2013 Updated recruiting list

What the Heck??

I'm just going to ignore recruiting for a while

Hopefully we get the ball rolling after this weekend. Cody Thomas or Ty Slanina would be a great start!

Many players choose based on the number of drug dealers on the team. The more the merrier. I think I used that tactic on NCAA 12 once. That could be holding us back right now.

Not sure who will be 1st but get the impression Riley makes the call this weekend.

Already old.

Already old.

So let's make it really old before all the big 12 schools use it. They'll mock us for drug use and we'll mock them for lack of originality.

Pretty sure Matthews can run okay. He's another Dalton in appearance. We're not changing our offense, I'll guarrantee you that is wrong.

Why would you change what is working so well. The one thing that might happen differently, is the use of the tight end. And that is in question. Basically, we change nothing.

Not sure why anyone thinks that Matthews can run. I'm not saying that he can't. I'm saying that he hardly ever did in high school. Remember the good ole days of 2009 when all we ever heard about is how Casey is faster, more athletic and a better runner then Andy..... Horribly bad scouting as Casey looked at times terrible running the ball last year. We have definately changed our QB recruiting philosophy. We used to recruit duel threat QBs like Dalton. Now we don't seem to be focussing on any type of QB and recruit running threat QBs (Boykin) and pass first QBs (Matthews). Of all the QBs we have, the most like Andy Dalton is Austin Aune. It's dumb to say we ain't changing anything and I kind of agree that we are evolving more towards a pro-style offense.

Recent offer to Kyrin Priester WR 6-3/180/4.5 Snellville, GA (Brockwood) transfer from Lake Mary HS:

Not sure why anyone thinks that Matthews can run.

Pretty simple, we saw highlights of him where he ran effectively. Not a burner by any means, and he didn't rely on the run, but he was mobile (much like Dalton during his time at TCU)

We have definately changed our QB recruiting philosophy. We used to recruit duel threat QBs like Dalton.

Dalton was definitely not a dual-threat in high school. Jared Gayheart was Katy's running QB and Andy was their passing QB during Andy's junior year when Jared graduated (went on to play baseball at Rice), then Andy stepped into the full-time role as a senior, but was used almost entirely as a drop back passer.

Now we don't seem to be focussing on any type of QB and recruit running threat QBs (Boykin) and pass first QBs (Matthews). Of all the QBs we have, the most like Andy Dalton is Austin Aune.

We want smart kids that are excellent passers, if they can run it's a bonus. Yes, Boykin can run, but he has a cannon for an arm, arguably the strongest arm on the team.

The zone read is a small part of the offense, we're not going to change our entire QB recruiting philosophy based on one play. Sure, a running QB is great, but that is completely secondary in importance to whether they can make all the throws and make good decisions.

It's dumb to say we ain't changing anything and I kind of agree that we are evolving more towards a pro-style offense.

No it's not, and I doubt we are

Matthews is probably a better runner than Andy was when he arrived. He can motor okay.

Forget the wild posts.

 

[Mike Brooks]

Which is exactly why we sent out our first 2013 offer to Tyrone Swoopes! Duh!!!!!!!!

Nice response toots. If he comes to TCU and we think he is the next VY then you accommodate him. However, there is a shift to the type of player we want at the position IMO and that shift is pro style.

You misspelled Gayhart you dumbass. Wrong thread?

Ha, my bad.... hell I should know better, he married my ex-GF's little sister, good dude

EDIT: Just hit me why you would know the correct spelling

I read tonight that Deon Hollins Jr. is looking to visit after things didn't turn out the way he wanted at UT's junior day. UT offered 2 DE's and 1 LB not named Hollins.

This dude has a hell of an offer list.

Thanks Feisty.

 

[Burner1]

How do we get to 20? Looks like about 14 as of now. Are we expecting qualification attrition in the 2012 class?

2 guys graduating on time. That gets us to 16, plus the natural attrition.

 

[West Coast Johnny]

Good feeling about Bennett, Reid, Riley, Davis & Slanina.

The zone read is a small part of the offense,

Our entire offense was built around the zone read and variants with Dalton making decisions in the running game. Pachall looked awkward as hell running it. If we don't change then I hope he gets better at managing the running game.

Exactly.... we couldn't run the zone-read worth a crap this year, yet we still managed to have one of our best offensive years on record. That's because Pachall could wing it around the field.

On the other hand, say we had a QB who couldn't throw worth a damn, but was great at the zone read..... my guess is we wouldn't have been so hot on offense.

That is because passing the football is WAY more important than being able to run the zone read, as far as a QB's skill-set is concerned.

Being able to run the zone read is a bonus, and it adds another dimension, but it's not going to be the determining factor in who we recruit to play the position.
