I don’t know what the NCAA rules are on this, but I would love to see the new guy take Ed Oliver to some Westfield games next fall. Ed is a rock star. If we could arrange for him to talk to the Westfield team about how great it is to be at UH, that will likely mean a lot more to them than whatever a new coach has to say.
Ed and Marcus are there all the time wearing UH gear. They were this past Saturday for the playoff game and missed the team meeting. I don’t think we’ll lose that Westfield pipeline because Meekins left.
Sumlin and Herman understood that their first stops at houston would be to use it to establish recruiting ground around the metropolis.
No coincidence that Sumlin ended up at A&M and Herman at UT.
The question is, where Major’s ultimate destination, LSU ?
How does Houston stop this !
Before we start hyping up, Major, let’s see if he can lead a team into winning a conference championship, and win 10+ games. I still have my reservations, and think that he is better suited as an assistant than the lead man. Maybe we hired him by default.
You lost me on your comment about Jason Phillips, who has been a journeyman coach at best. He is no doubt a decent recruiter but outside of that his ability is very limited IMO. I have been skeptical about Major but I think our first pick was the OU assistant and when that fell through our best choice was to stay with the internal pick.
I think Herman was pretty conservative at times trying to run the dang ball. His intentions were good but we did not have the OL to get that done. I think the Major could surprise…at least let’s hope so…Go Coogs…
OLB are up next: #7 Dekalen Goodson & #29 Zamar Kirven are committed to Houston
Offers are out to: #2 Chad Bailey, #4 Byron Hobbs (UT commit), #5 Joseph Ogbunbanjo, #6 Jacob Doddridge, #10 Jacob Magnum-Farrar, #19 Juan Henry, and #25 Jace Bobo
2018 Pro-Style QBs - Coogs don’t have any commits from this list as Amie is a dual-threat and the 2 guys they did offer #1 Bowman (Texas Tech) and #3 Tune (Kansas) have already committed https://twitter.com/LoneStarHSFB/status/890758954866946054
