It's fine that you are giving the offense the benefit of the doubt, but recruits aren't required to, especially not when your OC is currently Tim Beck and your WR coach is Mehringer. Those guys don't have the resumes.
I'm just talking about the direct comparison between the two universities' abilities to put players in the NFL, and that Texas hasn't had a problem there until recently in its existence, and that Herman hasn't had a hand in that, at least yet. I've said there are truths in it. I've said I understand a recruit buying into that knock against Texas. You're not telling me anything new that I don't understand.

That doesn't really hold water. Orlando coached up Charlies guys on the other side of the ball and they were a bigger train wreck than the offense under his regime outside of OLine.
That defense was one of the more talented units in the conference.
The offense, outside of a couple of receivers was not a very talented bunch at all. Had basically zero tight ends, olinemen who shouldn't have been playing, a true frosh QB who made some boneheaded mistakes. No, I will not accept that Herman had the equivalent talent to work with on offense that Orlando did on defense. It wasn't close.I'm not putting this first year of offensive suckage on Herman. This year is when I start to worry if it's looking similar.

They have a 1 year sample size where our WRs regressed pretty much across the board.
Yah, with Charlie's guys. Let's not act like he got in a Cadillac and ragged it out.

There is nothing remotely illogical about what he is saying. Urban Meyer, despite His team culture issues has been putting players in the league. Especially on offense. Meanwhile our offense has been a god damn tire fire for 4 straight years.
If you weee truly being objective there is nothing you can really argue about with what he says.
The illogical part would be that Herman has been here for one season, and that he helped put those kids in the NFL at OSU (hint: the part I bolded in the quote).
Edited to add: I'm not saying there's not truth in it. It all makes sense, especially on the surface. OSU has put the butts in the NFL, early rounds. Texas has not.
But that stretch of Charlie + Mack has nothing to do with Herman right now. That's what he's trying to fix. Kids like Wilson would help him fix that.

I don't think anyone is blaming the kid for picking the team with more recent success. The issue is with taking an unnecessary shot at UT in doing so - particularly when a portion of OSU's recent success can be attributed to the coach now at UT. It kind of made him look like a bitch - which he may or may not be. But now we're left wondering.
Kid is what, 17? Remember the dumb shit you were convinced of at 17, or hell, 27 (I don't know how old you are but that applies to me, at least). I'm not expecting a 17 year old to think very logically here when he was recruited by 50 schools and 49 of them told him the same damn thing that OSU did. Hear it enough you believe it without thinking that much about it, especially at that age.

I mean, he's not wrong. We have not developed our players the way we should have on offense atleast. But that is going to change. This year we may have 2 WRs drafted as Jrs in the NFL. We need 1 winning season and this shit will get fixed. 8 years of losing will do that.
I think it's a mix of not properly developing players and choosing the wrong players, no matter how many stars that player had. AND NOT HAVING DANG QBS

These people.
First I'll address Whittington. Being from his hometown, not knowing him personally as I've been gone for 15+ years, but knowing some of his family and others: A&M was not his dream school. I think he liked Sumlin and that whole vibe more than A&M. I know his bro went to SMU, but really wanted to go to Texas (offer never came, + SMU is where their uncle went and set some school records as RB. Won SB with Raiders). From what I know, once Whittington came of age to really pay attention, he liked the Horns. So no, A&M wasn't "a dream". As a matter of fact, his commitment video hints to him always wanting to be a Longhorn.
#2. As for people moving to Odessa Permian: Permian had it's shadier sides, but people were moving out there for the Oil Field. And yes, if you're moving out to West TX to be closer to your job, and you have a kid who looks like he can be a stud football player, you're probably gunna choose the town/side of town with the better football team. + the local kids were really just that good back then. It happens.
Assgs are funny.

"In the end, I’ve watched a lot of people go to Texas with a ton of ability and maybe not achieve what I thought they could. I didn’t want to be one of those guys.”
This is something that Herman and his staff have had to acknowledge with these kids, because they know it's what they're being told by the other schools. It's something I and many of you have accepted also. It holds its truths, but it's a different regime. That's not a reflection of Herman and his staff, but at the same time, they really have no sample-size in comparison, so you understand a kid wanting to go somewhere where the sample size is big and shows favorable.
What Herman and Co have to do is sell these kids on THEMSELVES being the reason they'll be successful, not Urban.. Saban.. David Shaw....(okay maybe David Shaw can get them a little more pro-ready), not Herman himself. IF they're really that damn good, they'll find their way to success, and "achieve what you think they could" just playing within the system the coaches run.

“hearing A&M may be added late”
No you didn’t.
Of course there’s more going on when someone doesn’t pick them.
There's more to the story, but we can't go into that right now. Let's just say his cousin Stuckie may not be able to drive him to the next apartment complex parking lot Grill and Burn either.

That is fucking awesome. This woman is seriously going to end up being an ambassador for us for 4 fucking years. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up hiring her at some point.

Mehringer needs to hurry up and change his Twitter bio to "protector of pregnant womens" and make sure the Wilsons see it. #Crootin'

Joe Cook: Herman expands on Jamison’s position change, player’s position preference in recruiting
Every college coach in any sport, Texas head coach Tom Herman included, knows that recruiting is the lifeblood of the program. In order to recruit well, coaches need to often tell players what they want to hear.
Earlier in his recruitment in a since-deleted tweet, Texas freshman D’Shawn Jamison stated he wanted to be used in college like former Michigan Wolverine and current Cleveland Brown Jabrill Peppers. In the early stages of his Texas career, Jamison might get that wish.
In the official 2018 media guide and on the roster on the official athletics website, the class of 2018 member from Houston Lamar is listed as a wide receiver, confirming Inside Texas’ previous reporting. His Twitter profile reads that he is both a wide receiver and a defensive back at Texas, a role similar to that of Peppers.
In his final two seasons in Ann Arbor, Peppers amassed 111 total tackles, 18.5 of them for loss, three sacks and an interception. In addition, he rushed for five touchdowns and averaged 13.1 yards per punt return and 26.8 yards per kick return.
Though Jamison might not work between the tackles, Herman assured him the opportunity to both try and score and prevent scoring.
“He’s going to play both this year,” Herman said Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days. “He’s been working at both throughout the offseason. He’s been doing drills with both the slot receivers and the DBs. We certainly plan to use him on offense, but I think it’s more of a stop-gap.”
Jamison’s high school highlights are full of kick and punt returns for touchdowns, so putting the ball in his hands makes sense. It also makes sense for the Longhorns, as there is a need at the slot receiver position following the departure of Reggie Hemphill-Mapps. Though junior Lil’Jordan Humphrey is set to have a big year, those behind him on the depth chart are unproven.
“We approached D’Shawn and said ‘hey, we’ve got a need for some dynamism at that slot receiver position, and you certainly have it. The DB room is pretty packed this year, not to say that you can’t crack into it, but we’d like for you to at least get some work at slot receiver and see how it goes,’” Herman said. “By all accounts, he’s having a pretty good offseason.”
Being able to bring this account to star prospects on the recruiting trail is a nice feather for Herman to have in his cap. Currently, two of Texas’ top 2019 targets, Bru McCoy of Mater Dei (Calif.) and Makiya Tongue of University Lab (La.), have aspirations of playing a different position than what the Longhorn coaches would prefer them to play at.
According to Herman, he leaves that choice up to the players.
“You come into our program, and you can play whatever you want to play,” Herman said. “You look at the depth chart and say ‘I want to play this,’ and usually it always works itself out.”
Herman noted just because a player is in his preferred position does not mean he is guaranteed playing time. In his example, he said that a player who comes in as a linebacker but who his staff prefers at defensive end will get every opportunity to play linebacker.
“Usually by the second or third week, knock, knock, knock on coach’s door,” Herman said. “‘Hey coach, I’m the fourth string linebacker, I think I could be the second string defensive end. Do you think I could move to defense?’”
Those decisions normally work themselves out, but Herman knows it has to take place organically. As soon as it’s forced, it becomes an issue.
“It’s always the young man’s decision,” Herman said. “If it’s not, you’re not getting a full buy-in.”
Judging by Jamison’s Twitter bio and Inside Texas’ previous reporting, the buy-in, in this case, is there.

Absolutely, and I didn't find the talent that Charlie started off working with on offense, and the talent he LEFT on offense to be much to work with at all, so I'm not going to hold that first year against Herman right now. That's my judgment.
