jk Thanks for the great info you and Godz pass along to us! It is greatly appreciated!
Now get started on 2018 jk :fiestanana:
 
Hey, maybe there will be a bunch of Baylor players released from their scholarships we can sort through in the 2018 class.
 
Don't agree 2017 is dismal class tho
thought it was total click bait. easy talk journalism.

we knew the class was going to be smaller. our star avg was Top 15. just not informed or honest.

we did whiff on a few big dawgs late in the process. that is true. they were misses. and fans were disappointed because we're used to mack and charlie making us feel good on signing day.

but overall, it's a pretty good class as "*" go.

Huge weekend for recruiting
Lots of big fish in our little pond
Herman has put together an enviable list of junior visitors
As long as we win this season, we should have a great 2017 class
 
I have been impressed with the social media hire we took from Bama. Everything I see he does is impressive!
 
Some takeaways on the weekend from Hookem365

5 Biggest Takeaways from this weekend:
1. The Facilities are getting a facelift very very soon. I had more than a few prospects tell me that not only were they shown the designs for the renovations but that once done, they will be among the best in the country. Jonathon Shepard told me that " Texas is fixing to undergo a HUGE renovation so it should be a competitor as soon as they get that done" also that while they show'd them the future " they were very realistic during this junior day they told us that they didn't want to fluff up anything they wanted it to be like a real feeling as if we have been there the whole time".

2. Top prospects are listening. Most kids I've talked to coming out of Jr. Day listed Texas in the Top three after this weekend.They not only showed off the history of the University but where it's going. And one DL Otito Ogbonnia thinks that the prospects are buying in "Coach Herman was always talking about he revolution and with that I like how they were going to do a lot of renovation and really revolutionize how it's been over the years. With what he has planned they will surely win some games and have a top 5 recruiting class. I think everyone there yesterday were really starting to buy in to what he was saying, which will lead to some top commitments."

3.Tom Herman wants the current team involved with the recruiting process. Not only did players on the team host prospects like usual but were also at the Jr.Day itself tweeting and taking photos with the recruits to make them feel like they are part of the team already.

4.I've been told several times that what stood out the most wasn't the renovations or the football talk but the amount of time the coaches took talking to them about their families and what they want out of life. We all loved coach Strong for wanting to help the players lives and it doesn't feel like Coach Herman will be much of a drop off in that regard.

5. This isn't a rebuild but truly a revolution. I get the sense that Tom doesn't think this has to be a slow year or a rebuild "learning" season. He feels like he can win now and has put all his chips on the table.
