TE Reese Leitao [Texas - Signed LOI]

[NebraskaHarry]

Career record at Texas will be: 33-27.

PeeWee Herman ain't ready for that Texas Culture.

Book It.

Is this is a coping mechanism for individuals who have a hard time losing recruits?

 

[AZRaiderH8r]

Lol, that's the problem with kids these days. It goes for our commits too, commits everywhere.

"I'm currently committed to..." as if the word commitment implies some temporary resolution.

Yeah, very odd. If I'm Texas I think I'd be a bit concerned about that.

I'm okay with losing Leitao. Just pointing out the facts and issues that go with Texas football.

Well I guess if you say those are facts. What's Nebraska's record gonna be in that time frame? Or do you only know Texas' future?

 

[Decked]

Herman is a great coach now with fantastic fan support, wealth, facilities, and a national brand at his disposal. I think he does well.

 

[ScottyIce]

LOL.

Who was more successful at their previous job and at a higher conference level?

Strong or Herman?

Louisville or Houston?

Don't paint the picture one way brotha.

Let's see how Herman does, but he ain't great yet.

Meant that it's a fact Texas has a difficult culture surrounding it.

"I'm currently committed to..." as if the word commitment implies some temporary resolution.

I've been saying for years that the problem isn't the kids or how they're conducting their recruiting, but the use of the word "commitment" itself. It's the wrong word because in recruiting it is indeed a temporary resolution. Signing the LOI is a commitment, verbally saying you're probably going to a school is not.

Part of the problem is in finding a word to replace it with: intention? loose agreement? place holder? Anybody got a word that means "intends to do something but is not committed to it"?

He produced at Houston and upped their talent level in year 1 on the job. Pretty safe pick that he does well in a pedestrian Big 12.

 

[NebraskaHarry]

Texas will probably win 11 - 12 games next year

 

[Savage Husker]

Strong won't get the credit and probably wasn't the overall best fit, but he cleared the way for Herman to succeed early.

 

[ScottyIce]

Guess we will see

Isn't that exactly what Strong did at Louisville? Things didn't go so great for him. I think Herman will be alright at UT but things aren't as automatic as some make them out to be.
