Bama, Texas lead freshmen All American team

[Texas Jefe]

one positive for Texas folks, at least we got some good youngsters to build on.

Alabama, well of course they do as well.

Keep them coming, Horns can use em

I wonder who had the best redshirt sophomores?

 

[starbigd]

Of course Texas did......they played 18 true freshmen regularly all season, and all but 3 of the recruiting class played regular minutes if not started......SOMEBODY had to not suck.

That Jefferson kid is legit...

Texas, Alabama lead 2015 ESPN.com True Freshman All-America Team

Congrats to Houston center Will Noble for making the first team. Herman mentioned a couple of times what a nice job our o-line coach did in transforming a young group that Herman called before the season started "gooey" into a pretty solid group by the end of the year.

 

[Texas Jefe]

not a big, big deal. But rather have them than not...

Bama is just stacking them up; my team, Texas, needs a whole bunch more. But I think that one freshman class has a number of potentially very good players on it. If we can just get a couple more classes like that one, things should get much better.

And one quarterback, please.

 

[Texas Jefe]

and as for quarterbacks, I'm really resting my hopes on this guy. Problem is, he still has his senior year to play. Wonder if it's legal to graduate a year early and head to college to play?

Glad to see Mitch Hyatt get some recognition; kid's played extremely well this year as a true freshman LT.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Well in January their will be 5 scholarship QBs on campus(4 of them 4*) and a new OC/QB coach. Odds are we get at least 1 decent QB from the bunch.

This is a must

So looking like Strong will get fired as the new coach will come in and look like a savior when these freshmen are now upperclassmen

That's the truth.

That is why:

TEXAS was good enough to beat OKLAHOMA and BAYLOR..
TEXAS was bad enough to lose to IOWA STATE.

Texas played essentially an entire team of freshman at times it seemed like...
Freshmen are maddeningly inconsistent but wildly talented.

All those freshmen are going to build something great soon if they stick around and get consistent.
The coach in 2017 is going to have a powerhouse in Austin.

Likely some other coach will get credit for the foundation that Charlie Strong built.
I doubt he lasts long enough to see them blossom as juniors and seniors.

 

[Texas Jefe]

that's another reason I want this to work out: Strong has a history of developing his players. How many Louisville players have been drafted the past 3 years?

He needs time to show what he can do with his players, imo. These offensive additions to the staff damn well better produce, and I believe they will.

You guise sound like Tennessee fans for the past 3 years...

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Except for Tennessee wasnt actually beating their rivals.

We got physically overpowering the Sooners down. That part is easy.

We just need to figure out how to beat Iowa State and BYU.
