'17 TX OG Xavier Newman (Signed to Baylor)

[KyleM.]

I was told Texas knows of his trip to CU and signed off on it. CU is in it, but it would be surprising if he flips. If Strong goes, who knows.

 

[Jeric]

However, a Longhorn recruiting analyst did predict him to flip to CU.

The coaching staff likely to be fired signed off on it? Good news for them?

 

[KyleM.]

Good point. Of the three DeSoto visitors it sounds like Newman is the most likely to stay closer to home.

 

[Duff Man]

I think he will be a difficult flip, but Texas is giving us every opportunity now.

I don't see how Strong survives in this case... 3 straight losses, 2 of which are to two pretty mediocre teams (Cal and Okie St), including their biggest rival. At best, I see them going 7-6 with 3 more losses to Baylor, WVU and TCU. Maybe they pull one of those out with all of them being at home... Throw in the possibility of losses @ Kansas State and @Texas Tech.

It's Texas. They'll win and lose some they shouldn't. Then they'll fire Strong, and we'll get to watch Shaggy melt down when Herman goes elsewhere.

 

[KyleM.]

If Nixon falls in love and commits the dominoes could go fast. Shenault is 100 percent Buff. Also was told DeSoto 2018ers Kelan Walker (4-star), Gemon Green (4-star) and Josh Jynes will take unofficials to CU this weekend.

the thought of opening up a DeSoto pipeline is very, very exciting.

I would love to see Herman leave UT at the altar

 

[Duff Man]

A true DeSoto pipeline would be pretty amazing.

He will probably get fired but IMO shouldn't. They could have a very similar run to what Washington has going on this year. Very talented team but really young. They will probably be the favorite in the Big-12 next year, might even be a playoff favorite if Herman actually takes the gig.

Wow. That's, um, impressive.

UT is one of the handful of programs that shouldn't have to wait until year 4 in a coach's tenure to be "winning big". Strong is 13-17 as a HC there, including 1-2 against OU. Not sure he deserves another year, especially when/if Herman is available and shows interest.

 

[Highlander]

My prediction on Newman:
1) He flips to the Buffs
2) Changes his twitter header to "CU Buffs Commit"
3) Changes it about a month later to "972 to 303"
4) Much angst and self loathing follows from the Buff faithful for exactly zero reason

Come on Newman - be a Buff! The Rise is real!

 

[BuffLuke80]

DeSoto is loaded so I'm glad the staff has hit it up hard. Dudes from there won't have to wait around to play.

I was mistaken, it's Gemon Green, brother German Green and Josh Jynes who are visiting unofficially. CU has offered Kelan Walker though. Wouldn't be surprised if they were recruiting Michael Singleton as well. DeSoto is ridiculously loaded.

I was about to ask why one Green was coming not the other. Thanks for the info. I'll take the Greens and the Moore brothers from Yoakum.

I was checking out my high school and saw that DeSoto is the number one ranked team in Texas.

 

[KyleM.]

DeSoto is No. 3 in the Maxpreps Xcellent 25, no joke that's what it's called, poll and No. 7 in the USA Today Super 25. Not bad. Gorman, DeSoto, IMG, Bosco, Mountain Pointe and Allen are all in the Maxpreps top 10. Nice to see CU at those schools.

 

[chitownbuff]

I'd prefer that we spend our time visiting every single HS in Colorado instead of posting up at those schools.

I know your joking, but I still think it's important to establish relationships with the in state schools as much as possible.

Link to interview with DeSoto head coach Todd Peterman: CU tapping into Texas powerhouse DeSoto

On Newman:
"He’s very, very athletic, he’s an athlete; if he worked real, real, real hard he could probably play some tight end. You know, he’s that good of an athlete. He can really run and he’s just mean on the field. He’s a mean football player.”

 

[DBT]

Mean? I like mean. On the football field that is.

 

[ElCunado]

De-commited from Texas

Timing seems weird

Boom goes the dynamite! THE RISE IS REAL!!

Shenault just retweeted the decommit. I would think Nixon and Newman are about to come along for the ride!

 

[FLounda]

Is the rise real? Did we just flip a Uterus recruit?? Does 2+2=4???

 

[buff4bcs1985]

He was flashing the CU hand signal all game long
