Mike Roach: Thoughts on Texas commits and targets in final 2021 Top247 update

We have two Top247 recruits, compared to Oklahoma's 10 and A&M's 12. Brutal.

Satya rubs it to transition classes. Last time we had one he declared the Texas brand dead. We finished #3 in the country the next year.

Some thoughts that might be worth what you’re paying for them:

-LJ Johnson - this is a crazy recruitment. Dude presses to graduate early. Then he might not show up for spring at either school. He has a chance to compete for backup at either school, instead this guy is going to do footwork for the spring at home and then redshirt after showing up in June? Neither group of coaches is loving the lack of competitiveness. 

-True to form, the LB from UTenn is going to make sure he gets his. Bama is the likely outcome. If Texas gets this guy, well, bags for sure be droppin’. 

-The ol’boy out of Seattle ain’t signing on NSD2. He might give Texas an actual look and make it fun, but he’s going to Ohio State. 

-I am not the only guy watching CFB religiously that thinks Charvonnet is a depth guy. The guys at Texas that are paid to do this are pursuing him because they know better. 

-Abiara is as close as a lock as we could hope for those still unsigned for 2021. 

-The PWO kicker is exciting for the staff. Family, HT to @Hank Scorpio, is loaded. Laramie had PWO offers from everyone accordingly.  He’s worth a scholarship. 

If you have an open and obvious question that I didn’t touch on for what is left in this shit show of a class, LMK. I have been hustling on different calls all day and then cooking and got a couple of calls while whipping something up and might not be remembering everything.

How much did PK have to do with the 2 transfer pickup at edge rusher?

How bad is OL recruiting looking for 21? Any hope at all outside of Uke? Are we going to have to go the transfer market?

What is the biggest hole the staff sees right now between the roster and current class?

Thanks for the solid 4,904th  post. I have been watching the new staff closely and if we land an out of nowhere highly rated recruit or transfer like the LB or DT  you mentioned it will confirm the new staff has the bag game in play. I can only hope.

Has there been speculation behind the scenes that perhaps a heretofore unknown 3rd party has entered the LJ recruitment, hence the stalling/indecision?

—I spoke to a high school recruiting coordinator who talked with Texas quarterbacks coach AJ Milwee today. We don’t know much about Milwee as a recruiter, so I was curious to hear this coach’s perspective. The two connected for a long conversation about this coach’s prospects and I’m told that the conversation was more than just an introductory thing. Milwee asked questions intended to carry out a thorough evaluation of his prospects. This coach mentioned that the prior staff didn’t communicate nearly as well and he was encouraged by this interaction.

—I still don’t have a great handle on the recruiting territories for assistants, but I’d bet Jeff Banks will be responsible for Dallas and the I-20 corridor in the southern part of the metroplex in particular. Coaches in Dallas rave about him, and it was his area prior when at UTEP and Texas A&M. One high school coach told me that Banks is one of the most relentless personalities he’s ever met no matter if it’s coaching or recruiting.

—I checked with sources tonight to see if there was any interest in Michigan running back transfer Zach Charbonnet. I was told Texas doesn’t feel that he’s a great fit and likely wouldn’t pursue him. Texas is looking at all options for the running back position, but there continues to be some growing confidence in ultimately landing LJ Johnson.

This isn't about Sarkisian as much as it's about Hughes. Chang and several of his very capable guys are gone. There has been one person (Hughes) hired. Those other guys were a direct pipeline to the coaches/trainers/high school coaches/etc ... and remained in constant contact with all of them. Some of them have enormous value beyond the daily grind. Keeping some of the previous staff is all good and well, but if you are going to "double your staff" and want to reach out to the high school coaches, etc ... you don't start by firing guys who actually good at the harder parts (evaluating talent), and/or who have multi-generational ties to high school coaches and/or guys who do it for fucking peanuts because this is their dream job. Some of these guys they let go had continued working throughout the process, some of the guys they kept not so much. The rhyme or reason to each seems to be around who was likable or vibed, not who has done the heavy lifting nor who has shown a level of dedication. 

You guys keep talking specifically about talking to recruits, but that is a TINY portion of the work involved. It's not just kids and those conversations but coaches and trainers who are conduits to the recruit excitement levels. Speaking with each recruit has a good impact, if you can get a guy that coaches 14 teams from 10u to 18u to buy in and be excited you've made a much bigger impact. etc... this is why teams like Bama and Clemson (and Texas) have these large front office orgs because there is a mountain of work to do, a million relationships to maintain, and the ones with the 75 or so highly prized recruits (per class) that the staff directly interacts with are a fraction of the communication and even that undertaking is massive. 

Hughes absolutely should have had people already hired at this point and honestly should have come with 3-4 people in tow. 

There's really no reason to not have made several hires by now, especially if the goal is doubling the size of the team. It's what ~9 days to NSD and how many JR days (or whatever takes their place during COVID) are happening almost immediately after that? There are massive 7on7 events going on every single weekend and Texas is invisible, which is a negative presence. These events should be absolutely buzzing right now with news of the Sark's offense, Kwiatkowski's schemes, etc... they are not. At all. It's been more than 3 weeks since the Sarkisian hire and based on the recent donor call, he expected Hughes would need 2-3 weeks to get more people in place. That is simply unacceptable. Each recruiting class is a fight and if you go 6 or more weeks fighting with on arm behind your back you are going to take damage, even if you are the bigger stronger fighter. 

it's been poorly executed to this point. Not dire - but really it's an unforced error. 

I'm not sure what your definition of Chang's guys is, but if you are speaking on the young GAs and coaching assistants departing the program, they weren't Chang's, and they damn sure weren't evaluating talent for Chang. Most couldn't name more than 2 or 3 people in Chang's department, and most couldn't name more than one or two recruits at their position. The coaching guys and GAs interview with and are selected by the coaches. Yurcich for example brought in a guy from Michigan or Minnesota, one of the M's anyway. If you are including Shipley in this group, which I am not sure if you are but the post was unclear to me, Shipley was hardly ever in the facility more than a few days a week, one being Saturday for game days. The dude has been pseudo-retired for a while according to a couple people, but I've yet to have that verified by anyone other than them. I have no idea if he's sticking around and I haven't read or asked around to find out. Obviously I'd prefer he stays on, but he's also not irreplaceable. I wouldn't be surprised if Shipley leaves Texas on his own for retirement or whatever.

 

However, if you are speaking on the younger interns, volunteers, and staffers such as Langi, those who actually cut up film and evaluated recruits with and for Chang, only some of which speak to recruits and their families, those are "Chang's guys". Most, if not all of them remain with the program currently. Chang was the only member of the recruiting staff that worked through the transition that has been let go (so far). A majority of these guys, recruiting and coaching interns alike, didn't form or even attempt to form relationships with recruits or coaches, much less their trainers and street agents, outside assistants like Langi and rarely a coaching assistant like former assistant Coats. According to a former coaching assistant, the recruiting department actually had grievances about the coaching assistants and GAs not being more involved in recruiting to assist their position coaches.

 

There are several reasons not to have a full staff hired in the department by now, unfortunately the recruiting facility is not as simple as sticking a bunch of evaluators in a room with cubicles containing a desk treadmill, a pillow, and routine rations and saying "get to work". There are several criteria and standard that must be developed and agreed upon by the new staff for them to implement the system they desire to replicate to form the basis of evaluation going forward before the recruiting staff can evaluate to the coaches' standards. This was not a transplanted staff like Herman brought from Houston, so they weren't magically all on the same page once they were graced by the doorway of the northern gates of DKR. I share your sense of urgency on the trail, but we wouldn't have gotten it done anyway with the few stooges Hughes may have managed to uproot and transplant on an overnight flight. The recruiting staff has been in high gear both before and after Hughes was brought on, the urgency from them is a non-issue.

1. He brought in Hughes to run the program.  Maybe Hughes and Chang didn't jive?  Maybe they didn't like how Chang and company did things and are wanting to go in a different direction.  Maybe Chang is a die hard Herman guy and they are wanting to remove those types form the program. Maybe Chang thinks Herman got a raw deal and gave Sark double rods when they met....We don't have a clue.  However, at this point in time....I am going to trust Sarkisian's decision making on who to retain and who to cull a lot more than I am going to put faith in Herman's original hires.... I mean I love Carrington and he seems to be great, but lets not forget Chang was hired by the same guy who hired the football coaches for the past few years......Again we don't know, maybe Sark wanted to keep Chang but Chang didn't want to stay or work for Hughes or whatever.  Maybe he was burnt out on the recruiting stuff.....who knows.  Maybe Chang has been coasting on the rest of the staff I have no freaking idea. 

 Chang was one of Herman's very few phenomenal hires and did a great job, but that doesn't mean things in his department couldn't have been improved upon. There's no need to deal in absolutes.

I think the Chang vs Hughes/Sarkisian concern from @SydneyCarton, @golfclap, and @Ricky's one-hitter is worthy of examination, but I struggle to get behind it until more comes out about what's going on. 

For one, while I'm of the opinion that Chang's team was solid at evaluations, I don't think that's an exclusive feature for a good recruiting department. That should be table stakes for anyone in that role at a program of Texas' reach. Hughes has plenty of skins on the wall to point at from UCF forward in his own right. The handwringing over trading out Hughes for Chang is unwarranted from the "can the new guy meet the performance of the old guy?" concern.

So I don't get the big deal about wanting to replace a person in a key role with your guy. There doesn't seem to have been any hesitation about that move by Sarkisian. Maybe you guys don't see this as a turnaround since it was one of the elements that was fine under Herman, but that's never how hostile regime change works. It's actually shocking that Sarkisian has kept as many on-field and off-field staff as he has. "I don't care how they were doing it. That got everyone fired. If I'm going to get fired or win, we're going to face that doing it my way." 

So then you're left with a speed to market issue. The program is playing from behind on offseason work such as tournament and camp attendance. Okay. The notion that the new guy should hit the ground running immediately with "3 to 4 of his guys" is an easy thing to say, and a harder thing to do. Know how I know? I've done it, at times with even more than "3 to 4 guys" in tow. Not in football, but in the same fashion. Asking people to uproot immediately and be at the next place overnight is easier said than done. The less money they're making, even if you're offering a step-up, the less quickly many can move. This isn't a fucking movie. This isn't Oceans 14 - Austin Style, where everyone converges on Bellmont at the same time, high-fiving and grabbing cell phones to make calls all at once, shortly after a travel montage set to Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" or some shit shows them getting there from disparate locations.

The timing expectation provided around this premise is absurd. Sarkisian didn't know he had the job until roughly NYD. Then outreach might begin in earnest, while balancing CFbP needs for 12 days. How much time, given all of that and whenever he spoke to Hughes, is Hughes supposed to have had to have his "3 or 4 guys" fucking sewn up, packed, moved, and in-territory recruiting and gladhanding? It's 1/25. 

This Hughes dude's background includes installing a frontline of students doing research and analysis, coordinating with the on-campus relations partner, and then building out the full-time staff for off-campus relations, camp creations, etc. If he and Chang didn't handle it the same way, he's going to want it done his way. 

2021 is a sunk cost for the new off-field staff. Maybe they get lucky following a lead or two, but that's it besides the obvious pre-existing targets. So they're late to the party on 2022 and 2023? Take the effort to do it right the first time and count on performance and brand to sling-shot the program forward again once you've laid a foundation on bedrock. 

 

Agreed with all of this above, much more accurate take. There is reason for some skepticism as golfclap has said, but we don't need to twist ourselves into Satya knots over inconsequential or forgone changes (insert "You new here?" comment).

 

I was told it became apparent to those within the department that a "Chang and Hughes" deal was never truly on the table. the reception from Sark to the retainees has been welcoming and the coaching staff relied heavily on certain individuals throughout the transition. i've yet to receive any feedback about hughes himself but his resume is more than enough to have earned the benefit of the doubt at the very least

Given the step up in competition, he probably won't be ready to contribute meaningfully at the beginning of the season, but there's a chance he will be towards the end of the season when the guys above him on the depth chart start getting banged up

Sarkisian heading back to Alabama for a RB?
Texas is kicking the tires on offering Dothan High (AL) speedy and versatile running back Jaylin White. The near 5-foot-10, 185-pounder has had Ole Miss and Purdue as his most likely destinations, but that could change quickly with an offer from the Longhorns. Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton, Brandon Harris and Bryan Carrington have all been working on the info gathering and recruiting process with White with the staff having made contact with White and Dothan High head coach Smitty Grider on Wednesday. Florida has also been mentioned as a potential destination possibility in the last few days.

The Longhorns have also been in contact with Michigan transfer Zach Charbonnet, and the staff does see potential value in bringing in the 6-foot-1, 220-pounder.

i know this is a recruiting thread but...podcast thing i should probably post elsewhere so i am spoilering

  Hide contents

i think a podcast segment on historical "classics" would be awesome. even if it's just going over funny stuff like the statues debacle (how i found shaggy) - can have folks who were around then, or just have folks tell some of their favorite stories from past boards/threads/whatever

 

We will hit on some of this stuff later on when news dies down and shit gets slow. I wasnt around a ton on shaggy back in the day but would love to have someone thats been around a lot walk down memory lane. Would be fun for me as well if I havent heard the story before

RB notes from Gerry

Spoiler

Sarkisian heading back to Alabama for a RB?
Texas is kicking the tires on offering Dothan High (AL) speedy and versatile running back Jaylin White. The near 5-foot-10, 185-pounder has had Ole Miss and Purdue as his most likely destinations, but that could change quickly with an offer from the Longhorns.

Not that we had much of a shot anyway, but sounds like we are completely out of it. Too bad. 

I think that was the report after the initial attempt.  He was 100% committed at that time and now will wait to fully consider.  It's still a long shot but i'd bet our shot went from 0% to 10% chance.  soyoursayingtheresachance.gif

I love how quickly you have to come here to post your masturbatory doom-porn for the rest of us to see. If it's bad new (or in most cases, just some wescott ebberts-esque drummed up fake bullshit bad news) you're faster than Machinator. Tell us the truth, your leaked a little bit when you posted this, didn't you?

Eberts must think his fan base consists of aggys or gooners who hunt this stuff for jack off material.  Maybe it does.

Outstanding. Can I ask you, sarvanaash, and anyone else who follows Burnt Orange Nation or visits their site, what it is that you hope to gain from it? Have they ever broken anything newsworthy? Is there fruitful discussion on a board there? Do they have writers who are secretly must-reads?

I've been following Texas and CFB on the Internet since the late '90's. I visited their site once, a while after it launched, wasn't impressed. Never went back or bookmarked it. Forgot about them. Then Peter Bean started popping up regarding a burgeoning meltdown or some shit from people who knew him and posted. Dude was strung out on coke or meth and blowing dudes in his work parking lot for money or something, allegedly, by the end of his run. Then I think he got involved with some sort of shooting at the Omni in downtown Austin? Can't remember.

Anyway, the side stories are bizarrely entertaining. What I don't find useful or entertaining are the stupid ass, uninformed, negatively-oriented tweets that you dipshits regurgitate from them here. They're not a fucking news source. It's like some insipid poster here was reading other people's shit and decided to tweet their third-hand takes on developments, and then you guys mistakenly believe we need to have them thrown back in our face here for a reaction. It's fucking obnoxious and lazy. Posting tweets from those clowns, and their complete lack of any connection to the program, is a negative contribution to this site and threads like this. 

Anywho, the ND transfer took Lawrence's spot. The rest is spin. Good luck to the guy at UH, but he didn't have a better choice. Seemed like a JAG to me anyway.

Always shocks me that people like this exist. I just assume these are all drunk uncles taking a breather from Facebook
