Reading a few different things on Long but consensus seems to be that he's tough on his players so we'll see if Herman wants to go that route. But think Herman needs to evaluate himself more than anyone else. As far as this class, really like that we loaded up on the OL. Ash converting on Collins and former DE commit Princely Umanmielen for NSD2 would be HUGE. Think we'll need to scour the portal for LB help.
Big fan of Bijan and really glad he stayed in the fold. Read the Bleacher Report article on him if you haven't.
according to rivals that is their only top 100 commit I think. did other guys change their minds?? I could have swore looking earlier in the year and UT had 4-5 guys on there
Pretty sure Casey Thompson is the next guy up although there are rumors that he might look at the portal (he did last year but backed out).
Alfred Collins and Princely U. are still in play, last I heard, especially with the switch to a 4-man front
Man that’d be a great hire if Herman can pull it off. Seems like there’s too much time for something to happen in the meantime though.
Some rumblings that Yurcich has a contract in hand. Also being reported that Beck has a another gig lined up after the bowl game. Although he was a failed hire by Herman, guy was one heck of a recruiter.
Yurcich would be a great hire. He had great offenses at OKST even when they were well behind in recruiting. Not like Beck who was OC at Nebraska who had crap offenses.
Ciarrocca took the Penn State OC gig which should clear some of the way for Yurcich. He was from the Penn area so thought was he’d be a candidate.
