Turntine’s “family commitment” ….


Recommended Posts

Texas will get their guys.  They play the long game in recruiting.  Just had the #1 recruiting class.  In the NIL era, winning out on any top tier prospect is a crapshoot.  Texas will have another top 3 class and finally have the talent and depth of peak Bama, Georgia, and Ohio State going into what could be a special 2026 season.  Won’t worry about this until December.

No issue at all with him choosing to go to the "other" UT for a Junior Day. However, it could be a big issue if he was not being truthful with the Texas coaches regarding why he was not coming to Austin.  It would be nice to know if Gerry's reporting was NOT coming from our coaches but rather from the kid or a source close to the kid.  I look forward to Gerry clarifying this for us, as it is not a big deal if he told Gerry a "story" about family plans, vs if he was actually not straight with our coaches, as that would be a negative sign.

Let it play out, we’re gonna get who we need under flood regardless and if he’s not apart of it so be it. 

Let’s don’t be naive.  Flood struck out on Roger’s, Fausi and Hayward.  He wasn’t going to get all three but he should have picked off one but two of the three went to our rivals.  Not saying we have lost our on Turntine but he not showing up at Austin the biggest day of his recruiting cycle up too now is surprising,  Why?  It shows he is not locked into Texas yet.  It was about him, not helping Texas recruit future teammates.  Now, he has every right to go where he wanted last weekend,  However, we should know better to say a coach will get his players.  We watched Mack spend his last years, not getting the best players.

It will always be what have you done for me lately. That’s the nature of coaching and recruiting.

That being said, Flood has done nothing to suggest he doesn’t deserve some trust in the process.

The guys's post is a little over the top but it does list a real, factual data point from last cycle.   So he hasn't "done nothing".  I think the point is his track record over the long haul, even allowing that our two NFL tackles this year were refugees from a coaching change.

Despite Sark not attending due to the flu, Texas received Fong predictions to land Felix Ojo and Jamarion Carlton.  Not so bad after all.

If that turns out to be true, that sounds like that means that Ojo told Flood that he would play RT @Gerry Hamilton , correct me if I'm wrong.
