re: Caden Sterns decommits. Flips to Texas

Good luck to EdParis.2

Posted this on 247, and this is really how I feel:

Hard to be upset about this one at all. It would have been a miracle to hold onto an elite safety this class with us getting Stevens, Delpit, Harris, Lewis & Monroe at safety the last 2 classes. That's a long time to wait for a 2018 recruit to play here.


Can't blame Sterns for probably buying the pitch Texas was selling which is "come here and play right away, or go to LSU and wait behind 5 freshmen this season" (who were all Top 13 safeties in their class)

Have fun being sexually harassed by Herman on gamedays

Anyone know if we are still after any other top safety targets?

... BJ Foster is out of texas.

Because he got a kid to look at the depth chart?

I remember just last year when everyone was pointing at UT's class and laughing about Herman. Not so funny anymore.

I was never laughing at Herman, but I also don't have a love affair with him that I continue to hold on to.

Not surprising at all IMO given we brought in THREE top S's this past recruiting cycle, two enrolled early, and one - Delpit - is being talked as a potential starter. Depth chart flip, plain and simple.

Caden is actually dating my niece and i know first hand why he de-committed. It was a combination of a few things. First off LSU is stacked at Safety and Caden wouldnt have seen much playing time until he was a junior. He also said the lack of communication from Aranda played a part in it as well. Also he stands a good chance in playing early at UT and on both sides of the ball. He is a very good kid with a great head on his shoulders and i would have loved for him to be a Tiger but for him going to UT is the smarter choice.

Yes lol kids these days are something.

Dont know what he would play on offense but that is what the coaching staff at UT is selling him
