    Thanks. I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media,

Please somebody tell me this is somewhere near the last gosh damn nail in the coffin. Recruiting is fucked, we can’t win with a veteran team, and herman is talking about another coach already in his press conferences. How bad do we have to derail for somebody to put us out of our misery? I’m also aware that we are 5-2 with a small chance to play for a conference title lol. Shiny bucket full of shit, that’s what we are currently. 

It doesn't say 110% committed
He also didn't ask us to respect his decision.

Which is good.

Because I don't.

We haven’t made it through winter yet which is flu season, and the canceled or rescheduled games are rising weekly. Take it easy Karen. More people dying makes football seem less important. You don’t know shit about what they will or won’t do. Neither do I though to be fair.

But again. If they didn’t cancel this season, they sure as shit aren’t cancelling next season.

In Caleb's defense.. he was always leaning toward playing OOS.  He had some quotes..might have still been around the EJ days, that he was ready to experience something different.  Been in Austin all his life or something close to that.  Good luck kid.. I can't get too mad right now.. all I want is Tom to be replaced soon..I'll worry about the 22 class in the new year.

Spot on. There’s one person at fault .. one common denominator .. and it’s not any of the kids who’re choosing what’s best for their football aspirations.

So how does a 2022 WR stay a 5-Star when he misses most of his Junior Year due to a knee injury???

As few 5-Stars as there are, it just seems like he would be dropped to a 4-Star until he comes back healthy and proves he's worthy of a 5-Star rating.

Putting Ohio State’s recruiting dominance in Texas into perspective

GettyImages-1229388606-1024x683.jpg
By Ari Wasserman Nov 23, 2020 comment-icon.png 23 save-icon.png

Tom Herman was hired at Texas a few months before the 2017 recruiting class signed, but his nightmare had already started: Another program came into his talent-rich state and took three of the most coveted players away. Herman’s program should be the one — when things are humming — that is the natural landing spot for these elite-level prospects.

Herman was familiar with the program that had infiltrated his state, too. He helped it win a national title a few years earlier. And ironically, he was instrumental in starting the Texas-to-Ohio pipeline while an assistant under Urban Meyer from 2012-14.

You can’t blame Herman for what occurred in 2017, when Ohio State signed five-star cornerback Jeff Okudah of South Grand Prairie High, five-star linebacker Baron Browning of Kennedale High and four-star all-purpose back J.K. Dobbins of La Grange High (also a top-50 national prospect). He had, after all, not been on the job long enough to form any kind of relationship with those players.

But you can blame him that the 2017 class was not merely a blip on the radar. It’s still happening more than four years later.

On Monday evening, Ohio State earned a commitment from Class of 2022 five-star receiver Caleb Burton of Del Valle High — less than a week removed from the Buckeyes landing five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers of Southlake Carroll, the No. 2 overall player and the No. 1 quarterback in the 2022 class. Ewers was once committed to Texas, but he broke his pledge to the Longhorns less than a month ago before ultimately committing to Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. The second Ewers decommitted from Texas, Ohio State became the clear favorite to land him.

So let’s do the math here: Since 2017, Ohio State has landed seven five-star prospects out of Texas, and that doesn’t include Dobbins, who was a high four-star and the No. 46 overall player in the class. During that same span, Texas has landed only four five-star prospects in its own state.

If you want a reason Texas isn’t “back,” this would be a good place to start.

Yes, it’s unreasonable to expect Herman to dominate his state in the same manner as other coaches at prominent state schools because Texas is an extremely difficult place to recruit. It’s an enormous state geographically, and given the depth of talent, Texas couldn’t possibly land close to all of the top players. Also, there are multiple Power 5 schools in the state — including TCU, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Baylor — and every SEC powerhouse recruits Texas as well.

So does Ohio State, clearly.

But patterns like this? They are troublesome for Herman, especially when you’re talking about a prospect such as Ewers — a program-altering, homegrown quarterback who could be the missing link between middling around in the Big 12 and actually winning the conference, and, dare to dream, even more.

Day and his receivers coach, Brian Hartline, deserve a ton of credit for these recruiting wins. Here’s an attempt to explain just how much talent they are accumulating (and it sounds like hyperbole, though it isn’t). If you were to take only the receiver and quarterback talent the Buckeyes have either signed or have committed from 2019-22, it would be enough to prop up multiple other conferences. You read that right — conferences, not teams.

Let’s put that to the test. Each team gets two:

• Jack Miller and Jaxon Smith-Njigba

• CJ Stroud and Julian Fleming

• Kyle McCord and Caleb Burton

• Quinn Ewers and Garrett Wilson

There are the quarterback and receiver building blocks for at least four teams that could eventually lead to a conference championship. Four of the eight players listed above are from Texas. That is downright absurd.

The main reason Ohio State is an annual national title contender is how much pure talent it amasses. You may think, “Well, half of those players are going to transfer in the next few years.” Maybe so, but that means Ohio State’s 2022 roster will comprise the best versions of these elite-level prospects, all while keeping the leftovers off of a potential rival’s roster — for a few years at least. It’s pretty remarkable.

There’s no telling what the future holds for Herman, who, in fairness, has “Crystal Ball” predictions on 247Sports for two other five-star prospects in Texas in the 2022 class. But one thing is certain: It’s hard to imagine the Longhorns as a legitimate national title contender until this trend changes.

It’s truly incredible what Ohio State is doing in the Lone Star State.

It’s also very concerning for Herman and Texas.

this job was way to big for Charlie and obviously too big for Herman as well.  he could survive just losing to OU like Mack if your are still pulling high 4 and and a few 5 stars in state and beating others. He's losing in state kids on the reg.  He loses to Patterson/Rhule/etc.  he needs to be gone.  we seem to do better on the 3rd attempt anyway. 

We need someone who has real coaching genes(and not BS marketing fluff) and will bring the best of the best to be assistants and recruiters.
