Per Gerry (IT) on Solomon Williams:
PK made an in-home visit with Williams Monday.
PK is scheduled to be back in Tampa next Monday, possibly with Steve Sarkisian.
Saban will make an in-home next Tuesday.
IT still unsure on how hard Texas plans to push for this commitment.
No, but to be fair IT never tried to sell it as such. Justin Wells has always said that Williams was ‘locked in’ with Georgia but that if he did decide to reconsider Texas would the other school he’d consider. Williams never stopped communicating with the Texas staff.
From SeaTac, where it’s still Friday, waiting to board my red eye flight to Dallas to watch the Longhorns beat the shit out of the last of the hateful 8.
FIGHT.
I don't know if any of that is true - but it is a really weird dynamic that so many were more worried about retaining Robinson than who they hired as HC. We have had assts like Traylor and Carrington in recent memory that had their legion of Stans - but I don't remember making HC decisions on whether or not the new guy was going to retain them.
Gerry (IT) wouldn’t confirm that an OV is scheduled - but he said that the expectation is that Filsaime will be at Texas the weekend of the 8th. Sounds like this was setup but wasn’t supposed to be public yet.
Gerry & Bobby (IT) said this morning that there has been no communication between Wells and Texas, back-channel, front channel or any other. Bobby thinks this is an agent getting Texas name out there to get other schools to bump up their offer. Said to expect this a lot.
