girlknowsfootball Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nebraska still sticks in Texas kids heads as being a running school... this bodes well for us getting RB's like Burkhead, robinson, and hopefully Green...a lot of Texas fans see UT as a Pocket Passing team this year because of Gilbert's lack of speed and elusiveness as well as the number of high profile receivers Texas has been able to bring in and stack depth at. Supposedly Texas wants to bring the run game back this year and has changed its scheme to improve downhill running... they'd better because without an improved run game scheme, and Colt McCoy's scrambling abilities, if they don't bring in some run scheme that works well they will be a pass offense...Mac Brown's not an idiot... he knows this, and he knows he has some attractive things to offer young backs/recruits...

NoKoolAidForME Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Texas already has five commitments from big time OL prospects for 2011. One of which is Christian Westerman from Chandler, AZ. They signed 2 last year and 4 the year before. I think from the time they sign Garret Gilbert there was a thought to go the a pro style offense and as soon as the MNC hopes we crushed were crush with Colts shoulder injury it was cemented. They have realized that when you are one dimensional it makes it just that much easier to be shut down. From what I hear from my friends down in Texas the song that Mack is selling to recruits these days is look what we were able to do with a one sided offense. Imagine what it will be with a running game as well. Link to comment

Every team plays a style that their players allow them to play. Florida isn't going to take their next QB and run him like Tebow. Gilbert is pro-style and Texas will have a pro-style offense next year. Like NoKoolAid said, they have gotten some great oline recruits which will allow them to run more. Gilbert's lack of elusiveness tells me the RB will be more important this year....not that they will only pass the ball. Do you think Nebraska wanted our offense to look like it did last year? We didn't have a choice....we played conservative b/c that allowed NU to win games. Link to comment
Enhance Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I wouldn't expect a rush from Aaron. I'd be really surprised if he pulled the trigger before the season. An HI interview with Green confirmed that he is going to wait until signing day to make his decision. Green said that waiting until signing day has always been the way he wanted to do it, and never really considered doing it any other way. Link to comment

I think I read that, but you hear a lot of guys saying they're going to wait. Maybe he will make it all the way to signing day, but if you know where your heart's at, I wouldn't be surprised if he committed during the season sometime. Link to comment

Christian Westerman originally planned to announce his college choice at the Army All-American game next year. Link to comment
Apathy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Herschel Sims committed to Oklahoma State. He was looking at getting an offer from Texas if either Malcom Brown and/or Aaron Green didn't accept their Texas offer. Maybe Sims knows something that the Texas coaches have told him that both Green and Brown attend on accepting their Texas offer or Sims just got tired of waiting for a Texas offer and decided to pull the trigger.

I'm going to guess he got tired of waiting. He is a good back and didn't want to wait since it looks like both Green and Brown will wait for a while. Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I predict Brown to Texas, Green to NU. Brown will decide first, Green might give a silent to the coaching staff but will announce in Jan or Feb. Link to comment

He might just be saying that to keep people off his back. Also, a big time talent like him will probably take quite a bit of gruff if he leaves the state of Texas already having a Texas offer in hand. Link to comment

If not, then I say to the people that give him gruff maybe they should have recruited his brother and maybe then he wouldn't be leaving. This is of course if he does actully decide to be N.

EZ-E Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Texas did not at all give Andrew a sniff. OU offered Andrew at the end of the process after they learned that Andrew and Aaron both want to play together in college badly. Link to comment
bbeerma2 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Quite frankly, it's smart to wait it out and see how we do this season before you pull the trigger. Maybe he's got a head on his shoulders and knows that the season will illuminate more about each team and give him a better perspective. No reason to pull the trigger if we morph our offense or our O-line looks like he will get killed here. 1 Link to comment
Apathy Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Ever since the evaluation period began there have only been two schools to visit Green at his school: Air Force and Nebraska. Tim Beck and Ron Brown were the two coaches to have visited Green at his school yesterday April 30th. This should show Green how much Nebraska really wants him while in state Texas just sits back and does nothing. 1 Link to comment
