He better start recruiting better than he has shown so far.

They were excited because a TE they wanted decommitted from Nebraska. The kid signed with Mary Hardin Baylor instead of committing to UT. The LH's have 8 recruits and are ranked 59th in the country.

Quotes from Texas recruiting board:

quote:
Plus, Herman will have had well over a full month on Strong in terms of recruiting when they were both respectively hired.

Strong put two elite classes together following losing seasons and built the talent pool pretty well in those two classes. If Herman, a coach who people are excited about and has numerous relations throughout the state, does poorly with the class, it should be on him. I think he needs to make excellent evaluations the rest of the way in order to build on the last two classes and not have it crumble with a mediocre or poor class.
--------------------------------------------------------
+1 We were all sold on Herman having awesome relationships across the stat of Texas so yes it is beyond fair to judge him on this class.

quote:
Now Texas has "fake damage." Not one recruit, commit, or prospect has mentioned their lack of interest in Texas because we loss to Kansas or because we have 3 years of a losing record.

That is all you. You are literally making it up as you go so that you can just justify your deep dislike of Charlie Strong.

More from UT fans:

quote:
I don't have a problem with whiffingbon guys he's had no relationship with, but he's striking out on players he actively recruited to UH as well. And these aren't 4 or 5-star guys. I didn't expect him to light the world on fire, but I definitely expected him to do better than he has been. We'll see how January goes, I guess, once his staff is complete and can get after it on the trail, but it's not looking good so far.

quote:
He did a good job planning his exit from U of H but not a good job planning his arrival to Texas in my opinion.

quote:
My whole point is you guys praised Herman and how all these player in the state wants to play for him but he's losing out on the same kids and even the ones that was committed to Houston and some low level guys. He's basically bringing his whole staff to Austin so I'm not understanding how it's hard to sell recruits with a bigger brand school since he's so great! He's even losing on guys he's already had previous relationship with at Houston.

......just sitting back and waiting to see the miracle works of Herm

quote:
I am disappointed with the lukewarm response Tom Herman has received with recruits. I think most people expected an uptick in interest from the elite recruits that doesn't seem to be happening. I think most fans are hoping Tom Herman can bring the success on the field because it will solve a lot of the recruiting issues. However, Houston's 2016 season is concerning that in retrospect the 2015 season may have been a flash in the pan. I hope Tom Herman despite his inexperience will bring us wins. It certainly would be more comforting to have hired an established coach, such as Meyer, Harbaugh etc rather than a relative flyer with Herman.
