Charlie Strong's National Signing Day Press Conference!!!

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
Galatians 6:9

[Author's Note: BevoBeat has A LOT more here.]

THIS is why he needed another year:



Highlights:

• Whole team joined in effort.
• One recruit played a prank on Malik Jefferson by pretending to decommit

• "We had 32 players take official visits here and we sat 24 of 'em."

• "A lot of these student athletes, it's all about academics for them."
• "The #1 thing for them is to get a degree."

• A bunch of guys on offense are already on campus."

• Shane Buchele has two sisters at O.U.

• Kyle Porter - "Don't even call me until you're ready to commit."

• Jordan Elliot - "6'3", 322!!!"

• Chris Brown - "The thing I like about you is you have a chip on your shoulder."

• "We know we had to put together a good class."

• "Today was a big step forward for our program."

• "We've just got to continue to work and continue to build it."

• "I'm gonna ridin' ya until you tell me don't call me anymore."

• Buchele: "He's going to have a chance to compete."

• QB: "Is going to be a very competitive position."

Our Thoughts:

• Heading into next season, the Longhorns had big holes to fill on Offensive line, Defensive Line, and Secondary; this class fills those needs.

• In addition to filling those needs, this class built depth at almost every position group.

• The one position group where depth is lacking is tight end; we still think Tyrone Swoopes fills the bill.

• They're STACKED at the QB position.  Heard has three years of eligibility left and Buchele is on campus.  Sam Erhlinger is a year away.

• We'd rather be where the Longhorns are than where either the Aggies or the Cowboys are.
