rodney Anderson or Moro Ojomo or some other guy I forgot, but you get the point.
Ugh. That makes sense.

Starting at the 1:03 mark of his Sr. hudl film, there's actually 3-4 plays showing him shaking tacklers and picking up chunks of yardage.
Comparing the level of competition between Carthage and Katy isn't exactly apples to apples either.
I'll be as shit pissed as anyone if we don't land any of the other 4 rb's that are mentioned as being on the board, but lets not pretend he's Tristan Houston 2.0.
Yah, he actually has some good first cut and shake to him. Nothing too fancy, but more than just running straight ahead.

Jamaal graduated from Texas when Cain was 8 years old. Benson graduated when Cain was 5 years old. You may as well tell him he's Earl Campbell.
Foreman didn't have a bad run in Houston last year up until his achilles blew'd up.
But yah. Hard sell.
You gotta sell some of these kids on Hand, the future of the offensive line just as much as anything. And to an extent sell them on themselves. The current situation.

I think they're just trying, but failing to build suspense before dig ING day, per usual. I don't believe it. I think he's a horn, unless of course Sanders is, and the I'll switch tactics and believe that because I'm bipolar.
I think the staff is really all in on Glass, so Sanders and Cain have been told to look elsewhere.

but I highly doubt Cain is stupid enough to believe he'll be the next Barkley, who's a generational talent
Of course he's stupid enough. That's one thing that helps some great players be great players: telling themselves they can be as great as they want. If not, why try?
Plus, maybe we're taking Mach's quote of "the next barkley" too literal. It basically means -and make no doubt they've told him this- that "we know how to handle, develop and scheme running backs like you."

Why, you think he's too old for their staff?
Oh damn I put that one up on a tee.

They're probably selling him on being the next Saquon Barkley.
"They told me I could be the next Saquon Barkley, so I'm sorry but I have to go there."
"That's fine. Go be a follower. But we think you could come here, and we tell a recruit four years from now they can be the next Noah Cain, who just took Saquon Barkley's job his rookie year he's so good."
There's your pitch, Tom. Get on it.

The meltdown on our 247 board is epic, I'm sure, as EJ has been leading on the subscribers about McCoy, Cain, and Sanders for months now.
Hell, and Cain was CB'd to the good guys just two days ago by A&M guy. Lame
-
I know we don't feel good about Sanders, but does the staff actually feel that good about Sanders right now?
PSU, I just didn't see PSU coming on Cain.

Looks like another Stanford CB in for Higgins. Guess he is getting accepted.

On the board I post the most on, there were a bunch of frequent recruiting posters who didn't want him in the class due to what they thought was a poor senior season hudl and celebrated when he decommitted, and some who thought he was Hollywood Brown 2.0 because of his fast sophomore track season 100m dash time. I was in the middle and fine with him as a bottom of the class z-receiver fit, and I'm fine with him being gone, regardless of how the mechanics of how he decommitted went.
Seems fair. I've only really read analysis of him and haven't watched. Can't coach speed, but you can find it a little easier at this level, then focus on coaching the head.
Hope that's the case here.

It's clear OU isn't prioritizing him right now, but if they miss on a couple of WRs he could easily end up in their class and validate the "he was good enough for Lincoln Riley" crowd
Yah, guess I'm just trying to understand what else could be going on, outside of "this was mutual", because though absolutely possible, I don't wanna be "thaaattt" guy.

I've heard classing accounts of how interested the staff was in him, but I lean towards they were fine with him leaving
I mean, we're how far along after his de-commitment and things are still very quiet on his end? hm

no way for most of use to validate this statement but it reeks of aggy level bs. we offered the guy and accepted his commitment for many many months. now a few weeks before signing, we supposedly cool off and are indifferent? this goes against the whole herman's "we don't just offer any and everyone approach". no motherfucker, we didn't just offer, we accepted and were giddy at his commitment.
kinda sounds aggy to me, too, but I still don't see that OU offer...
This is a weird one.

It's a good reminder for us here the good work Tom and his staff have done putting this class together. Texas being down for so long + Jimbo coming in with all the press and wearing cowboy boots and yada yada didn't leave much room for Herman to mess around and drudge along in state, yet Tom and Co have STILL pulled some great in state prospects.
Go ahead, get it out of your system, Aggy.

A few good options to replace, but not ideal.
